If you're enjoying the video and can't wait for Episode 3, it's already on the Patreon! www.patreon.com/sortastupid

I'm only saying this now because it's a common misconception...Clone Troopers are not, I repeat NOT Stormtroopers. Clones are genetically cloned (hence the name) while Stormtroopers are just normal people that were recruited by the Empire. 💜

Usually I hate how Clone Wars is constantly recommended to *every* Star Wars reaction... but these guys would love the shit out of Clone Wars, their enthusiasm for these movies is awesome. I really hope it gets a slot on the channel.

“Two there shall be, no more, no less. A Master and an Apprentice. One to embody the power, the other to crave it” -Darth Bane’ s rule of Two code

Some fun facts about Christopher Lee (the actor for Count Dooku): • Was in the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (British special forces) during WW2 and tracked down Nazis • Was both the original Dracula and Saruman in LOTR (also instructed the director of LOTR movie what sound a person makes when they’re stabbed in the back) • Spoke like 10 languages fluently • Was the cousin of Ian Flemming and thus basis for James Bond • Descendent of Charlemagne • Met JRR Tolkien in person • He was a personal friend of Peter Cushing (who played Grand Moff Tarkin in Episode IV) • And finally: created and sang in a heavy metal album

The Clone Wars Series really does make this film even better.

Essentially, the reason why only two sith exist is because of a Sith code known as the Rule of Two. The rule states that the only two sith that should exist are the master and the apprentice. When the training is completed, the apprentice is supposed to slay their master to become the new one. It’s to ensure that the Sith are always more powerful with each passing generation.

its even worse when you realize every single one of padmes doubles/guards, are her close friends

Hayden was a great Anakin and I'll die on that hill

Im telling you, you guys will love the clone wars it gives so much more added weight to episode three and some of the later shows. Also I'm sure a few people have left comments already describing this but the rule of two was created for the same reason that Ruff said, less in fighting and to give the Jedi a false sense of security. It allowed the Sith to pull strings in the shadows for a thousand years before Anakin's fall to the dark side.

To clarify the Force. The Dark Side has no relation to Balance. It is a perversion. Think of it like a medicine that you can modify slightly to become a drug that gives you a rush of the FEELING of power. I don't blame you guys for the misconception as it isn't spelled out. On the same Topic. Yes, force users have the ability to hide their presence, but additionally the Prequel Era Jedi have become more dogmatic and arrogant and as such their connection to the Living Force(don't ask) has become more cloudy.

Hayden got so much hate for the Prequels, but I'm so glad he's being appreciated now

Another fun fact: in a deleted scene anakin, Padmé, and R2 go and visit Padmé’s sister Sola, her parents, and Sola’s children; for dinner.

2:05 the famous rule of two, created by darth bane. Before there were armies of sith, dark force users,.. but they always killed each other. Now it is secrecy until there is the plan

For reference, Anakin is 19 and Padmé is 24 roughly when they married. 💜

watching anakin being groomed by palpatine is the worst and most angering thing because you just want to go through the screen and kick palptaines ass

1:12:00 Small detail, Jango DID attempt to get away. If you look closely at his jetpack, he tries to activate it, however since it was damaged from being trampled by the beast he killed, it misfires and only shoots sparks out of the jets. And upon his decapitation, if you look at the shadow, you can see the shadow of his head coming out of the helmet.

In the Phantom Menace novel, a Jedi can see ahead that they can anticipate laser bolts and light sabre blows to block them. A Sith uses the Dark Side to neutralize that Jedi ability, block their senses. Siths are trained to kill Jedi who have to rely on their skill in sword fighting without the Force assisting them. As Yoda said, a shroud has fallen that they just don’t sense the presence of a Sith, they can’t even see the future. I break down and cry everytime I hear Anakin say, “I hate them!” My sister walked out of the theater the moment Anakin’s mom died. She turned her back on Star Wars for good.

RIP Christopher Lee (or as I knew him as a child Dr. Catheter from Gremlins 2, Count Dooku, Dracula, and a countless list of other roles) 💜

21:27 it’s not always a fallen Jedi but that is the quickest way… palpatean was recruited at a young age by someone and never came under the Jedis notice

The longer a droid goes without being memory wiped, the smarter and more independent they are become. A scary thought. R2 has NEVER been wiped. He has a mind of his own. Thank God he is a good guy. And if you haven't figured it out, Dooku was right the whole time!!!! The Council didn't listen to him and as he said, Qui Gon probably would have sided with him as he knew the Council was short-sighted and arrogant to a fault.

