FULL LENGTH REACTION IS AVAIL ON PATREON AT SECOND TIER .. www.patreon.com/MRLBOYD
"guys this thing aint gonna be on screen much longer right?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I was just about to say that lol.
Heesa gonna be disappointed!!
He did get less and less screentime - in next two...!
Lol it’s either jar jar or last Jedi, which made us love the prequels
whoever recommended him this specific order of watching the series should be incarcerated
The machete edit?
Ya... I haven't been able to watch these reactions. It's very upsetting
I think he got trolled :)
Agreed
Wouldn't be so bad if he actually paid attention when he watched. It's annoying how he is constantly asking questions that he was already given answers to in a prior movie then acts as if what he is watching makes no sense.
The end of the fight between Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Darth Maul shows the difference between Sith and Jedi very well. When the laser partitions separated Qui Gon and Maul from each other, the Jedi began to meditate, calming down, and the Sith, on the contrary, walked in a rage like a tiger in a cage, filling himself with emotions. And when Obi Wan attacked Maul after the death of his master, you can see that he was filled with rage, which took him out of balance, since this is not the way of the Jedi and he does not know how to handle it, and Darth Maul, being a Sith who has been raised inside the order since childhood, who on the contrary feeds himself with emotions, easily he was defeated and thrown into the mine, and only when Obi Wan was able to calm down and return to balance, he was able to defeat Maul
Perfectly presented analysis 🧐
Also consider that Obi-Wan had a little bit of a jump on Maul at first because he didn’t expect a Jedi to be so aggressive, which is why Maul appeared to be on the defense for a few seconds before he adapted.
Read the books Qui Gon was tired as well which is why theneed for meditation
The other thing to realize that Anakin points out in the second movie is the idea that the Sith are selfish while the Jedi are supposed to be selfless, which is why he has such confliction within him. He wants to help everyone else but also wants to have a family and protect them, which is really the Dilemma of all mankind
😔✊
And he tells Qui-Gon in the first episode, that he doesn’t want to bee a problem. Unfortunately, he was “the” problem in the end, because he wasn’t really Jedi material, without a master like Qui-Gon. OB1 was too young. It was too soon for him to have Ani as his padawan.
Thanks for completing the series. I sincerely hope that you've located the person responsible for your watch order and had them thrown into the Sarlacc pit.
I was about to say the same thing. Whoever gave him this watch order is diabolical.
@@Matthew_Baratheon it was danny trejo (machete)!!
lmfao, so true, what a joke
I mean... the machety order leaves out Episode 1 entirely and his end statement was that Episode 1 didn't add anything worthwile to the overall story, so the suggestion seem to have been a good one... it seems that the people who wanted him to watch E1 in the first place were the ones who were at the fault then.
@@animusnocturnus7131 this is why you shouldn't drink your own urine.
2:30 - They're saying "Droidekas", which are an upgraded version of their battle droids.
9:40 - Darth Maul is the apprentice of the hooded guy. He is NOT the Supreme Chancellor. He is, however, a Sith Lord called Darth Sidious.
10:05 - Yes, Jar Jar is a Gungan. They all speak in a child-like manner.
13:30 - Minor spoiler: George Lucas said, "Jar Jar is the key to all of this." I will say that there was a huge backlash against Jar Jar when this movie came out. I didn't really mind the character, but some people called the portrayal as "demeaning and racist", "annoying as Hell", and a lot of other things.
14:19 - He was referring to "off world" communications that could lead the Trade Federation to them, not local communications that don't have the range to be detected off world.
15:27 - Obi-Wan is back on the ship, guarding the Queen.
16:35 - She's saying there was no sex involved with her becoming pregnant. This triggers something in Qui-Gon who thinks he could have been conceived by The Force itself. There's more to that, but "spoilers".
there are no spoilers, he already watched both trilogies, he just was suggested the machete order
Fun fact: a lot of what looks like CGI are practical effects. And it annoyed the people who worked on it that people said it was cgi.
Part of the motivation behind Jar Jar was that Lucas wanted a CGI main character. Jar Jar actually was an extremely impressive technical achievement, and laid a lot of the groundwork for today's motion capture and CGI.
No one cares. Death to Episode 1.
“Jar jar is the key to everything “ - George Lucas, phantom menace.
Smeagol would like to thank Lucas ;))
@@Usernumber777 If jarjar hadnt upseted sebulba in the market Anakin wouldnt have intervened to offer them shelter at his place. So yeah, its all thanks to Jar Jar that they just didnt continued on their way to who knows what.
@@Sacrengard Lucas was always a visionair in details ;))
He was also toned down in subsequent movies because of the “ethnic” undertones of his speech patterns. It was a Kerfuffle when this came out.
