Children start their Jedi training at extremely young ages, and clearly much younger than Anakin. Yoda's statement of "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering" is a warning of what can happen when Jedi fall prey to their selfish emotions. Jedi must be completely devoted to The Force, so they need to be able to have control over their emotions and limit their personal attachments, even to family members like their parents. So they have to start their Jedi training before those emotional attachments can develop. Jedi are meant to be selfless, but emotional attachments like familial or romantic love can make you act in selfish and even dangerous ways, putting your own desires over the needs of others.

Remember that Yoda was also skeptical about training Luke.

That's why Jedi trainees were taken as babies/toddlers (i. e. Grogu} to avoid missing parents, etc.

The Naboo “jet” is modeled after the American SR71 reconnaissance plane. As for Jar Jar Binks, the character is… Honestly, it doesn’t matter who you are - whatever your ideology, ethnicity, or social status - the character has only one redeeming quality: He brought the people into the fight… as badly as they did. But at least they did the decoy.

B1 Battle Droids: an example of quantity over quality.

The new enemies and the canyon action adds a lot. The special effects are top notch and the story picks up after a while. Seeing Anakin fall from grace is heartbreaking, but deep down he hated the one who made him that way. Thank you for sharing this reaction. May the Force be with you.

"There's always a bigger fish." Fun Fact: Film debut of Ahmed Best. Actor Preparation Fact: Ewan McGregor studied many of Sir Alec Guinness's films, including Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), to ensure accuracy in everything, from his accent to the pacing of his words. Cameos Cameos Fact: Producer Rick McCallum appears on the right, in a floppy wide-brim hat, when Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) meets Senator Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid). Sound designer Ben Burtt appears to the left of Rick McCallum (with goatee). Visual effects supervisor John Knoll plays the Naboo pilot who gets killed during the space battle. Sound Effects Fact: The sound of the underwater monsters growling near the beginning of the film was made by the main sound technician Ben Burtt's three-year-old daughter. The sound of her crying was recorded and the frequency lowered to obtain the sound heard in the film. To create the sounds of the spectators during the pod race scene, sound designer Ben Burtt took a recorder to a San Francisco 49ers game, and recorded the crowd's reactions. Double Duty Fact: At the time of the film's release, the producers ran a disinformation campaign to suggest that Natalie Portman played both Padmé and The Queen at all times. In fact, they are not always the same person. For many sections of the film, notably those where The Queen is wearing the black outfit with the huge feather headdress, she is actually a decoy, played by Keira Knightley. The real queen, Portman, is actually disguised as a handmaiden. Various conflicting public statements make it extremely difficult to figure out who is who. Whole websites are devoted to figuring out which actress is playing which. However I have seen some people that can tell which is which. The Rest Of The Story Fact: Liam Neeson was so eager to be in the film that he signed on without having read the script. Keira Knightley's parents tried to convince her not to audition, but the twelve-year-old actress still sought a role, given she was a Star Wars fan. Jake Lloyd has said that he retired from acting because of the trauma he experienced after playing Anakin Skywalker. According to Lloyd, other children constantly teased him about the role, for example, making lightsaber sounds whenever he walked by. Lloyd also said that the situation was made worse because, in his opinion, the film did not meet the fans' expectations. Despite this, Lloyd has reprised the role of Anakin in several video games and has appeared at Star Wars conventions and events.

"At least made it fair he doesn't have two weapons" Ha ha for real

"Jar Jar Binks was the first ever truly successful CGI character - because nobody complained about his CGI, they only complained about how insufferable the character was. We all COMPLETELY believed in Jar Jar Binks." -Leigh Grainer, Mostly Walking, 2018 Say what you will, he was an absolute technical marvel for the time. I grew up watching the prequels and when I was older, watching countless videos about them. Even today, the focus is never the quality of his CGI - just his character. He's just as real to everyone as any human character, and I think that's amazing. And yes, having watched many others react to these films, I've seen countless people who had no preconceived notions of Jarjar who actually loved him, much to the disappointment of their comments. 😂 Some people just find him to be a fun, silly character, but you're right that he's objectively pointless - although I subscribe to the theory that he was intended to be the true Phantom Menace.

