You had me at him reacting to the clone wars. Poor man is going to be crying

Bravo 👏

I find myself looking for your comments all the time now lol! Alex is a ton of fun and you are a happy bonus! Cheers from Canada❤🇨🇦

You were not alone in your pain 😂 I felt each and every one of them with you!

Oh no. Clone wars means Rebels which also means Bad Batch. In other words, it’s gonna take forever. Just ask the Normies. You catch my drift.

I mean, the Jedis were as much a part of the problem as Palpatine. Which is why this happened in the first place

I guess he might make a good jedi.

@@Kman20025eeeeh palpatine kinda orchestra the whole downfall to begin and controlled both side of the war

He aaaaaalmost got it right at the beginning. "Hey isn't that the guy who played the Emperor in ROTJ? Naw, naw that isn't him, nvm I'm just seeing things." lmao

Right?! 😂😂😂

“360 no scope I did”

Aqquired nuke killstreak i did

The final trap and cruelty of the Sith. That you will lose everything. Your friends, your family, and eventually yourself.

Basically drugs/alcohol

basically the same with the light though at least in the case of star wars haha

@@muigokublack6487 also the cruelty of the jedi. They have to give up the people that they love and be emotionless to be a jedi Thats why the jedi and the sith were the problem of their own downfall

@@miguelorozco4445 Wrong. They don't have to be emotionless. They have to control their emotions. Huge difference. Obi wan said himself that he viewed anakin like a brother which means he truly cared about him and had emotions for him. Obi wan wept when qui gon died. Even yoda felt immense anguish when his fellow jedi were being slaughtered. Being a jedi is similar to making the life long intentional decision to be celibate so you can focus on other aspects of life. In other words if you choose to be celibate it doesn't mean you don't care about others but if your focus is for the common good in general building your own romantic relationships can distract you from that focus. Not to mention the fact that you can leave the jedi order at any point and they wont hold that against you. The problem with the jedi is that through centuries of peace and prosperity they became aimless and eventually got wrapped up in political affairs which poisoned their ideals. The jedi had become naive but cruelty is not the word i would use to describe them under any circumstances. When it comes to the jedi vs sith comparison they arent even in the same stratosphere morally speaking. The sith at their core are cannibalistic in how they operate and they despise each other almost as much as their sworn enemies. Sith pride themselves on emotional rebelliousness, greed, envy, and monopolizing authority and power by any means necessary even if it means murdering children in cold blood or wiping entire planets of its life. Their end goal is purposeless and fruitless. Anakin hadnt even made it two days as a sith and already his goal to achieve power to save padme went up in flames. And if you think palpatine was ever going to help anakin save padme you're a fool. There is a reason palpatine grinned when telling vader he killed padme.

Mere moments of obliviousness to that which haunts us all

Knowing Alex’s sense of humor, it’s too bad it wasn’t Order 69 😂

@@coyotelong4349 fr tho 🤣

imagine a rewatch of Order 66 after the anime

@@jlassijlali290did you just call The Clone Wars anime?

I think at one point the crew actually had to tell them to slow down a little bit because the camera couldn't keep up. Crazy!

i heard they were slowed down by like 1/12 speed lol

And in the behind the scenes footage you could see poor Ewan's hands were bandaged up almost constantly in their training, but Hayden's usually weren't. Sounds like SOMEONE might've been a little less proficient in his saber skills... (I'm just teasing, but Ewan did seem to get his kuhnuckles roughed up pretty badly)

Seeing how Hayden is still able to do those moves almost 20 years later is NUTS.

Didn't they have to get slowed down to make it more followable by viewers?

I also love how both Anakin and Padme asked if the other was ok.

Nobody told Lucas that poetry doesn't have to rhyme. Or that not every rhyme is poetry. Even that part is bullshit.

​@@j.m.w.5064no, but the good ones do

@@JAIstarkillerkid a childhood can't be ruined by a couple bad movies just like a franchise can't be ruined by a couple bad movies.

​@coreymoore2719 the fandom menace is such a funny name for that, definitely using that myself now

Im not tryna be a hater because I genuinely like these movies for what they are but they are absolutely objectively NOT great cinema. There is so much wrong with them from technical standpoints.

