Lol maybe Padme and Anakin were keeping up the ruse that they were common travelers who would not be able to afford the luxury of bags with repulsor lifts? I'm sure Syril carries his own bags because that extra bit of torture "builds character" 😂
26:09 before AotC was released, Lucasfilm had a viral website, Holonet News, giving in universe updates on the state of the galaxy. One of the news stories was about a recall of faulty thrusters on the R2 series droids.
@Jorizzle22 It makes Anakin and Padme's romance seem a lot more realistic. It includes several scenes where they go and visit Padme's family on Naboo and her sister helps her work though her feelings for Anakin.
Possible in-universe luggage answers: Wheels are a no-go, especially for Anakin on Naboo because of all the stairs going up and down. As for repulsors, maybe too many in close proximity - like a spaceport - would cause disruption with one another. That would make sense for both Anakin and Syril.
Ha! I like the explanation that the luggage repulsors would disrupt each other so they don't have it. Switch to turn the repulsors on and off wouldn't be allowed because people would just forget to turn them off.
if it wasn’t for the traditional terran luggage, we would never have gotten that Robot Chicken bit about the Emperor losing his luggage en route to the Death Star 2% 😅
Indiscriminately and without remorse it sounds. During live streams they consistently thank the team of mods clearing out spam and hate, so with great help as well.
One question I've had for ages - partly because of how inconsistent expanded media is about it - is: How many Clone Troopers were there per 'unit' (given how a Clone Army for a galaxy scale conflict would apparently be smaller than some modern day real armies if units meant individual Clone Troopers)?
A unit could mean a battalion which was 576 clones which means in the beginning of the war, there were 691,200,000 soldiers in the GAR. This number would have increased a lot since the Senate passed a bill demanding five million additional units. Personally, I believe the number had to be in the hundreds of millions in order to wage war across the galaxy.
The Clones were an elite force meant to supplement local forces and the ranks of the Judicials. I don't particularly like this answer, but it's the one that's given. Now, if "unit" referred to a squad, then I'd be more inclined to believe it.
I grew up mishearing Jawa Juice as Java Juice, so I always thought Obi-Wan was starting his day with a coffee-like substance. The truth of Jawa Juice isn't helping Obi beat the alcoholic allegations.
So the worms would make it look like a heart attack to a murder investigation, but no one would notice maybe the worms are still in the room or at the very least, there’s a hole in the window lol
Its an old adventure serial trope of attempted assassination via snake. Remember if something feels like a really goofy old trope from 50s pulp, it probably is because Star Wars is supposed to be seen as something released the same year as Flash Gordon.
4:55 That makes sense, now. 19:34 I liked Dave and his cartoons before that behind the scenes discussion. After hearing that, he really moved up in my mind. I think he fully understands what Star Wars is about.
Honestly I think Jango would learn about order 66 himself. I don’t see Sidious or Tyranus telling him the plan because it getting leaked would be too risky, but once Jango settled on Kamino and had Boba he probably became more involved in the affairs of the clones than Dooku expected. The sith definitely got lucky that jango died, if he lived he would definitely be a liability.
Free headcanon I just came up with, the Clones themselves create a mystical effect on Jango where he's suddenly got an odd mental foresight regarding how the clones think and what they know, Boba included. The Clone Troopers themselves just presume its part of their artificial creation, but its actually part of the Sith life manipulation experiments, creating an untold number of the same instance of a single person within the Force. Because isn't that just so Sith to do? Its like increasing an individual person's midichlorian count to Jedi levels... From a certain point of view.
With the luggage thing, I like to think that the heat repulsor tech puts off could damage clothing. So carrying the bags by hand would be beneficial, especially for someone like Padmé
I woudnt be surprised if Mace Windu actually found Jedi inspiration from Vernestra Rwoh...the lightsaber, the bald head, etc. R2D2 also seem to have a collapsible feature, that help him fit into jedi Starfighters (ep 3).
8:46 And in Legends, Jedi Master Phanius was a member of the Lost Twenty who went on to become Darth Ruin and start the New Sith Wars... also as Vader, Anakin viewed himself as the lost "twenty-first".
There's still a question I always had that needs to be answered...why did the Jedi trust the clone army when the very man who helped make the clones was the same guy who was working for the sith and tried to kill Padme?
I don't think Jango's plan was all that complicated. He probably subcontracted the hit out to someone he thought was competent and/or trustworthy and left the method of the assassination up to them. That just leaves him with the decision of who.