20:57 its not really explained in the movies but palpatine has a rare force abilitiy that allows him to hide the fact hes force sensitive. So he can be in a room with jedi and they won't sense hes a sith lord

Scooby is over, there is a slot for the clone wars series.

So lore for Dooku. Dooku was one of the lost 20, jedi masters who left the order (side note padawans and knights have left the order as well, but only 20 masters). He became upset with the rules of the order, and left after finishing Qui-Gon jinn's training, and left the order peacefully. Only after he left the order did he join the dark side. In the jedi order he would basically be Obi-wan's grandfather, and Anakin's great-grandfather.

The reason the Jedi never suspect that Palpatine knows the force (and thus might wonder just where he learned it) is because he's so powerful that he can completely mask his presence from them. And Palpatine friggen LOVES doing all this shit right under their nose and they can't even see it.

One detail that i don't know if ya'll noticed or not but when Obi-Wan is talking with Jango Fett. Jango says "I was recruited by a man named Tyranus." Then at the end of the movie when Dooku brings the plans to the emperor, the emperor greets Dooku with "Welcome home Lord Tyranus.". Giving the hint that Dooku recruited Jango for the clone army as well as getting the sepratists to build the droid army...all by the order of the emperor.

When the prime minister talks about how many are ready and on the way, he is not talking about individual clones (1.2M troops would be nothing in a galactic war), but about units of clones. There is no confirmed number, but I've read somewhere that one clone unit is believed to consist of 64 clones. So we would be talking about 12.8M ready clones, with 64M more on the way.

@21:45 Members of the Jedi Order aren't the only ones capable of using the Force. Sith aren't "evil Jedi", they are Sith. The could have been a Jedi, they could have been a Nightsister, they could've been a random child that was Force sensitive.

Yes. It is true that the real reason why he had a purple saber is because Jackson wanted a purple lightsaber. However, the reason if someone has a purple lightsaber in the Star Wars universe is because they are able to use the dark side of the force to their advantage while still being a user who is mostly light sided. Mace was one of the only guys who could to this because this is extremely hard to do due to the temptation of the dark side. And they could become corrupted. Which is why rarely anyone has purple sabers.

I was thinking last Movie, when Ruff said that he loved that there were so many more Lightsaber battles then the original Trilogy, if that's the case he is gonna love this movie. Also, I don't know if Ruff knows this, but the hairstyle we saw Anakin have at the end of the first Movie, and that Obi-Wan had as well, is not a unique style to him, it's something all Padawans have to show they are still an apprentice. Once they gets promoted to Master, the little braid is cut off by a council member and they can let their hair grow however they want, like Qui-Gon had in the previous one and Obi-Wan have now.

The Jedi thought the Sith had been extinct for 1000 years. They had been training eachother in secret and passing the teachings down

"Begun, the Clone War has" Oohhhh yes it has. Something very bad in-universe, but IRL, it kick-started story lines that are still going on in current projects. I can't wait till you guys watch Clone Wars, man

1:10:24 The lore story for it is that Mace Windu uses a fighting form that basically takes his opponents’ dark side energy and pushes it back at them making him stronger. So he uses the dark side without actually falling to it. He can control himself. The others use blue if they are pretty much plain Jedi and Green if they focus less on combat and more on learning the force.

Count Dooku is one of the greatest Sith of all time and his and Quis relationship makes me bawl

Coruscant is an entire planet that is covered by a 1000+ layer city.

In the old republic, there were more than 2 Sith. Eventually they created "The Rule of Two". Effectively it caused the Master to train the Apprentice, they would then fight to the death, and the winner found a new Apprentice.

More in-world/lore for the lightsaber colors: Green is usually used by Jedi Consulars. They try to find the most peaceful, diplomatic solutions to situations before busting out the lightsaber. Blue is used by Jedi Guardians. They are the more proficient with a lightsaber, and are more skilled in melee combat.