Darth Maul confronts Darth Vader in the comics and asks "What could you hate enough to destroy me?" and Darth Vader replies with "Myself"

I think at that point anakin still hopes it will turn out okay. As he says on mustafar, hes doing evil act but plans on killing palpatine. He only gives up when he wake up and padme is dead and hes hopeless.

My thoughts exactly. 😆😍

Agreed

Omg yes! 🤤 I fell in love with Obi-Wan Kenobi when I was 6 years old when I watched The Phantom Menace for the first time. ❤️ I've loved him ever since. I even named my dog Kenobi. Lol I can't wait to re-live the experience next month when I go see The Phantom Menace in theaters again for its 25th year anniversary.

But then they made anakin and dooku fight over and over again despite their dialogue in this movie implying they haven’t fought in a long time

@@jimmybob5541 when was the last time they fight in clone wars? Some time could’ve passed ig, idk 😂

I love when people give Hayden his flowers. He did the best with what he was given. We love you Hayden ❤

I hated how annoying Anakin was in AOTC but Anakin in ROTS was so likable and was so sad to see him turn to the dark side right after. Hayden really did a good job from transitioning from a broken boy to the most evil villain in history. Looking back nearly 2 decades later, Anakin is one of the most flawed yet perfect characters.

@@AlexX-vn5sw i think he was supposed to be annoying. Imagine if you are a teen with so much powers and everyone is saying he is the chosen one. And on top of that he was missing his mom who later died in the movie . I think almost every 19 year old would be annoying in that situation

Cool 😁😎

Tears

@Algorythmfpv - I was today years old when I considered this - great thought! Luke had no memory of his mother, but Obi-Wan was holding Luke as he leaned in to hear Padme's dying words, perhaps those very words imprinted deep in the mind of the force-sensitive baby Luke, only to rise to the surface all those years later when Luke meets Vader & the galaxys most famous revelation is made! I'm gonna hold on to the thought that while she was talking to Obi-Wan, Padme actually subconsciously told her son to save his father!

@@chriscoombes6751 Leia though, HAD memories of her mother. The Force or the Script!?

Thank you for this lol. I never put that together. I just thought C-3P0 was a dick.

Cause r2 knows how to keep his mouth shut and threepio doesn't

You are correct R2 remembered that those were Anakin's last words to him and was worried that the same thing might happen to Luke. Therefore, he never left his side even while Luke was talking to Yoda R2 was right outside keeping an eye on what was going on.

That's right, R2 never witnesses any of the terrible things that Anakin does

omg.. all these years and I never put that together. Awww.. R2 =(

Damn, for 333 episodes?! 😂😂

I went straight to the comments for this 🤩

​@@MrHojichaindeed 👍

Yeah he'll pick up on things like that right away but then take three movies to realize Palpatine is the Sith Lord 😂

That’s a memory I wish I could relive; SW Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. In cinema. On opening night. The hype was insane. People were lined up for hours, dressed up in every SW costume I can think of. Even Episode 1 and TFA didn’t have that level of hype on opening night, by my memory

@keiththorne5617 I saw it at midnight got done at 230 it was amazing

Wish I could've watched it in theaters, unfortunately for me I was born in 2005

Yep. And half the theater gasped, the other half cheered. My theory is this is how you tell who is a Sith and who isnt

You could also interpret it as Anakin brought balance by being instrumental in leaving two Sith and two Jedi left. Before all the spinoffs with a bunch of other Jedi/Sith popping out anywhere. You could say no one realized "Bring balance to the Force" meant there were just WAY too many Jedi, disrupting the balance

That's not at all how it goes in the reality of Star Wars however. Lucas explained it was the elimination of the Sith. In your headcanon fine but that's not the actual explanation.@@jojackmcgurk4499

In the end, they were too high on their horses to see how their downfall would come. They didn't want the force to balance itself on its own, they wanted the force to balance on how THEY wanted it to. In the end, the evil creeps in once you are selfish and try doing things your way instead of letting the universe play out how it's going to play out, and playing your role in the grand scheme of the universe (or some higher power, depends on what you believe). Both Anakin and the Jedi fall to evil in this way. I mostly feel bad for yoda. Clearly he had enough time and devotion to the Jedi order to have faith in it and believe that it's the true good of the galaxy and cannot in any way shape or form be bad. I think the majority of the Jedi believed this. Especially during the clone wars. If yoda has seen and felt the same things Anakin did, I 100% believe that he would change the Jedi order for good, so that more people like Anakin feel more assured in the order. But, he didn't. So that 800+ years of the Jedi devotion was driving his beliefs just like every other time in his life, and it seemed to have worked out. But Anakin was different. Yoda couldn't do the same things he's done for years with Anakin. Something had to be different for Anakin to end a chapter of the galaxy, and to open up a new one. Sorry for the long rant, I'll end it here or else I won't shut up for the next 3 hours. I just love this movie, and the more I think about it, the better it gets.