I think my biggest problem with Phantom Menace is that it tries to have its cake and eat it too, by balancing its kid friendly elements like the slapstick lampoon comedy of Jar Jar, while also having a lot of dense Galactic political stuff like Senate proceedings and diplomatic tensions, like we're watching Mr Smith Goes to Coruscant. The film is clearly trying to please everyone at the same time and it just doesn't work. I think that's why you see a big dramatic tone change in Revenge of the Sith and to a lesser extent in Attack of the Clones, because Lucas realised that he couldn't keep sitting on the fence and actually had to pick a side moving forward.

Funfact: Which i guess not many even notice: Maybe important for your next reaction soon: Chancellor Valorum, played by Terence Stamp is Zod..from Superman II. Or as i call him ZOOOOOOD! ;)

A padawan is a jedi apprentice (with the rat tail). Obi-wan is a padawan at the movie beginning and Anakin is Obi-wan's padawan at the time. Jedi usually snatch children very young so they can replace the parents with the Jedi cult in the child's affection and loyalty. There was a Palpatine in Episode 4? (Winks with wrong eye.) Really? Anakin does stay in the cockpit. The Gungan shield is based on water surface tension, the same shields that keeps water out of their buildings. It can be walked through, but selectively stops some things. The boss Gungan is voiced by the great Brian Blessed. Darth Maul is Ray Parks. He's not a good actor, but excellent at martial arts. You can see how he controls his center of mass as he moves in the fights.

I feel like if Qui-Gon had lived, Anakin might have still turned but it may have been a bit different because Qui-Gon would have made Anakin feel like he could talk to him about his problems and not simply be told to let go of everything. Qui-Gon is my favorite Jedi across the saga, not just because Liam Neeson portrays him, but because he comes across as a wise sage who sees and embraces a larger picture of the Force than most Jedi would.

'he is too old.' Also, 'you must unlearn what you have learned.' The Jedi training is like getting released from the Matrix. Some are too used to the 'reality.'

despite its obvious weaknesses, the movie is worth watching (especially on disc - we can just skip the jar jar scenes there!). showed us the beginning and gave us some iconic characters - qui gon jin, darth maul, and of course, padme-amidala.rey park (dart maull) to this day causes wild excitement in the fans, demonstrating to them live the movements of his hero!

I love how you always recognize the Wilhelm scream! Keep spreading the awareness 😂

22:59 "The _battle_ is a _diversion."_ Queen Amidala demonstrates the most _incredible_ tactical aptitude. _Especially_ for her youth. In the US Armed Forces, they teach a list of leadership principles, one of which _clearly_ states, "Be technically and tactically proficient." Additionally, a military treatise first published in the 5th century BC, called _The Art of War,_ by the ancient Chinese General and military philosopher Sun Tzu is required reading at every military academy we have in the US, and probably the military academies of many _other_ countries. It has the words, "All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near." So, first, note Amidala's knack for deploying a _decoy._ _You_ saw through it, but only because you had previously seen Amidala as Natalie _Portman._ The Gungans were taken _in_ by it. Even the _Jedi_ were taken in by it up until the big _reveal._ But second, note her assessment about the forthcoming battle. Her adviser warns her that the prospects for victory are not good and she replies that victory in this particular battle is _irrelevant,_ because it's a diversion from the battle that _really_ matters. It's a _big, dramatic, conspicuous_ display that does a good job of making it look like the Naboo/Gungan task force is pushing for _one_ objective, to compel the occupation to dispatch forces to _oppose_ it that will direct necessary forces away from _other_ points, making them vulnerable to a siege from a much _smaller, inconspicuous_ force. By and large, this movie falls _far_ short of the standards set by the _original_ trilogy, but its _tactics_ are _brilliant._

A nitpicker would notice that all the Federation droids have the same scratches. Transports, too.