Yoda taught Dooku, who taught Qui-Gon, who taught Obi-Wan, who trained Anakin. Palpatine taught both Dooku and Anakin. And then there's multiple master-appretice duos that you don't know about yet that are involved in this chain

I personally think Hayden is a good actor, I just think they didn't give him or Natalie Portman that good of a script. Not to mention, his fighting style is so good. 💜

the rule of two was made about 1000 years before these take place. the sith used to be a larger group just like the jedi, but as darkside users seeking more power, there was alot of in house killing and fighting. in the last major war between the sith a jedi, basically the sith were wiped out except for a handful of sith, one of which being was a powerful leader who already had beef with the sith fighting sith, so he formed the rule of two so the sith could hide in the shadows. a master to hold the power, and an apprentice to crave the power.

I genuinely cannot wait for you guys to watch the clone wars series. Not only is it great tv and absolute peak star wars, but it adds so much more weight to the prequel trilogy and makes you appreciate them so much more ❤

Sith are originally a normal person, like the jedi, they come from normal people that are taught the dark side of the force But jedi can also become sith, and sith can redeem themselves and become jedi

33:03 I just want to mention that when he said 200 000 units, he didn't mean 200 000 clones. He meant 200 000 units as in group of soldiers operating together. A clone unit is in fact composed of 3004 clones.

"These movies are fire, y'all are delusional" You don't know how big of a smile it gave me to hear someone say those words.

The reason the jedi can detect jedi but not sith is because each is consciously capable of hiding their presence in the force from the other side. The sith lord is intentionally hiding his force sensitivity from everyone around him, so the jedi cannot detect him. You are correct that jedi are not as prone to hiding themselves because they want to know each other. As for what makes a sith, not all sith are former jedi. Some sith are raised as sith or become such through other means. It really is just a matter of moral alignment.

I remember Mace Windu being my favorite Star Wars character when I was a kid (mostly due to his purple lightsaber) then after watching The Clone Wars show, I realized he's badass, but a bit of a buzzkill and a bit of a way too by the book individual. 💜

Before seeing Episode III you should see Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars, it has one of the coolest villain presentations

There is a story that Peter Jackson tells. He went up to Christopher Lee when he played Saron and said that when Grima worm tongue stabs you in the back, you’re supposed to let out loud scream and Christopher Lee looked in eye and said have you ever heard a man stabbed in the back And Peter Jackson replied no and Christopher Lee said… Well I have. You should definitely read up on his life. He’s the original OG.

In reference to the little discusion in the beginning about there is only two. It was because a long long time ago there actually were dozens maybe even hundreds of Sith. But all of them were so power-hungry and wanted control that there was near-constant infighting. To the point where one sith, Darth Bane, was worried that the sith would become extinct. So he took one apprentice, and the two went through and culled all of them until it was just them remaining. Then he instituted the Rule of Two. From then on it was always one master who had all the knowledge. And one apprentice who was trying to get the knowledge so that they could be the new master. Because if this they actually grew much stronger through their new focus on growing rather than taking control.

Count Dooku vs Yoda was awesome 😎

20:50 1. Jedi and Sith are opposing force-dedicated cultures (there are others). Sith are not Jedi that turned bad, but Jedi that go bad are often attracted to the Sith. 2. People trained in the Force can sense the Light and Dark in the people and world around them. Palpatine is just very very good at concealing his nature.

I feel like it’s a cool thing to point out that there are only three prominent bounty hunters who are known Jedi-killers: one you’ll meet if (when) you watch the Clone Wars, and then Jango and Boba Fett.

Dooku and Maul are the GOATS bro,The Clone Wars animated show did them justice times 10

They come in pairs due to the Rule of Two. What purpose does it serve? The Rule of Two is a decree established by Sith Lord Darth Bane, which states that there should be only two Sith at any given time: a Master and an Apprentice. This rule was created to ensure the survival of the Sith Order by preventing infighting and internal conflicts that would weaken the organization. Why is it there? The Rule of Two was created to address the Sith’s tendency to destroy each other in their quest for power and control. Darth Bane, who survived the destruction of the ancient Sith Order, recognized that this pattern of behavior would ultimately lead to the downfall of the Sith. By limiting the number of Sith to only two, the Rule of Two aimed to prevent the kind of infighting and power struggles that had previously weakened the Order. The Rule of Two also served as a way to concentrate power and focus the Sith’s efforts on a single goal: to overthrow the Jedi Order and rule the galaxy. With only two Sith, the Master and Apprentice could work together to achieve their goals, rather than being distracted by internal conflicts. In addition, the Rule of Two allowed the Sith to maintain a sense of unity and cohesion, as the Master and Apprentice would be bound together by their shared goal of achieving power and control. This unity would make it easier for the Sith to present a united front against their enemies, including the Jedi. Overall, the Rule of Two was a deliberate attempt by Darth Bane to create a more efficient and effective Sith Order, one that would be better equipped to achieve its goals and survive in a galaxy dominated by the Jedi.