@@jojackmcgurk4499 this interpretation is largely viewed as wrong and the only real in universe thing that could be viewed as supporting this meaningfully is the mortis. Jedi seek to live in harmony with the force while the Sith twist it and act against life. The Jedi lost their way in service of life and so either Anakin would have destroyed Palpatine and revitalized a Jedi order which had grown to fear attachment to learn to love life in all its forms, or the Jedi would reject the Chosen One and need to be destroyed so that his son would create a new order which could learn the redemptive powers of love.

the kid: Surprised?

In the comics, the visions of Padme dying were sent by the Emperor to make Anakin easier to convert. I'm not sure if that survived the de-canonization process.

​@@TheRawrnstuff In the comics Palpatine did manipulate Anakin's life since the very beginning (I forgot what comics but there's a valid reasons why Anakin's downfall and Palpatine winning the game chess).

@@VergilTheMotivatedKatanaManHe manipulated absolutely everything involved tbf, the separatists who attack his home planet, his own rise to power in the senate, the clone army and an extremely intentional droid army, so much more

@@VergilTheMotivatedKatanaManit goes back even further too, if you read the plagueis novel shmi getting pregnant was the force's response to plagueis and sidious attempting to bring someone back to life. the force didn't like them using their dark side power to ignore the cycle of life and so it responded by creating the being who was meant to bring balance to the force edit to add: i do highly recommend reading this novel. super well written and adds a ton of background information and context to enhance the story of sidious and episode 1 in general

I wish that were in the actual movie. That line goes so hard.

Yeah, I think it was mostly done at full speed as well. They kept hitting each other's hands.

@@pelicanofpunishment6yeah I think they actually had to slow down the fights 🤣

Agree with this completely. Clone Wars really adds so much to Ep3. Also the final season is some of the best Star Wars ever.

Not really

@@golf-me2bhThe 7th season does.

Anakin wasn't a slave when he was with the Jedi in fact a Jedi set him free. He could have left the Jedi order at any time he wanted he chose to stay and train he wasn't made master for one reason he wasn't ready yet. Anakin wanted everything yesterday. He can only be a master after he trained his own apprentice.

​@@davidmonaghan26he was still a slave he never got freedom and always had to do what the council said

@@sickospacemad as part of the training he has to he agreed to it and was free to leave at anytime he wanted. You can't become a Jedi which is what Anakin wanted if you don't you have to go through the same training as everyone else. If I wanted to be a doctor but didn't want to go to all the lessons I can't be a doctor.... you just have to go through it to achieve it.

​@@davidmonaghan26taking as a child to be part of a religious cult, if that doesnt sound brainwashing to you, Im worried

@@davidmonaghan26 I'd put it this way: throughout his life, Anakin was always calling someone else "Master."

Idk i always preferred it being Palpatine draining Padmes life force to keep Anikin alive to become Vader.

And after watching Obi-wan, bro that’s your daughter right fucking there you can’t tell? Or in episode 4 bruh that’s your daughter you have captured you can’t tell.

But she wasn't holding her breath. We never see Vader learn that "Luke's Sister," is Leia. He didn't just have her captured. He actively tortured her for information and she didn't break. Also, remember the time he choked his pregnant wife out on a volcano sulphur planet?

Damn I never noticed this

YES!!! That Vader scene is to me the greatest scene in all the Star Wars movies.

Might as well do Andor also.

@@jeffpatton2866shhhhhhh don’t tell him

Kenobi TV series, then Rogue One!

Not really

It was cool to see Hayden in the armor after years of James Earl Jones being the voice of the character for Vader, but also to hear the blend of Hayden and James together when Vader's helmet gets split open was so entertaining. A similar scene was done in the series, Rebels, when Vader fought Ahsoka.

