Palpatine is a bad guy right? No, just the Supreme Chancellor with emergency powers inspecting the new grand army of the Republic, nothing to see here...
"I wanted him to woo her more, instead of just complain to her" - haha that pretty much sums up Anakin's character in the movies. Thankfully he got much more fleshed out in the Clone Wars series.
@@carrotcakeisbombasf103 He was great in Shattered Glass. Sure, he whined a bit in that too, but it was necessary to be true to the (factual) character. He's not a bad actor. Visually expressive, good at conveying emotion. It's not his fault Lucas wrote poor dialogue, settled for very few takes, and was a 50 year-old man trying to have a 20-something act out a junior high romance.
lol it's the same with blade runner - just because something is artificially created doesn't mean they aren't still a sentient life form of flesh and bone
@@faisalmemon285 Is that really the ONLY way she could have known? It couldn't be that he just already both looks and sounds like the emperor leaving that "reveal" to be the most obvious in cinema history. I can't imagine anyone who has watched the OT not seeing that immediately.
Well recognizing him from just the voice as the guy that played Saruman was a flash of brilliance, but not putting in together when she first saw him as the same guy until sometime later kind of negated it.
They should have kept the Darth Jar-Jar plot. At least there'd be a payoff for putting up with him. But I guess then Christopher Lee wouldn't have had a part.
@Maxwell Long At that time, Noone was attuned enough to hear from the Netherworld of the Force, except Yoda, which he didn't even know at the time that he could. Qui-Gon was watching and spoke out. Yoda was the only one who could hear it. Yoda learns later what that was and why he could do it, which is how he is able to carry on after death. For further info, watch the Clone Wars.
@Maxwell Long - Anakin couldn't hear Qui-Gon because he was starting to slip into the dark side of the force (and Qui-Gon was one with the light side of the force) plus Anakin's own anger, fear, aggression, rage, strong negative emotions kept him from hearing also....
@@MLJ7956 Qui-Gon was not completely bright. He was called as a Jedi but he wasn't completely, he was s a Grey Jedi (Regular Jedi but with knowledge and sometimes some controlled use of the Dark Side), so you don't have to be 100% good to commune through the force as a ghost
Actually I think it was supposed to be the guy from Taken... you'd think he can't communicate from beyond the grave as a non-jedi, but he has a particular set of skills.
I'm sorry, but Hayden's delivery of the murder confession after his mom's death has always given me chills. Whatever flaws in his acting, that moment was spot on, and it's still haunting.
I never saw anything was wrong with him. Yeah people expect vader to be this tough guy but even he was just a child at first. The emotional way Hayden is was perfect because Anakin never learned to control his emotions. The Jedi deny their feelings so without someone like Qui-gon to help he never really mature. He was meant to act like an emo.
@@TheReasonableLiberal-hn2rs For me, his portrayal wasn't the issue, it was the transition from Episode 1 to Episode 2 didn't have enough context for me to believe his susceptibility. Even though I already knew he turns into Darth Vader, I thought his descent wasn't done well. But I blame the writing and direction more than anything. Just like I didn't buy the romance between Anakin and Padme. To me there was no chemistry there at all.
I forgot about Anakin saying, “You are asking me to be rational. That is something I cannot do.” 😂😂😂 Run, Padmé, run! You don’t want to end up with someone who is knowingly irrational.
Love the prequels, but I gotta admit that other line near the beginning when Padme sleeps and Anakin said "I think she didn't like me watching her" was just funny.
Yep yep, surprise, Cassie. There are some flashes of brilliance. Three steps forward, one step back though. Granted there is a lot going on in this movie but still. I'm surprised our sweet host didn't recognize him right away after seeing his face because quite a bit earlier she heard the voice and recognized but it was the Saruman actor immediately.
Cassie: "I'm confused." "I don't know what's happening. I don't understand the politics of this." "Are they even hitting each other? No, they're just spinning." "Why am I still so confused though?" "Some of the lines seemed like so cliche and overacted." This is all very validating.
@@pete_lind Lots of the dialogue is cringy, you're right, some of the lines have deeper meaning though, like the iconic sand line, mostly likely it's Anakin's way of telling Padme that he didn't grow up in a Palace on a beautiful paradise planet like her, in the lap of luxury. He was a slave, treated as a slave, even if he was a child, and lived on a harsh and unforgiving planet, every day could be his last, even if he didn't realize it at times, he's very lucky to have escaped, but most slaves aren't nearly as fortunate.
@@lazerfluxxy7370 Yeah, as memeable as it is, the sand line isn't awful in theory, it's just delivered awkwardly, and his kiss is awkward. Even that is somewhat understandable given Anakin's background. (Although I'm not sure Lucas actually intended that). The music is good at least, haha. I love the Across the Stars love theme - it's got a hint of darkness/tragedy in it. I love how it just cuts out when Padme breaks the kiss too.
"How come Jedi can't have love or attachment?" It makes them have alternative motives and act on emotion. You fear for what could happen to your loved ones, and Yoda said "fear is a path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering". See how the love for his mother made Anakin behave?
Of course the no attachment rule hasn’t ever really worked well for the Jedi. Learning to manage attachments rather than banning them outright would have been healthier.
But within the seperatists, there are genuine sub-factions of seperatists who distrust the Republic for reasons that will be proven true, as well as shadow factions of faux-separatists who are planted...
In simple terms yes but once you look more into the Separatists (CIS) you realise that it's a formation of many different families, planets, species and corporations who make up the CIS which is why they have the most unique and diverse looking weapons, ships, vehicles, and droids there isn't one single style as these range from all types of cultures and designers. The Republic on the other hand is far more Formal with each ship and vehicle having the same design styles and artistic all very uniform. The later years of the Clone Wars when the CIS started sending out contracts to create their own ships and vehicles these became much more simpler in deigns. The Rebels are the same all they take as many ships and vehicles as they can from anyone which creates an amazing mess of styles.
@@TheNoiseySpectatorLeia takes more after her father, strong headed, arrogant, willful. While Luke takes after his mother, compassionate, understanding, always seeing the good in people
29:06 “But thats his mission!” Thats actually a really good point. WE know Anakin only cares cause he just boinked Padme but as far as Obi-wan or the jedi should care, protecting her is his primary mission. Even if they know whos trying to kill her now 🤔
Answers to your questions! (spoiler-free): - Padmé is four-and-a-half-ish years older than Anakin. - Death sticks are vials of a hallucinogenic drug called ixetal cilona. - Owen and Beru are Luke’s aunt and uncle; Anakin’s step-brother and step-sister-in-law. - Yep, that’s Christopher Lee, the actor of both Saruman and Dooku. Your Isengard comparison was on-point. :D - The Jedi 10 years ago who commissioned the clone army had a vision through the Force that it would be needed. His name was Master Sifo-Dyas. But how could he do this on his own without the Jedi knowing? Where did he get the money? Did he erase the Kamino file from the Jedi archives? Could this be related to Tyranus, the man who commissioned Jango to be the clone donor? But why would Jango then join Dooku against the clones he helped make? And who is Tyranus? This is confusing because it’s meant to be a mystery. - The reason Dooku would both carry out the bidding of his master, Darth Sidious, while at the same time conspire against him, is in the Sith’s nature. This is why there are only ever two Sith at a time; one to hold power and the other to covet and eventually take it, the Sith thereby getting stronger with each successive generation. In the past, the Jedi were able to defeat the Sith time and again because there were many Sith, and the Sith frequently fought amongst themselves for power as much as their actual enemies, while the Jedi remained united. - The politics of the situation were that the Separatists-planets led by Dooku-view the Republic as corrupt and wish to secede. Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padmé are two Jedi and a senator on the side of the Republic trespassing on a Separatist planet and accused of espionage. Dooku trying to get Obi-Wan to join him was just a last-second bid for more power. - The Jedi are always hard to hit with blasters. They use the Force to anticipate incoming shots and use their lightsabers to deflect or even reflect them back at their shooters. It’s not perfect though, and many Jedi were simply overwhelmed and killed in this battle. - I won’t give spoilers, but Imperial stormtroopers and Republic clone troopers are different people, yes. Their armor is similar for a reason, though. - Yep, the clones all look and sound like Jango. They’re all played by Temuera Morrison, who also re-voiced over Boba in the original trilogy you already watched. You might recognize his voice if you rewatch Empire Strikes Back. - The senators aren’t the bad guys in that last scene. Chancellor Palpatine was even attended by Bail Organa, Leia’s father from the original trilogy. Those were the good guys overlooking their good guy army, the army that will be led by the Jedi against Dooku’s droid army. It was just playing bad guy music and treated as a threatening thing because of what Yoda said. Good guys or bad guys, war has begun, and that’s the last thing the Jedi want. The Jedi are peacekeepers, so them having to lead an army in a war against a former Jedi is why Yoda doesn’t see it as a victory. War itself is of the dark side, no matter who’s fighting in it. - It was a secret wedding. (And yeah, their love story is a bit rushed, you’re not alone in feeling like that.) - TL;DR about who the bad guys are: Nobody knows. The Jedi are just as confused as you are. A former Jedi-Dooku-has started a war against the Republic, but a dead Jedi named Sifo-Dyas commissioned an army for the Jedi to fight that war with, ten years before it started, and the guy who the clones are based on was sided with Dooku. Dooku claims the Republic is being controlled by Darth Sidious, Jango said he was commissioned by a man named Tyranus, the Jedi don’t recognize either of those names, and Sifo-Dyas died shortly after commissioning the army for some reason. It’s all very confusing and mysterious on purpose. Now the Jedi are stuck in a war against their former ally with troops they didn’t ask for, and they don’t know how to feel about that. - There is also one piece of information that you probably should know that would help things all fit together, but you don’t, and your fans aren’t telling you, so I’m just going to let it sit until you discover it for yourself. It’s not hidden, you just have to pay close attention. :) - Also, the next movie will flat-out tell you, and you may be the first person I’ve ever heard of to go into it not knowing this info already, so that reaction is something I will look forward to! - Edit: I forgot that one of the mysteries is revealed in the movie itself. Dooku is Tyranus. Darth Tyranus. Dooku aided Sifo-Dyas in making the clone army, possibly paying for it (he is a count). So, at the bidding of his master, Darth Sidious, Dooku commissioned a clone army based on Jango Fett ten whole years before they would be needed to fight in a war against himself. Dooku started the Clone Wars for the Clone Wars’ own sake, and the Jedi are wholly unaware of this.
Great explanation. I was a Star Wars fan, a kid for the OT, college for Prequels. Enjoyed Phantom Menace, and was trying to figure out a couple of things, but obviously knew plenty going in. Big question was when does he become? 2nd time watching Episode One, is when I heard/understood the musical queue for Darth Sidious, and it clicked for me: "HE ALREADY IS!!!" Yeah, the clues are totally there for hard core fans who read up a lot. You can spot the foreshadowing a mile away.
That is SO helpful. Well written. But i think you went a bit too far at the very end. Too many clues. I fear she may prefer it together too soon and you won't get the reaction you (and the rest of us) are hoping for. Please consider trimming out that last clue before she sees it.
@@ninjanibba4259 that quote is pretty spot on though. Schindler’s List, Godfather 1 & 2, The Irishman are all 3+ hours and worth every minute. But In the Army Now would have been better if it was only 15 minutes long lol.