The phantom menace ; is Darth Sidious ! who is the single greatest representation of the Sith emerging from - thought (extinction) .. but Darth Sidious plan was to infiltrate the republic and create division which would ultimately effect the Jedi order, .. which was his primary target!! so in this movie Darth Sidious creates a trade dispute preventing access via trade routes to Naboo, however Ben Kenobi’s master Qui Gon realised there is no purpose in it, thus allowing the senate to focus on a way in which to settle the dispute!! and at the same time without being detected!!!allow Darth Sidious the necessary time to begin play for a place within the senate and then make way for his true mission …. eradicate the Jedi order …. The story continues

people cheered this movie in theaters i loved it , we waited a long time for this one.. it was the biggest movie of the year, and very cool at the time

I love that song at the end while darth maul and obiwon are fighting. It is called the dual of fates, and I saw a you tube video theorizing that meant if quagon gin survived that thing would have been better with Anakin

14:45 _"Fear_ is the path to the _Dark_ Side." That's a line that just might end up a tad _cloying,_ as you work your way through the prequel trilogy. Emotions in this trilogy, _somehow,_ keep ending up a path to the _Dark_ Side. Being a Sith _sucks,_ because the only emotions you can feel are _anger_ and _rage._ But wouldn't you know, being a _Jedi_ sucks, _too,_ because you have to be _stoic_ about everything. Paths to the Dark Side are all _over_ the place. You can't let anything make you _happy,_ because happiness leads to the _Dark_ Side. You can't let anything make you _angry,_ because anger leads to the _Dark_ Side. You can't let anything make you _sad,_ because sadness leads to the _Dark_ Side. In training as a Jedi, one learns to do a lot of really cool things with the _Force,_ but one dares not _appreciate_ them, because it eventually begins to seem as if such appreciation, somehow, leads to the _Dark_ Side. 🤷‍♂

Jar Jar Binks is what is referred in classical literature as the "parasite". Yes. His character is completely annoying. That's the essence of his character

'I think I'm being racist towards the Jar-Jar characters.' ++ for the charming self-awareness.

35:00 "Very excited to see... how all of these people change. Like is _so against..._ He's _so_ against teaching _Anakin,_ but later, he teaches _Luke."_ Shree, you've seen Episode 5, right? You remember the scene on Dagobah, where Luke first discovers that Yoda is the individual he's been dealing with. You remember how resistant Yoda was, originally. He even raised that _very_ objection. "He is _too_ old." Luke and Ben had to _cajole_ him, _quite_ unrelentingly.

You asked ALL of the questions PPL have been asking about this film for the last 20 years. How could this have been fixed....

As Promised, My Beautiful Padawan, I'm here to bring Wisdom and Knowledge of The Force! 😇🙏 Remember the other day (during Part-1) when I'd asked if You'd recognized "who" that was under the Black Cloak..? Well this should Interest You, because that's the Same Actor (Ian McDiarmid) who'd previously played The Emperor himself (16 years earlier) in "Return of the Jedi." I believe that this Episode's Title ("The Phantom Menace") is actually referring to that Sith Lord who becomes The Emperor😈again!

Happy to see the second part of your reaction video to this Star Wars prequel

You are now prepared to watch the Weird Al Yankovich music video "The Saga Begins."

When this movie was released, I had a work friend that I'd discuss what movies we watched every Monday morning. For the life of me, I couldn't remember a single thing that occurred in this movie. I still love the score though.

