The good 2003 one or... The other one?

YESSSSSS!!! CLONE WARS HONEST TRAILER YOU SHILLS! @screenjunkies

@@SmegulonPrimethey already did the 2003 2D cartoons and the movie… we need the 3D show now! And the Bad Batch for good measure cause why not.

@@SmegulonPrime The good one (only one that most people actually care about) was in 2008.

​@@SmegulonPrimewell he already did 2003 Clone Wars series. Now I hope he did 2008-2020 The Clone Wars honest trailer.

Just another reminder that our culture is manufactured by corporations to sell product and exploit child consumer amygdalas.

'cause it's true 😶

It really, really, does.

Until Andor happened

Phantom Menace may have been pretty meh, but it's okay... because so was most of the franchise. Jar Jar just made it easier to notice.

John Williams' music is often the best thing about the films he scored.

I was coming here to say that. For me, the Duel of the Fates instantly earned a place next to the iconic musical themes of the original trilogy.

By far, BEST part of the film.

It's the only reason that fight had any impact. Take away the music and you realise how much of the fight is just them spinning and twirling at nothing for no reason.

Every dragon year, they do a video on this.

When we first saw it, we were but learners now we are the masters.

Glad I'm not the only one pointing out that fun fact 😊

​@@HBarnillNot really

It’s like poetry , it rhymes

Right?? Though how am I only NOW learning it had an MV?!

🎵My, my this here Anakin guy May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Saying "soon I'm gonna be a Jedi Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi🎵

I am sorry I have only one thumbs-up to give.

Don't forget Larry Kenobi.

You mean The 2nd-best song to come out of this. Four words: Duel of the Fates.

Watch out for his Tesla!

That sent me haha

I have no idea what that's a reference to.

@@jiado6893 parody hood movie by the Wayans Brothers, way before they did Scary Movie etc. The original movie title is "Don't be a Menace to South Central while drinking your Juice in the Hood"

Their best effort in a long long time

Oh Jesus

Please don't.

That hurt my brain...and my soul

Mmm, no, don't like that.

I find this deeply disturbing......

nothing goes over 9000! NOTHING!

"What? 9000? There is no way that could be right!"

I see your well cultured. lol It's funny cause I restarted binge watching Dragon Ball, followed Dragon Ball Z, then Super; then the non-cannon Dragon Ball GT, then the movies that I have. 😃

@@Gus-il4bx Yo same! I recently watched DB, DBZ and now DBGT💪😁 For Toriyama 🙏

@@Gus-il4bx It's funny because I've heard that reference in dozens of anime, but I've never watched (or have any interest in watching) DBZ. I keep hoping for an over 9000 compilation video, but I've never found one.

That must have been an amazing moment! I was too little to see it in theaters back then

@@Nargon46 it is a super vivid memory.

Right 😂😂

References: + Padmé and Amidala being the same person + Black Swan (starring Portman) + Keira Knightley playing Amidala’s body double (Knightley played Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean) + Billy Madison (origin of “STOP LOOKING AT ME, SWAN!”) Did I miss anything?

That penguin has got to be involved somehow...@@TheThing88

It make sense too!

I giggled like a small child at that line

Would have been more brillant if they had included the Spaceballs character.

And Padme never said, "Why did Palpatine keep that Speaker he told me was in the Federation's pocket?"

@@SomewhatSlightlyBored I never thought about that

Except he sounds like Liam Neeson quoting a housekeeper during an earthquake.

Palpatine’s behind it all!

​@@NathanDav42 Average Red Letter Media enjoyer

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually, I think this was his second draft. I heard originally it was Obi-Wan's movie. When Obi-Wan gets to Coruscant he enlists Qui-Gon to return with him to help fight the Trade Federation (and Darth Maul) on Naboo. But Lucas had second thoughts and decided to make Qui-Gon the main character, I guess because he didn't think he'd do another master-and-apprentice movie.

Because streaming codecs and bandwidth hadn't converted yet. The trailer was eventually available for download; but the best version was only available from Apple for QuickTime on their Macs.

You could, actually. Looking it up just took you to the movie's website. Unless you had DSL, actually watching the trailer took longer than downloading or streaming it.