@@Compucles His motivations don't matter. As a matter of fact, I don't even know if or how much pride any of them take in their work. I'm sure some do, but like anything, I wouldn't be surprised if some do it out of necessity or b/c they're good at it, but I wouldn't say they must all take pride in it. The question is if the plan was convoluted. All Jango had to do was decide on whether he would subcontract or not and we see from the movie that he did. Everything else is just speculation, but the simple act of subcontracting isn't really convoluted at all.
@@Compucles How? That’s, once again, just your assumption. What we literally see is Jango having someone else do it. We don’t see him having to pore over files of potential candidates or how much of the cut they would get or contingency plans or whatever. What are /actually/ see is him simply turning the hit job over to another person. You seem to engage in a lot of speculation and head cannoning or wishcasting. And that’s fine and all, but in this case that’s not what we see.
@@Vulcanerd Subcontracting anything you can just as easily do yourself is naturally convoluted. There may still be a legitimate reason for it like in this case, but that doesn't change how awkward it is. Besides, even if we were getting into the details, the whole situation matters in analyzing it, not just what we see on screen. Some things have to be assumed.
To answer the final question: It's poor people luggage. Anakin and Padme left Coruscant under false identities with disguises to better hide Padme, so she can't use any fancy floating containers or they'd blow her cover. Other times we see luggage being carried, it's being carried by people in disguise, poor people, or on poor planets.
Maybe it could be that hovering containers (Grogu's pram, etc) are more expensive, and that conventional hand carried luggage is just more affordable to the average galactic citizen
Love this series! My question with this movie always is: Why does Dooku spoil the whole game to Obi Wan (when Obi Wan is captured), and why does Obi Wan not follow up on that claim (that a Sith is running the whole Republic)? Is it just rule of two backstabbing shenanigans? Is Dooku just hoping to overthrow Sidious?
I thought Darth Ruin was the first of the Lost 20, that kick started the New Sith Wars, just before the Republic reestablished itself after the 1,000 year conflict into the high Republic era?
Yeah I’m sure he was the first as well. That would that a further 18 Jedi masters departed from the Order over the course of 2,000 years between himself and Dooku.
Damn you're answering questions I didn't know could be asked! Hey would it be possible to put an indication of each answer's canon level (move canon, TV canon, modern video game canon, book canon, comic canon, legends, lego, OG clone wars, etc.)? Super interesting and well-done video as always!
The Luggage thing is probably because they were supposed to travel discreetly as to not attract attention. People with repulsor lifts on their luggage tend to raise suspicion that they are wealthy and get the luggage stolen as the repulsor can be used for more important stuff.
They only brought one lighstaber because they had no idea Anakin and Padme wear on the planet. Its just luck that Nicanas Tassu and Sephjet Josall had a second spare saber to give regardless of where it came from.
Did Ahck Med Beq and Kelleran Beq know they were related? You know, since younglings are taken from their families when they're very young and generally don't know their families.
With regards to luggage, I’ve heard that the development of technology in Star Wars was kinda sideways and didn’t follow our path, e.g. getting to space travel before very advanced computers. Maybe this is one of them, they got to things like hovering cradles before wheeled luggage
I always had a question. Mace Windu asks Obi Wan if he thinks the Kaminoans were behind the assassination attempts on Padme. Obi Wan said " No master, there appears to be no motive ." However they would've had plenty of motivation to kill her as she was trying to stop the military creation act. It was a strange thing for a mystery solving Jedi to say
Bullshitting salesman tactic Say what the buyer wants to hear regardless of the truth Or to be hyper technical and selective of dialogue (which is why we are all here) since they made clones of themselves to expand to other planets, they COULD be referencing that they themselves were an army of clones (one could also easily assume they cloned a defense force to protect themselves from rivals/native creatures on other planets)… but these Fett boys are the real deal and the best we have *slaps the clone tank on the hood* 😂 We’ll have our true answer in 20 years when we get “From a Certain Point of View: Attack of the Clones” :P
If I remember correctly, most of the Clone Wars Jedi died on Geonosis because of the highly chaotic nature of the free for all. There were thousands of battle droids firing at the Jedi from all conceivable directions. Jedi were not used to this type of engagement and were not trained properly for it. I think form 6 was the most common form used in the era and it is a general-purpose form but unless mastered for combat it left users poorly equipped for so many Blaster wielders. The ones that survived though learned that they needed to retool their training to specialize against blaster wielders which is one reason why after Geonosis, it became hard to kill more Jedi.
