Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - It has been three years since the Clone Wars began. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) rescue Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from General Grievous, the commander of the droid armies, but Grievous escapes. Suspicions are raised within the Jedi Council concerning Chancellor Palpatine, with whom Anakin has formed a bond. Asked to spy on the chancellor, and full of bitterness toward the Jedi Council, Anakin embraces the Dark Side.

I dunno if anyone has said this yet, but by killing Sidious to save Luke, Anakin completes the prophecy of the chosen one. The two active Sith Lords are killed, and no apprentice to take their place.
In a movie most fans hated, many years later, Luke himself actually did recognize this moment DID lead the force to balance "for a while".
Until the sequels happened and pissing off everyone and there grandma
true he did bring that balance. the darkside had to rise first cause the light was to high up
Yeah as the Jedi say, it's about balance
Also note that so long as Aniken left the light to join the dark, and if the rest of the Jedi had been eradicated, the dark side was basically up two while the light had zero. The force balanced that out by granting Padme twins, two for the light. The concept of balance can be seen throughout the whole series where the emperors existence justified the force manifesting and spitting out someone just as powerful in Aniken.
Padmes life never was in danger until Anakin turned to the dark side. It became a self fulfilling prophecy
Plus she was caring too super powered force beings inside of her Luke and Leia there's a lot of theories out there saying because they were so powerful in the force.. Ultimately taking her life force from her...But the real world people have died from heartbreak even Carrie Fisher's mother died from her heart break when Carrie Fisher died the mother died a day or so after..
@@Pinkielover yup, the heartstrings(Chordae tendineae) can break from extreme sadness/stress and cause the heart to not be able to beat.
@@Pinkielover its been confirmed that palpatine killed padme
You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it
Well in Clone Wars shes in trouble all the time lol.
The best part of the movie to me is when Chancellor Palpatine says, “He was too dangerous to be kept alive.” after Anakin kills Dooku. Then when Windu says the exact same thing to Anakin about Palpatine. It really just goes to show the line between the Jedi and the sith isn’t that much.
Well, no, it doesn’t. Mace had good reason to kill Palpatine. Anakin wanted to keep Palpatine alive in order to learn how to stop death, not out of respect for the Jedi Code.
@@GrapeCheckerBoard except that it was a flawed Jedi code, one that taught people to suppress their feelings instead of regulating them. Plus the Jedi Order had become too dogmatic, arrogant, and too detached from others. They allowed themselves to serve corrupt senators instead of the best interests of the ordinary people.
Episode 3 does a decent job of showing why he turns to the dark side, but the Clone Wars series goes so much more in depth of why he distrusts the jedi and why he would turn. There's a lot more pain and foreshadowing for Anakin in that series
And the pay-off in the last season is superb.
@@frankwitte1022 it really was!
I love the Clone Wars so much
The reason for his turn starts in Episode I. And they do a superb job of showing why he turns to the dark side. The Clone Wars is redundant in terms of what you mentioned, the only thing it added was how they treated Ahsoka, which is a nice addition to his fall but not necessary. We see plenty why he distrusts the Jedi in the prequels, you’re really hyperbolizing the “depth” clone wars added. Well obviously there’s more foreshadowing, it’s a 7 season show vs. 3 movies, the only pain Anakin goes through in clone wars is losing Ahsoka, and then she’s brought right back in Season 7 to set up Rebels. In the prequels, Anakin goes through much more pain. TCW is an okay addition, but it’s not necessary at all, the only thing it truly adds is humanizing the clones.
@@freebandz4332 I agree
"I would go to the dark side for my wife and kids. Not even a question. Give me that dark side."
*Five minutes later*
"Dude you're gonna kill thousands of people and children just for your girl and your kid? That's selfish"
*Literally thirty seconds later*
"When you love someone you stay by them no matter what"
Lol what a rollercoaster you went on.
QuiGon knew the Jedi were slipping, bad. He was the father figure Anakin needed that would have trained him and gave him everything he needed to bring balance. His death was where everything went south.
And that's why the song during the Qui Gon and Obi Wan vs Darth Maul fight is called Duel of the Fates. It's a battle for Anakin's fate, and by extension the path the galaxy and the Jedi Order will take
To clarify, the whole "bring balance to the force" did not mean to equalize the dark side and light side. The prophecy was to bring balance to the force by destroying the sith, which are an abomination of the force. Anakin's love for his son destroyed Darth Vader, and then he proceeded to destroy the Emperor to save his son's life. He fulfilled the prophecy and was the chosen one.
False. Leaving only light is not balance. Both Jedi and Sith had to go, as they were the source of the Force conflict. A new start happened after.
@@ItApproaches false, according to Lucas himself, Balance means the destruction of the Sith. And the purification of the hypocrisy of the Jedi.
@@deathsticks1776 And how do you purify the Jedi? Oh right, eradication.
@@ItApproaches exactly
@@deathsticks1776 So you agree. Well that was a pointless circle.
It still just tears me up….Vader being “created” as Luke and Leia are being born. So emotional.
Anakin was much stronger with the force and in combat but he could be manipulated very easily. He was a slave all his life and the chancellor was like a mentor and father like figure ever since he got to the Jedi temple. Then obviously Anakin knowing what his last dream led to he had the one about Padme. He was vulnerable and would do anything to save her so the Emperor took advantage of him and his weakness, which was Padme. It's crazy what Anakin could of become Lucas said his full potential (without losing all his limbs and all that) he would of been twice the power of the Emperor and quite clearly the most powerful force user ever. At 12 he made a battle droid with the height, body shape, fighting style and lightsaber of Darth Maul and beat it multiple times without losing. Like Palpatine said in this one "they know you're power will be too strong to control" and in this he said also to Yoda that Anakin will be more powerful than both of them. Anakin's potential was off the charts.