Love this one! Also, love the fact that Ruff is getting so immersed in this world he was comparing Palpetine's chin to the emporer's and he was like Danny Motta when searching for Alex Brightman in Helluva Boss! XD 6:16: YUP! 18:26: Oh. I never noticed that he meant that quite literally. The foreshadowing! The Jango-fett vs.Obi-Wan fight in the rain was intense!

"She sent Luke to the one place he would never go back to." 🤯🤯THAT IS A BAR!!!!!! 🤯🤯

I said it in a previous video and I'll say it again, Clone Wars must be the show that you watch next, it has a lot going on and every series that came after is somehow connected to it

0:51 people rag on about the CGI vs practical effects on the prequels constantly. However. Episode 1 alone used more practical effects and physical props then all of the original 3 movies combined. There’s not as much cgi as people think once you look into it

An army of Space Kiwis, a formidable force indeed.

22:48 someone probably said it in the episode 6 reaction, but Luke's black suit is white inside, which was revealed when he announces that he was a Jedi like Anakin towards Palpatine in the climax of the movie

Mace uses the 7th form of lightsaber combat where he taps a bit into the darkside of the force which is why his Kyber crystal is purple

The scene of Anakin telling Padme about the Tusken tribe (the Sand People) is constantly getting made fun of, and I just watched it in this video and teared up a bit. Maybe it's just because of Anakin's story in general and how deeply, deeply sad it is (especially thinking about the subtext and stuff like Clone Wars), but I also just think that Hayden perfectly portrays Anakin's rage and desperation to be stronger and need for revenge

Besides Dooku being Yoda's apprentice, He is a master duelist and one of the stronger siths when it comes to dueling, He's very composed and intelligent

1:18:42 In case you didn’t know, this part in the scene wasn’t scripted. Sir Christopher Lee was genuinely startled by Hayden Christiansen’s ad lib bumrush, and conjured force lightning irl out of instinct George Lucas liked it so much he left it in the movie

If you listend to the Weird Al song about Star Wars he tells you the ages... Anakin was 9 and Amidala was 14 during Phantom Menace.

The sith were originally a race of alien who have darkside force powers naturally. Dark Jedi thousands of years ago found them, subjugated them and interbred. Back then there were thousands of sith. Eventually thousands of years later Darth Bane made the Rule only 2 sith 1 master one apprentice. The apprentice would eventually overtake the master and kill them to power creep the sith. Back in the day before Bane the sith always interfought causing them to never get anything done.

I'm going to defend the romance a bit. As Jedi are taught not to have attachments or show emotion so with Anakin being a teenager with raging hormones of course he is going to be awkward and not know how to act feeling in love for the first time.

Palpatine not only has the ability to mask his Dark Side aura/presence, but he also masquerades it behind artifacts he has put in his Chancellor's Office, which has connections with the Dark Side. It is one of the reasons why Palpatine is so confident in hiding himself in plain sight of the Jedi, mocking them. It is also a subtle jab back at the Jedi who have their Temple built upon a former Dark Side something (can't remember what it was called) which was done to supposedly "balance" out the Dark Side aura there. But that happened well over a millennia ago, lore wise.

You would LOVE the 2003 animated clone wars limited series. It takes place between episodes 2 and 3. The entire series is about 2 hours long, is action packed, emotional, funny and has some of the COOLEST lightsaber fights and battles in all of Star Wars. Debatably the best prequel media too.

Common misconception, the Storm troopers are NOT clones, reason why they can't hit shit, when the clones on the other hand were perfect soldiers

In this movie Anakin is age 19 years old and Padme is age 24 years old

Theres also a theory that R2D2 is actually the main character, being the only one fully present in every movie+

About their hairstyles, jedi padawans generally have short hair with a learner's braid in it (either one or two). When they complete their trials and are about to graduate and become jedi knights, the grandmaster in command cuts their braid off with their lightsaber as a way to signify that they are no longer a learner. That's why Obi Wan had the braid in The Phantom Menace, and didn't in this one.