That's such an underappreciated miniseries. Great animation and insane directing. Grevious' introduction scene is one of the best things Star Wars has ever produced.

Grievous is an alien being with armor and cybernetics. Mace crushed his lungs so he coughs.

Grevious was flesh and blood before an explosion almost killed him, he was kitted out in his exoskeleton but still retained some organs which is partly why he coughs, plus what others have said about windu damaging him further.

Greivous was such a badass in that miniseries

And another fun fact about Grievous's cough! It was actually George Lucas himself who recorded it, he had a bit of a cough one day and decided to put it into the movie.

It also gives them two shots at it because if one got discovered the other could still be hidden. Whereas keeping them together makes them more noticeable but also puts all your eggs in one basket.

Yoda would be fucked if Palpatine or Vader sought out the cave to learn more about the mysteries of the force.

You'd think masters of the force would be able to use from Force Stealth like Palpatine did the entire time. lol

@@SprattieGaming I'm not too sure there's all that much there for them to learn from. IDK about any EU stuff about the cave, but unless there was an ancient sith holocron there I don't think Palpatine nor Vader would learn anything by going there.

@@primary2630Wasn’t that because there was a huge sith temple under the Jedi temple? Kinda like what yoda does but way bigger and scarier

I never thought of this.. Since Palp mastered many force abilities, taking and giving away force life should be ez for him

I was literally checking the comments to see if someone pointed this out. A lot of people miss that detail in editing, but it's such a powerful concept that changes the impact of what's happening.

Wow!? I totally missed that ! Thank you for letting us/me know 😊😘

I mean this is still just a fan theory and not canon but it's still a good theory

The last breath, first breath thing is something I never caught, but I don't see an implication that Palpatine did anything... infact, I think that would be a lame story element. It's much stronger to believe Padme was being killed by the birth of Vader and the death of Anakin... putting Palpatine in the mix is too much and kills the thematics.

Also the fact that he just caused the death of Mace Windu and that point he could've been thinking "fuck it just save my wife now" lol

I always though it was more because he aided a Sith Lord and more or less killed a Jedi Master.That's not something you come back from even from the Jedi he probably figured his life was over and decided well if there is no turning back might as well make sure Padme survives.

At that point, you could explain it off as his desire to save Padme but your reasoning is definitely right for why he remains by Palpatine's side after Padme's death. That and his self-hatred.

EXACTLY! The equating to a minor slip up with 'irredeemable and unforgivable' is really just a control mechanism used to frighten people into compliance (you see this in religion A LOT). The alcoholic (or smoker) shouldn't view taking a single drink as a failure; rather they should take pride in how little they've consumed over what time period and be given positive encouragement. "I've only had 3 beers in the past month" should be answered with "Good job!" Btw i don't know much about Star Wars lore as it relates to the force, but i believe that there used to be a bunch of different groups on the spectrum, and now we only have the two extremes, the Jedi and the Sith because of BS philosophical positions like what Yoda gives here.

In for a penny in for a pound.

I literally thought the same thing - the funny thing is that he'll have a permanent memory link/fixation, every bagel cashew he'll ever eat from now til eternity will remind him of this

He brought balance to the galaxy but not peace. The galaxy was permanently destabilized and it never truly recovered to pre-Jedi Order/Republic status. I believe that was a major consequence of Anakin falling to the dark side.

@@rebelfighter5249The prophecy said that he would bring balance to the force, not the galaxy.

That's a terrible idea. Clone Wars is 20% good stuff (REALLY good stuff), and 80% boring filler.

@@Flopdoodleexactly! I made it through all the live action SW before watching clone wars and even then I only made it to like season 3. If I started watching clone wars during the prequels then I’m 1000% sure I would’ve stopped watching clone wars AND live action Star Wars.

"Oh shit it's YodAHHHHHHHH" *dies*

Have you seen the clone wars animation from Hello there yet. I suggest you watch it they did an amazing job recreating the fight in a clone wars style.