The one thing to like about Jar Jar is the theory George wanted him to the big Sith lord pulling the strings behind everything. He starts as a goofy character that a bit annoying, like Yoda the first time he shows up (and the famous line from George himself: "It's like poetry, they rhyme"). Jar Jar "accidents" himself into the polot by running into the two main Jedi, who just let him tag along eveywhere, suggesting he used the "Jedi mind trick" on them. There's scenes where he's off to the side moving his hands and mouthing something as other characters make decisions, like Obi-Wan did back in New Hope. He openly mocks Qui-Gon, the Jedi authority in front of Anakin in attempt to make him see Jedi as foolish. There was something about him standing next to Palpatine in few shots, but I don't remember that one precicesly. Now, as crazy as that may sound, I'm willing to believe it for one reason. Despite everything, the merchandise from the movie was selling like crazy, so George's inverstors or his marketing team clearly like that, but I like to imagine someone told him to seriously kill off this character for the next movie, or they might not get away with it again. While binks doesn't die, he's a cameo at best from now on.

Love the Prequels the most. Just remember Jarjsr was for the kids and for comic relief Admitted could have done better but was 25 years ago.......hard to believe

i personally loved Jar-jar, mostly because of the physical comedy that he provided as well as his strange way of speaking. i took him as more of a clown than anything else.

Jedi usually took force sensitive babies from their families at very young age, because they should not have any attachments to anyone except the Force, the Jedi code forbidd any emotional part of life like family (they are space monks) this is one of the major differences between the Jedi and the Sith

Jedi Padawans traditionnaly begin their training (teken from their parents) at the age of 3 yo... talk about a Dalaï Lama type situation. The lyrics during the Duel of the Fates soundtrack are in Sanscrit, talking about Good and Evil and the inevitability of them eventually doomed to collide with eachother. That music is so epic. Jar Jar serves his purpose; being a clumsy comedic relief that even the in-universe characters hate (not just us although I never really hated him, I just tolerate him being in this story), look at it this way, Jedi piss at him, his former chief, Boss Nass pisses at him and takes all opportunities to get rid of him, even by promoting him as a general because being on the front line while being clumsy is the best way to get killed while still being seemingly honored, all aliens hate him. Even C-3PO doesn't like him, R2 D2 jus farts at him.. Barely only Padmé takes him seriously. So that impression is also given by the story itself. I remember is SW Galactic Battlegrounds video game Gungan campaigns that their politicians are quite egotistical and scheeming. Otherwise they are a brave people, they got to shine is some episodes of The Clone Wars. I wouldn't like to battle a properly trained Gungan commando team to be honest. (if you see that series you'll understand what I mean) Midichloriens are like Mithochondria but they serve as interface to feel the Force. The more you have, the more you'll feel it. Most people have just a few so the Force influences them through their instincts without them knowing, like Han Solo (my theory); no wonder he always gets so lucky. (remember Obi Wan saying that there is no such thing as luck, as far as the Force is concerned. The Trade Federation uses cheap droids to enforce their positions because their own soldiers cost too much and are too much of cowards to really fight. It works in great numbers and against poorly armed opponents but against Jedi and well prepared armies, it just doesn't cut it. Naboo was supposed to be a pacifist world, easy to conquer. (pacifist but still with some security forces and a good dose of self defense training) The interior of the Naboo Palace (throne room, corridors and great staircase) were filmed in Caserta Palace (with some set modifications), near Naples, yes Naboo looks like Italy for a reason... The rest if in a studio. I was in England during Summer 1999. I saw that movie twice before it came in my own country. The second time was the last weekend and a monitor from our group of the linguistic exchange trip, was posted in the corner of the street of the cinema to forbid us to go watch it. I went to the otherside of the block to get to the cinema from the other end of the street, duh, they garded only one side !!! As dumb as those stormtroopers !!! Despite the flaws, I liked the movie enough to watch it twice there and twice later in my country. Fun fact, back then, they used a puppet for Yoda but it was not on par with the Original Trilogy quality, they hated it. So when they switched to CGI in Ep2, they went back to Ep1 to replace the bad puppet with the Ep2 CGI, the one you saw because they were quite satisfied of how the CGI turned out in that second movie. Jar Jar Binks was made by having an actor play the role with a big Gungan head on his own head for height reference, despite that, sometimes Ewan looks directly at the actor's face beneath the character supposed head. And yes, the character is played by a black dued imitating a black accent from somewhere, it's deliberate. I bet that they have their own language but their Galactic Basic (English for us) speech is... broken. Darth Maul was one of the best things of this movie, Qui Gon is easily my favorite Jedi. As you noticed, the Jedi grew a little condescendant and out of touch having nobody to challenge them in a thousand years. Even Yoda. So having to face a potential threat via the Force with Anakin's future being so clouded makes them very afraid when a Jedi should first and formost SUBMIT to the Will of the Force and not try to bind it to their will (what the Sith usually do). Qui Gon is the embodiment of that traditional Jedi behaviour, he obeys the Force while the Coucil tries to go against it to avoid facing their fears, aka eventually be challenged and lose their power. But the next two episodes as well as Clone Wars will be a harsh reminder to the Jedi that they let themselves be blinded by their comfort and arrogance. The Sith played to that, keeping a low profile for a thousand years to get prepared, set their pawns in place before striking at the proper moment....

