i adore the fact that sir Christopher Lee regarded his duel with Yoda as "one of the best sword fights ever put to film" that man had respect for the craft of filmmaking.

25:25 “if he started dead up civilians, yeah that would be really dark” 20 seconds later 👀

I definitely recommend watching the clone wars series. I just finished watching them myself and it gives so much extra depth to the characters especially Anakin. It shows reasons why Anakin lost more and more faith in the jedi eventually turning to the dark side. Before I watched the clone wars I didn't really like Anakin but after watching it, he isn't my favourite (he is up there) he is 100% the best written character ever. The first 2 season are a bit of a struggle to get through, but after season 3 it just gets exponentially better, with season 6 & 7 being one of the greatest star wars content there is.

palpetine sends count doku who sends jango fett who sends his shapeshifter friend who sends a droid who sends bugs to kill padme

In my opinion clone wars is the best thing Star Wars has produced till today. It has such great arcs (some bads too, but few). And it gave us the best Star Wars character.

I remember seeing yoda fight for the first time thinking how can anyone fight against that 😂🤣

fun fact: the dialogues you hear are actually recorded in a studio and edited into the film since the original recording had a buzz sound due to the transformers behind set. George Lucas didn't notice that until the movie reached post. So, all the actors were called again into a studio to read their lines.

I love that you comment on that part with his mom. Most people are like “oh man, why would you give in to the dark side?” Bro, if my mom was captured, tortured and raped to death over the course of a month, you best believe I would go on a murder spree. And on top of that, he actually has the power to kill them all. You can’t say you wouldn’t. And you can see where the path to becoming Vader starts: with human attachments. That’s how you corrupt even the very best of us.

Episodes 1-6 are such good, enjoyable films and a fantastic story throughout, so it's wonderful to always see new people enjoy it.

Stormtroopers (the empire's soldiers) were mostly just normal people who signed up. Early on their soldiers were clones but because clones were more expensive and they aged twice as fast the empire phased them out and started recruiting soldiers. I really recommend watching the Bad Batch (after the Clone Wars if you watch it) if you want to see how that happens Also side note - Force lightning is a dark side power, Jedi normally can't do it (with a few exceptions).

24:10 that’s why the Jedi usually take the force sensitive kids when they’re infants so they don’t grow any attachment to their parents. That eliminates the possibility of them going bazerk if their parents die.

Can’t wait for episode 3, literally the reason I watch this

I love the fight between Dooku and Yoda so much. Also, the 3 beasties sent in to kill Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padmé are a reek (the rhino-looking one), an acklay (the one that looks like a praying mantis) and a nexu (the tiger-looking one). Fun fact: Samuel L. Jackson asked the producers if his character, Mace Windu could have a purple lightsaber, so he could find himself easily during the Battle of Geonosis in the sea of blue and green lightsabers.

You should ABSOLUTELY watch The Clone Wars series The movie might deter you, and the first 3 season arent amazin, but it reeeeally picks up s4 onwards. You should watch the 2D miniseries too, its so awesome

The Clone Wars TV Series is the BEST piece of Star Wars Media ever produced. It has so many different stories and answers so many different questions about the Star Wars Universe, such as how Lightsabers are made, what it's like for the citizens of the separatists, Clones who desert and abandon the army. For many people, their favourite star wars characters were introduced in the series or were developed by the Clone Wars Series. Please do give it a watch, you won't be disappointed.

Force lighting is a very powerful trait for exceptionally strong dark-side users. Some of the jedi can accomplish this feat but it is not a common one. They practically take the force and tamper with it causing an electrical reaction and boom!⚡️ Apart from that, it can also come in a variety of colours depending on the level of power: Blue, green, yellow, white, red and black. There are comics.

So, about Yoda's fight, the reason he was able to fight like that was a combination of Ataru (Form IV) a lightsaber style known for its acrobatic movements and swift strikes and a steady use of the Force to enhance his abilities and improve his battle prowess. He can't move like that all the time, he has to actively use the Force to fight like that. He is 800+ years old after all, ergo why he walks around with a cane 90% of the time.

26:01 i love ur reaction to this after saying "yeah i kinda get it, I'd probably do the same for revenge"😂 and being like yeah nah...too far

Obi-Wan didn't let Anakin to check on his mom. So that's why Anakin blames Obi-wan.