Right upfront, the first time you see Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor take their hoods off and turn around. That conversation they're having.... is one of the most important conversations in the entire series, and it's not obvious as to why.
This small exchange is the key to this entire ideological issue -- it's part of Yoda's character arc.
Because Yoda... was wrong. And he pays for it the rest of his life.
In Episode I -
"Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here, and now, where it belongs."
"But Master Yoda said I should be MINDFUL OF THE FUTURE."
"But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the Living Force, young Padawan."
In Episode V -
"This one... a long time have I watched. All his life, as he... looked away. To the FUTURE. To the horizon. Never his mind on where he was! Or what he was doing! Adventure? Excitement? A Jedi craves NOT these things! You are reckless!"
"Yeah, so was I, if you remember!"
"No. He's too old."
And then Yoda starts getting cold feet because Anakin was TEN when he started training, and Luke is clearly pushing TWENTY-FIVE, and Yoda has to be coaxed back to this plan that they've had since they found out Padme was pregnant with twins.
Yoda fucked up. And he knows it. And it's hard for him to admit it. But he does.
It might be difficult to notice because the scene is Yoda's death, but even in Episode VI... he's coming to peace with the fact that leaving Dagobah and leaving his training was... probably for the best. He learned something from Vader that Yoda could never teach him. Purpose. Destiny. Motivation. Responsibility. He made it personal for Luke, and not just a story about what a bunch of old dead guys think.
That's why Luke's growth between Episode V and Episode VI is so, so fascinating to me.
Luke wanted so badly to be his father... Until he met him.
Then he decides to SAVE him.
Where everybody else just... Trained themselves to let go of everything they feared to lose.... As Yoda tells Anakin to do in Episode III.
Well said, friend.
@@keltsune
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
It's admittedly a bit frustrating that this wasn't explained better, and it takes a bit of hindsight to really get down to it. I mean, that's after reading the novelization of Episode 3, and more in realizing that the novel thinks Future Luke is right. Mr L Boyd isn't there yet, but this is what Episode VIII is about.
The whole point of Episode I is that the children are celebrating the good guys winning, and the adults are seeing that something is going HORRIBLY wrong.
Wattos dice were loaded, he was only willing to give up Shmi, so cheating a cheater doesn't feel to bad.
What's crazy is that I've been watching this movie since I was a kid (I was 2-3 when it came out) and I only just realized in one of my latest watches (as a 26 year old) that Watto's die was loaded. 😂
That's why he's like "Yo wtf you cheated!" When it comes up Anakin
This has the craziest way to watch Star Wars. Never seen anything so weird.
Yeah, when I initially heard about machete order I was like "okay I guess whatever floats your boat" but wow, watching it in action is the most confusing thing. You're jumping back and forth too much to keep track of anything I feel like. It makes it feel so disjointed
Blame idiotic Star Wars fans, in particular Patton Oswalt, for popularizing this stupidity. It's the Machete Order, and it was never even a good idea. Yet it spread throughout the internet like wildfire back in the day. Surprised anybody left even still cares about it, and somehow managed to get Mr Logical here to watch in that fashion
It's crazy to me why people can't understand the benefit of this order. The only explanation is that Star Wars has become a semi-religion and people have lost the ability to be open-minded. Knowing Anakin's story before Return of the Jedi increases the tension as to weather or not Anakin will turn back, or if Luke will follow in his fathers footsteps. Not knowing that Vader becomes good again increases the tension during Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith to see this good character and wonder how he turns into the most evil man in the universe. Also, seeing Palpatine's rise to power makes him much more an imposing figure when he is introduced as a prominent character in Return of the Jedi. The Luke/Leia twist is transferred to the end of Revenge of the Sith where it works better. The change to Hayden Chistensen in Jedi actually works if you see the other movies first. Return of the Jedi is the conclusion of the whole series, and it's just better storytelling to have the conclusion at the end. Machete order strictly better.
@@JWar- I think you need a CAT scan
The worst part of this order is followers of the channel trying to keep up who, like myself, respect the things learned approaching these in release order & are not prepared for this crazy order.
It’s super hard to follow these reactions knowing that most questions would be answered had the actual order been followed and honestly less fun to watch the reactions for that very reason. Almost painful. I suspect many of us are watching these machete order reactions purely to support the channel.
Jar Jar binks was supposed to be the comic relief character but was so badly hated the fan theories were that he was actually a sith lord hiding in plain sight.
What you needed from this was to know Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson).
Jar-Jar was here for the little kids in the audience. Some people I know, who were kids when this came out, thought he was funny.
Exactly. Lucas is on record saying the films were all written for 13 year olds. But Boyd, seriously, skip the 7, 8 and 9 movies. They are truly a mess.
That said, I am glad you liked the movie as much as you did.
@@RickSFfan I think he should watch them and form his own opinions.
