My favorite story aspect of any of the prequels is Anakin sensing that his mother is in pain across the universe. He uses this to his benefit in Empire Strikes Back when he tortures Han & Leia just because he knows Luke will sense it and come for them. Remember after being tortured Han says “they didn’t even ask me any questions”. The point was just to put him in pain so Luke would sense it. It’s one of the few things that directly connects Anakin in the prequels with Vader in the original trilogy.

I don't think you need to explain. She is pretending not to know. In her final commentary on Return of the Jedi she said she knew the Emperor's name is Palpatine. So she knows exactly who the sith lord is, but is just pretending. What else is she pretending about.

Interestingly enough, there were a lot of cut scenes from this movie, mostly involving Anakin and Padme's romance, many of which were actually not creepy, including a couple of scenes where we get to meet Padme's family. There was another unrelated scene, where we learn about Count Dooku from the Jedi Librarian as well.

@onemoreminute0543 2 жыл бұрын

It's weird but I never viewed the romance as 'creepy'. I've often compared it to Empire and don't really see much difference if I'm being honest. There's an argument that Empire's romance falls into the 'ambiguous consent' trope which is the same with this film :)

@Slashycent 2 жыл бұрын

@@onemoreminute0543 I'd even go as far as to say that AotC's romance is less problematic than Empire's. Because while Anakin and Han are similarly pushy, there's just a lot more mutually discussed consent in Anakin and Padmé's relationship. She decided over the kiss, she established boundaries which Anakin proceeded to respect until it was ultimately her who accepted his advances, which he had pretty much given up at that point, and initiated the relationship. The lines with Han and Leia were a lot more blurred and loose, which ultimately was okay since they obviously both wanted each other eventually but it's still weird how the much more clearly consentual relationship is painted as the creepy one.

@jimmygreer6172 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it was certainly Lucas' intention to make it a beautiful love story. And it certainly does come from an old school Boomer kinda male-centric POV that comes off as creepy now. I keep thinking of the "I HATE THEM" scene and my mind always wanders to "and this is turning Padme on?? The confession of an unstable murderer and she's like thinking this is the man of her dreams??" But the scene is intended to be "look at this tortured soul, and only true love from a righteous woman can keep him on the right path". There's no thought of the woman's POV and how like 5 minutes later she's confessing her love. It's VERY male-centric. I think that's one big reason why I appreciate the prequels so much more after seeing The Clone Wars. They were able to flesh out the Anakin story so much more. You're able to see how tender their love was, how his relationship with Obi was a very strong one, etc (without giving away spoilers)

A few years ago I watched a little boy watch Star Wars with his dad for the first time and when Anakin said, “I hate them!” The boy said, “He hates himself.” That was when I finally saw it. For some reason I divorced Anakin from episode 1 and Anakin from episode 2. Padme doesn’t. She sees that he was a good little boy and he’s being broken by the Jedi because they don’t want him to feel anything and being strong with the force, I think he feels everything. She says “To be angry is to be human.” He needs therapy and I think she might be doing the “I can fix him” nonsense. I can’t quite see the romance but maybe with more focused dialogue I might have bought it more. The score helps, it’s beautiful and really sets the dramatic love story tone.

I think at first the love story is difficult to comprehend but thinking about it, it’s only a 5 year age gap, they were both young in phantom menace although it seems as if anakin was 5 and padme was 15 he was 9/10 ish and she was 15. Obviously they’re older in the second episode 10 years have past, anakin had a childish crush on her but padme always thought of him as a little boy. He tries proving to her the whole movie that he’s not just “a little boy” I think eventually she sees that and slowly falls in love with him throughout that movie overall she’s not that much older than him but as for like him acting kind of “creepy” anakin being anakin I don’t think he’s good at communicating his feelings which was pretty much the whole reason he turned to the dark side. All he needed was help with his feelings. And in episode 3 obviously them being married and such and such is just them getting older so if you think about it it’s not that weird. I also recommend watching Star Wars theory’s videos called “padme reveals how she fell for anakin when he was only 9” it explains it more in depth but overall I think the love story is difficult to read into if you only see one layer of it.