Boba is an unaltered clone of Jango Fett. All the others were genetically altered to age at twice the normal rate, so they'd have an army in half the time. Boba is the only one who actually looks his age by human standards. So remember that the Clone Army that comes to rescue the Jedi is literally a bunch of ten year olds...
Most living things are clones of their parents. We just get to experience life and learn for ourselves over many yrs. These clones don't get that luxury.
"I'm a little slow on the uptake" Cassie! If there's one thing you've proven is that your not slow on these things. you've constantly surprised me on all the stuff you catch
Funny thing is, Jango wasn't lying when he said he was just a simple man trying to make his way. He is literally true neutral. He knows hes working for the Republic to help the Jedi develop a secret clone army, he is also working for an ex-Jedi who is rallying a separatist movement to oppose the Republic, and at the same time taking side jobs from corrupt mega corporations to assassinate political figures that oppose them( admittedly had to sub contract that one). How much he knows about the deeper conspiracy behind all is, is irrelevant, as I doubt he even cares. Does make the movie confusing though.
He is the ultimate mercenary, and more amoral than Solo ever imagined himself to be. His capability made him a formidable opponent indeed. I was rather sorry to see him disposed of - at least, so soon. 🤨 😕
Jango's the sort of guy who would only be interested in a conspiracy if he thought that knowledge would lead to more money for him. Otherwise, who cares?
Maybe I'm wrong but isn't he also supposed to have some kind of God complex? I heard somewhere that he had a God complex and loved that the clone army was being made in his image and so he believed them and himself to be perfect or something like that
He's not neutral at all, he knew the clones would one day destroy jedi, and he hated jedi because of what they did to mandalorian people as he is one. That's why some fans speculated that even if Jango would've survived he would be killed be sidious, as he was aware of the plan im preety sure
@@sighberspook2021 In the EU he actually found out about the original intent behind the Clone Army and conspired with the Sith plot to take his revenge on the Jedi their butchering of the Mandolorians thirty years or so prior
When you asked why Jedi can't love or be attached, The Tusken Raider scene answered that. Jedi aren't allowed to be attached because of the emotions it can cause. If someone hurt someone you loved, you'd be angry, maybe hateful and, in a Jedi, that can take control and turn them to the Dark SIde, making them, generally, greedy and self-centered where they are out for themselves to the detriment of anyone against them. I say "generally" because it's not always the case that the Dark Side corrupts to that degree. In the old expanded universe, specifically some of the later novels, there are a few times where a Dark Sider was generally a decent person.
It is funny the more extended universe one reads especially the Bane trilogy you realize the holes in the Jedi philosophy. Not loving and having attachments as a way to protect from the dark side is flawed. Many times the very act of deprivation is what has lead many yo choose the dark side. The Jedi are also elf righteous and claim to not want power, but everything they do is to contrary. It is all interesting.
@@WarWolfeX Oh, absolutely. In fact, it's what i think made Luke's Jedi Order so interesting. Suddenly, the Jedi were allowed to love, get married, have kids, and all the attachments and negative emotions that came with it. And I feel they better understood the people they helped as a result in certain situations. It wasn't just "Revenge for them killing your spouse is wrong." It was "Revenge is understandable as a desire, but still wrong and here's why." Though when Mara was killed by jacen and Luke assumed it was Lumiya, he went out and killed her for revenge. With the Council's blessing. Very much more nuanced and interesting.
You're justified in not buying the love story and finding a lot of the dialog to be cheesy and cliché. George Lucas has always struggled with writing three-dimensional dialog. That's just how it is, unfortunately. But it's also true that Anakin's "love" for Padme is possessive. Due in large part to the Jedi Order forbidding him to have a healthy understanding of his emotions.
It doesn't help that Lucas isn't good at coaxing good performances from his less experienced actors. Bad dialogue + bad directing = terrible love story.
IDK. In my opinion, it was flawlessly executed, since... even the ESB & ROTJ love scenes (and 'emotional' scenes) were super cheesy. :) People just (magically) give them free passes. No idea why. Probably because they like Harrison Ford TOO much. Not that he's unlikeable, but... they just gave *WAY* too much credit to Han & Leia. THEY'RE CHEESY. :D No big deal, but... yes... cheesy.
When I first saw the movie back in 2002, I felt the same way as many people did that it was cheesy and unbelievable and annoying. When I rewatched the movies around 15 years later, obviously much older, I found that I sympathized with Anakin more. I mean he's still annoying, But he's basically a kid experiencing love for the first time and he doesn't know how best to express himself or deal with his emotions. So it's understandable. Even though it's probably more to do with Lucas and bad dialogue, I understand it.
that it is. not generic bad guy music at all, as one commenter said, but the full realization that the republic BECOMES the empire. it's why, I think, when the imperial march starts playing, (in c minor at first,) there are "stately/fanfare-ish" riffs in the brass at first, then it shortly modulates to e minor, with the accompaniment parts from the latter part of it as heard in the credits to Empire strikes back (as well as in the soundtrack version of the imperial march proper.) With the melody in the trombones, it sounds BRUTAL, as it did in the original trilogy. As such, it goes sorta from stately, to brutal. That's what the republic itself does.
@@highstimulation2497 Exactly and we go from a scene of impending doom and horror to a very sweet and peaceful scene, yet Anakin and Padme look out over the horizon as if they can figuratively sense the shear terror that we saw in the previous scene.
No Body say anything.... she’s asking herself all the right questions... you just need to watch episode 3 Cassie, there’s a lot set up in this! And the less you read, the less will be spoiled.
They weren't allowed love in the "old" order cause strong emotions lead to the dark side, the "new" order (made by luke but I thinks its non cannon anymore thanks to disney) did allow love cause they recognized the power behind it. You can look up the Jedi Code and Sith Code then it will make sense :D
Okay recap with no spoilers here: - The Sith aka the "Darths" (opposites of the Jedi) were thought to be extinct for over a thousand years, long after they tried to conquer the Republic. But every now and then they'd reappear in twos (master and apprentice) as we saw in episode one with Darth Sidious and Darth Maul (RIP in half). - Darth Sidious has been planning something big in the shadows somewhere for decades. - Someone unknown secretly ordered a clone army to be made for the Republic about 10 years prior, apparently a now dead Jedi, and deleted the clone planet from the Jedi archives. - The clones were cloned from Jango Fet ("father" of Boba Fet) a great Mandalorian warrior & bounty hunter. He was also paid to kill Padme by the Viceroy out of vengeance. - Dooku aka Darth Tyranis was a Jedi but went rogue and joined the dark side because he thinks the Jedi order is hypocritical, the Republic corrupt and doesn't get anything done. Like when Naboo was under siege by the Trade Federation (Viceroy) in episode one and the Republic would take years to get anything done about it. - Major corporations, like bankers and the Trade Federation lead the Separatists who make battle droid armies, because like Dooku, they think the Republic is corrupt and they want their freedom to run their enterprises like little (business) empires. - The senate of the Republic would have taken years to maybe approve of a clone army, but the Chancelor luckily was voted emergency supreme power (think ancient Rome) to get things done. He now controls this new army of the Republic to fight the Separatists who want to tear the Republic apart (the Clone Wars)
"He's just a clone. He's not a real... human...?" Clones are real people. It's just that instead of being a mix of the DNA from a mother and father, they have 100% identical DNA of the host. For example, if you made a clone of yourself, it would be you, if you were born now instead of on your birth date. Your clone would not have the experiences you had when you were a child.