OMG 😲 I wish we could have seen that him at his full potential as a jedi
@@MajorReacts 100%, he could of still reached his full potential even as Vader if he didn't lose the battle with Obi-wan and lose his limbs and a lot of his mid-chlorians. Would be great to see a Jedi or Sith with that power (Ideally as a jedi though😅).
For saying this is a star wars film, this movie is sad because Anakin's journey to becoming Darth Vader was heartbreaking and Obi Wan and Padme having lose this person they care about to the dark side is tragic!
It’s funny how, for people watching the films for the first time now, Palpatine’s identity is something to wonder about and figure out. It wasn’t really like that originally. Anyone who followed _Star Wars_ at all originally knew perfectly well that Palpatine was Sidious. There was simply no mystery around it. In the original merchandising, magazine articles, and literature surrounding the original trilogy, though not in the films themselves, the Emperor was referred to as Emperor Palpatine. So, when the prequels came out many years later, and there was talk of a Senator Palpatine in _Episode I,_ played by the same actor who had played the Emperor no less, there was no question for fans who that was. It was only a question for newbies.
You mean “Butt chin”! 😂
Major should watch City of Vice with Butt Chin.
He did in fact save the ones he loved (Luke) and destroy the sith and bring balance to the force in the end. Return of the Jedi is such a powerful movie after you've got this whole back story.
That sound after Dooku gets decapitated is so intense and I’ve like never heard a lightsaber sound like that! Such a cool little moment that lets you know “this is not normal. Something is very wrong with what just happened.”
I really like this movie it’s so gosh darn cool!
Anakin brought balance to the force in Return of the Jedi. They just never specified when he would fulfill the prophecy.
Episode III and Episode V are the two best movies of the original 6 movies. Episode III pulls every emotion out of you. I remember seeing it in the theatre for the premier. It was amazing.
Obi-wan was never able to be the father figure that Anakin needed thus Palpatine filled that role, grooming Anakin over time to be his ultimate apprentice. Darth Maul & Count Dooku were only placeholders for Anakin to take over. Qui-gon would never have let that happen had he been alive.
It will be good to watch the Clone wars before the Mandolorian, because there are some spoilers and personages in Mandolorian from Clone wars and one of the main line was started in second season of clone wars and exist through all show
...and Rebels.
Definitely watch the clone wars animated series next and rebels next after clone wars!
@@cormaccorrigan9086 how
@@cormaccorrigan9086 stop trolling
Definetely watch the 2003 clone wars first (Because it's only 2 eps)
Another good reaction Major.
Rouge One is a must watch, possibly my favorite Star Wars movie since Return Of The Jedi. The Mandolorian Series was EPIC! It takes place after Return Of The Jedi.
Just a quick note, if you notice Luke Skywalker tells R2 to stay with the ship several times and he never listens. On the planet Mustafar, Anakin was the last person to tell R2 to stay with the ship, and when he did Anakin never returned.
How come nobody can spell "rogue" any more? Has education really gotten that bad these days? "Rouge" is a fuckin' COLOUR, for fucks sake!
@@Garryck-1 it’s just a typo, relax.
@@Garryck-1 LoL whoa, chill for a second, typos happen all the time. I can admit I wasn’t even paying attention, normally I would’ve caught that. Good looking out, thank you for catching all of us bad spellers out there. Keep policing the comment sections. Job well done…
@@Garryck-1 found the Brit
Interesting.
Great reaction!!! And glad to hear you're willing to continue down this journey. To your question of whether or not the shows are as good, imo, Mandalorian and Clone Wars provide some of THE BEST star wars content there is. But it's best to do all the movies first (release order), THEN clone wars, THEN Rebels, THEN Mandalorian. That's how you'll understand all the references. Good luck! And we're here with you!
Great beanie too!
Ayy thanks for the support Daniel and hell yeah you messing with the beanie 🤣
I think he should watch clone wars before Han Solo if he's even gonna watch it because it has things he wouldn't understand
Agreed on TCW (assuming you mean THE Clone Wars (2008) and not the 2003 show that was called Clone Wars). TCW made the PT way better and gave it all so much more depth. To me TCW and the OT is the best Star Wars content. I like Mandalorian but it’s not the best imo, not yet anyway. But great never the less.
This movie cemented Darth Sidious' place as one of the greatest villains in cinematic history.
A lot of older fans prefer episodes 4, 5 & 6 but in my opinion this is the best film of the series. An absolute masterpiece. I was 9 years old when I went to see this in theaters & it broke my little heart 😂 to this day I still tear up during Obi Wan’s speech at the end
Congrats on the baby big dog! Being a father is such a great experience, as scary as it may be. Hah. Best to you and yours brother. Appreciate the upload as well! See you on the next Major.
Thank you Ryan for this comment brother it means alot I'm ready for my lil man to come
a lil fact from the star wars battlefront 2 game, during the story when order 66 happens for the clones to wipe out the jedi one of the clones afterwards stated they were glad they had helmets on because they would try and fight back the tears while shooting their own friends because they couldnt stand what they were doing in their own head since they were essentially mind controlled to do all of it.
19:32 I only just noticed that Anakins very first move in the fight, a flip leading into an attack, is the very same last move he attempts, but on Flat Ground at first, High Ground later (he also tries to go even further and land BEHIND Obi-Wan later on, since Obi-Wan "underestimates his power")
Its basically the exact same move Obi Wan used to defeat Darth Maul. Only difference is that Maul DID underestimate Obi Wan. Sounds like word salad, but Anakin is the one who was underestimating Obi Wan's estimation of Anakin's skills.