I know we've all heard this, but I'll hijack this comment in the hopes that Shanelle sees it: The song during the Maul fight where Qui Gon dies is called "Duel of the Fates." This is - in part - because the outcome of that fight determines the path that Anakin will go down. If Obi Wan - who thinks of him as a brother - trains him, Anakin won't quite embrace the Jedi teaching as well as he should and constantly power struggle and be consumed with aspiration and fear. If Qui-Gon trains him, then Anakin will have the father figure he never had who will teach him like a father and impress upon Anakin a more nuanced view of Jedi teachings that has room for emotions and attachments and can teach him how to manage those feelings

If the script and/or Hayden Christensen would have managed to portrait Anakin as a scary and arrogant yet at the same time confident and charming young man (the quintessential bad boy) the audience would understand much better why Padme falls for him. instead he comes off as awkward, creepy and bitchy. Not really qualities girls usually fall for. I'm not sure who is more at fault here - the writers or Christensen, my guess would be the writers.

I love Attack of the Clones. It's such a wild and untamed, genre-bending space opera ride that mixes an enticing neo-noir cyberpunk mystery investigation with a highly theatrical romance plot and bombastic war story spectacle, all set in space and with wizards. Who else does that? Glorious. I like how you're one of the few people who understand from the get go that Anakin is a _necessarily_ troubled young man who _needs_ to be a flawed and estranged outcast to eventually become the monster he is bound to be and that a character being flawed doesn't automatically make them a "flawed character", if you catch my drift. These characters aren't perfect plastic figures. They're not saints. Anakin is an estranged boy who, after leaving his loving mother as a young child, desperately craves the lacking approval of the stoic monk order he joined and in turn obsessively clings to the little love and emotional support he has in his life, be it from chancellor Palpatine, his mother or his now-wife Padmé. Obi Wan struggles to fill Qui-Gon's shoes as a paternal mentor to the boy, instead falling into the role of a bickering brother, an equal, and overcompensating with excessive strictness that only further drives Anakin away from him. Padmé is a young woman who has been wrapped up in a duty bigger than herself for all her life. Now she meets someone who is utterly enamored with her in her truest form, who has idolized her not as a powerful queen or a senator but a mere handmaiden, a person. There's hardly anyone with whom she can just be herself as much as with Anakin. And so she decides to be selfish for the first time in her life and embraces this problematic, forbidden romance. I just love how flawed they all are. Especially as an antithetical mirror to the almost fairy tale-esque, inherently heroic trio of the OT. There's a reason why only one of these narrative halves ends happily while the other one is headed for tragedy. Let's just say that Lucas didn't hold back with Episode III and there's a reason why even the mainstream likes that one. These two prior episodes were some heavy but necessary setup work. Now it's time for payoff.

I can’t remember exactly how old Anakin was in The Phantom Menace, but it was somewhere around 8-11 years of age. There are comic books/graphic novels that talk about how Anakin was treated while a Padawan at the Jedi Temple (spoiler: he was not treated well at all, since he was much older than the other Jedi younglings when he took up residence at the Temple). Anakin was already a very strong duelist by the time of Attack of the Clones, but during the Clone Wars he got even better still - he just happened to exist at the same time as Dooku, who uses Lightsaber Combat Form II, and is canonically the best practitioner of that style in all of Star Wars history - that’s why Dooku is able to best Anakin at the end of this film.

Basically, in the original concept, Sifo Dyas was either Dooku or Sidious using a different name. But in legends they make it where Sifo Dyas pre-emptively ordered the clones because of the return of the Sith(maul). The clones were never made to fight droids, they were made to fight Sith. Then, it was canonized with the clone wars TV show.