@@lassesipila6418 All the clones except Boba are "re-engineered". I think all other clones I've seen in scifi have the same fingerprints and retina. Even Bizarro before he "deforms".
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps To be fair, a clone wouldn't have the exact same fingerprints or retinas as their original (similar, but still different). Much of their patterns are determined by subtle chemical, hormonal and dietary differences from gestation onward. In fact, a clone could be even less identical than a twin because unlike twins that grow at the exact same time in the same womb, the clone would be grown in a different mother (unless the original volunteers their mom to carry the clone baby, but even then the clone could still turn out different).

Along with checking out "Clone Wars", I would also recommend watching "Rogue One" after you watch Ep. 3... It's a fantastic tie in to "A New Hope" and is one of the best movies in the entire franchise.. :)
I highly recommend waiting until after watching The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch first, before watching Rebels and/or Rogue One. Definitely watch all of that, before ever venturing into the new movies made after Rogue One... Or just don't bother watching the ones made after it. You won't lose anything, and in fact will probably like the franchise more, if you don't ever see them. You can happily skip from Rogue One on forward to The Mandalorian, and it'll all make way more sense.

@@faisalmemon285 Yep. While it's still the best movie the new Lucasfilm regime has put out so far - albeit mostly by default - it still has a lot of the same problems as the other movies: bland characters, an often convoluted plot, more contemporary-sounding dialogue (as opposed to the stylized '30s/'40s movie speak of Eps. I-VI), undercutting certain plot points/elements from Eps. I-VI, and painfully self-aware winks to the OT (that utterly gratuitous Dr. Evazan/Ponda Baba cameo; Hey, look, everyone -- Cassian is wearing the same type of coat Han did on Hoth! And the Rebels re wearing those same hat-with-goggles combo that they also did on Hoth!; etc.), among other things. But the Battle of Scarif is probably the closest they've come so far to actually feeling like Lucas-made Star Wars... and they also added new elements like Death Troopers and U-Wings instead of just putting a new coat of paint on everything from the OT.
Christopher Lee was an amazing character actor that played a ton of memorable villains in his career, including Dracula. Another fun fact about Lee is he actually started working on heavy metal albums late in life and was producing them well into his early 90s, just prior to his death in 2015.
Well, he was hired to play various characters on albums by other bands, and later recorded a handful of short EPs. It's hardly a career in music, more like a bit of a hobby.

Anakin is 19-20 in this, Padme is about 24. Obi: We’re here to protect you, not investigate. Ani: We’re gonna investigate the S**T out of this Padme! Obi: Dude, wtf? Ani: jumps out of car from high altitude. Obi: “I hate it when he does that.” Also Obi: yeets himself out a window from a high altitude 3 minutes earlier. Clone troopers are NOT stormtroopers. Though they are the first step towards them. Stormtroopers were regular human recruits and conscripts. The clones are real humans. They just weren’t born the traditional way. And all except Boba have been altered in some ways. Attachment affects your emotions, can lead to selfishness, lead to rash decisions, to cases like Anakin Jat pack rocket, not helmet rocket Jango was just hired to have his DNA used for the army, he’s not allied with the Republic. Jango wants his son to carry on the Fett legacy Having Padme killed was Viceroy Gunray’s condition for joining Dooku. Dooku’s not trying to improve the Republic, he and other want to separate from it _Execution,_ not a battle. So no, they’re not gonna give them a chance. Yup, he can shoot lightning just like the Sidious/the future Emperor. And they’re NOT related to each other by blood. It’s just a dark side power. Yoda used the force to aid him in saber combat. No, those weren’t the bad guys, literally none of those guys were Separatists. The clones serve the Republic, so they’re good. As to the creation of the clone army, jedi Sifo Dyas did order it (in good faith) but he died before it was completed. Jango said he was recruited to be the clone template by a man called Tyranus. When Dooku meets up with Sidious, he greets him as Lord Tyranus. Dooku’s sith name is Darth Tyranus. The space soap opera had cliche overacted lines? Shocker. People clown on the romance for being weird and stupid and rushed and awkward, but like...that's the whole point. They shouldn't be doing this. Anakin acts exactly like a celibate teenage monk with no training in the ways of love would. And Padme is so focused on her work and public service that the hero of her people who dedicated HIS life to service would obviously attract her.
14:56 they're inspired by Buddhist Monks. Attachment is exactly what they're trying to avoid, because that leads to desperate emotions which lead to the darkside, they're all about self control. The Sith on the otherhand teach to give in to your passions because they give you strength.
Ironically, both sides discourage love, except for different reasons. The Jedi warn against love because it can lead to attachment, which in turn can lead to fear of losing it, and in turn lead to rash action that leads down the path to the Dark Side. The Sith, on the other hand, despise love because it can lead to _mercy,_ which is considered a weakness in their eyes.
The Droid factory scenes were added by Lucas. He surprised the pre-production team with some extra storyboards showing Padmé and Anakin on the conveyer belt. They were from coloring books produced as prequels the first Star Wars movie in 1978-9. There were even novellas for the first three episodes. I worked at a print shop printing the colouring books in 1979

No but srsly, I watched Attack of the Clones three or four times in the theaters when it got released, and each time, I said "He gave me this RIng" when Dooku was doing his Sith Lord speech.
Anakin is intimidating. He wasn't happy to be seeing Watto. Watto obviously seeing Anakin as a Jedi and having the expression of someone who is fully prepared to take the little turd on a murder ride. Of course he'd start talking.
I feel unironically Watto gives the best acting performance of all six films in that scene. The look in his eyes as he slowly recognizes Anakin is a marvel of animation.