The Rule of Two came to existence thanks to Darth Bane after the Sith Empire at the time got completely decimated by both the Sith and Jedi. Basically until then the Sith would form large organizations to take over the Galaxy, with a Main Sith Lord running it. Being Sith, the most common way to get a promotion was to kill your boss, and the best way to keep your job was to kill your overly prospective staff members. Obviously this does not lead to a long term functioning organization, and between Jedi attacks and infighting, the Sith got destroyed. So Bane looked at this and realized this basically happens *every single time* a Sith Empire forms and was like “ok something has got to change.” So he basically killed all his rivals that managed to survive the war and took on an apprentice. The idea being with just 2 Sith, you’re not going to have that constant infighting. Sure your apprentice is probably gonna come kill you, but with only two of you around that’s not going to be happening every Tuesday. Plus with only two people, that makes it stupidly easy for you to hide. And Darth Bane was right, that sentiment worked pretty successfully for thousands of years.

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 aklay (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 could have a purple lightsaber, so he could find himself easily during the Battle of Geonosis in the sea of blue and green lightsabers....and because it's his favorite color. (Mine too, honestly)

The red lightsabers for the Sith are explained in Knights of the Old Republic. I'm forgetting a couple details, but here's the summary. Lightsabers are powered by unique crystals in their hilts, and there is a giant insect species that eats those very same crystals. The eggs of these insects are each laid along with a small piece of crystal to eat when they hatch. If one destroys the egg, thus killing the young, that crystal turns red. Sith lightsabers are literally fueled by infanticide.

I'll always remember watching this at the first showing in my town. When Yoda whipped out his lightsaber to fight Dooku, it was the first time I've been in a theater where everyone was screaming like they were at the Super Bowl.

Really hope you plan on going through the Clone Wars animated series. It's straight up one of the best pieces of Star Wars content outside of the main movies.

If you guys are going in release order, before watching Revenge of the Sith, there was a 2003 2D animated series by Genndy Tartakovsky that connects the two movies together. Star Wars: Clone Wars. The whole thing is about a movie in length altogether and can be watched in one big video. And I would say it's almost required watching for Star Wars fans as it's the series that introduces characters like Ventress and General Grievous.

"There is always two, a master and an apprentice". This is a rule set up by a previous Sith lord. Before, when there were too many sith lords, there were always power plays, stabbing in the back, and getting in the way. So, one of the sith lords set up a rule that there would only be two sith. Master and apprentice. And to become a master, the apprentice must strike down his master.

Fun fact about the clones, they were all CGI in both this movie and the next. They never made a physical clone trooper costume until Andor on Disney+.

Force is Force, every life form has it. Some are more in tune with it. Some have talent to wield it. Obi Wan said its a muscle you have to learn to use, like people who can wiggle their ears. Anyone can cook, the midichlorian count just say how strong the connection is, how powerful you are. Leia has as many midichlorian as Luke, Luke just has the training and better connection, cause Leia refused to see Vader as her father and redeemable Light and Dark is just a childish way of seeing it, like Qui Gon said before he was gone in the first movie: be aware of the living force, here and now A Sith can hide and mask his presents in the force, more like a smoke screen so others cant sense them. Some say the face we see on Palps is a mask, he got weekend in a fight and the wrinkly face is his real face he hides.

Another part of the Jar Jar is a Sith theory is in the first film. When Padme is on Tatooine in the first film and arguing with Qui Gon, you see Jar Jar off to the side mouthing what Padme is saying. Implying he is using the force