Since most of us saw Tales of the Jedi, a better question would have been where was Yarael Poof? Also wished you mentioned what the legends versions of many answers were, even if we have canon answers.
@@joncarroll2040 If only Yaddle had lent him her speeder. He could have returned in time, he could have been the one to behead Dooku in the box instead of Trebor and been part of the reason the sith lost the Clone Wars. Coruscant buses really do suck.
Anakin and Padme were undercover refugees and Syril was essentially broke at that point so makes sense for them to carry low-end equipment. Also explains why jedi aren't seen with suitcases upon most of their missions. Or Thrawn's cargo in Ahsoka.
Once again: how Padme (when she has fallen on the sand of Geonosis) knew there was a warehouse not far away? The one where Dooku has a duel with Anakin.
The real question, why are there 2 spaces between THE and CLONES in the title of this video (either it did change, or mobile is just bugged to look like it has 2 spaces)
Why does Obi-Wan pass in-and-out of consciousness, refusing to even try to move out of the way during the Anakin-Dooku duel? I mean, they're pretty much flesh wounds. Painful as they may be, he should have been able to drag his butt out of the way so that Dooku couldn't have tried dropping that column on him, forcing Yoda to save his bacon.
5:08 I imagine if Padmé had been assassinated they also could've linked said assassination back to the Separatists, using her opposition to the military creation act to further portray the Separatists as ruthless and bloodthirsty, much like how Mina Bonteri's support for a Republic/Separatist peace treaty incentivised Dooku to have her killed and blame her death on the republic
As far as r2’s rocket boosters go, I always figured the rebel alliance took them out and used them for something else given they were so strapped for parts all the time.
Is Anakin's skeletal hand a temporary replacement? Is he waiting for the fully custom one to be tailor-made for him? How long until he gets the more fully formed version we see in The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith?
Luagge question I think the answer boils down to one thing: Money they want to make as much money as possible while keeping costs low so adding repulser tech would eat into there profits
Why are the Jedi so quick to trust the clone army when the blueprint, Jango Fett, was working with the CIS/Sith/Geonosians? Was there any vetting process before/after the battle?
given how many jedi died, they likely felt they had no choice but to keep the clone army since they couldn't keep peace on their own after loosing so many
The Kaminoans said Sifo-Dyas commissioned the army for the Republic. Since he declared visions of war, they likely rationalized it as just "Thank goodness Sifo-Dyas made it anyway". Even if the template allied with the CIS, all it would mean was he was a mercenary doing mercenary business. Keep in mind, Tyrannus wasn't ever declared as a Lord. So there was no reason to think the Sith commissioned it.
Carrying luggage just kinda adds to the lived in sci fi fantasy feel of star wars. Like why do they still use primitive materials like wood and cloth here and there
For any questions for the clone wars. Just remember Sidous planned for basically everything and had back up plans and back up plans that would have made Batman grunt “hmm good.”
well for the suitcase... somethint with repulsors is more prone to being stealed by a pickpocket coming through with a luggages having a handle, the hand can grasp it when tried to be stolen by a pickpocket repulsorlift technology is maybe more expensive, so not worth the risk to be pickpocketed anf finally, they were undercover in public transports, so i think my previous points make sense
What I want to know is how many extras did they get when it came to Geonosis. The script and a crew member said 200 Jedi, Samual L Jackson said 100 but did they really have that many for the background and other parts? Trying to count every single one including those in the deleted Ki Adi Mundi scene is almost impossible.
I'd argue that the experiments for a Force Sensitive vessel did work, hence Snoke. However, Snoke was not as strong as Palpatine so the body could contain his essence but not Palpatine's.
The years vs. generations thing is just a retcon excuse because Lucas either forgot what he'd written in ANH, didn't care about continuity, or didn't know the difference, much like he didn't know that a parsec isn't a measurement of time. My guess is that it was all of the above, because he's been known to not care at all about continuity just so long as the film's made on time and on budget. He's also not the best writer, to say the least.
The biggest question I have is how are there not enough votes in the Senate to pass the military creation act straight up but there are enough votes to give Palpatine emergency powers? It would only make sense if he were publicly against the deployment of the Clones but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Why are you answering questions about Star Wars, did you make the movie or were you on the production crew. I doubt it so leave it to the real experts. I'm just messing with you, your answers are as good as any.