@@bmaster5324 Absolutely agree. Sure I think maybe he needs to go into them with some context ahead of time, not about the story but maybe more about how they came about, such as Disney buying the property from Lucas and so then they have free reign to really do what they want with the franchise. Many of the people working on the movies from stagehands to grips to props to audio to directors and actors and all in between, were huge Star Wars fans, with good reason. There was a desire to get back to that feeling of a Star Wars universe that felt real, with ships that were dirty and just not as sleek as we see in the prequels, with more practical effects when possible. Not getting into the story but just know that to say it left a fanbase divided is an understatement.
For the record, I enjoyed the sequels, fully recognizing many of their flaws, but still enjoying them anyway. I've never been hyper-critical of movies to begin with. If I walk out of a movie with the thought of "That was a good time", then yes indeed I'll tell people I liked the movie.
@@bmaster5324 Why do you hate people? Why do you want to make someone watch those? I've been a Star Wars fan since the 90s and after going to the cinema for E8 I've decided to not waste my money on the 9th one and only watched it for sake of completion as a VoD. The sequels are not well made movies. The 8th one in particular is so full of logical and pacing errors that it's just mind boggling how anyone who is a professional could have made a movie that is so bad. Someone should place Ryan Johnson in a pillory and let everyone who watched his garbage get at least a single good slap in.
I enjoyed all of these Star Wars reaction videos, but man I'm convinced more than ever that the machete order should be avoided
@Antonio-Gransci I agree
i would disagree that this movie had nothing to do with the others, based on the amount of questions you asked in ep2, it appears to be quite relevant to ep 2 and 3. Also, you seem to really be focusing on Jarjar, but I assure you, missing out on Jarjar was not the reason people disliked you initially skipping this movie. great reaction, looking forward to more
Yes, but none of the questions he had are really answered by the first movie.
@@animusnocturnus7131 'who is that?" "what is a sith" "Do we see his mother", "What is a quigon", are just a few of the questions he had, and i know there several more. Saying "none" of the questions were answered in Ep1 is obviously not true. Sure, some weren't, but the vast majority of his questions were.
@@captainxcookies9344 "what is a sith" was neither more nor less answered in E1 than the rest of the movies.
"Do we see his mother" irrelevant, we did saw her later about as much as in E1.
"What is a quigon" irrelevant for the story.
So ok, there had been some questions that were addressed (I very specifically refrain from using "answered" in this case) in E1 but let me rephrase: Was there any question answered that was relevant for understanding the story?
@@animusnocturnus7131 What this movie adds is the introduction of Anakin, Obi Wan and Padme: where they come from and how they meet, because in episode II you were confused on who Anakin was and how he met Padme (like they had met before)
Also introduces Palpatine and how he rose to power and his interest in Anakin since the beginning.
As well as knowing who build C3PO and where R2D2 came from. You also learn that Anakin had no biological father, which plays a big role in the mythos of the "chosen one".
...
Having said that, this movie could have been shorter.
As for Jar Jar, yes he was supposed to be the comedic relief but didnt resonate with a lot of fans, unfortunately for the actor who played him that wasnt good.
You understand Anakin relationship with his mother, you only saw her dying in episode II. Now you know who Watto is and why Anakin was looking for him when he came back.
People underestimate the value of the things this movie offer and take it for granted.
@@captainxcookies9344 yes, when he was watching episode II I was like smh... thats because you didnt watch ep1!!!
The only reason why you feel ep. 1 added "nothing" was because preatty much of what we know about this era was introduced to you via ep. 2, when it should've been this one instead
On the other side, it does add shit to the story and lore: it introduces the character of qui-gon and the chosen one prophecy, it sets up the relationship between Anakin and his mother for ep. 2, it shows us how the republic worked and why (in retrospect) the clone wars happened, it introduced the rule of two of the sith as well as the character of Padmé and how sidious operates
I know that people who do reactions to movies and stuff can't pay much attention to the movie/series bc they have to put comentary on it, but I think this is just you failing to see these things outside of your pov (but how not, you watched these in the machete order and thus, you messed it all up)
In the world of the story, the prequel era Republic-led galaxy was at the tail end of a renaissance period that was peaceful and prosperous and appreciated craft and aesthetics. After Palpatine took over he ravages the galaxy's resources and made everything hyper-industrial and cheap working merely as a utility void of art and culture like the Empire itself. Things got damaged and destroyed during the civil war and didn't get maintained or invested in hence the disparity. In real life, George Lucas got excited about the technology available to him in the late '90s post-Jurassic Park VFX and took advantage of CGI. Not as much as people bash him for as there were actually a ton of practical miniatures, matte paintings, and in-camera special effects in this movie, apparently more than the original trilogy, just with added computer effects.