Watching Clones Wars before Revenge of the Sith makes the prequels hit that much harder. It basically fixes every problem people had with the prequels while perfecting everything people liked like the lightsabre fight scenes & world-building. I can't stress how much better it makes the whole trilogy land as a whole.

With the Old Jedi Order jedi aren't allowed to have children or get married or have any sexual or romantic relationship of any kind. Under certain circumstances the council can approve of family and marriage but jedi are expected to not be attached to them. In the New Jedi Order Luke Skywalker would encourage his students to form attachments and have friends and families, Luke himself would eventually marry and have a child.

The small kid, unaltered clon (and son), of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, it´s the future Boba Fett. The bounty hunter who captured Han Solo and appeared in episodes V and VI.

The clone troopers are the all clones of Jango Fett. Boba Fett is a clone of Jango who he raised as a son. Boba later repainted his father's armor. This is who is in the original trilogy. I hope this explains some things!

The thing is, the clones are still people. Even though they are cloned from the DNA of Jango Fett, they still have individual personalities, which gets greatly explored in the Clone Wars cartoon. But the stormtroopers in a New hope are regular conscription soldiers

Yo, Dom. Resident Star Wars nerd here, a comment about what you said regarding his mother: If you remember in the Phantom Menace the council initially decided against training Anakin as a Padawan because he was too old. They mention that they can sense his fear of losing his Mother and how fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate etc etc. Kids who are force sensitive are taken from their families so young that they only have a sliver of memories of them - therefore they don't really have a connection to them, therefore can't fear their loss. They're trained immediately to not love how we experience love usually, and this is what opens up his feelings towards Padme, because he already knows love like someone regular, he feels it again, whereas most Jedi shut that shit down. (Not always though) So when you say we all have a little dark side in us, you're right, and that's why love isn't really allowed for them... to bypass that feeling and temptation altogether.

This is a amazing movie. Many people don't like it but I love it. Now do keep in mind clone troopers for the republic are completely different from storm troopers for the empire.

The Clone Wars series is one of my favorite things to watch the first 3 seasons are kinda slow with it being a kid oriented show, but after that the show picks up and is one of the best things to watch to learn the Star Wars lore. One of my favorites shows to put on while going to bed, also check out the 2003 mini series of 2d clone wars is also amazing.

The Clone Wars series gives you so much more backstory between this movie and the next, more between Anakin and Obi-Wan, more of the clones themselves and how individual they really are (you get attached- at least I did 😭), and, you’re introduced to a character closely involved with Anakin and Obi-Wan called Ahsoka. She wields two lightsabers too!

Yoda's acrobatics during the dual with Darth Taranus (Dooku) was acheved by the use of the force. Basicly Yoda can use the force to be stronger and faster than normal. But he can only do it for a short while.

Padme be like: Calm down Jamal, don't pull out the 9.

You 100% need to watch Clone Wars before Revenge of the Sith, it adds so much to the experience it's actually insane.

Anakin blames Obi because Obi keeps reminding him of his status as "padawan learner". Telling Anakin over and over that his senses arent attuned enough for this or that, despite Anakin having proved himself. One example is when they're on the small ship with Padmé, the one she falls off onto the desert below. After Anakin's call of where the ship should fire on the enemy structure, successfully taking it down, Obi-Wan compliments Anakin, but at the end of his sentence adds something like "my young padawan". Firstly you see Anakin smile in response to the praise of Obi, but as Kenobi adds the ending of his sentence Anakin quickly changes the smile into a clearly disapproving frown. It's a detail that I didnt see for the first 15 years as a fan of the movie... Lol. Obi-Wan keeps reminding Anakin of his subordinant status as a padawan, a lower, something that doesnt sit well with an ex-slave. Also what Anakin says about saving his mom is true if he had listened to his own abilities and not to his superiors. The loss of his mother in this way therefor will cause Anakin to distrust anyone else that give him advice that dont correspond with his own personal opinion on something. That's why he got seduced by Sidius because Sidius was speaking only what Anakin wanted to hear, while the Jedi continued to distrust him no matter how well Anakin performed as a Jedi himself. If they recognized his deeds the next moment they would still question or disagree with him as if what he'd previously achieved meant nothing. Had the Jedi council not been made by a bunch of autists with 0 knowledge in basic psychology they would have realized a thing or two and done something about their own stupid behavior. Then again the Jedi were just as arrogant as they accused Anakin of being, they felt superior and untouchable and refused to bend or change things that could have been truly helpful to their cause (or the cause they claimed to have). Funnily enough you could say that Sidius was the least arrogant, he was simply just smarter than them all and more foreseeing while the Jedi had access to a tremendous force user in Anakin and basically threw him into the clutches of the dark side by being stupid rule following spergs.