I don't think anyone has mentioned the trap that The Emperor pulled on Vader with his life suit. The suit was meant not to be perfect, that Vader would always be in pain inside the suit. In some ways the suit even causing pain. Vader would always be using smalls bits of the force to keep his pain levels manageable. This would mean Vader could never really focus his complete power against the Emperor. That's nerd sh!t from the books and comics that us original trilogy fans devoured when we had no more movies. Love your reactions Major! Keep them coming.
He was NEVER gonna be at "full power in that suit" his force ability..while still superb..was NOWHERE NEAR what his potential could have been had he stayed " whole".
@@johndesalvo3348 I didn't say he was going to be at full power in the suit. Just that the suit was meant to keep him in check under the Emperor, so there could be little to no threat from Vader using the force on the Emperor. We don't know for sure if damage alone done to him by Obi-Wan would have completely hindered him from ever using the force (upon time to heal) to a greater degree than Palpatine, and neither did the Emperor so he hedged his bet with a "trap" of the suit. And I'd argue that Anakin being the chosen one of the prophecy to restore balance I think the possibility of him becoming more powerful than the Emperor, even chopped up and scarred is a good reason for Palpatine to take those extra steps to ensure Vader stayed in line.
Seeing someon react to grievous having 4 lightsabers reminds of all the cool stuff introduced in the prequels that I am so familiar to now that doesn’t excite me like it did that first time. Cool to see someone else enjoy those moments
Your face during the Anakin and Obi-Wan fight was unironicly the most genuine reaction I have seen!🤣
The way I look at it he did eventually destroy the Sith. It just took him a while but the prophecy wasnt wrong lol
I like how the jedi thought the prophecy was wrong, they thought maybe Luke is meant to be the chosen one not his father, but Anakin was the chosen one the whole time Luke was just there to help his father fulfill his destiny!
Love your channel. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making and uploading this reaction. Really means a lot to one old Star Wars fan. Next beer on me, my friend. Hope you are safe and happy these days.
Thank you Christoff for this comment this is what keeps me going. Thank you for all the support
been watching starwars literally all my life and episode 3 always has and always will be my fave of the franchise
The sequel trilogy destroys the Star Wars mythos and focuses on characters that aren’t remotely compelling. And George Lucas had no involvement with them either. Clone Wars on the other hand is awesome which had George involved with the development. And Dave Filoni (who also has given us Rebels, Mandalorian-with Favreau, and their spin-offs) truly gets it. The sequels don’t even feel like Star Wars, but those shows absolutely do. So, I would recommend watching them instead. Unless of course you was to learn firsthand just how bad the sequels are. I like to act like they aren’t canon because they truly destroy a great story.
The Sequels are genuine Star Wars, just like The Clone Wars. You are smoking some crazy shit.
Also, Dave Filoni has next-to-zero involvement with The Mandalorian.
....or let him watch it all and make his own opinion ?
Yeah I got to watch them all I'm hooked on star wars I gotta see where this goes bad or good
@@danielgarza8219 the sequels are trash nobody considered them canon
@@danielgarza8219 What are you even talking about? Filoni’s heavily involved with it and Jon Favreau also gets it and they each consult with George Lucas himself. And George has said that the new movies are not his Star Wars. Mark Hamill disliked how Luke was portrayed. Marcia Lucas hated what they did to the fictional world too. The way they treat the characters from the original movies… I don’t know how you can possibly consider yourself a fan of the OT and like the sequel trilogy.
Congratulations on completing the Star Wars Saga! There are a couple more spin-off movies and TV shows you might enjoy, like Rogue One, The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, and The Madelorian, however you have finished the story of Star Wars as intended by George Lucas (the creator), don’t touch the so called “episodes 7, 8, and 9” with a 200 foot pole, they are awful, and were made completely against the will of George Lucas, so Disney could steal your money by baiting nostalgia rather then making a good story, George Lucas says Star Wars is episodes 1-6 no more no less, Disney can go jump in a river
Lol damn Al 🤣 ypu messing with it but yeah I still want continue this journey bc I'm hooked
@@MajorReacts The journey is over, there is no more story, it was completed when Anakin Skywalker the main character of Star Wars died, however in the new movies Han, Luke ,and Leia, become losers and pathetic failures, who achieved nothing, in a strange attempt to prop up the new character (Rey) who has no personality no connection to our hero’s and is perfect in every way (because bad writing), she legitimately never looses once, also the New Republic your interested in, doesn’t exist in these movie, instead the galaxy is run by an Empire 2.0 (The First Order) who’s rise to power is never explained in the the movies, because the people behind the scenes didn’t care about Star Wars or good story telling they just wanted to make an Original Trilogy rip-off, there’s not even new planets concepts in the so called “sequel” trilogy, just old planets concepts with new names, which goes to show how much these movies lack creativity, and that’s not even getting into the giant plot holes these movies retroactively cause throughout the rest of the saga, and other insane decision which completely damage George Lucas’s vision, but I don’t want to go to far into detail just in case if you do decide to watch those cinematic abominations
@@alcarbo8613 dude it's just a movie , relax
Rebels is a lot more valid then bad batch my guy some of the best Star Wars content out there
Good eye on noticing the chancellor as the emperor.. That just so happens to be the very same actor who played him in the original movie from the 80's also. Pretty wild!