The Force is semi sentient and has its own will. It created Anakin to heal itself from the damage the Sith did. When you noted how lucky Anakin, Luke, Obi,.... are, that wasn't luck. Qui-Gon is a maverick and follows the will of the force the most, which is why he has so much faith that things will just work out, like the pod race.
Canon was that Anakin was created by Darth Sidious Master.
We would recommend watching this video from Lucas' apprentice, director Dave Feloni who gives a near-perfect breakdown and analysis of this movie and its impact on the ENTIRE saga! Not a great movie but story wise it sets up everything and the seeds of what happens to the Skywalker family and the galaxy at large. When you know that Lucas was telling a story about a family the setup makes so much more sense.
and which video is that?
Some of the actors in this movie were treated very harshly by fans who didnt think this was a good Star Wars prequel when it first came out.
Anakin's child actor was bullied to the point that he turned to drugs and I dont think he ever turned his life around.
Jarjar's voice actor was asked to do a goofy voice and he decided to use the voice he uses to make his kids laugh. He thought it would be a fun, wholesome idea that his children would enjoy watching. He was harassed by fans to the point that he contemplated suicide.
Now just to be clear I'm not saying this movie didn't handle those two characters horribly, but I think its good to remember these things happened and that we should always control out emotions. Theyre only movies.
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
VS
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
Jedi code all day, baby! ✨️
What this movie adds is the introduction of Anakin, Obi Wan and Padme: where they come from and how they meet, because in episode II you were confused on who Anakin was and how he met Padme (like they had met before)

24:09. I may not understand the question fully. But he learned to speak from his mom. Like most kids
Machete order essentially takes the movie's popularity into account over story composition. It's like handing someone your favorite book and listing the chapters in which to read
Six minutes in, and I'm already laughing myself to death.
Okay. Now I'm glad this got saved for last.
16:45 Yes. Anakin Skywalker is Space Jesus.
In one of the expanded universe novels, it is implied that Darth Plaguis, the master of Palpatine, was experimenting with ways to create "life" by simply manipulating the Force. So, it is implied that with such a technique, that he is the one that created life within Anakin's mom, birthing Anakin. Being born from the Force itself, it stands to reason that he is very powerful with the Force.
My memory of that book is a bit hazy but thats about the jist of it. I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm off.
The Jedi don't want you to have attachments as they can be a path to the dark side,
The Sith embrace the dark side, revel in it, they would let you have a family, then have them all killed to make you fall deaper into it.
I believe the explanation for Anakin's virgin conception was that the Force was reacting to the rising power of the Sith and created a Chosen One to balance it. Worked reeeeal well.
EDIT: I've been reminded that Anakin was made by Darth Sidious's master, Darth Plagueis. I should have known this because I read that book 🤦♂
EDIT 2: Apparently it's more complicated. See discussion below.
I thought that Darth Plagueis (Palpatine/Sidious's master who could use the Force to manipulate life) used the Force to have Anakin conceived BY the Force.
No, the canon story is that Darth Plagueis made him as a replacement to Darth Sidious and that's what caused Darth Sidious to decide it was finally time to kill his master.
No, Plagueis along with Sidious attempted to create life using the force. They failed. The force rebounded killing the majority of Plagueis's other force creations and also impregnating Shmi in response.
@@nathanporter3569 Nah, Lucas has, to my knowledge, shot that down.
Anakin, in a comic, sees a vision that he FEARS makes it so - but not really, I recall.
To all my known records and accounts, the Force made Anakin, to counter Plagueis intentions...
technically, yes, Anakin did bring balance to the force. In episode VI he did killed the emperor, and thanks to his own son he was brought back to the light.
By becoming Vader he kinda brought balance as well, the jedi were becoming corrupted and too proud.
Jar-Jar served a primary purpose of attracting young children to enjoy the franchise with their grandparents and parents. George Lucas knew that he was going to have the over-25 set come to the film, but he wanted the toy market, too.
Jar-Jar’s secondary purpose was plot. He was the key to getting allies in episode I, he was the key gullible person as a substitute Senator to be granting emergency powers to the Emperor in Episode II.
Jar Jar is also representation for naive people everywhere-those who cannot see the big picture around them and “just want to help.” Young children are naive, but so are some adults.
Oh I cannot wait to see Rogue One with you. Should be great fun.
So happy you took the time to watch this movie and make your own opinions on it.
It's a shame that star wars 'fans' are still a bitter bunch that seem to hate 75% of the franchise, but welcome to the fandom
You have to remember this was first film in years and also made to get younger audiences involved so characters like jarjar were hilarious to us when we were kids
This movie was obviously made for little kids. I was a little kid when it came out. I loved Jar Jar and it was cool to see everything from the protagonist’s (Anakin’s) perspective since he was a kid.