I always thought this was the plan for the assassination: get Jedi to discover Kamino. Why would Jango Fett use a dart that links directly to where Palpatine wants them to go if it weren't intentional? Having multiple bounty hunters would make it seem like it goes deep and requires investigation, and the parasites would make it seem like the threat is more calculative and and requires attention.
@Compucles yeah but I imagine he'd have a blaster on him at all times. To me, it seems like a way to get them to view this more urgently and insure they would end up at the right planet.
@@tri-sapien6487 The shot needed to take her out immediately while getting it past two Jedi. The dart was a more reliable option for that than a blaster.
@@Compucles would a blaster bolt not do that? I'm pretty sure the dart wasn't ballistic, it would be traveling just as fast if not slower than a blaster bolt. Even with the sound a blaster would make, I don't they would have time to react for something they didn't prepare for.
@@tri-sapien6487 Not if his aim is slightly off to where it's not an instant kill. The dart was an instant kill (or close enough to immediately keep her from talking further) as long as he hit her somewhere with it.
So in canon AND legends, Mace's purple blade is nothing to do with him balancing both the light and dark sides of the Force? I wonder where that idea came from, I've met so many people who believe that's the reason and defend the idea vehemently.
My guess was it was someone's interpretation, and it got spread like gospel. It's a very cool idea, so I can see why that became the idea people stuck with.
Does anyone know what Dooku's endgame was in trying to recruit Obi-Wan? It seems like it would only complicate and possibly jeopardize the plan, especially because he tells him about the Sith controlling the Senate.

Once again: how Padme (when she has fallen on the sand of Geonosis) knew there was a warehouse not far away? The one where Dooku has a duel with Anakin.
"At last, the work of generations is complete. The great error is corrected. The day of victory is at hand. The day of revenge. The day of the Sith."
The real question, why are there 2 spaces between THE and CLONES in the title of this video (either it did change, or mobile is just bugged to look like it has 2 spaces)
Well done...aotc certainly gives a lot of convoluted details to iron out lol
Why does Obi-Wan pass in-and-out of consciousness, refusing to even try to move out of the way during the Anakin-Dooku duel? I mean, they're pretty much flesh wounds. Painful as they may be, he should have been able to drag his butt out of the way so that Dooku couldn't have tried dropping that column on him, forcing Yoda to save his bacon.
May the force be with you
About the elipsis in Return of the Jedi, funnily enough, in the 2006 DVDs, the translated crawl to Portuguese has 4 dots.
You forgot to mention that Watto was the best man at Shmi’s wedding 😂
5:08 I imagine if Padmé had been assassinated they also could've linked said assassination back to the Separatists, using her opposition to the military creation act to further portray the Separatists as ruthless and bloodthirsty, much like how Mina Bonteri's support for a Republic/Separatist peace treaty incentivised Dooku to have her killed and blame her death on the republic
All I ask- if you're going to do FAQs for R1 and Solo, don't forget the clone wars movie lol
As far as r2’s rocket boosters go, I always figured the rebel alliance took them out and used them for something else given they were so strapped for parts all the time.
Awesome work. Kudos.
Is Anakin's skeletal hand a temporary replacement? Is he waiting for the fully custom one to be tailor-made for him? How long until he gets the more fully formed version we see in The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith?
Luagge question I think the answer boils down to one thing: Money they want to make as much money as possible while keeping costs low so adding repulser tech would eat into there profits
Ahmed Best's Jedi character can also be seen in the victory celebration at the end of the phantom menace 3:28
So if it was actually Sifo-dius who ordered the army for the republic genuinely , when did the emperor ask for the order 66 chips ?
Thanks, Alex! 🧾
It's worth mentioning that the book The Essential Guide to Warfare, like all other Essential Guide books, is Legends and non canonical.
He did mention that it's a Legends book.
Why are the Jedi so quick to trust the clone army when the blueprint, Jango Fett, was working with the CIS/Sith/Geonosians? Was there any vetting process before/after the battle?
given how many jedi died, they likely felt they had no choice but to keep the clone army since they couldn't keep peace on their own after loosing so many
@@RedCaio but how could they have been sure they weren’t just delivering more CIS soldiers to the arena when Yoda showed up?
The Kaminoans said Sifo-Dyas commissioned the army for the Republic. Since he declared visions of war, they likely rationalized it as just "Thank goodness Sifo-Dyas made it anyway". Even if the template allied with the CIS, all it would mean was he was a mercenary doing mercenary business. Keep in mind, Tyrannus wasn't ever declared as a Lord. So there was no reason to think the Sith commissioned it.