You can usually only use lightning as a dark side ability. Dooku was broken at this point in the story as he'd mastered multiple light and dark Force powers and used a fighting style deliberately created for use against fellow swordsmen. So sick!

In the original trilogy, most of the storm troopers are not clones but some of them are

I don't know if you noticed but the kid with Jango Fett(The guy in the silver and blue armor) was Boba Fett, the man who was in green armor in episode 5 and 6.

The storm troopers (ones from the original ones with luke) aren't clones, they are real people because clones accelerated aging was too fast and they were all too old so they used real people

For me, The Clone Wars only got good in later seasons, but I know a lot of people really enjoyed the earlier ones too, so I'd highly recommend watching it!

Anakin is about 19 years old. Padme is about 4 years older than Anakin.

At some point in the video you asked how are lightsabers made, the handle of the lightsaber is made to absorb energy and a gem called a kyber crystal is put inside so the blade is the crystals absorbed energy (Also force lightning is a sith only ability, so jedi can only use it if they tap into the dark side)

Thanks for the quick turnaround on episodes bro, loving the reactions!

Anakin in this movie is like that senior that be like "Where my hug at" at the freshman girls.

Fun Fact: The one who trained Qui-Gon Jinn was Count Dooku

Force Lightning is a Dark Side Power and is frowned upon by the Jedi as it draws upon unnatural forces and bad feelings. Yoda needs his stick to walk, when he is fighting he draws upon the Force to make him faster, this takes some of his power that he has to regain when not fighting that is why he goes back to his stick after the fight

That’s why a Jedi is supposed to be taken young long before they have any attachment to a parents.

26:04 "I dont blame you for that....ohhh" 🤣🤣🤣

The lightening attack Dooku was using is called Force lightning... it's mostly used by Sith, because you tap into the dark side to use it. The Emperor was using it as well, but had more juice in it than Dooku here... The Clone War series covers the story between Episode 2 and the upcoming Episode 3 The clones were gradually replaced with normal people/soldiers after the Clone Wars. I think because the cloning facility had been attacked during the Clone Wars. That's also probably why the Stormtroopers now are laughed at by the audience because they mostly miss when shooting in contrast to the clones...

Because you asked, Lightsabers are made of Kyber Cristals they are giving the colour 👍🏻

"Can you clap cheeks or is that forbidden?"

41:10 force lightning is considered to be a dark side ability but in some instances, it can be wielded by a jedi/light side user

I really hope people are recommending the Clone Wars 2D microseries (2003-2005) that was a completely essential bridge between Ep II and III when it came out (between Ep II and III). I really really hope he doesn't get confused and watch the 7 seasons 3D series "The Clone Wars" (2008) that will make him wait for ages for Ep III and diverts into its own story, cause that would honestly be very stupid and counterproductive in both regards. Also, there are some characters and notions from Ep III AND the 3D series that are INTRODUCED in the 2D micro-series. Also, 2D microseries is just 2 hours in total, like a movie, so is like Episode 2.5 in all senses. The 3D series is a footnote for the 6 movies Saga and is best understood after Ep III (that's why it came out after Ep III).

Anger rage and revenge are 3 key factors that show a jedi turning to the dark side

Watching this movie for the first time was so much fun keep up the amazing work don!

Also the clone troopers aren’t stormtroopers after the rise of the empire the clones where slowly phased out due to high production costs among other things and they where replaced with the stormtrooper division which is just normal people who volunteered or where forced to join the empire

I played a drinking game whilst watching this... Every time Don says "l can't lie", or "...even lie", or similar, I drink... Now im hammered. Cheers Don, great vid, keep it up bro, love your content.