A pregnant woman’s belly doesn’t shrink right after birth. They weren’t hiding anything, it just stays that way a while. Well I mean the birth was kinda secret but the belly-part wasn’t part of it. But smart thinking haha
Well, don't wanna be the know-it-all, but let me, as a big star wars fan, tell you differently this time. While I agree with you, that the belly doesn't shrink immediately, Padmé was indeed staged to appear pregnant. You can read so in the "Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith" Novel. But if you trust me on this one, I shall write it out here: "To Naboo, send her body..." Yoda stretched his head high, as though tasting a current in the Force. "Pregnant, she must still appear. Hidden, safe, the children must be kept. Foundation of the new Jedi Order, they will be."
Of course you could read it as: "Send her to Naboo FAST before the belly shrinks.", but this is not the case. In a another book, i don't know the name for it, but it's one of those where there are pictures and describtions to everything, there is also a Picture of dead Padmé saying: "Padmé goes to her grave, made to look as if she was still pregnant"
And out of the universe, I would, from my own personal experience, say that you can tell pretty good if a woman just gave birth, or she is 9 months pregnant. :D Cheers and I hope I didn't annoy you :D
@@dr.demontale3250 Lol thanks. I actually know that but my point is that his reaction to the belly would be the same either way bcs a pregnant belly stays that way for like 8 weeks so regardless it would still look that way If they didn’t surgically change it
They did bury Padmé with a fake belly. For the record.
@@danielgarza8219 Good and short answer to everything haha
I still to this day am pissed that he could’ve just not done this and Padme would’ve lived 😂😢
The major difference between Anakin and Luke is one grew up being manipulated by someone he considered a friend, and the other grew up being allowed to have attachments.
Vader brings balance to the force through the love of his son and saving him by killing the Emperor defeating the last sith lord and bringing balance once again to the force. This was Lucas plan and yes I'm ignoring the new trilogy here as that is what the creator intented. Check out 7,8&9 to see how it movies the lore forward!
im a big SW fan.. i own over 200 books.. I'm 38 years old.. when I was 7 years old my Nana told me there would be a cool movie on the T.V. at noon. Turns out it was Star Wars: A New Hope. I fell in love with it, Then she told me there was the 2nd one on right after and then the 3rd one. so i had seen the episodes 4,5,6 in one day and my life had been changed forever. Then when i was 16 years old my Nana took me out of school early at 11am to take me to see episode 1. My Nana was the best. I miss her so much but she made me the nerd/geek i am today becuz of the faithful at age 7.
Clone Wars really is amazing. Because it takes place before this movie you know what the series is building up to. The last season overlaps with the the movie. It really hits hard and makes this movie hit harder when you rewatch it after the clone wars. You just get so attached to the clones and the jedi. Like my favorite characters are the clones, you'll just fall in love with them. I honestly couldn't recommend it more. The first 5 seasons were done on cartoon network and was supposed to be a kids show. So some epsiodes in the first 2 seasons are a bit kiddish but still enjoyable, but even from season 1 you see where the creators want to go. It gets darker as it goes on. By season 5, cartoon network was like this is not the kid show we wanted, it's not even a kid show, you're canceled. Then netflix did a season and Disney did the last season. It's such an emotional journey. I cried during the last episode. I don't really cry watching anything, I mostly get shocked. The most I normally do is watery eyes and a tear or two falling. I sobbed at the end of clone wars. And when I rewatched it I cried again, which is rarer for something to hit me like that twice.
You'll definitely need to catch up on star wars and what's already out because there's so much to come. Besides the sequels, there's Rogue One and Solo. Besides clone wars and Mandalorian and Rebels, there's the first season of Bad Batch. To come there's an Obi-Wan show, a show that precludes Rogue One, Ahsoka who's a character from clone wars, and a Boba Fett show. Hayden Christensen who plays Anakin is going to be in both the Obi-Wan and Ahsoka shows.
As for the original trilogy and the prequels, George Lucas often says its the story of Anakin Skywalker. He says its about the tragedy of his life. And I think Anakin was more susceptible to the dark side than Luke. Anakin grew up a slave where really the only thing that was his was his emotions, then he leaves his mom behind at 9 for the jedi where he's told to basically ignore his emotions and don't let them affect him. We already see he's an emotional person who lets his emotions guide him. On top of that the jedi fear him because of his powers and because his future is clouded and he knows they don't trust him from an early age. And at the same time he has Palpatine manipulating him from the time he arrives on coruscant to the events of this movie. And then he's leading a war for 3 years. That's another thing clone wars does, we see Anakin slowly becoming darker and darker and Palpatine manipulating the Jedi and the Senate. Luke has a stable childhood and doesn't get told to ignore his emotions and isn't manipulated by a sith for years. He's relatively happy. So while there's still a possibility for him, there's not as much pushing him towards that way. It's ultimately his love for his father that keeps him from turning and the mutual love they have for each other that pushes Vader to save him, kill Palpatine and bring balance to the force.