So something that I heard a while back for the reason Obi-wan doesn't crack down on Anakin and puts up with a lot of his attitude is because he sees himself more as an elder brother to Anakin rather than a father. Obi-wan had felt that that role had fallen to Qui-gon, but when Qui-gon died he felt it wasn't right to assert himself into that role. Add the fact that Obi-wan was also a very "by-the-book" type of Jedi, he wasn't the best teacher for Anakin anyhow. On a personal note: As a child, I really enjoyed this movie. As an adult, I can't stand it! I want to vomit during all the Anakin/Padme scenes.

@onemoreminute0543 2 жыл бұрын

I actually think that Anakin's character in this film is quite interesting. Due to being separated from his mother at an age where he has already developed his attachments, it leads him to being rather emotionally unstable over this film and the next. Qui-Gon was meant to serve as Anakin's father figure, but his death left Obi-Wan to try and take over that role. But Obi-Wan could never fulfill that paternal role, and instead acts more as a brother instead of the father figure Anakin needs. This lack of a maternal and paternal figure is what caused Anakin to latch on to Padme when he was younger. Their interactions in Episode I saw Anakin turn to her as his new maternal figure, though by now he has grown up and that relationship has evolved into a romantic one. This forbidden attachment, combined with Anakin's ever growing emotional instabilities, is what pushes him further down the dark side. Plus, the fact that he's been taught to suppress his emotions and attachments makes his interactions more complex, which explains why much of his dialogue with her is rather straight. :)

I wish the background was that the two had seen each other a few times a year in between the films. It would have solidified his love for her and would have given her time to see him grow up. 2) Since they had him fall in love with her as a 9 year old and as a Jedi Padawan he is not allowed emotional entanglements he is approaching this AS a 9year old still.

The resoloutions in Ep.3 are quite satisfying. It is my favourite prequel.

The prequels tend to be a bit ify.....Although, I think the tie in with the clone wars cartoon makes it better especially the relationships. Love your reactions they are always so fun. Can't wait till you watch the next movie I think its the best from the prequels.

There are also many of us that love these movies; we're just not as loud. Also, the prequels are greatly enhanced by The Clone wars, animated series:)

Many of us felt that "He was a good friend" did not play out at all. There are videos with suggested alternate prequels that would have been more faithful to the originals. I suggest you not look for them until after seeing Episode 3. Even though we were terribly disappointed when these came out, time heals all wounds. They are good for what they are. I will not say the same about the Disney sequels, which betrayed and murdered the original trilogy.

I agree. I always felt that the prequels were not well written to feed into the original trilogy, and the retconning was awkward. Could have been better from the get-go, although they were adequate and all had high points scattered throughout. And I-III did get better in the progression. I don't want to talk about the last movies. Rogue One was really good.

You could say that this is the worst of the teen Anakin. Later on during the Clone Wars series when Anakin is a bit older we really see the friendship between them.

With your last reaction and this one, it is nice for someone to see these films as they are. People either hate them or love them, but the truth is they got some good things in them action wise and such but rough dialogue and character work. And yes, Anakin makes a lot of us uncomfortable.

There is a really significant plot point you’ve missed, but you are far from alone in that. I remember hearing an interview with a fairly well known science fiction author that made it clear he didn’t get it, either. I personally don’t understand how anyone familiar with the original trilogy could have missed it going into episode 1, but I guess we have to call it a spoiler for now. It is subtle, but is it really THAT subtle?

@MuljoStpho 2 жыл бұрын

For people who had been fans of the originals before the prequels came out it almost seems kind of silly how the prequels try to cover up this point and hold it to be a "surprise reveal" for episode 3, but I wonder because it's been a while at this point since the last time I watched the original trilogy... Was the name ever actually mentioned in the originals? Did we know it from the movies or did we only know it from behind the scenes stuff and from the books?

@@MuljoStpho No the name wasn't mentioned, but everyone knew Ian McDiarmid played him in Return of the Jedi so... Plus he has a very distinctive voice and manner of speaking, so yes, everyone knew from his 1st moment on screen in episode 1.