If you were wondering how lightsabers are made Jedi make their own lightsabers with special kyber crystals harvested from planet Ilum.

The clones are different than the stormtroopers in the original films

The Stormtroopers are not Clones, they are just men. The Clones were used for the Clone Wars and then disposed of when they were no longer necessary but they were the precursors to the Stormtroopers and also are in many ways the superior soldiers

lightsabers r made when a padawan uses the force to find their kyber crystal in this ice cave then they build a lightsaber around that by sensing through the force what kind of handle will work best for them e.g. material shape etc. in the clone wars show theres a 3 ep arc about padawans getting their lightsabers its rly cool

The clone troopers were replaced with volunteers after the clone wars Those volunteers are the Stormtroopers

it's the "as long as he didn't kill civilians." to "oooooh...." plot line that has me WEAKKKK

38:40 if you look closely in the scene where jango loses his head, you can see the shadow of his head fly out from the helmet

41:02 you don't, its generally a dark side exclusive power, maybe a Jedi _can_ do it but its absolutely not taught in the academy

Bro your laugh makes me laugh lol your awesome and cant wait for your ep 3 reaction. you are the type of brother that I can see my self chillin.

43:45 you can use the force to boost your agility for a short time. The stronger you are the faster you can potentially go. That’s why obi wan and qui gon ran so fast from the droids in episode 1 as well

17:31 just to give you some numbers for reference, one unit is around 576 clone troopers so the 200,000 units ready equate to around 115,200,000 clones

The thing is jedi are supposed to be taken as children as like infants so that they have no connection to there family so if anakin was found as an infant and had no memory of her he wouldn’t have killed all the tuskan raiders

Happy new year Don ❤🎉 You experienced the powerful force of the sismeic charges 👏

Remember we got to get him to watch clone wars make sure he sees this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clone wars is probably the best Star Wars content you can watch definitely worth the watch

To answer your question at 14:20 clones were phased out by the empire for non-cloned/conscripted soldiers. The animated bad batch series (takes place between ep III and ep IV) kind of goes into it pretty well but you have to watch the clone wars to kind of understand it a bit

There’s actually a chronological order to watch the Clone Wars which I think is the best way. The list is on the Star Wars website.

26:01 Was waiting for this moment when Don was backing up Skywalker's choice of revenge. Haha

39:00 if you end up watching the clone wars and further you will see the clones absolutely ARE people. The Mandalorian Jango Fett who was killed by Mace Windu here had his DNA used to create an army of perfect soldiers, the clone wars cartoon does leaps and bounds to humanize them, they all may look similar and be monsters on the battlefield but they all have their own individual personalities. The main issue comes into play with the fact that they had been fitted with an inhibitor chip, so when Order 66 is executed by Darth Sidious, only a few clones were able to resist/remove the chip, the majority of the army turned on the jedi, who had come to be their generals and in many cases, close friends throughout the war. Plo Koon (The alien with the face mask) had to be one of the most tragic deaths at the hands of the clones, as its established very on in the animated series that like Anakin, Obi Wan, etc, he cared VERY deeply for the troops under his command and would not leave anyone behind. Some Jedi did treat them like they were just droids born to fight, but not all of them.

The storm troopers in the empire were people the empire either took or enlisted into their army. The clone troopers were phased out (for very specific reasons) when the empire was created.

Become a big fan of yours this year bro! Happy new year too you! Keep up the great content 💙

Fun fact death star was powered by kyber crystals So you could call it a giant circular lightsaber with a temporary blade

18:59 jango fett is a mandalorian (but not born of mandalore). If you watch clone wars, rebels, and the mandalorian, you’ll learn a lot more about how the mandalorians operate

In the original trilogy they are ‘stormtroopers’ and are just regular people but these are ‘clone troopers’ specifically cloned from Jengo fett

The Clone Wars is probably my favorite piece of Star Wars media ever. My favorite movies are Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith… but I think The Clone Wars show beats them out for my favorite Star Wars media.

36:00 there’s an episode in clone wars that touches base on the creation/process of building a lightsaber

"The force is really just like, the force force. You know what I mean?" - Don 2023

If you ever go back and watch Episode IV, A New Hope, when Ben Kenobi saves Luke from the Tusken Raiders and takes him to his hut, Luke exclaims, "You were in the Clone Wars?!" and he responds, "Yes. I was a Jedi Knight the same as your father." Such a cool little tidbit.