For the sequel movies. It's hard to say. This comes from someone who loves the prequels. They're all okay movies, but not really star wars movies. Part of the problem is Disney had no plan and let each director write their own script and do whatever they want with the film. So there's not really a cohesive storyline like the first two trilogies and not as connected to them like the prequels are to the originals. George Lucas had an idea for the sequels and a storyline that connected to the previous films. The sequels don't really continue anything from the previous films. While the original cast are in them, they're like side characters and the have completely new characters to follow. Which is fine, but it doesn't feel connected (to me anyway). Force Awakens is a solid movie but I don't think as good as the preceding films in a star wars sense. It was well received when it came out. Although I think people wished there was more focus on the Skywalkers and it just decreases in quality as part of the trilogy. Last Jedi has some good moments but has some pretty useless characters that came out of nowhere and didn't really advance the plot overall. Even within the movie itself, it felt everything was overblown for such a small plot. Don't even get me started on Luke's character. (I think Last Jedi was such a mess because the director wasn't even a Star Wars fan, just a friend of Kathlenn Kennedy. JJ Abrams who did 7 and 9 was a fan so they were alright but could've been better. Rogue One director was a superfan and you can tell when you watch it. People working on the shows are superfans and again you can tell and the quality of them and Rogue One are so much better in comparison to the sequel trilogy.) Rise of Skywalker had so many small detail plot points the were problematic especially with what we already know about the force from the other two trilogies. I won't go into details because it could lead to a spoiler. Abrams came back because 7 was a success and 8 didn't do so well. He was basically told to fix everything. It was shown to a test audience and did horrendously bad people were walking out in the middle of the film. They brought is George Lucas for help on how to fix it before release. And you can tell when you watch it they were trying to fix it. The pacing and editing at the beginning of the movie is weird. They have at least one aborted storyline. You can tell they're trying to build to something and at some point during the movie they just let it go. There are also major plot points I have issues with because nothing is explained and you can tell its just a we need to fix this trilogy thing. I don't mind the ending considering where they took the films, I think it's pretty cool and has a lot of parallels to previous trilogies. And there are some cool moments. But I'm more likely to rewatch moments from the sequels than the films themselves. The trilogy just doesn't feel like an end for the Skywalkers which it should have been. I think part of why there's disappointment is because we see the Marvels movies and that universe. They have a set plan for the films and how they're connected and where is it building to before they have scripts written. They just needed to do that for three star wars movies and instead made it a free for all. If they even put a portion of the forethought into the sequels that went into the MCU, there would've been a huge improvement. But Disney was like, it's star wars, it'll sell. But sales went down as the sequels went on. You see a decrease in the total gross of the film from 7-9. And I don't mean to sound all negative. The cinematography is good and there's action and cool lightsaber fights and some of the characters are written well. But as part of the star wars universe and in comparison to literally all of the other star wars content, including Rogue One and Solo, it just doesn't hold up or mesh well. You'll probably enjoy them when you watch them because I did. I liked them. But then the more you sit on it and think about it and then watch anything else Star Wars, the enjoyment just dies down. I don't mean to make you go in with low expectations or preconceptions but you know people don't like it. So this way when you watch and wonder why people don't like it, you'll have something to reference.
Moral of the story, the fandom is in total agreement that Rogue One, Mandalorian and Clone Wars are good. Absolutely no divide.
Anakin even let his emotions guide him back when he insisted on podracing to try and raise the money for Qui-Gon & company to get their ship repaired.
I was waiting my ass off for this one ...I can't lie...but I got some butt left...congratulations on your Baby!!!...your gonna have sooo much fun watching starwars again with your child...I and my entire family are so happy for you!!!...and oh yeah....epic reaction to an epic movie...my family thanks you major...much love
I'm excited for his arrival and thank you for coming along this journey with me I can't wait to see the rest of the movies and Tv shows
Since Luke and Leia are force sensitive, Padme could sorta feel things at times.
Hence her suddenly having an emotional breakdown, at the same time Anakin was killing the kids.
Luke, Leia, and Padme could feel Anakin's pain. Same as when Anakin was being operated on, Padme could feel Anakin screaming in pain.
Anakin brought balance to the Force in ROTJ! When he rejected the Dark Side & stopped being Vader & became Anakin again. The balance came when Anakin gave his life to save his son by killing Palpatine, getting rid of the Sith = himself as well as Sidious. This might not sound like a balance but it is. The Sith was removed & the Jedi could start over. So what Anakin was destined to do as the Chosen One never happened in the Prequels, it happened in the OT, in ROTJ. What I really love about this is that Anakin had never been able to bring balance without the help & compassion of his son. They did it together in a way.
Obi-Wan failed Anakin because he loved him. When he goes to Padmé's place looking for him and she refuses to believe he's gone to the Dark Side and Obi-Wan leaves but just before he does he asks her if Anakin is the father of her children and that he's sorry for what's happening you realize that, of course, he always knew they were together and he played dumb even though it was forbidden because he loved both Anakin and Padmé instead of maybe talking to him about it.
And after their duel he couldn't bring himself to finish Anakin and Vader survived to kill his way across the Galaxy for 20 years until Luke finally redeemed him. We assume that's the best scenario and Anakin needed to live in order for Luke to be able to topple the Empire because he wasn't strong enough to defeat the Emperor without Vader's help, but I've always wondered what would've happened if Obi-Wan had made sure Anakin died in Mustafar. Who would've been the Emperor's new apprentice? How would that have changed the course of things? What would Luke's path have looked like without the crucial bit of having his father be one of the Alliance's main enemies?
And yeah, Luke was able to withstand the Dark Side even if at that point he wasn't as strong in the Force as Anakin at the time he turned, but remember that Luke didn't have the same inner conflict and anger Anakin had. He had a mostly normal childhood being raised by Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru on Tatooine instead of growing up as a slave and all the crap Anakin went through. Luke was always way more stable than Anakin, plus I'd argue he's also way more powerful in the Force since he was able to hold his own against Vader himself without much training, whereas Vader was trained by legit Jedi Masters at the height of the Old Republic for years and years. My boy Luke just had a crash course with Yoda in a swamp for like a month or whatever, and then read some manuals Obi-Wan had at home. Anakin is the math professor who won the Fields Medal and Luke is Matt Damon's character in "Good Will Hunting," basically.
Balance to the force.
10,000 jedi > 2 sith
2 jedi (Obi & Yoda) = 2 sith (Sidius & Vader)
Seems pretty balanced to me.
Djdjdhdh, right?! XD
“a prophecy misread, may have been” understatement of the century, Master Yoda
According to Lucas Balance means the destruction of the Sith so we don't get balance until Return of the Jedi
I always thought the same thing. Anakin did bring balance. If anything, the Jedi were arrogant and just plain not thinking about what balance meant.