STAR WARS EPISODE III is definitely the best of the prequels. Can't wait to watch your reaction After Episode II comes Star Wars: The Clone Wars the series. You would understand everything much better if you could watch it but with 133 episodes I can understand if you don't have the time for it
@@Godisgoodalways7777 Sadly that wouldn't be the case, as, while I won't spoil anything, it actively conflicts with the events of the 2008 Clone Wars series. Besides, while it's on Disney+, that's because it's a beloved Star Wars product, not because it's considered canon by Disney. All I'll say about the conflicting events and portrayals is; look at the difference between General Grievous in the 2003 2D micro series, compared to the 2008 3D series. Then tell me which one is canon, and _then_ tell me which one you *want* to be canon. (I'll stop here before I start ranting).
@@Godisgoodalways7777 Yeah, it's a whole messy situation, quite a few "Legends" Star Wars fans are highly upset with the new Disney canon, primarily because of what it over wrote and just threw away in terms of stories and characters. For example, the Grand Inquisitor from Rebels is a replacement for Inquisitor Jerec who was the main villain of Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2. Likewise, Kyle Katarn (Protagonist of said game) is replaced with Kanan Jarrus in Rebels. Look both of them up and you'll see a single example of why Legends fans are upset. (RUclips Jensaarai1 does versus matches where he goes into detail of the story, abilities and likelihood of certain characters beating another. Check him out if you're interested to learn about Legends characters, as that's what he mostly focuses on).
22:30 Christopher Lee (Saruman), while having Obi Wan as prisoner, needs to speak a lot of lines in a very short span of time, he proceeds to talk very fast and his locution is crystal clear, you don't miss a single word he is saying, that's some impressive oral skills there.
20:22 - 21:22 - I love that you feel sorry for a character who ultimately starts his path to become a villain. It speaks volumes about you and your own humanity.
When Anakin is going berserk on the tusken raiders after his mom dies. In the scene where Yoda is sensing Anakin's pain you can hear Qui Gon Jinn's voice calling out to Anakin. Because as Anakin is blind with rage killing all the tusken raiders he cannot hear Qui Gon Jinn calling out to him. In an attempt to stop him from killing the tusken raiders. Truly a beautiful and sad scene if it would of gone into more detail.
Wow! I have watched Cassie watching so many films and in deed love her totally her 'wearing her heart on her sleeve' reactions to each and every film. But it is her insightful conclusions at the end that blow my mind each time. And this one is no different. Every point she said, the good things and the problems she outlines are exactly the thoughts of every other Star Wars fan who saw this film in theatres. Just down right amazing! Maybe some production companies should offer to send Cassie to screen tests for some some of her insightful info on the good and bad points about their films. Because, quite frankly, she just gets it.
That look on your face when the penny dropped when you realised Padamè is Luke & Leia's Mum absolutely made me pop. Thank you for starting my day on a bright note.
In answer to ALL your questions: ATTACK OF THE CLONES script was heavily re-re-re-written and in the process, a lot of different bits of prior scripts ended up sticking around even though they weren't necessary for the story. George Lucas first wrote ATTACK OF THE CLONES to be his first attempt at writing a mystery script, but basically he'd never done it before and he realized pretty quickly that he couldn't make it work and make the idea work that the Senate AND the Separatists were all controlled by the same person - Darth Sidious. He was manufacturing a war at both ends in order to seize power. In one version of the script, Syfo-Dias was Darth Sidious in disguise. In another version of the script, Syfo-Dias was a real Jedi that Sidious murdered and assumed their identity. In this version of the script, it's completely unanswered who the heck Syfo-Dias was and why they ordered the Clone Army. In the movie version - according to interviews with Lucas - Syfo-Dias was a real Jedi, ordered the Clones for legitimate reasons and then Sidious killed him and took over his identity. This is - of course - the most confusing and weakest version of this idea. The version where Syfo-Dias was Sidious in disguise from the very beginning was actually leaked to the public and the script and dialogue is way better than it is in the finished movie. The only problem is that in that version, the audience figures out that Sidious ordered the Clone Army about halfway through the film and I guess Lucas didn't want that, he wanted it kept a mystery for as long possible. That leaked script ALSO had an amazing idea that Jar Jar Binks went to "Senator School" and ended speaking 'normally' without his Gungan dialect or accent. He ended up becoming quite a good politician though a very naive one and you saw him doing more political stuff to really show he was taking charge. Anyways -- the official explanation is this: Sidious is behind the Separatist Droid Army AND he's behind the Clones - he's literally manipulating both sides of the war and lying to everyone in order to get the Republic and the Separatists to fight each other while Sidious seizes power behind the scenes. And in the process, the Jedi get squeezed in the middle and are too busy to realize what Sidious is doing. It's complicated, not well explained and not really very Star Wars-y in my opinion. But the STAR WARS PREQUELS are literally experimental films -- Lucas didn't want to make more STAR WARS movies, but when he committed to doing them in order to secure his financial fortunes he decided he'd experiment with filmmaking he never got to try before. Like shooting on Digital Cameras, doing different genres (Mystery in this film which he realized he was bad at after he made the movie), trying different styles of editing and VFX and - most importantly - making commentary on American politics and American culture.
Excellent, excellent summary and information. For me, AOC will forever be in my top 10 simply for the artwork and imagining of Coruscant. Those scenes of the chase through the "planet city" awoke the engineer in me and I've never looked back.
The clones are just the most amazing of companions. Their lives are all tragedies. Born to fight and die and you'll understand why it's a sad story if you watch Star Wars the Clone Wars from 2008
I've always loved the scene when the droid control ship crashes into the ground kicking up a huge dust cloud and the Clones are advancing fearlessly despite not being able to see what's in front of them or what they're shooting at
You do realize that Anakin has literally zero experience in the ways of romance due to his commitment to the Jedi Order, right? And that Padmé has very little herself due to also starting her career at a young age? They're basically that naïve couple many of us knew of in high school who were so convinced they were each other's soulmates that they ended up getting married not long after graduating... and then you run into one of them at your 10-year reunion only to learn that they've since divorced (in this story, they just don't get to that point).
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy I know what you’re saying, but I still think the romance could have been better with less stilted dialogue and less of Anakin creepily staring at Padme…
@@MikeVernonProd Yes, I've long argued that a more deft screenwriter and a more actor-friendly co-director (since I do feel Lucas is still a solid director from a purely visual standpoint) would've kept at least 90% of the prequels' problems from ever even manifesting. But even so, as they are, it's still not _that_ difficult to read between the lines here...
I’m an American in Japan. There is a road here called Kamino. I asked my wife what it meant and she said it means “God’s road. Kami is Japanese for a god. The No makes it possessive in Japanese. I was blown away. So Kamino where they played god and created life is “God’s road”
32:34 actually yes. He’s playing both sides to establish his power. Clones fight for the Republic; droids for Dooku’s side of things. Clone wars tv show explains a lot of what happens between II and III
The whole thing with Master Sifo-Dyas, who placed the order for the clone army, is never really explained in the movies. I'm sure it comes up in some of the other Star Wars media, but they really just left movie audiences in the dark with that one.
Seriously, its not like they had different writters/directors for these movies. Lucas could have actualy made TPM be part of the larger story by including Sifo-Dyas in it.
Tadah, here is where the "I hate sand" memes came from. XD Padme was the youngest Queen in Naboo's history at 14 years old. So the age gap between her and Anakin is only a few years but they are both adults at this point in time.
You need to watch Rouge One A Star Wars Story after episode 3 as there's a connection between episode 3 & 4. Plus just to let you know that Boba Fett from the original trilogy is the little boy in this episode.
"Why do all the Brothers love their sister's in these?" I busted out laughing. My little 5 yrs old nephew at the time he saw this. Asked the same question.
@@Kazeromaru I believe he really does use the force to enhance his reactions and agility. I love how after the fight is over, he retrieves his cane and you see the physical toll it took on him as he hunches and relies heavily on his cane as he limps away.
After this movie, the animated series The Clone Wars takes place, giving much more detail into the time span between Ep2 and Ep3. It's a fan favorite too, so I would recommend to watch it at some point in your Star Wars Journey. The war went on for three years and Ep3 shows the final moments of it. For example, the series also clears up some things about the mysterious case of Jedi Master Sifo Dyas and his part in the creation of the Clone Army.
Absolutely agree with this comment. Though, I realize Cassie probably won't due to likely time constraints. If she doesn't, I hope someone can pass on that *a lot* of character growth, development, and plot occurs between II and III that explains a hell of a lot.
@@KurustheGreat I hope she still does. I would think that she wants to see The Mandalorian at some point and for that TCW and Rebels would be highly recommended. If she does decide to watch TCW someone should tell her to watch it in chronological order, not release order. Otherwise this wouldn't make sense xD I have also seen some other emerging reaction channels, at least one of them has already started with The Clone Wars.

