I got something to watch when I get off work! I'm a Star Wars nerd!

I was glad to see the Mandalorian give Amhad best some redemption.

The Music during the final fight between Maul, Obi-won, and Qui Gon is called Dual of the Fates, Meaning Anikan's Fate if Qui-Gon Jin had been the one to train Anikan he would have been more of a Father figure to him. He would not have taken the path that he takes.

George Lucas is a great world builder and I do overall like the prequels, Though i do think the films would have been better served if someone else would have directed them, much like with Empire and Jedi were not directed by George.

Anthony Powell

great reaction, alot of reactors don't pick up on the chancellor thing, glad you did, that kinda makes up for not knowing it was obi wan for half the movie!

My first time re-watching since I saw it in theaters. I never noticed the actor who played Willow in the pod racing scenes!! And as I remembered..the pod racing scene was my favorite.

frost1977

my understanding is the Pod race in this movie was heavily inspired by the chariot race from Ben Hur.

Jedi can get angry they still have emotions but they don't use it to power their abilities. That is why the light side is harder to learn, the Dark side is quicker easier, and more seductive as Yoda said. Using anger is a source of quick power and hate is even stronger but it also burns you out. And yes Anikin does bring balance to the force when he kills the Emporer in return of the Jedi. {There is something on that I am not going to talk about as to 1 reason a lot of fans don't like the Disney trilogy] NO that was not where Lando was, Lando was on bespin it is a gas Giant plant with a floating city that mines gas. This planet was the capitol city of the galaxy the entire planet is covered by 1 big city.

Yeah, there's so much exposition to cover in this film. Not easy.

Daniel R

here for the prequels!

Omg, this whole time I thought Natalie Portman played the Queen and the decoy. I feel so dumb because I've seen this so many times. 🤦🏼‍♀️

But Palpatine being the menacing Darth Sidious, with nobody knowing, as if he was a phantom?? Sith "Rule Of Two": This one is both complex and straight-forward at the same time. Centuries earlier, there was a powerful Sith who made a rule of there only being a single Sith Master and his singular apprentice. The only way to become the master was for the apprentice to kill their master. This was done to keep the Sith line more and more powerful each generation, since every new master only got there by defeating the old master. Additionally, since the Sith are so bloodthirsty and whatever other adjectives you want to give them, the Rule Of Two cuts down (pardon the pun) on the number of direct threats to a master. Leads to a massive consolidation of Sith power. Also, easier to keep the return of the Sith a secret when there are less people involved in it. Also, be aware it isn't always exactly followed or properly explained when/how it's followed. So don't be surprised about plot holes around the topic.

Dictators/Leader's or important connections to them, are known for having 'doubles'' the film The devils double, starring Dominic Cooper is regarding that same scenario, in relation to Saddam Hussein's notorious playboy son Uday. One of his soldiers would pretend to be his son, because he was a nasty piece of work, Saddam worried for his life. It’s a good film, and interesting to know. Padmé having one during those tense political times? Makes sense. I love it when people don’t know, then realise, Samuel MF L. Jackson is a Jedi in this 😂

Jim Frykman

Yoooooo JL you're gonna look sick in that robe!

Daniel R

Obi Wan's name was mentioned in one of the first few lines of the movie! (after landing on the Federation ship)

Megatto

Are you gonna watch the star wars shows?

Gryff

Warwick Davis was also the (very young) actor in the suit for the Ewok Wicket, the first one to appear on screen when meeting Princess Leia in RotJ.

Ashley

The mirror at the beginning is cute and everything but can we get a timestamp... It can be a pain to re sync things half way into a movie when something gets messed up.

Ashley

Its really starting to get to me that you don't read the text crawls out loud... sorry.

Ashley

"they move fast as fuck" remember when luke fell into the carbonite freezing chamber? he jumped out super fast. That some force jump/force dash shit there. Jedi can move ass when needed.

Ashley

Jar Jar Binks is the most beloved and revered character in starwars history. don't spek ill of the king.

Megatto

Go watch his newest video here on Patreon. about 16 minutes in.

Daniel R

waiting for Attack of the Clones to drop!

Justin Cross

So to answer your question about Anakin and balance, "Yes" technically he does bring Balance, by killing the Emporer as the Dark side was so dominant in the Galaxy during the time of the Empire. His road to that realization was a long and deadly one, but he is the chosen one in terms of ending the domination of the Empire over the galaxy, restoring balance of light and dark.