14:04 "'He's too _old?'"_ Yeah. That point is _weird._ I guess, if you're old enough to _walk,_ you're too old to begin training as a Jedi. 🤷‍♂

24:25 "Once we get inside, you find a safe place to hide and _stay_ there." Why did Qui-Gon _bring_ him here? I mean, sure, later in the movie, he ends up serving a valuable _purpose,_ but QG had no way of knowing that would _happen._

For me, the only worthwhile elements were the pod race and the improved saber fighting. My reaction to Jar Jar was right on par with yours (but I can tolerate him in the Clone Wars series). The other negative was the midichlorians. Yoda easily levitating an x-wing and telling another Jedi they should be able to do the same... yet now you know Yoda does have an advantage because of his record high midichlorian count.

When Anakin had to leave his mom and friends and his village and leaving his life behind...That brings me to this. The Jedi code ... as a normal emphatic human being... is at least for me... the Jedi Code... is Shit. Yes, you have to be young like 3-4 years old like the Shaolin Monks start training. Maybe also because kids are easily to be manipulated. No matter what your intentions might be. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force. Even when fellow Jedi died in battle.. no emotion. No Love nor Hate, nor Joy or Sadness.. they become one with the force. The end.. YES! Without a doubt in my mind! That is shit. That's not how people (and aliens in that case) works. Of course not everything is black or white, but the character Made Windu, for example, was practically stolen from the Jedi Order by his parents at the age of 3 because of his strong connection to the Force... this causes fear of loss and guilt complexes... which also lead to the "dark side" ... the Jedi are themselves to blame because of their traditional behaviour that people like a Darth Vader can or could exist in that case... Seriously, no being is always at peace hell this extreme detachment is not something you should strive for, every psychiatrist should IMHO be horrified by this, denying your emotions, bottling them up etc. is not healthy because you will snap in time! Emotional control and balance are more important! You are allowed to be angry, but you should never lash out in anger! People who have strong connections to others and learned to deal with their darker impulses IMHO know this - the Jedi do not, almost all of them were torn/ripped from their families at a young age and then indoctrinated! They never learned how to deal with resentment, hatred etc. like normal people learn because their parents teach them!

Yes, JarJar is bastardizing Jamaican. The actor got some redemption. He was the Jedi who saved Grogu from Order 66 during Mando season 3. Lucas thinks his movies are for 12 year olds, and require comic relief (C3PO). He doesn't seem to understand those 12 year old fans are now 50. 🙄 Being hated wasn't the kid's fault. He did what he could with the dialogue and direction given to him by Lucas.