They should have kept the Darth Jar-Jar plot. At least there'd be a payoff for putting up with him. But I guess then Christopher Lee wouldn't have had a part.
The voice that said “Anakin! Noooo!” when Yoda was sensing Anakin’s rampage, was Qui-Gon’s voice.
Yoda heard Qui-Gon (and it is implied in Episode III, Yoda has been been communing with him for some time through the force).
@Maxwell Long At that time, Noone was attuned enough to hear from the Netherworld of the Force, except Yoda, which he didn't even know at the time that he could. Qui-Gon was watching and spoke out. Yoda was the only one who could hear it. Yoda learns later what that was and why he could do it, which is how he is able to carry on after death. For further info, watch the Clone Wars.
@Maxwell Long - Anakin couldn't hear Qui-Gon because he was starting to slip into the dark side of the force (and Qui-Gon was one with the light side of the force) plus Anakin's own anger, fear, aggression, rage, strong negative emotions kept him from hearing also....
@@MLJ7956 Qui-Gon was not completely bright. He was called as a Jedi but he wasn't completely, he was s a Grey Jedi (Regular Jedi but with knowledge and sometimes some controlled use of the Dark Side), so you don't have to be 100% good to commune through the force as a ghost
Actually I think it was supposed to be the guy from Taken... you'd think he can't communicate from beyond the grave as a non-jedi, but he has a particular set of skills.
I'm sorry, but Hayden's delivery of the murder confession after his mom's death has always given me chills. Whatever flaws in his acting, that moment was spot on, and it's still haunting.
I never saw anything was wrong with him. Yeah people expect vader to be this tough guy but even he was just a child at first. The emotional way Hayden is was perfect because Anakin never learned to control his emotions. The Jedi deny their feelings so without someone like Qui-gon to help he never really mature. He was meant to act like an emo.
@@TheReasonableLiberal-hn2rs For me, his portrayal wasn't the issue, it was the transition from Episode 1 to Episode 2 didn't have enough context for me to believe his susceptibility. Even though I already knew he turns into Darth Vader, I thought his descent wasn't done well. But I blame the writing and direction more than anything. Just like I didn't buy the romance between Anakin and Padme. To me there was no chemistry there at all.
Meh, John Anderson did it with conviction and true remorse, as Kevin Uxbridge, in an episode of Star Trek, Next Gen
The theater crowd went bananas when Yoda walked in to fight.

Yep yep, surprise, Cassie. There are some flashes of brilliance. Three steps forward, one step back though. Granted there is a lot going on in this movie but still. I'm surprised our sweet host didn't recognize him right away after seeing his face because quite a bit earlier she heard the voice and recognized but it was the Saruman actor immediately.
Cassie: "I'm confused." "I don't know what's happening. I don't understand the politics of this." "Are they even hitting each other? No, they're just spinning." "Why am I still so confused though?" "Some of the lines seemed like so cliche and overacted."
This is all very validating.
Prequel fans: "I'm glad she liked it"
She addresses this at the end overall she understood most of what was happening, but she liked the film overall despite some issues she has with it.
@@skywalkerorder2170 Problem was Lucas , a bit like Ridley Scott , great visuals , cant write a competent dialogue .
@@pete_lind Lots of the dialogue is cringy, you're right, some of the lines have deeper meaning though, like the iconic sand line, mostly likely it's Anakin's way of telling Padme that he didn't grow up in a Palace on a beautiful paradise planet like her, in the lap of luxury. He was a slave, treated as a slave, even if he was a child, and lived on a harsh and unforgiving planet, every day could be his last, even if he didn't realize it at times, he's very lucky to have escaped, but most slaves aren't nearly as fortunate.
@@lazerfluxxy7370 Yeah, as memeable as it is, the sand line isn't awful in theory, it's just delivered awkwardly, and his kiss is awkward. Even that is somewhat understandable given Anakin's background. (Although I'm not sure Lucas actually intended that). The music is good at least, haha. I love the Across the Stars love theme - it's got a hint of darkness/tragedy in it. I love how it just cuts out when Padme breaks the kiss too.
When Yoda force pulled his light sabre, the theater I was in went totally bananas. It was great.
I may have jumped out of my seat.
Theater I went to on Opening night went absolutely crazy when Yoda force pulled his lightsaber to his hand.
I remember just laughing when he started bouncing around.
"How come Jedi can't have love or attachment?" It makes them have alternative motives and act on emotion. You fear for what could happen to your loved ones, and Yoda said "fear is a path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering". See how the love for his mother made Anakin behave?
Of course the no attachment rule hasn’t ever really worked well for the Jedi. Learning to manage attachments rather than banning them outright would have been healthier.
It’s also why padiwans are taken at such a young age. To remove them from that attachment.

Basically "the clone wars" has 2 factions.
Droids = Separatists
Clones = Republic
Everything will make sense after episode 3
But within the seperatists, there are genuine sub-factions of seperatists who distrust the Republic for reasons that will be proven true, as well as shadow factions of faux-separatists who are planted...
Obi-Wan = High Ground
@@technohellscape Anakin = Lost
In simple terms yes but once you look more into the Separatists (CIS) you realise that it's a formation of many different families, planets, species and corporations who make up the CIS which is why they have the most unique and diverse looking weapons, ships, vehicles, and droids there isn't one single style as these range from all types of cultures and designers. The Republic on the other hand is far more Formal with each ship and vehicle having the same design styles and artistic all very uniform. The later years of the Clone Wars when the CIS started sending out contracts to create their own ships and vehicles these became much more simpler in deigns. The Rebels are the same all they take as many ships and vehicles as they can from anyone which creates an amazing mess of styles.
The 2 Factions are....

29:06 “But thats his mission!”
Thats actually a really good point. WE know Anakin only cares cause he just boinked Padme but as far as Obi-wan or the jedi should care, protecting her is his primary mission. Even if they know whos trying to kill her now 🤔
Answers to your questions! (spoiler-free):
- Padmé is four-and-a-half-ish years older than Anakin.
- Death sticks are vials of a hallucinogenic drug called ixetal cilona.
- Owen and Beru are Luke’s aunt and uncle; Anakin’s step-brother and step-sister-in-law.
- Yep, that’s Christopher Lee, the actor of both Saruman and Dooku. Your Isengard comparison was on-point. :D
- The Jedi 10 years ago who commissioned the clone army had a vision through the Force that it would be needed. His name was Master Sifo-Dyas. But how could he do this on his own without the Jedi knowing? Where did he get the money? Did he erase the Kamino file from the Jedi archives? Could this be related to Tyranus, the man who commissioned Jango to be the clone donor? But why would Jango then join Dooku against the clones he helped make? And who is Tyranus? This is confusing because it’s meant to be a mystery.
- The reason Dooku would both carry out the bidding of his master, Darth Sidious, while at the same time conspire against him, is in the Sith’s nature. This is why there are only ever two Sith at a time; one to hold power and the other to covet and eventually take it, the Sith thereby getting stronger with each successive generation. In the past, the Jedi were able to defeat the Sith time and again because there were many Sith, and the Sith frequently fought amongst themselves for power as much as their actual enemies, while the Jedi remained united.
- The politics of the situation were that the Separatists-planets led by Dooku-view the Republic as corrupt and wish to secede. Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padmé are two Jedi and a senator on the side of the Republic trespassing on a Separatist planet and accused of espionage. Dooku trying to get Obi-Wan to join him was just a last-second bid for more power.
- The Jedi are always hard to hit with blasters. They use the Force to anticipate incoming shots and use their lightsabers to deflect or even reflect them back at their shooters. It’s not perfect though, and many Jedi were simply overwhelmed and killed in this battle.
- I won’t give spoilers, but Imperial stormtroopers and Republic clone troopers are different people, yes. Their armor is similar for a reason, though.
- Yep, the clones all look and sound like Jango. They’re all played by Temuera Morrison, who also re-voiced over Boba in the original trilogy you already watched. You might recognize his voice if you rewatch Empire Strikes Back.
- The senators aren’t the bad guys in that last scene. Chancellor Palpatine was even attended by Bail Organa, Leia’s father from the original trilogy. Those were the good guys overlooking their good guy army, the army that will be led by the Jedi against Dooku’s droid army. It was just playing bad guy music and treated as a threatening thing because of what Yoda said. Good guys or bad guys, war has begun, and that’s the last thing the Jedi want. The Jedi are peacekeepers, so them having to lead an army in a war against a former Jedi is why Yoda doesn’t see it as a victory. War itself is of the dark side, no matter who’s fighting in it.
- It was a secret wedding. (And yeah, their love story is a bit rushed, you’re not alone in feeling like that.)
- TL;DR about who the bad guys are: Nobody knows. The Jedi are just as confused as you are. A former Jedi-Dooku-has started a war against the Republic, but a dead Jedi named Sifo-Dyas commissioned an army for the Jedi to fight that war with, ten years before it started, and the guy who the clones are based on was sided with Dooku. Dooku claims the Republic is being controlled by Darth Sidious, Jango said he was commissioned by a man named Tyranus, the Jedi don’t recognize either of those names, and Sifo-Dyas died shortly after commissioning the army for some reason. It’s all very confusing and mysterious on purpose. Now the Jedi are stuck in a war against their former ally with troops they didn’t ask for, and they don’t know how to feel about that.
- There is also one piece of information that you probably should know that would help things all fit together, but you don’t, and your fans aren’t telling you, so I’m just going to let it sit until you discover it for yourself. It’s not hidden, you just have to pay close attention. :)
- Also, the next movie will flat-out tell you, and you may be the first person I’ve ever heard of to go into it not knowing this info already, so that reaction is something I will look forward to!
- Edit: I forgot that one of the mysteries is revealed in the movie itself. Dooku is Tyranus. Darth Tyranus. Dooku aided Sifo-Dyas in making the clone army, possibly paying for it (he is a count). So, at the bidding of his master, Darth Sidious, Dooku commissioned a clone army based on Jango Fett ten whole years before they would be needed to fight in a war against himself. Dooku started the Clone Wars for the Clone Wars’ own sake, and the Jedi are wholly unaware of this.
Damn bro, well done. I never knew I cared enough about Star Wars to read all of that, but here we are.