14:17 Qui Gon meant for them not to send inter-planetary signals that could direct the Federation to Tatooine.
“Oh no there’s more of them…” I laughed so hard at that I had to grab an inhaler 😆
Mr L Boyd, it's almost like you forget about the magical Force, every 5 seconds. It's the answer to all these questions. The Force.
6:35 his gesture, he used the jedi mind trick
Fun fact the movie was called out as racist because Jar Jars people talk Jamcian and look Jamacian in nature. And the battledroid creatures have Chinese accents and squinty eyes and are short. I mean, there is no denying the stereotypes were a bit on the nose, even if they are aliens.
Thats stupid jamaican is not a race and as an jamaican myself i oike jarjar
And then Harry Potter entered the chat and said, "Hold my Butterbeer!"
Fun fact, the.accent the trade fed guys they were going for was a Transylvanian accent, like your stereotypical Dracula accent. The whole racist thing is BS. The problem with Star Wars now is that many of the aliens don't have an accent, and that makes them less exotic and less as an alien spiecies overall.
Annakin and jar jar show off how bad dialogue and characters can be written. They are studies in what to do wrong
"You can wire this shit, George, but you sure can't say it" -Harrison Ford to George Lucas
One thing that I love about Star wars is that it starts with a perfect society that slowly degrades over time... Indicating that time doesn't necessarily mean improvement.
C3PO didnt become gold until episode III... remember in episode II when anakin came back to rescue his mother 3PO was still there but he was silver... he just tagged along
To quote Lucas himself in response to the haters: "They're movies for twelve year olds."
I'm someone that saw the first Star Wars movie in the theater in '77 at age 13 and my thought always was that since The Jedi were taking Anakin at an older than usual age and he was worried about his mom, why the heck didn't someone take the time to buy Shmi (his mom) out of slavery and set her up somewhere. I know that she ends up being the whole connection to the Skywalkers and all, but it might have saved the galaxy a lot of trouble.
Do you mean "the whole connection to the Lars Family" maybe?
Yes, Anakin’s birth was entirely a product of the Force. Immaculate conception. Anakin is essentially Star Wars Jesus, in a roundabout way. Jesus if he was corruptible, if he had the wrong guidance as a child. To keep it biblical, think of if Jesus had no earthly father, and at a young age was adopted by Pharisees. Taught only a rigid one sided view of things. Not allowed to love. Then you get a cosmically significant and powerful being who becomes unhinged when tempted or hurt.
lol his reaction to jar jar
“guys guys..”
This is why you don't machete order, he's confused in every single movie. Lmao
Virgin births happened all throughout ancient mythology, and George Lucas was building off of that motif.
As a side note, when a body vanishes, such as with Jesus or Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Yoda, in the ancient world, it meant that that person had been deified. The term generally associated with this phenomenon in ancient mythology is *apotheosis* which can be defined as evolution to the status of a god.
“Willow” also played one of the Ewoks when he was a kid. He also appears in the latest trilogy.
Anakins dad is.... immaculate conception by the force. Lore wise the force is semi-sentient and has a will. Even though its not a being, its just a thing that is everywhere.
Best not to question it, because it leads to more confusing question like why would the force get her pregnant with a child who had some issues? One that was suppose to bring balance to the force. Granted Anakin indeed balanced it by wiping Jedi out so there were not many left, thus semi-living the playing field. Is the force evil then?!? This was one of the many issues these prequels started to have lore wise.
Now.... picture the force creating magic baby juice and inserting into Anakins mom while she sleeps. Your welcome for the image. lol. I mean I know it was probably some "Force created a sperm in one of the mothers egg" kinda things I imagine, just is creepier my way.
It was heavily implied in Ep 3 that Palpatine helped create Anakin using the force.
Huh? Anakins birth was the force's punitive response to Plagueis's attempt to influence midichlorians using the dark side. Plagueis desperately wanted to force the midicholrians to create the ultimate Sith warrior. The force responded by birthing a child destined to destroy the Sith. Thus, the force created Anakin.
Many of the weird things in Star Wars is George Lucas over thinking things. He is retroactively telling the complete story of Luke Skywalker's dad. In interviews, he said he came up with the no father thing because he didn't want a thousand fans asking him, well, what was the story of Anakin's father?
Anakin didn't have issues. He was worried about his mom. The Jedi failed him because they were too rigid. Had they let him visit with her maybe nothing bad would have happened. Anakin was right most of the time. But he was forced by his elders to ignore his own feelings. He was better than them. Even though it seemed like it was arrogant when he said that, it was true.
There is a conspiracy theory that Jar Jar is a dark sith in hiding. There are even that look like he is using the force. The idea was he was behind the scenes manipulating things. But when the backlash at people hating Jar Jar who up to this point was really hated pushed Lucas to change the character. He is however an itegral part of the story. He was the deciding vote in the senate giving Palpatine emergency powers.