Ashoka and Mual and a few others were left too.
But that isn't what balance means according to George Lucas. The Sith were unbalancing the Force. It's like a diet. You eat a variety of good foods for a balanced diet. The moment you start eating bad foods, you unbalance your diet.
In the Return if the Jedi he destroys the emperor and returns to the good side of the force and becomes a Jedi again so Anakin was the one who brought balance to the force as he is the only one who experienced the force from both sides. He knew the force like the back of his hand better than any other Jedi.
No, the prophecy referred to Anakin. Remember in episode 6 Darth Vader picked up the emperor and threw him into the pit thus fulfilling the prophecy. In the end Anakin Skywalker destroyed the Sith.
I loved these reactions bro. Honest, unbiased reaction. We cried with you. *knucks
The wildest part about Anakin v Obi Wan these men fought,trained,lived, and bleeding together they know each others moves before they can even think of it
You must watch The Mandalorian my brotha..SERIOUSLY...lol
I love to see people experience this story for the first time. A lot of people hate the new ones, but since you have fresh eyes and no emotional attachment to a trilogy I’d say don’t leave them out. I don’t think I’ve seen a reaction vid of all nine of the main ones. I’d love to know your thoughts.
There are major differences between why Luke managed to resist the Dark Side while Anakin couldn't. Anakin was manipulated by Palpatine since the age of 9. While Palpatine could only work with Luke for... what... an hour? Luke also came from a much happier place by comparison. Far from an easy life but he was always free. Anakin never had true freedom. He was born into slavery, he felt trapped by the rules of the Jedi & then was a slave to the Dark Side & Palpatine. Only death freed him. Luke was never that trapped & had better links to the Light. And always had the luxury of optimism. When could Anakin truly ever be optimistic about anything? I will give Anakin credit, though, for resisting the Dark Side for as long as he did. When going through the Clone Wars as well one understands even more the Darkness he had to face & resisted up until ROTS. Anakin wanted to stay in the Light, he wanted to be part of the Jedi & be accepted. He became weak in the end, yes, but he remained strong for a long time. And considering all the work Palpatine had to put into turning Anakin I am surprised he even gave it a shot with Luke at all. Turning Luke in ROTJ is next to a mission impossible. Sure, Luke felt the Dark Side for a few minutes & gave into it, but he never embraced it or turned. That's why he just as swiftly could walk away from it. Luke resisted because the Dark Side had nothing to offer him as it had to his father. This is why the son found the way to resist while the father gave in. If Anakin had never felt that the Dark Side had anything to offer he had never given in either. That is my firm belief.
Bro. You have the best instincts. Almost everything you predicted came to fruition.
Crazy irony is his vision of Padame dying was true but clouded because he is the catalyst for her death
My husband called him Heineken for years. And with his accent, it sounded like Queen Armadillo.
You get it my friend. The force is strong with you. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Love the reaction, wish you reacted to some of the most importance parts of the scenes you shown. Like the The Darth Plageuis story, the reveal of Sidious, "I am the Senate line" and the whole start to Windu v Palpatine, the "He is too dangerous to be kept alive" the beginning of Order 66 is a must.
Imo, in Episode VI, when Vader throws The Emperor into the reactor, I think I understood what his motivations were. Like, here, Anakin suffers greatly, tormented, with constant threats made regarding his future. Luke though? Even when facing Palpatine head on, being tortured to an inch of death, never gave in. What Vader was seeing right now was his Son being a better man than he ever was. He'd wonder what Luke would have done, were Luke in his position years ago, and realized that he had his answer right in front of him.
It's this moment, where Vader would refuse to lose anymore. Where Anakin really actually burst out, and would bring peace to the galaxy
ANAKIN WAS THE CHOSEN ONE . He destroyed the Emperor and himself as Darth Vader on episode 6, and brought balance to the force.
Anakin/Vader on Mustafar 🌋 "I am more powerful than the chancellor I can overthrow him"...20 Year's later He does 🤣⚡🤘
16:10 "This hurts." Yeah, dude. Order 66 is painful a.f. every time. Every. Single. Time.
Anakin's plea with Padme to join him and rule with him is so similar to his plea with Luke in Empire Strikes Back: join me and we can rule together.
You shed tears. You are one of us...... one...... of...... us.
He brought the balance to the force by killing the emperor in episode 6. So he was the chosen one after all.
Once a Jedi turns to the dark side...the dark side of the "force" will dominate his future. And all of his actions. The force...the dark side
of the force is the problem. Once a Jedi starts down the dark path...a nightmare will ensue.
The Dark Side corrupts once one allows it in, so Anakin was firmly in its grasp once he killed the Separatist leaders. He held no true hatred for the Jedi, and killed them because of Palpatine's lie.
But the Separatists, he hated them, and let it fuel him as he massacred them all, and only then, did his eyes turn Sith yellow.
Lmao! The intro! Great point on the "i cant breathe" i never realized that is directly foreshadowing darth vaders breathing noise. Wow. I never caught that til now! Thanks!
George Lucas has said it personally. Anakin IS the chosen one. Even after murdering the sand people village, even after murdering everyone in the Jedi temple including the children, even after becoming Darth Vader. Anakin is STILL the chosen one that ENTIRE TIME. He does fullfil the prophecy by both killing Darth Sidious AND himself. Those are George Lucas exact words. Which unfortunately was wrong in the new Disney cannon because Sidious never truly died. And used Sith alchemy and necromancy to transfer his soul from clone body to clone body. Even though they kept falling apart and rotting on him because they couldn't hold all his power. Anakin IS the chosen one. And it isn't said specifically but Palpatine not only considered himself the Sith Ari (chosen one). But after the defeat of Vader in Mustafar was only 80% Palpatine's power. Unable to kill his master and take his place as the most powerful Sith. Which considering that. And that Palpatine embodies every single Sith trait and sin and was the pinnacle of the Sith philosophy he was basically right. And was the Sith chosen one.