@@ninjanibba4259 that quote is pretty spot on though. Schindler’s List, Godfather 1 & 2, The Irishman are all 3+ hours and worth every minute. But In the Army Now would have been better if it was only 15 minutes long lol.
@@tjdaniels9128 I've heard the Irishman was mid at most, I'm not saying CERTAIN movies aren't entertaining with the 3 hour mark, but it's still not necessary to do, a coherent story doesn't need to be any longer than the average length, anything longer than that on a daily basis is too much
Except for if the bladder is making itself known. than even a 11/10 movie can be too long ^^
Boba is an unaltered clone of Jango Fett. All the others were genetically altered to age at twice the normal rate, so they'd have an army in half the time. Boba is the only one who actually looks his age by human standards.
So remember that the Clone Army that comes to rescue the Jedi is literally a bunch of ten year olds...
Not only Boba, but Omega as well, she was made unaltered along with Boba (Alpha). Watch "The Bad Batch" it's amazing

Funny thing is, Jango wasn't lying when he said he was just a simple man trying to make his way. He is literally true neutral. He knows hes working for the Republic to help the Jedi develop a secret clone army, he is also working for an ex-Jedi who is rallying a separatist movement to oppose the Republic, and at the same time taking side jobs from corrupt mega corporations to assassinate political figures that oppose them( admittedly had to sub contract that one).
How much he knows about the deeper conspiracy behind all is, is irrelevant, as I doubt he even cares.
Does make the movie confusing though.
He is the ultimate mercenary, and more amoral than Solo ever imagined himself to be. His capability made him a formidable opponent indeed. I was rather sorry to see him disposed of - at least, so soon. 🤨 😕
Jango's the sort of guy who would only be interested in a conspiracy if he thought that knowledge would lead to more money for him. Otherwise, who cares?
Maybe I'm wrong but isn't he also supposed to have some kind of God complex? I heard somewhere that he had a God complex and loved that the clone army was being made in his image and so he believed them and himself to be perfect or something like that
He's not neutral at all, he knew the clones would one day destroy jedi, and he hated jedi because of what they did to mandalorian people as he is one. That's why some fans speculated that even if Jango would've survived he would be killed be sidious, as he was aware of the plan im preety sure
@@sighberspook2021

"Glow stick fight!"
Such a fun reaction to watch! I'm excited for Episode III!
When you asked why Jedi can't love or be attached, The Tusken Raider scene answered that. Jedi aren't allowed to be attached because of the emotions it can cause. If someone hurt someone you loved, you'd be angry, maybe hateful and, in a Jedi, that can take control and turn them to the Dark SIde, making them, generally, greedy and self-centered where they are out for themselves to the detriment of anyone against them. I say "generally" because it's not always the case that the Dark Side corrupts to that degree. In the old expanded universe, specifically some of the later novels, there are a few times where a Dark Sider was generally a decent person.
It is funny the more extended universe one reads especially the Bane trilogy you realize the holes in the Jedi philosophy. Not loving and having attachments as a way to protect from the dark side is flawed. Many times the very act of deprivation is what has lead many yo choose the dark side. The Jedi are also elf righteous and claim to not want power, but everything they do is to contrary. It is all interesting.
@@WarWolfeX Oh, absolutely. In fact, it's what i think made Luke's Jedi Order so interesting. Suddenly, the Jedi were allowed to love, get married, have kids, and all the attachments and negative emotions that came with it. And I feel they better understood the people they helped as a result in certain situations. It wasn't just "Revenge for them killing your spouse is wrong." It was "Revenge is understandable as a desire, but still wrong and here's why." Though when Mara was killed by jacen and Luke assumed it was Lumiya, he went out and killed her for revenge. With the Council's blessing. Very much more nuanced and interesting.
As if you could actually prevent yourself from loving someone.

You're justified in not buying the love story and finding a lot of the dialog to be cheesy and cliché. George Lucas has always struggled with writing three-dimensional dialog. That's just how it is, unfortunately. But it's also true that Anakin's "love" for Padme is possessive. Due in large part to the Jedi Order forbidding him to have a healthy understanding of his emotions.
It doesn't help that Lucas isn't good at coaxing good performances from his less experienced actors. Bad dialogue + bad directing = terrible love story.
And a healthy dose of emotional and force-related manipulation by the dark lord of the sith, who has taken a keen interest in Anakin's career.
IDK. In my opinion, it was flawlessly executed, since... even the ESB & ROTJ love scenes (and 'emotional' scenes) were super cheesy. :)
People just (magically) give them free passes. No idea why. Probably because they like Harrison Ford TOO much. Not that he's unlikeable, but... they just gave *WAY* too much credit to Han & Leia. THEY'RE CHEESY. :D No big deal, but... yes... cheesy.
When I first saw the movie back in 2002, I felt the same way as many people did that it was cheesy and unbelievable and annoying. When I rewatched the movies around 15 years later, obviously much older, I found that I sympathized with Anakin more. I mean he's still annoying, But he's basically a kid experiencing love for the first time and he doesn't know how best to express himself or deal with his emotions. So it's understandable. Even though it's probably more to do with Lucas and bad dialogue, I understand it.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat
Exactly.
"My hands are dirty."
"My hands are dirty, too".
Tell me that's any better than Anakin's sand dialogue lmao
The transition between the clone army taking off and Anakin/Padme’s wedding was freaking brilliant.
that it is. not generic bad guy music at all, as one commenter said, but the full realization that the republic BECOMES the empire. it's why, I think, when the imperial march starts playing, (in c minor at first,) there are "stately/fanfare-ish" riffs in the brass at first, then it shortly modulates to e minor, with the accompaniment parts from the latter part of it as heard in the credits to Empire strikes back (as well as in the soundtrack version of the imperial march proper.) With the melody in the trombones, it sounds BRUTAL, as it did in the original trilogy. As such, it goes sorta from stately, to brutal. That's what the republic itself does.
@@highstimulation2497 Exactly and we go from a scene of impending doom and horror to a very sweet and peaceful scene, yet Anakin and Padme look out over the horizon as if they can figuratively sense the shear terror that we saw in the previous scene.