Thats kinda cool

Sand People kids aren't real kids, though, obviously. /s

To be fair... Anakin had the best medical care in the galaxy being saved by the Emperor, and his connection to the Force helps keep him alive. Whereas Padme et al ended up on a mining station that probably wasn't geared towards childbirth and maybe not even geared towards humans, either, on top of the fact that she literally lost the will to live. Which, as weird as it sounds, is a legit factor.

And as we found out later on, thanks to his son Luke, he would stop believing that it was 'too late' for him

I never bought into that. Sure he does but it's kinda like Luke does all the work and someone else gets the credit for one thing.

Anakin brought balance to the force. The Jedi had to be destroyed to bring balance, because by RotS the Jedi had become so corrupted from their original ways. The old Jedi struck a balance between light and dark, because without the dark there would be no light and without light there can’t be darkness. So at the end of RotJ he completes the prophecy as there is complete balance no Jedi order or Sith order.

⁠@@Bakedgamer1Anakin brought balance by destroying Sidious in Return of the Jedi. The Sith and the Dark Side are a corruption of the Force, like a cancer, and should be dealt with accordingly. The Sith are evil because they are the epitome of selfishness, and using the force to fulfill your selfish desires deepens your connection to the Dark Side, unbalancing the force. The Jedi MUST exist to correct this imbalance. They are selfless, and allow the force to flow through them, and are servants of the greater good. Anakin committing genocide did nothing but make the imbalance worse. Balance in the Force isn’t yin and yang. The Jedi are a good thing to have around, because when some selfish dictator rises up with a connection to the force, who else is going to put him down? That’s why the Jedi have to exist in the galaxy.

@@Bakedgamer1 Incorrect. Luke would go on to restart the Jedi Order and do away with the no attachments rule. Even get married to a redhead named Mara Jade with a kid of his own. George Lucas has always described balance as the absence of the dark side. Calling it a cancer and perversion because it's one bending The Force to their will instead of letting The Force act through and guide them.

The Jedi had been to corrupted, they had to be destroyed as well.

Fan theory is that Palp used that ability he promised to teach Anakin to syphon Padme's life force to sustain Anakin's life.

@@TintOfficial Apparently Palpy was also using the dark side of the force to keep Anakin in pain and force him to use the dark side to save his own life on the ride from Mustafar back to the medical center on Coruscant. Imagine how much that rain must have stung on his burned skin when they exited the shuttle

That novel is one of the best Star Wars novels ever and improves on the story of this movie so much. Check out the KZfaq video called "The Hero With No Fear".

oooh

I always just figured it was how Obi-Wan knew exactly what Anakin was going to try to do; and he knew exactly how to counter it. Could be both, of course!

@@ElectricKnightEntertainment Maul was extremely arrogant, and didn't think Obi-Wan would be able to surprise him. It's essentially the roles switched around, if Obi-Wan was looking down on Maul, but instead it's him looking down at Anakin, who's arrogance is cranked up to the extreme.

Anakin did that move like twice in this mustafar fight. The third time was when obi wan chopped him. It is known that anakin tried to out do his master with his own move.

@@michaelgarrett139 It also tracks that the other two times he did it, Obi-Wan defended himself but held back from going for a killing blow because he was still trying to get through to him.

Have similar thoughts, Obi-Wan was once in that same situation and was luckily able to pull it off. Anakin, wanting to better his master, attempts the same move. Like Electric said, Obi-Wan was able to counter it because it was his own move. Master > Apprentice

It bothers me so much that the Kenobi show never even mentioned this. There are a lot of little things about that show that were kinda dumb but I could forgive, but I really hate that - after several mentions of Padme throughout the show - there isn't this moment where Obi-Wan tells Anakin that Padme had thought there was still good in him (or that he thought so), which would actually explain why Vader tells Luke that in RotJ. I feel like that was the ONE THING the show needed to set up and they just....didn't.

@@lisamarieligreci-newton7804 Yeah, that show fell short in a thousand ways

Well said my man! It's that exact reason why Last Jedi pissed me off so much. It was absolutely contradictory to Luke's entire character.

@@HerpMcDerp89 Exactly. The sequels fundamentally never understood Star Wars

My English teacher, senior year of high school, used Star Wars as a sole reference when teaching about Archetypes. He was a Star Wars fanatic (and so was I), so not only did it make it very easy to learn the material (because I was interested), but also learned so much more about Star Wars. The prequels are super underrated, those movies were my childhood.