As you suspected, Anakin brought balance to the force in Episode 6 when he destroyed Darth Sidious/The Emperor after being inspired to return to the light out of love for his son Luke.
Here's Star Wars's creator George Lucas breaking it down real nicely:
ruclips.net/video/xgBpoiC8qGA/видео.html
I can relate to your feelings about Episode 3. It's a great film but it's also really depressing. That's why I like to follow it up with the Original Trilogy, especially Episode 6 where everything gets resolved again.
The happy ending of Return of the Jedi hits different after seeing the tragedy of Revenge of the Sith.
Luke ended up becoming everything his father failed to be and inspired him to come back and fulfill his destiny, this time out of selfless love, not the selfish obsession he had troughout the Prequels that Sidious used to manipulate him.
And Sidious was only able to get to him like that because he lacked a caring, wise father figure like Qui-Gon. Had Qui-Gon not died then Anakin would've propably not fallen to the dark side.
Man George Lucas is a genius. What a story. I'm sad that he sold the franchise since his absence is painfully noticable in the Sequels but I'm also happy he got to retire from filmmaking in peace.
This reaction series was fun. Loved how invested you got into the whole thing. Cheers!
For me, the quality of the original trilogy is top, but episode 3 is up there with them for the top movies. I've always described the sequels as good movies but bad star wars movies. Still worth a watch, and it will be nice to do those then come back to Clone Wars.
Remaining order to get all of the references and characters:
7 -> 8 -> 9 -> Clone Wars -> Rebels -> Mandalorian
Also bad batch if he wants to
awesome! way to get the 2 hidden implications of the Darth Plagueis story, and on your first watch! thank you!
Music really made this movie so good!! Been waiting like 3 weeks for this lol. Imagine seeing it from 1-6 and not knowing about Darth Vader. Tragic story and I like how they show him turning and you can see how he regrets alot of his decisions.
I was thinking about watching it in that order by myself to see how it sets up
@@MajorReacts give it a go! I watched it from 4-6 since I saw it when I was like 5 and that was around 1996 😂 but yeah to me revenge of the sith is the best
& actually Anakin brought balance to the force when he killed the Emperor. He was always the chosen one just took him a lot longer to do so. & became a force ghost cuz he finally redeemed himself for his past.
1,2,3,4,5,6 was all done by George Lucas, 7,8,9 is done by Disney so the direction is very different.
The animated series is based off what goes on between 1-4 and explains the lore in better detail. Highly recommend it if your interested in getting deep into the star wars universe.
Lastly a movie I would recommend next is Star Wars: Rogue One

Thanks for the support an coming along this journey with me
The prophecy said that someone would bring balance to the force by destroying the sith and bringing peace to the galaxy. Ultimately, Anakin did that in Return of the Jedi when he destroyed the Emperor. Padmé wasn't supposed to die at the end, but George Lucas thought that the character should have a dramatic ending. In Return of the Jedi, Leia said that she remembers her mother. If so, Padmé should've lived and went into hiding with Bail Organa on Alderaan. She could've just died off-screen. That's the only problem I had with the movie. Otherwise, it was a masterpiece and the ending was my favorite ending of all-time. Great reaction and analysis!
i like when i find youtubers i like the video before even watching you're defiantly one of them bro!
Thank you Reno and thank you for the support
Just a note for someone who is old enough to have seen every Star Wars film in theaters when they were released (yes, I saw Star Wars in 1977 in theaters), the prequels (episodes 1-3) got so much hate for about for well over a decade that it led to George Lucas selling Star Wars to Disney. Ahmed Best who played Jar Jar got so much hate on social media that he almost killed himself.
Now for some reason the prequels get so much love and now the sequels (episodes 7-9) are getting the same type of hate. Because haters got to hate and they have redirected their hate to the sequels. So when you hear how the sequels are bad, don't pay attention to it. It's the same people who used to hate the prequels that have found something new to hate.
So go watch the sequels and form your own opinion on it. Don't let the haters influence your opinion.
These 6 Star Wars reactions are the first of his videos I watched. I can't get enough of him just slaughtering the names of people. I'm a subscriber, appreciate the authentic reactions, I hate the people that are so over the top with their reactions. Good luck with the channel.
😂 me too. My hubs butchers names. He called him Heineken for a long time. And Queen Armadillo.
A couple of awesome details most people miss, 1: If you pay attention to the fight choreography you can see Anakin try to disarm Obi-Wan with the same trick he used to take Dooku's hands off at the beginning, though it obviously doesn't work.
2: At the very end when Anakin is on the table being put in the Vader suit, you can hear his heartbeat. It stops for a few seconds as the mask is coming down, before restarting once it seals and he takes the first breath through the mask. Even with a headset it's hard to notice it, but once you hear it you'll never miss it.
3: When Obi-Wan says "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." that statement is itself an absolute. That line perfectly sums up the hypocrisy of the Jedi, and why in a twisted way Order 66 was a good thing in the long run, the Jedi had become utter hypocrites and someone needed to hit the reset button.
It comes later. Everything was true. Vader killed the emperor. He fulfilled the prophecy then and earned his force ghost.
That was definitely the hardest to watch. For more Anakin, Obi-Wan, R2, 3PO and the gang, plus Ahsoka, the greatest character from the animated shows, please watch The Clone Wars. We'll be here with you all the way!