@@FuhqEwe nobody, that's what I wrote. Unless you see different. If you do, I apologize.
They weren't allowed love in the "old" order cause strong emotions lead to the dark side, the "new" order (made by luke but I thinks its non cannon anymore thanks to disney) did allow love cause they recognized the power behind it.
You can look up the Jedi Code and Sith Code then it will make sense :D
But wouldn't the Sith neglect to follow any code?
Okay recap with no spoilers here:
- The Sith aka the "Darths" (opposites of the Jedi) were thought to be extinct for over a thousand years, long after they tried to conquer the Republic. But every now and then they'd reappear in twos (master and apprentice) as we saw in episode one with Darth Sidious and Darth Maul (RIP in half).
- Darth Sidious has been planning something big in the shadows somewhere for decades.
- Someone unknown secretly ordered a clone army to be made for the Republic about 10 years prior, apparently a now dead Jedi, and deleted the clone planet from the Jedi archives.
- The clones were cloned from Jango Fet ("father" of Boba Fet) a great Mandalorian warrior & bounty hunter. He was also paid to kill Padme by the Viceroy out of vengeance.
- Dooku aka Darth Tyranis was a Jedi but went rogue and joined the dark side because he thinks the Jedi order is hypocritical, the Republic corrupt and doesn't get anything done. Like when Naboo was under siege by the Trade Federation (Viceroy) in episode one and the Republic would take years to get anything done about it.
- Major corporations, like bankers and the Trade Federation lead the Separatists who make battle droid armies, because like Dooku, they think the Republic is corrupt and they want their freedom to run their enterprises like little (business) empires.
- The senate of the Republic would have taken years to maybe approve of a clone army, but the Chancelor luckily was voted emergency supreme power (think ancient Rome) to get things done. He now controls this new army of the Republic to fight the Separatists who want to tear the Republic apart (the Clone Wars)
Great breakdown to clear things up. I hope she reads this because it will answer a lot of her questions.👍
r.i.p. in half..... my god, you didn't. hahahahahahahahaha
I thought fet had two tt's.
"He's just a clone. He's not a real... human...?"
Clones are real people. It's just that instead of being a mix of the DNA from a mother and father, they have 100% identical DNA of the host. For example, if you made a clone of yourself, it would be you, if you were born now instead of on your birth date. Your clone would not have the experiences you had when you were a child.
To pick a nit, if you made a clone of yourself, it would be your identical twin, only born at a different time.
@@lassesipila6418 I don't think so, your identical twin doesn't have the same fingerprints and retina which (in fiction) "non-re-engineered" clones do.
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps Haven't read especially many clone scifis, but is this an actual trope in the genre? Does it hold true with Kaminoan clone products in Star Wars?
@@lassesipila6418 All the clones except Boba are "re-engineered".
I think all other clones I've seen in scifi have the same fingerprints and retina. Even Bizarro before he "deforms".
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps To be fair, a clone wouldn't have the exact same fingerprints or retinas as their original (similar, but still different). Much of their patterns are determined by subtle chemical, hormonal and dietary differences from gestation onward. In fact, a clone could be even less identical than a twin because unlike twins that grow at the exact same time in the same womb, the clone would be grown in a different mother (unless the original volunteers their mom to carry the clone baby, but even then the clone could still turn out different).
I'm still impressed with how quick you are to pick up on this. I know you are new to these movies, but you catch just about every hint, every detail and every little thing the directors toss in for the fans
No she hasn't ,she still hasn't figured out who the emperor is.
And, just a year before, she knew not much more than some names and faces, and now she's got it down like she'd been watching it since she was a little kid, like the rest of us. 😁🎓
Along with checking out "Clone Wars", I would also recommend watching "Rogue One" after you watch Ep. 3... It's a fantastic tie in to "A New Hope" and is one of the best movies in the entire franchise.. :)
It could have been watch before cause most of first time watcher doesnt get that rogue one end just when ep 4 start
I highly recommend waiting until after watching The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch first, before watching Rebels and/or Rogue One. Definitely watch all of that, before ever venturing into the new movies made after Rogue One... Or just don't bother watching the ones made after it. You won't lose anything, and in fact will probably like the franchise more, if you don't ever see them. You can happily skip from Rogue One on forward to The Mandalorian, and it'll all make way more sense.
Unpopular opinion:"Rogue One"is *the WORST movie of the WHOLE franchise* for me!X-( I'm here for jedi and lightsabers and"Rogue One"has none of that shit(and no,Darth Vader and *his* lightsaber don't count because I can't stand that guy and BTW he's not in _most_ of the movie X-P)!
@@faisalmemon285 Yep. While it's still the best movie the new Lucasfilm regime has put out so far - albeit mostly by default - it still has a lot of the same problems as the other movies: bland characters, an often convoluted plot, more contemporary-sounding dialogue (as opposed to the stylized '30s/'40s movie speak of Eps. I-VI), undercutting certain plot points/elements from Eps. I-VI, and painfully self-aware winks to the OT (that utterly gratuitous Dr. Evazan/Ponda Baba cameo; Hey, look, everyone -- Cassian is wearing the same type of coat Han did on Hoth! And the Rebels re wearing those same hat-with-goggles combo that they also did on Hoth!; etc.), among other things. But the Battle of Scarif is probably the closest they've come so far to actually feeling like Lucas-made Star Wars... and they also added new elements like Death Troopers and U-Wings instead of just putting a new coat of paint on everything from the OT.
They broke new ground!
Christopher Lee was an amazing character actor that played a ton of memorable villains in his career, including Dracula.
Another fun fact about Lee is he actually started working on heavy metal albums late in life and was producing them well into his early 90s, just prior to his death in 2015.
He was a one man powerhouse. RIP to Christopher Lee.
he played dracula way back when movies and TV were black and white as well
He was also a commando in WWII

Clone troopers are NOT stormtroopers. Though they are the first step towards them. Stormtroopers were regular human recruits and conscripts.
The clones are real humans. They just weren’t born the traditional way. And all except Boba have been altered in some ways.
Attachment affects your emotions, can lead to selfishness, lead to rash decisions, to cases like Anakin
Jat pack rocket, not helmet rocket
Jango was just hired to have his DNA used for the army, he’s not allied with the Republic.
Jango wants his son to carry on the Fett legacy
Having Padme killed was Viceroy Gunray’s condition for joining Dooku. Dooku’s not trying to improve the Republic, he and other want to separate from it
_Execution,_ not a battle. So no, they’re not gonna give them a chance.
Yup, he can shoot lightning just like the Sidious/the future Emperor. And they’re NOT related to each other by blood. It’s just a dark side power.
Yoda used the force to aid him in saber combat.
No, those weren’t the bad guys, literally none of those guys were Separatists. The clones serve the Republic, so they’re good.
As to the creation of the clone army, jedi Sifo Dyas did order it (in good faith) but he died before it was completed. Jango said he was recruited to be the clone template by a man called Tyranus. When Dooku meets up with Sidious, he greets him as Lord Tyranus. Dooku’s sith name is Darth Tyranus.
The space soap opera had cliche overacted lines? Shocker.
People clown on the romance for being weird and stupid and rushed and awkward, but like...that's the whole point. They shouldn't be doing this.
Anakin acts exactly like a celibate teenage monk with no training in the ways of love would. And Padme is so focused on her work and public service that the hero of her people who dedicated HIS life to service would obviously attract her.
Exactly. If the stormtroopers were still the original clones based on Jango the bounty hunter they wouldn’t be so god awful at shooting. 😅
14:56 they're inspired by Buddhist Monks. Attachment is exactly what they're trying to avoid, because that leads to desperate emotions which lead to the darkside, they're all about self control. The Sith on the otherhand teach to give in to your passions because they give you strength.
And both were wrong.
Ironically, both sides discourage love, except for different reasons. The Jedi warn against love because it can lead to attachment, which in turn can lead to fear of losing it, and in turn lead to rash action that leads down the path to the Dark Side. The Sith, on the other hand, despise love because it can lead to _mercy,_ which is considered a weakness in their eyes.
@@WesMordine Something must have happened that caused love to be forbidden.
The Droid factory scenes were added by Lucas. He surprised the pre-production team with some extra storyboards showing Padmé and Anakin on the conveyer belt. They were from coloring books produced as prequels the first Star Wars movie in 1978-9. There were even novellas for the first three episodes. I worked at a print shop printing the colouring books in 1979
Even though Anakin said Obi-Wan was “like his father” in truth he’s more it’s more like a brother relationship
Well, Anakin tried to look at him like a father figure, but Obi-Wan always treated him like an older brother would.