Count Dooku, Mace Windu (Samuel Jackson), and Yoda were the best of the best in the jedi order. It really is a tragedy that someone as talented as Dooku joined the dark side but if you watch the clone wars and Tales Of The Jedi then you'll understand why he joined the sith. YES!. Watch the clone wars. Don't be deceived by the fact it's animation and technically a cartoon. It's easily one of the best things produced for Star Wars. I like to think it made people like the prequel era a lot more than with just the movies. Also don't you find it a little suspicious that Anakin's mom was held prisoner for a month and only died right as he got there? Definitely nothing suspicious there

I do highly recommend the Animated Clone Wars. It a huge part of the story and my personal favorite.

“Isn’t your dad’s head still inside of that?” 😂😂😂

Clone wars is a solid 9/10 would love to see your reaction to it

You could watch the "Clone Wars" mini series before episode 3. It was released from 2003 to 2005 between episode 2 and 3 and shows major events that occurred between those movies. It was made by the same guy who made Samurai Jack if you're familiar. When put together it's about the length of one movie so it's not a massive pace breaker unlike 2008s "The Clone Wars" with its 50+ hours runtime of mostly filler. I believe both volumes are available on Disney+, otherwise it's free in KZfaq.

I hope he watched the clone wars and all the animated stuff. He'll understand starwars to a whole other level

In answer to your question no the storm troopers phased out the clone troopers but where not clones there was a short period where both where in service at the same time. But this was short

This is how lightsabers are made they make the machinery that amplifies the power from the main part which is the kyber crystal kyber crystals apparently have this energy in them because they put the kyber crystal in and then it's ready to turn on A purple kyber crystal means a purple light saber blue kyber crystal means a blue light saber and so forth and so on

No. In Luke's times clones was replaced with regular people, who been brainwashed pretty much or honestly believed in Empire.

Clone wars gives you a lot of lore and introduces an important character for later movies. Definitely watch it in chronological order otherwise the story will be all over the place. Great video keep up the amazing work.

I die a little bit inside everytime Don says light *saver*

The Jedi and the Sith are two separate and opposing Force Order. Jedi: Serves the Light Side. Believes in balance (somewhat). While they are compassionate, sympathetic, and empathetic, they are ultimately trained to cast out their emotions and become sentinels/vessels of the Will of the Force in accordance to their beliefs. Main Force Abilities: Mind Trick (basically a quick and weak hypnosis), Push and Pull. Sith: Serves the Dark Side. Believes in absolute power. While they normally lack compassion, sympathy, and empathy, they use their emotions (mainly anger and hatred) to empower themselves and achieve feats that even Jedi cannot normally accomplish (such as Force Lighting). Main Force Abilities: Lighting, Choke, and Crush (they can Push and Pull as well, but they mainly focus on using more aggressive Force abilities to accomplish their task).

Also Anakin has a higher midiclorian count than other Jedi or sith even yoda who's is only about 20,000 Anakin's is about 23,000+ and that means his connection potential to the force is extremely strong. He isn't as trained as some other Jedi at the very top but he is very close and if he did not lose some stuff he would have been much more powerful than any jedi or sith in history..even after the losses he trained and battled and killed more jedi than any other in history and became more powerful in the force than he was before...still not his peak he could reach tho if some things didn't happen to him I won't spoil the rest.

Yoda uses the Ataru style of Lightsaber combat which is highly acrobatic but the major flaw is its uses up tons of stamina and force energy and can't be used for long periods, which is why he normally uses the cane. Qui-Gon also favored this style and these flaws plus being in a confined area where he couldn't move around well is why he lost to Maul

Yoda needs the walking stick because that level of fighting movement requires incredible force focus from Yoda. He can’t focus like that all the time for the sake of a walking stick.

You should absolutely give the Clone Wars animated series a go. If you do, definitely watch them in chronological order. There's a list online that has all the episodes put into that order. Much better than the release order

The storm troopers of the empire are actual people. They slowly phased the clones out after order 66 at the end of the 3rd movie

I would definatly like to see you watch the clone wars. It's probably my favourite era of star wars and there are so many awesome characters. Same goes for the bad batch and star wars rebels