And Rebels, after Clone Wars, for sure! We get some of the best Star Wars lore from this underrated show.
Yeah I have to watch them all Martha I'm hooked and thank you for supporting me
You're predictions are scary accurate
I always thought Anakin did bring balance to the force because in Jedi he killed the Emperor and by doing that...he killed Vader...destroying the Sith in one shot.
been waiting for this major lets go!
Palpatine let himself loose to Windu, he needed Anakin to totally betray the jedi and give into his emotions to fully turn him.
Congrats on going through this. I think you should try the sequels and make up your own mind about them. Some love them, some hate them. That is the “great divide” in the fandom. And in 20 to 25 years it will shift again… In my opinion, there is always something to enjoy with Star Wars. It’s funny how people try to persuade one way or the other. Regardless, I will still watch your channel. Take care!
Thank you Staci but I'm in too deep now I have to watch all of them lol
@@MajorReacts Enjoy!
@@MajorReacts skip the "sequels" they do nothing but invalidate the original 6 movies, trash the original characters... it's awful. if I could go back and not see them, I would.
@@Frank-Discussion Yeah the sequel trilogy was shittaly exacted and those movies pissed me off
Keep the sequels for last. I'd love if you did mandalorian next. It's 5 yrs after return of the jedi and not too many episodes to go thru. It has the feel of o.t. star wars. Sequels are a different vibe. At least you didnt have to wait 30 years to watch them 😆
Just binged your Star Wars reactions yesterday and happy to see this uploaded the very next day haha
buddy was already a killer off the second joint. He just got an extra push from the Emperor.
The balance in the force is also brought by killing all those Jedi's, so 2 Sith Lords and 2 Jedi Masters are alive at the end of the revenge of the sith's. Pretty balanced now.
Just FYI, episodes 7,8, and 9 don't really deal with the Skywalker family but the characters, especially Luke get disrespected big time. Which is why real Star Wars fans don't like those last 3 movies. Kathleen Kennedy made it a point to disrespect Luke's legacy especially. I don't consider those movies as part of the Star Wars franchise personally.
I have been waiting soo long I cant wait to see your reaction love you man!
Love you to brother
*Your perception was on point this trilogy my guy! I originally saw the Phantom Menace first so I was one of the few people shocked at every movie and I like the prequels best!!*
*Also react to the Old Republic (Full Movie), Genndy Tartakovsky the Clone Wars (Before you watch the Clone Wars), Rebels and then then other movies trust me*
*Also Darth Vader roughly translates to....Dark Father...Leia was originally supposed to be the chosen one*
The ambiguity of the prophecy was such a great core to these six movies. Part of the hubris of the Jedi was not interpreting it properly. What does it mean to "bring balance" to the force? With a dark side and light side, wouldn't "balance" mean some sort of coexistence? Obviously in 4-6, with a Sith Lord in control of the Empire, the two sides of the Force were out of balance. In 1-3, under the Republic guided by the Jedi Council, the Force was arguably "out of balance" in the other direction. The prophecy may have even been written at a time where the Jedi were on the rise or in control, and could have meant that the Jedi needed to be weakened for the sake of Balance. When Anakin switches here, he doesn't bring balance, he tips the scales strongly in the other direction, but arguably that choice puts him into a position to overthrow the Sith, where before the Jedi were blind even to his presence. This could be the fulfillment of the prophecy, or of course his son could be, but there are certainly other possible interpretations, especially considering the extended lore from other media and the sequels. I like to think that the Force seeks balance, and perhaps works through everyone to eventually achieve that.
I'd highly recommend the Clone Wars. You get to know a ton of the sides characters which makes makes this movie ten times sadder
When you watch the clone wars you might have problems with season 1 as it’s pretty childish but after that it becomes the greatest piece of storytelling in the entire sw universe!!
There are several new shows coming to Disney+ by the amazing creators of the Mandalorian. One is about Obi Wan and Anakin in the time between episode 3 and 4. SOOO looking forward to it!!!
Can't Wait gotta catch up with the shows and movies so I can watch it
I'd do the sequels. Remember, films are art. It's subjective, filtered through the lens of our own psyches. Good or bad is your decision. Clone Wars gives a lot more context to the prequels, Rebels gives more context to the originals. Rogue One is probably the best Star Wars film, objectively. Solo is a lot of fun. Enjoying watching these films with you man, great channel.
Major, definitely watch 7-9. Some people are just haters. They need every single thing that is on the screen to be explained, believable and canonical. Don't you dare use your own imagination! I personally had to watch 7-9 more than once to put it all together, and I would not have been able to do a very good review of the movie. Maybe you should watch them first and THEN do the reaction on your 2nd viewing, or, if you want to keep the surprise for us, I'd still suggest a second viewing even if you don't put it on here. I just watched #9 again today, and I swear, I keep on finding new stuff to like about it. Anyway, great reaction, and I'm glad to have subscribed!
In mind of George Lucas balance of the force is peace. Anakin did that when he threw down Sidious in Retun of the Jedi. without sith there is peace and that peace bring balance. If Sith are dominant then they always fought between themselves so only light side is answer.
And finally you reacted to this movie hahah.
I know I’m late but the whole idea of balance is supposed to be that the sith are destroyed, which if exclude the newer movies which kinda retconned that idea, Anakin technically did destroy the sith in return of the Jedi thus bringing balance. A good series of games to play to play to get a better understanding of the Jedi, sith, and the force as a whole is knights of the old republic 1&2.
Thanks, Major! ⭐ Don't forget to watch SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY and ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY before you watch EPISODEs VII, VIII and IX!