Carrying luggage just kinda adds to the lived in sci fi fantasy feel of star wars. Like why do they still use primitive materials like wood and cloth here and there
For any questions for the clone wars. Just remember Sidous planned for basically everything and had back up plans and back up plans that would have made Batman grunt “hmm good.”
They really should have answered those holo-calls trying to reach them about their R2 unit's extended warranty
well for the suitcase... somethint with repulsors is more prone to being stealed by a pickpocket coming through
with a luggages having a handle, the hand can grasp it when tried to be stolen by a pickpocket
repulsorlift technology is maybe more expensive, so not worth the risk to be pickpocketed
anf finally, they were undercover in public transports, so i think my previous points make sense
What I want to know is how many extras did they get when it came to Geonosis. The script and a crew member said 200 Jedi, Samual L Jackson said 100 but did they really have that many for the background and other parts? Trying to count every single one including those in the deleted Ki Adi Mundi scene is almost impossible.
Makes me feel nostalgic...
Anakin and Padme were supposed to be inconspicuous while traveling so perhaps that's why they had hand carried bags.
I'd argue that the experiments for a Force Sensitive vessel did work, hence Snoke. However, Snoke was not as strong as Palpatine so the body could contain his essence but not Palpatine's.
The years vs. generations thing is just a retcon excuse because Lucas either forgot what he'd written in ANH, didn't care about continuity, or didn't know the difference, much like he didn't know that a parsec isn't a measurement of time. My guess is that it was all of the above, because he's been known to not care at all about continuity just so long as the film's made on time and on budget. He's also not the best writer, to say the least.
9:10 guess Vader got ahead of himself claiming he was the 21st at the end of Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader
when were Anakin and Obiwan's new hope lightsabers first used?
Are you going to do a bounty hunter play through with the re-release coming out in a few days?
The biggest question I have is how are there not enough votes in the Senate to pass the military creation act straight up but there are enough votes to give Palpatine emergency powers? It would only make sense if he were publicly against the deployment of the Clones but that doesn't seem to be the case.
First thing many see it can cause war. The second - we are at war and we need to dowith it anything
Well done.
This was great
How come nobody has said that they truly, deeply love me?
Why are you answering questions about Star Wars, did you make the movie or were you on the production crew. I doubt it so leave it to the real experts. I'm just messing with you, your answers are as good as any.
Here's my biggest question for this movie. Is it better than The Phantom Menace?
at least we know one thing for sure: sand is course and rough and gets everywhere
Was the Revenge of the Sith deleted scene with Mon Mothma and Padme discussing matters about politics cannon?
The creepy drug dealer is named "Elon" lol
I always thought this was the plan for the assassination: get Jedi to discover Kamino. Why would Jango Fett use a dart that links directly to where Palpatine wants them to go if it weren't intentional? Having multiple bounty hunters would make it seem like it goes deep and requires investigation, and the parasites would make it seem like the threat is more calculative and and requires attention.
The dart was still really obscure, and he had limited options for taking out Wessell before she could talk.
@Compucles yeah but I imagine he'd have a blaster on him at all times. To me, it seems like a way to get them to view this more urgently and insure they would end up at the right planet.
@@tri-sapien6487 The shot needed to take her out immediately while getting it past two Jedi. The dart was a more reliable option for that than a blaster.
@@Compucles would a blaster bolt not do that? I'm pretty sure the dart wasn't ballistic, it would be traveling just as fast if not slower than a blaster bolt. Even with the sound a blaster would make, I don't they would have time to react for something they didn't prepare for.
@@tri-sapien6487 Not if his aim is slightly off to where it's not an instant kill. The dart was an instant kill (or close enough to immediately keep her from talking further) as long as he hit her somewhere with it.
Find it ironic lot of the planets have tech for droids water evaos speeders but live so old schools on lot of the planets
So in canon AND legends, Mace's purple blade is nothing to do with him balancing both the light and dark sides of the Force? I wonder where that idea came from, I've met so many people who believe that's the reason and defend the idea vehemently.
My guess was it was someone's interpretation, and it got spread like gospel. It's a very cool idea, so I can see why that became the idea people stuck with.
Does anyone know what Dooku's endgame was in trying to recruit Obi-Wan? It seems like it would only complicate and possibly jeopardize the plan, especially because he tells him about the Sith controlling the Senate.