Please ignore everyone saying, "Jar Jar is a Sith Lord."
It was just a theory brought forth a while back and everyone thinks it's objectively true now, which it is *not*. It is an interesting theory, though.
It is willow😂 he is also Wicket from return of the jedi
Concerning Jar Jar ...yeah. He is a very popular character among children, and a very unpopular character among adults. He had little to do with they story but was given a lot of screen time. George Lucas made a crap-load of money from merchandising after Return of the Jedi, especially Children's toys. So, if he could make Phantom Menace appealing to children (like the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi) he could get a lot of money from the production of toys. There is a lot going on here that has more to do with demographics than the story. I have heard a theory that Jar Jar Binks in a Sith lord, however, lol.
The purpose of this movie, with respect to the story, is showing how all the main characters got to where they were. It provides background for the Jedi, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme, and Palpatine. Honestly, I think that the concept that Anakin was conceived by the medicloriens is more of a Sci-Fi idea than a Jesus impersonation. Further proof is that there is lore that Darth Plagus made that happen (there is a lot of Star Wars lore lore that was removed from canon with the Disney takeover). It also showed some of the background for The Hutts, which you seemed confused about after Return of the Jedi.
This does remind me of a Robot Chicken episode that always makes me laugh:
"Darth Vader: 'I am your Father!'
Luke: 'That's impossible!'
Darth Vader: 'And Leia is you sister!'
Luke: 'That's improbable?'
Darth Vader: 'And I built C3PO!"
Luke: 'That's very unlikely.' "
In universe explanation the original movies took place in the lesser civilized areas of the Galaxy, the boonies, the sticks.
while these prequel movies take place on some of the more civilized galactic core worlds.
As a completionist I hope you watch EXORCIST 2 THE HERETIC. I actually enjoy it more than the 1st movie and never understood the hate towards it. Concerning PHANTOM MENACE, you had about 10 questions you asked during ATTACK OF THE CLONES and 5 questions during SITH which were answered by watching PHANTOM first. I cringed at every question. Anyway, glad you finally did see them all.
I believe jar jar was meant to be a sith in the original imagination of the character, using the persona of a less intelligent fool to infiltrate and corrupt, he is always unbelievably lucky, or does he use force powers, his style being similar to drunken fist Kung Fu, this makes him very unpredictable, shame George didn't run with this, would have completely changed the way we viewed jar jar retrospectively. love these episodes
It should have been jar jar instead of snoke and it would have been way way better in my opinion and just run him for the last trilogy
She was absolutely not trying to say Anakin was immaculately conceived.
Remember when Jar Jar was in "big doo doo" and said both "exqueeze me" and "how wude," which were Michelle's catchphrases from Full House, and then that anteater thing farted in his face? Good stuff.
anakin was conceived through the power of the force lmao, actually jesus
there it is! i've been suffering while you call the Jedi and Sith the same... (there are clear differences as well) you got around their common failures: hubris. they both believe themselves to be superior and want the other eliminated. they each have their own fatal blind spots, and can act on their own ideals without understanding the full consequences.
The galaxy saw sith and Jedi as the same Thing also
People blame the Jedi since they thought Dooku was a jedi
nobody understands why jarjar exists. however the explanation of medeclorians, the look at a pre empire that fleshs out the overall world, and the maul fight is one of the coolest light saber fights. but you have to understand Starwars and its fans are in an abusive relationship, and we tend to ignore the bad for the small glimpse of good. that maul fight tho.
As someone who always thought Eps 4-6 were much better than 1-3 I've still always felt that the flak Lucas copped over them was way too harsh. I have no problem with people saying 1-3 are shite compared to 4-6 but I think everyone forgets one thing. They suck WHEN compared to 4-6 (in my opinion)but when comparing them to OTHER movies they are still fantastic films. Great stories, cool scenes, so much to enjoy. Solo and Last Jedi are my least favourite films by far but I still like them when comparing them to films in general, but they suck when compared to other Star Wars films.
It's like the last season of GOT. It's horrible compared to every other season of GOT but it's still so much better to watch then Wheel Of Time or Legend Of The Seeker.
Glad the Kill Jar-Jar Thing is still alive after two decades!
The first thing George Lucas said after watching the film for the first time was, "I may have gone a little far in some places".
in the words of Mel Brooks: "Merchandising! Merchandising!"
"What happened in the shift of quality"
I know you've gotten a lot of comments but it's the order you watched this is.
4,5,6 came out in the 80's
1,2,3 came out '99-early 2000's
And you watched it 4,5,2,3,6,1
So yeah, lotta back and forth😅😅😅
I also somewhat agree where the story line might not be the most enticing but I think the most importing thing is the meeting of anikin. Seeing his pureness. His meeting Obi-Wan and padme.