I saw this when I was 8. Jar Jar didn't bother me then, and was meant to be comedic relief. As an adult, I can definitely see why people would hate the character, although they took it too far and poured hate (and racism) on the actor as well just like they did with Anakin's actor. If you've seen all of The Mandalorian, a fun fact is the actor, Ahmed Best, got a bit of a redemption as the Jedi Master who rescued Grogu. These movies have always been intended for children. I think a lot of the fandom that are adults just take them too seriously. George Lucas also made the prequels without the editing help of his ex-wife, who was a big reason why the originals were as good as they were. He wrote and directed all 3 prequels and has admitted he's not great at dialogue, so keep that in mind (especially for the next one, which personally is my least favorite movie, sequels included, although I actually like them). Long story short, Star Wars is meant for kids, and George wrote Jar Jar for them to laugh at his stupidity. He does at least get fleshed out more in the Clone Wars series and isn't as annoying.

This movie was fucking epic in the theaters and when maul opened with the doors before the final fighter people lost their shit

As far as the Jedi go, they usually recruit people way younger than Anakin. People recruited at older ages have more attachments and psychological issues and are more prone to turn to the dark side because of it. Usually they recruit children before they get attached to their families to avoid this.

So much of the prequels casts the Jedi in an... interesting light, shall we say. Look past how the movies portray them and look at their actions. They take children younger than Anakin from their parents, train them in a lifestyle of asceticism and combat, and arm them with probably THE deadliest weapon in the galaxy 😬 The Jedi are a cult who train child soldiers... Anakin would have been fine if they left him on Tatooine 😅

I was a kid when the original trilogy came out. I was a young adult when the prequels came out. I enjoyed them, but there was a lot of controversy about whether they were good or not. Jar Jar was definitely NOT a beloved character. Many people thought that George Lucas sold out by making the character Jar Jar to appeal to the kids. I didn’t like him. Great reaction, btw!

Things like Jar Jar Binks and the CGI were very divisive at the time; you either loved them or hated them. I appreciate you being one of if not the only modern reactor I have seen who is not afraid to hate on Jar Jar and call this movie out for its bad parts.

Michael Jackson wanted to play jar jar in makeup this is the better alternative

Awesome reaction of my favorite Star Wars movie!!!!😊😊😊😊

Glad to see you continuing with Star Wars, even if you were annoyed constantly by Jar Jar. I look forward to watching the rest of your Star Wars videos, but I would like to make a suggestion. After you finish with the prequel trilogy, I recommend that you watch Fanboys, as it is about a group of friends that try to steal a print of Episode 1 before their friend dies of cancer. Seeing as how you enjoyed the original, you will appreciate the nods and cameos throughout, with Lucas allowing sound effects and actual props from his movies to be used in the film.

Actually it was a fair bet because sebulba was using loaded dice. 😂

You really end up with enough of Jar Jar by the end of the second movie. And he really only ends up as a useful idiot by the end of everything.

17:29 "Like, don't the Jedi Council... know that, you know, people can _change?"_ That's not really the issue, here. Facts like this lead me to suspect that, deep down, George Lucas must be a bit of a _determinist._ Determinism is the school of thought, in philosophy, that holds that free will is an illusion because all decisions are a reaction to phenomena that previously existed outside of one's awareness. Whatever decisions you end up making tomorrow you were always _going_ to make; that much is not _up_ to you. Anakin Skywalker was the only human being with reflexes fast enough for _pod_ racing because he was able to see events an _instant_ before they happened. That means those events were _destined_ to happen because _everything_ that happens was destined to happen. Such a state is not compatible with the notion that free will exists.

Anakin gives Sam Jackson the stink eye, he hates him , this is key going forward,

Windows XP located at 37:37

👍

Can't wait for the next SW fioms.

Don't worry as you go through the rest of these movies you see less Jar Jar. I think in 2 Jar Jar only gets a few minutes of screen time, and in 3 you hardly see him at all and doesn't even speak.

THESE prequal movies are good , my kids loved em growing up.. at least there is ONE coherent story through the three movies about a boy growing up and history of jedi unlike the new movies that have no clear story connecting the movies at all , they just n=made it up as they go from movie to movie George Lucas did a beter job as storyteller

Yeah, The Phantom Menace is a kid’s movie and Jar Jar was overplayed like a low-talent circus clown, but the next 2 movies get progressively darker and Jar Jar’s screen presence becomes very subdued.