I heard her get all mushy over the younglings and I thought, “Yeah, don’t get too attached to the younglings”.
That look on your face when the penny dropped when you realised Padamè is Luke & Leia's Mum absolutely made me pop. Thank you for starting my day on a bright note.
"Are those Storm Troopers? Or are those the clones?"
Yes.
Kind of. The majority of Stormtroopers are conscripts.
@@Vhailor_Mithras For the first few months after Order 66 they were clones but yeah almost all new conscripts after that.
Spoilers… /riversong
Not really spoiler. We knew for about 20 years. It wasn’t till recently they showed the transition.
@@brucechmiel7964 except yes, anything about that is a spoiler cos Cas hasn't seen it.
In answer to ALL your questions:
ATTACK OF THE CLONES script was heavily re-re-re-written and in the process, a lot of different bits of prior scripts ended up sticking around even though they weren't necessary for the story.
George Lucas first wrote ATTACK OF THE CLONES to be his first attempt at writing a mystery script, but basically he'd never done it before and he realized pretty quickly that he couldn't make it work and make the idea work that the Senate AND the Separatists were all controlled by the same person - Darth Sidious. He was manufacturing a war at both ends in order to seize power.
In one version of the script, Syfo-Dias was Darth Sidious in disguise. In another version of the script, Syfo-Dias was a real Jedi that Sidious murdered and assumed their identity. In this version of the script, it's completely unanswered who the heck Syfo-Dias was and why they ordered the Clone Army. In the movie version - according to interviews with Lucas - Syfo-Dias was a real Jedi, ordered the Clones for legitimate reasons and then Sidious killed him and took over his identity. This is - of course - the most confusing and weakest version of this idea.
The version where Syfo-Dias was Sidious in disguise from the very beginning was actually leaked to the public and the script and dialogue is way better than it is in the finished movie. The only problem is that in that version, the audience figures out that Sidious ordered the Clone Army about halfway through the film and I guess Lucas didn't want that, he wanted it kept a mystery for as long possible.
That leaked script ALSO had an amazing idea that Jar Jar Binks went to "Senator School" and ended speaking 'normally' without his Gungan dialect or accent. He ended up becoming quite a good politician though a very naive one and you saw him doing more political stuff to really show he was taking charge.
Anyways -- the official explanation is this:
Sidious is behind the Separatist Droid Army AND he's behind the Clones - he's literally manipulating both sides of the war and lying to everyone in order to get the Republic and the Separatists to fight each other while Sidious seizes power behind the scenes. And in the process, the Jedi get squeezed in the middle and are too busy to realize what Sidious is doing.
It's complicated, not well explained and not really very Star Wars-y in my opinion.
But the STAR WARS PREQUELS are literally experimental films -- Lucas didn't want to make more STAR WARS movies, but when he committed to doing them in order to secure his financial fortunes he decided he'd experiment with filmmaking he never got to try before. Like shooting on Digital Cameras, doing different genres (Mystery in this film which he realized he was bad at after he made the movie), trying different styles of editing and VFX and - most importantly - making commentary on American politics and American culture.
Excellent, excellent summary and information. For me, AOC will forever be in my top 10 simply for the artwork and imagining of Coruscant. Those scenes of the chase through the "planet city" awoke the engineer in me and I've never looked back.
Darth Jar Jar yes
The clones are just the most amazing of companions. Their lives are all tragedies. Born to fight and die and you'll understand why it's a sad story if you watch Star Wars the Clone Wars from 2008
I've always loved the scene when the droid control ship crashes into the ground kicking up a huge dust cloud and the Clones are advancing fearlessly despite not being able to see what's in front of them or what they're shooting at
Keep in mind, they were originally meant to be detached from fear in combat situations. They were meant to be like droids themselves.
The only convincing thing about the Anakin-Padme love story is John Williams' theme for it, "Across the Stars."
It’s a great theme. One of the best. One thing the prequels had was killer music John Williams still at the top of his game.
You do realize that Anakin has literally zero experience in the ways of romance due to his commitment to the Jedi Order, right? And that Padmé has very little herself due to also starting her career at a young age? They're basically that naïve couple many of us knew of in high school who were so convinced they were each other's soulmates that they ended up getting married not long after graduating... and then you run into one of them at your 10-year reunion only to learn that they've since divorced (in this story, they just don't get to that point).
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy I know what you’re saying, but I still think the romance could have been better with less stilted dialogue and less of Anakin creepily staring at Padme…
@@MikeVernonProd Yes, I've long argued that a more deft screenwriter and a more actor-friendly co-director (since I do feel Lucas is still a solid director from a purely visual standpoint) would've kept at least 90% of the prequels' problems from ever even manifesting. But even so, as they are, it's still not _that_ difficult to read between the lines here...
John Williams' music is easily the most consistently good thing about all of these films.
I’m an American in Japan. There is a road here called Kamino. I asked my wife what it meant and she said it means “God’s road. Kami is Japanese for a god. The No makes it possessive in Japanese. I was blown away. So Kamino where they played god and created life is “God’s road”
"Camino" with a "c" also means "path/road" in Spanish and some Latin-based languages.
32:34 actually yes. He’s playing both sides to establish his power. Clones fight for the Republic; droids for Dooku’s side of things. Clone wars tv show explains a lot of what happens between II and III
Clone Wars TV shows contradicts ep 1-3. Filoni screwed it all up after season 3.
The fact that you need multiple seasons of a TV show to explain the movies years later is a pretty good indication that the movies were terrible.
@@stigkenobi7525 How so?
The clones fight for the republic. The final scene just shows Chancelor Palpatine overlooking the republic clone armies.
The whole thing with Master Sifo-Dyas, who placed the order for the clone army, is never really explained in the movies. I'm sure it comes up in some of the other Star Wars media, but they really just left movie audiences in the dark with that one.
Seriously, its not like they had different writters/directors for these movies. Lucas could have actualy made TPM be part of the larger story by including Sifo-Dyas in it.
I think the EU also explained why Dooku erased Kamino.
Tadah, here is where the "I hate sand" memes came from. XD
Padme was the youngest Queen in Naboo's history at 14 years old. So the age gap between her and Anakin is only a few years but they are both adults at this point in time.
You need to watch Rouge One A Star Wars Story after episode 3 as there's a connection between episode 3 & 4. Plus just to let you know that Boba Fett from the original trilogy is the little boy in this episode.
133 useless minutes, just read the crawler at the start of episode IV
"Why do all the Brothers love their sister's in these?"
I busted out laughing. My little 5 yrs old nephew at the time he saw this. Asked the same question.
Yes, Yoda walks with a cane because he is old, however remember what Yoda said in Ep5; "The Force is my ally, and a powerful ally it is."
Doesn't really make sense with the end of Last Jedi, does it?
@@DrLipkin it’s better if we forget those
@@mercifulsnake226 This is my point.
Pretty sure the cane in the past was an affectation to make people underestimate him.
@@Kazeromaru I believe he really does use the force to enhance his reactions and agility. I love how after the fight is over, he retrieves his cane and you see the physical toll it took on him as he hunches and relies heavily on his cane as he limps away.
For the prequels your reactions are so genuine and innocent and insightful for a SW rookie, love it.
The "Ohh..." after Obi says "Why do I feel like you are gonna be the death of me?" *priceless*
Epic foreshadowing!!
After this movie, the animated series The Clone Wars takes place, giving much more detail into the time span between Ep2 and Ep3. It's a fan favorite too, so I would recommend to watch it at some point in your Star Wars Journey. The war went on for three years and Ep3 shows the final moments of it.
For example, the series also clears up some things about the mysterious case of Jedi Master Sifo Dyas and his part in the creation of the Clone Army.
Absolutely agree with this comment. Though, I realize Cassie probably won't due to likely time constraints. If she doesn't, I hope someone can pass on that *a lot* of character growth, development, and plot occurs between II and III that explains a hell of a lot.
Agree..watch the animat d series first before watching Ep 3
@@KurustheGreat I hope she still does. I would think that she wants to see The Mandalorian at some point and for that TCW and Rebels would be highly recommended.
If she does decide to watch TCW someone should tell her to watch it in chronological order, not release order. Otherwise this wouldn't make sense xD
I have also seen some other emerging reaction channels, at least one of them has already started with The Clone Wars.
"But how come Jedis can't have love or attachments?"
* Darth Vadering intensifies *
They can and luke prove it