The novelizations address Anakin’s birth and it pretty much is immaculate conception
Qui-Gon knows that the Gungan gods demand Jar Jars life-debt to the jedi because it was explained earlier by Jar Jar.
JJ:Meesa your humble servant.
QG: That won't be necessary
JJ: 'Tis demanded by the gods it is
Jedi are Buddhist monks in space with swords. They can't have attachments because they are supposed to be monastics. I don't understand what's so hard to get.
The Sith and the Jedi are very different. Biggest difference is that the Sith seek power before all else. That's part of the reason they fell. Infighting.
I’m sure it’s been said but 400 comments later, it was immaculate conception.
I guess the most important thing is Qui-Gon and his relationship with Anakin, how his death influenced the whole story, how differently it could have been if the fatherly Qui-Gon were to have trained Anakin. Instead, we got an unprepared and unwanting Obi-Wan for the job
Don't get me wrong, Obi-Wan is my favorite Jedi, but he was like a brother and Anakin needed a father, so it turned out to be Palpatine filling the role.
@@msoundg Qui-Gon was less rigid than 99% of the other jedi. He would have likely been able to teach someone like Akakin to control himself better than anyone else.
The more i see people cringe at Jar Jar, the more I love him😂
I think that Rogue One might end up being your favorite single film of the franchise...
Jar jar is only in the movie because george lucas had young grandkids at the time and he wanted them to like it. Very unfortunate, but it is what it is.
They are not Primitive, they just don't speak the common language as well as the others. I find it interesting that you decided that the Gungans are not very intelligent based purely on their lack of ability to speak the same language as the Jedi. The same way foreigners are put down when they don't speak English.
You might want to try the Obi-Wan series before Rogue One. It's only a few episode long, so nothing like GoT, but it does come well before Rogue One in the timeline, and it adds far more to the overall story than Rogue One does.
Yes, Anakin is space Jesus and most people hate it. There's a theory that Palpatine created Anakin using the force trying to perfect his master's teachings but it's unconfirmed.
Mythology is filled with heroes who were born from virgin births, not just Christianity. it's a common mythological motif and myth is primarily what George Lucas was interested in when he created these movies.
@@oneironaut420 Yeah, Jesus is only an archetype.
It has been confirmed that this IS NOT the case
@@oneironaut420 okay but space Horus wouldn't be as easily recognizable in normal conversation
@@DC3328 Not in the western world perhaps!
The reason Qui Gon knew that Jar Jar owed him a 'life-debt' commanded by the gods was because Jar Jar came right out and told him after they met. Granted, I understand the temptation to completely tune him out is strong. As a character, he was scripted to be the big draw for children to whom could be sold copious amounts of Jar Jar merchandise. I'm sure it comes as no surprise that was a massive failure.
It should be noted that Palpatine is from Naboo.
when qui gon said the stuff about th elife debt. when he saved jar jar he told him right there and then that he aved his life and owes him a life debt.
And it is a known thing. Chewbacca spent his life paying Han for a life debt.
"Exsqueeze me? This thing is not gonna be on the screen too much longer right?"... Echoing the thoughts of all the Star Wars Fandom🤣😂😛😉
nope as a 24 year old who saw the movie when I was young never, had a prolem with jar-jar and still do not. that is other peoples issue not mine.
I am very happy that you dropped the outros and intros
George Lucas put Jar Jar into the movie to try and appeal to the children watching the film.
3:44 "Open war is apon you, whether you would risk it or not."
All 3 seconds of Jar Jar and you loved him as much as the rest of us... Let's just say that there is a reason why he is barely seen in movies 2 and 3. I guess he was supposed to be some type of a comedic relief character, but even that kind of failed.
Anakin was born of the force. He was a child of prophesy.
The kid version of Darth Vader is introduced, some Jedi dies, Obi Wan promises to train young Darth and…politics… Yep, that about sums up this movie.
Thank you for watching! ❤
"Droidekas."
And those guys are definitely going home today, because they're killed by Darth Vader on "Lethal Lava Land," in Episode III...
The thing that bugged me most personally about you doing the machete order is that you kept asking questions during episode 2 and 3 that you wouldn't have had if you had watched this one first
How the hell do you know about the chancellor before he's even appeared? Oh right, you're the one watching the movies in the completely wrong order and then act surprised when you don't understand.
0:58 Many things. Also, they've been running around their galaxy for 25,000 years.
Your reactions to Jar Jar were hilarious!
Two points on Jar Jar Binks. Besides being comic relief, he's the one who is manipulated into making the official proposal to create
the Grand Army of the Republic in Episode 2 as Padme's Representative while she's in hiding on Naboo with Anakin.