Thank you for reacting to this movie. I have always liked JarJar Binks. Granted he is a clutz and an idiot. And not animated the greatest and doesn't have the best lines. So I can understand some people not liking him, but I don't understand most peoples hatred of him. I still find him funny.

Awesome 😎 movie❤

Not the best one out of the franchise, but still a good movie. And yeah the final fight with darth maul is on top. Enjoyed your reaction :D

🔔 SHREE @ 20:09 GOOD NEWS! "The Phantom Edit "Star Wars Episode I.I: The Phantom Edit is a fan edit of the film Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, removing many elements of the original film. The purpose of the edit, according to creator Mike J. Nichols, was to make a much stronger version of The Phantom Menace based on the previous execution and philosophies of film storytelling and editing of George Lucas.[1] The Phantom Edit was the first unauthorized re-edit of The Phantom Menace to receive major publicity and acclaim and is also considered the first fan-edit of a feature film ever to be shared by an online audience.[2][3]" [The Wikipedia article goes into the details but Y/T blocked posting them here!]

How much of the mandalorian have you seen?

Darth Maul did survive

Personally, when I first saw this movie, I just found Jar Jar kind of _annoying._ I did _not_ respond with the kind of hostility he provoked in _you._ I see what they were _trying_ to do with Jar Jar. Yoda was introduced in _Episode V._ He was a masterfully written sage who complemented the canon _perfectly._ His introduction provided a sense of _profundity_ that the disappearance of Obi Wan, in _Episode IV_ had _robbed_ us of. That feeling was a result, I think, that they were trying to _duplicate_ with Jar Jar. I have to figure, though, that _surely,_ they could've done better.

I can't believe people told you to skip to episode 2. It is EASILY the worst thing that ever had the name Star Wars attached to it. And, yes, I saw the holiday special on tv.

#WhyHaveINeverHeard 'dark-saber'

Besides the fan-film "Star Wars: Apprentice" you may like to watch the cartoon Clone Wars series made in 2003-2005, weird animation style but story wise is really good and fits perfectley to Episode 2 and 3 movies.

You don’t like Jar Jar. Meesaw thinking yousaw crazy…. 😂 just joking…. Had to. Couldn’t help it. 😅

I think I can appreciate young Anakin a little more now than I could as a kid. As a kid, I only wanted to see who I thought were the cool or badass characters, so having more focus on a child actor was not too appealing to me in this or pretty much any movie growing up. But now I see that if they wanted to tell the origin of Vader it makes sense to start from childhood to get the full picture. I still do consider this the weakest film of this trilogy though, and I still find Jar Jar to be a total failure of a "comic relief" character and yes, a hundred times more annoying than Ewoks.

Starwars was created for kids, just because a bunch of old ass fanboys and girls have hijacked the franchise, doesn't mean they have to stop putting characters like Jar Jar in the movies. The target audience is children!

Padawan is a rang, not a name

DO NOT EDIT OUT JARJAR BINKS. just sayin'...

I didn't really like that famous actors and characters drop in this movie happened along side with important information Mace Windu (Samuel Jackson's character), Yoda and Ki-Adi-Mundi (long headed guy) were talking about the fact that the Sith were extinct for a millennium (as Jedi thought) and attack on the Qui Gon made not by some rouge Jedi, but by a warrior who had tattoo of the ancient Sith order was a pretty big deal

I really try but they are still so bad. Their are little things here and there you like , Qui Gonn and Maul are fantastic characters and the score is great. The environments are so stale and wrought with turn of the century CGI that does not age well.

THATS GREAT AND ALL ::but will she watch the clone wars in between episode 2 and 3 as its MEANT to be ? i doubt it. wil she at least watch it AFTER episode 3 ? LETS pray to god she will .. and of course upload it ^^