Several fun facts for ya: Sam Jackson's sabre prop, in addition to being purple, apparently has motherf*cker written on the handle due to a clause in Sam's acting contract where he _must_ always have something or say something with that word. Another Windu fact is that he, in much the same vein as Dooku but at different times, was Yoda's padawan. Oddly, both Dooku and Windu have history of struggling with the dark side; Dooku, later in life, and Windu when he was much younger. Also, of Jedi titles, Yoda is the grandmaster but Windu is the Master of the Order. The actor who plays C3PO was quite mad at being replaced by a CGI model because of his belief that his body language is more believable as a robot. Bonus fact: he is the only actor who voices his character in every single piece of media from movies, shows, and games (at least as far as I know). Dooku's turn to the dark side sadly came from news of Qui-gon's death thus showing that he deeply cared about someone else despite his often cold demeanor. Dooku is also the only Sith to never have yellow eyes; his remain blue throughout. Jango's backstory, or at least his original one prior to Disney's fanfic retcons, had him part of a Mandalorian sec that was entirely killed by a group of Jedi. Jango proceeded to beat all of them to death by himself and barehanded. The resulting aftermath was found by a younger Dooku which is why the former Jedi chose Jango to be the source of the Clone Army. Dooku is played by Sir Christopher Lee whose life is quite possibly more fantastical at times than most of fiction. Lee was a WWII spy, his cousin based the James Bond series loosely off of his life, he actually knew a decent bit about swordplay, he met the Russian Queen and had her help when he portrayed Rasputin, he played several horror characters including Dracula and Frankenstein's monster, he was Saruman the White in Lord of the Rings and the only actor on said set who had met and had lunch with JRR Tolkein, he lectured Peter Jackson on what a man stabbed in the back sounds like, he can trace his lineage back to King Charlemagne, and, my personal favorite, he loved Symphonic Metal of which he had made at least two albums of which you must listen to - they rock! I have more fun facts for Episode III, can't wait!

OH! You guys should play the STAR WARS games for the N64! One of em is racing related! 👀

11:05 Space New Zealand actually. Also Idk if this is right since I'm not Ace, but Jango gives me Ace vibes, like why else would you find such a roundabout way to procreate?

Fun fact about dooku. He has a curved hilt because he practiced lightsaber form 2 which is specifically design for lightsaber dueling, and the curve hilt gives him a slight edge when dueling other jedi. Most consider dooku to be the best lightsaber duelist of his time and top 5 of all time.

Technically, Jedi can have sex. They just can’t fall in love.

Clone wars is a Must…it expands the lore of the prequels…finish 3 then watch them…trust me…you won’t be disappointed

The thing about a lot of Padme’s early interactions with Anakin is she’s actively trying to put distance between them because she’s into him. The line about him looking at her? Yeah it made her feel a certain way which in turn made her uncomfortable because she knows she shouldn’t have those feelings for him

Fun fact: the Jedi screwed themselves over because the precursors to this Jedi Order built the temple over the remains of an old sith temple in an attempt to contain "the darkness" that permeated the facility, but actually ended up corrupting the jedi a little bit so they couldn't sense the sith's dealings

Ah yes....the one with Sand. 💜

Can’t wait tell they watch clone wars

A thing to remember as well. In Phantom Menace they measure Anakin's blood for midichlorians. It is revealed iirc in that movie but also the CW that these tests are done throughout the republic and the majority are taking as babies by the order. It's why they said he was too old to be trained. He had attachments that would've been prevented had they picked him up as a baby. In the books (plageus mainly)its said the ones the jedi don't take are kind of not worth the effort anyways and the Sith spend their time trying to find the exceptional ones the Jedi missed. Extra Note: the sith do have a power to conceal themselves from the force. So to the jedi through the force Palpatine appears like an ordinary person , meanwhile in the OG trilogy the Sith no longer have any reason to stay hidden. The Jedi are all but gone why cover up when there is no one looking?

I still have this movie on VHS and it has this part right before the movie starts where C-3P0 and R2-D2 will come on screen and give the audience a small recap of the story and it's really funny.

If they love r2d2 this much, can only imagine what their reaction to chopper would be.

I love you guys, but if you dare say that Temuera Morrison is from Australia, I'll turn your skin into wallpaper 🇳🇿😉 ❤😀🇳🇿 New Zealand pride babbbyyyyyyy

This is HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE STAR WARS. I've been HYPED for this one! Billy is strapped tf in boys 😂

There is the dark side and the light. It's real easy to spot things in the light, but it's difficult to see things in the dark. It's hard for jedi to hide their presence, their thoughts, it's very easy for those with the dark side to hide their intentions from other force users. That's why sith have to be really observant of their masters/apprentices because it's hard to tell when they are about to backstab each other.

I WISH with all my heart that they react to the 2003 animated Star Wars Clone Wars that serve as a great connection from Episode II to Episode III