Also there's a theory out there that Jar Jar was originally intended to be Palpatine's master as a kind of mirror to Yoda in episodes 5 & 6 but that Licas changed the plan due to the negative fan reaction to the character. It suggests that he presents himself as an imbecile to keep his true identity a secret. It also speculates that he uses something similar to Drunken Boxing in fights to take out enemies while still maintaining an inept appearance. Maybe look for a Darth Jar Jar theory video to react to.
Jar jar plays a role by giving the emperor more power in the next two moves by unknowingly giving him the support he needed to take over. Also this movie determined Anakin’s fate. Anakin needed a father not a brother aka obi-wan.
Droideka/droidekas.
Anakin's mother never had sex before conceiving him. The Force caused her body to generate the child. (Mind you, the Force isn't God; therefore, Anakin was never a "Jesus.")
Jar Jar Binks is in the film for A) the kids watching the movie, & B) comic relief. Detractors criticized the pod race for only existing to sell Star Wars video games...missing the point. The point was made repeatedly in the original trilogy what a great pilot Anakin was! The race demonstrates the skill is innate, not learned.
The Sand People shooting at the pod racers is akin to Native Americans ambushing settlers trespassing on *their* land! The pod race is on Sand People land,, without their consent!
The Chancellor is not manipulating anything in this film -- Senator Palpatine is!!!
Anakin really is too old to be trained. Padawans form their first emotionall bonds with the Jedi who raise & train them. They were *found as infants!!!* Therefore, no attachment to their biological parents or family! A Jedi's "family" are the Jedi.
Please stop calling alien people "beings"!!! If a lifeform has language, culture, customs, tools & makes their own tools, builds shelters, etc, THAT IS A PERSON!!! That person can look like an insect, a crustacean, a fish, a wolf, a whale, or any other species on Earth, but if they fit the criteria, THEY ARE PEOPLE!
By the way, Jar Jar is an atypical member of his species. He's a comedic idiot, clumsy, impulsive.
As a Trekkie, is Cdr Worf & the Klingons "beings" 👎🏻 or people 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
I'm an honorary Klingon, by the way. Have you heard of Star Trek fan clubs & conventions? I was a member of a Klingon fan club called KAG, for Klingon Assault Group, for a year or so.
If you went to such a convention, would you go as yourself or as a character? If so, a specific character (like Worf or Benjamin Sisko), or merely as a member of Starfleet? Which era uniform would you reproduce?
No Jar Jar was never meant to be a sith. That's just a meme.
In terms of the few things "needed" from Episode 1, for new time Star Wars viewers, its helpful to know where Anakin came from, its helpful to see Palpatine setting up his chess-board from the very beginning there, its helpful to see Anakin and Padme meeting for sure (though personally if I were to make this movie, Anakin would have been older, make the relationship that much more believable). I guess in a way its nice to see that Obi-wan had a Master of his own at this time but it doesn't really add much. It introduces you to this concept of "midichlorians", something that I still hate the idea of but oh well. And no, Jar-Jar Binks is not necessary. His character is really the comic relief, and a way to give Queen Amidala an army on the outside of the city, but that could have been handled in a much different way had the story not involve the Gungans or Jar-Jar at all.
I agree that there's not much to take away from this movie, and that usually people who know the story can definitely skip it on re-watches, the "machete" order. But for new viewers, unless someone specifically tells you the few key points like the few I mentioned above, many people would go from Episode 5 into Episode 2 very confused.
"many people would go from Episode 5 into Episode 2 very confused." much like MrBoyd himself was you mean?
When palpatine tells anakin the story of darth plagueis (palpatine's master) he mentiones that plagueis figured out a way to "create life" using the force, and that palpatine learned everything from him before killing him in his sleep. So its kind of implied, although not confirmed, that palpatine created anakin. And yes he was born of a virgin.
Palpatine never created Anakin. Awakin was created by the Force as a result of Palagues and Palpatines bringing the Force.out of Balance.
Palpatine to Anakin:
"Darth Plagueis... was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians... to create... life."
And all we know about Anakin's conception is that he was created by midi-chlorians. Why, exactly, is never confirmed. You can interpret that however you like.
@Olivian Popescu in the Palagues novel Anakin was a response to Palagues trying to manipulate the midi chlorians. I know that is no longer cannon. If I spend some time I can find something from Lucas.
@Efstathio Kapetsonis That actually makes sense, he tried to manipulate the midichlorians but instead the force gave him a big middle finger. I haven't read any of the novels but I should have assumed the palpatine is always lying 😅
@Olivian Popescu the only thing Palpatine could manipulate was Anakin!
for the record, jaa jaa is also in the movie to apeal to kids. Keep in mind this was marketed for kids 10+ years of age.