My local theater had the trailer before Wing Commander. They wouldn’t refund any tickets once the trailer ran. (Also, it didn’t fare well for Wing Commander when the PC games had a much better cast-including Mark Hamill-than the film.)

Ohh the trailer! I had forgotten how huge the trailer was! "Wipe them out - all of them" I do remember seeing it again and again, so i think you could look it up.

@@BCWasbrough Came here to say this. Had to go on the school library computer to download the whole thing and save it to a zip drive.

Not to forget he's also Zeus, king of the gods!

Parody can never be better than the original at least because it couldn't have existed without it. It doesn't aim to be better.

"Maybe Vader someday later."

Ehhh....I don't like the song. I like some of his other songs, but not his Star Wars one.

@@delta5297 Weird Al also did a song called Yoda.

Never understood the hate toward Ahmed. I put the blame of Jar Jar directly on george.

@@estibon3872 And fans continue to harass the actors for the characters they play and not whoever wrote their parts. Not naming names.

@@jbvader721 Yep, very true and very sad. Also, why not name names? George Lucas is 100% responsible for everything in that turd. Granted, there are some excellent parts, but overall, a turd.

@@estibon3872 To those ppl, if they hate an actor performance, the actor must also be a too-much-liberty diva too.

At least Best got to do some cool Jedi stuff in The Mandalorian

I burst out laughing xD

All the time they need to properly tear this to shreds.

It wasn’t his plan. His master came up with it.

I can't believe it's been that long.

Rightfully? Or is it their own old biases?

@@Dagenspear Rightfully

He’s only in the movie for ten minutes

hmmm... you didn't like he podracer sequence, the lightsaber duels, seeing coruscant for the first time or hearing the music? Must be hard to watch a movie for you if to like one thing it must be perfect.

Just like real politics

@@Arlhem Cope, 2 decent action sequences and John Williams don't make this a good movie.

​@@awesomness36That's what OP just said, the only interesting part.

I was crying of laughter at that XD

I think that one bit has just finally completely ruined this movie for me. The film certainly has its negatives but i actually enjoy watching it, but now it will never be the same again.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't be upset if the Ahsoka character was no more

That joke about Watto’gasms reminded me of the Star Wars episode 1 racer game. 😂

@@thedude4672 Agreed. Ahsoka after the Clone Wars (but before the Disney season) isn't good anymore.

There was no one his equal to critique his script. Spielberg got a sneak peak but I don't think got the script. And when Ben Burtt sat in the editor's chair, it was all filmed and too late. Though he could have at least taken out the line about "another pathetic life form" which tells us to hate Jar Jar and Anakin. But actually, I think it was second draft. It was originally Obi-Wan's movie with him meeting Qui-Gon on Coruscant and getting him to go with him/them to Naboo. But Lucas wanted a master-and-apprentice movie, so changed it.

I think Padme has a decent arc. She goes from hiding to fighting.

​@@nbarbettini Hardly an arc when we never really see her challenged or see her personality change or develop in any meaningful way. She just reveals herself in the end and fights

@@nbarbettini She goes from hiding to fighting back to hiding and crying.

@@SimBol1216 I forgot how truly dreadful some of her scenes were, she is all over the place. Like in the delivery of that line about the trade federation, how can you be wooden, bored, stilted with an odd inflection while reading off an autocue like you are talking in your sleep??? Well she manages it...

​@@Simon-xc5oyThat's all thanks to Lucas' direction. Natalie Portman & Keira Knightley are excellent in everything else they've been in.

Don't lump me with the haters. After IV, V, and VI, this is the only other Star Wars movie I like. And I quite enjoy the simple amusement of Jar Jar.

Everyone hates Obi?

I bought a Gateway in 2000. Hated it. It always crashed.

You mean Pentium III. Unlike A New Hope, Pentium 4 did not use roman numerals. 😜

@@Lightkie Correct, thanks :)

Lucky;-p. Pretty sure I fried my Pentium I playing Rebel Assault II and edited my first Ep 1 sound effects on my Pentium III.

@@mayowankenobi I almost fried my previous Pentium Pro 200 by overclocking it to 266 Mhz... At least it booted to DOS - when an actual large fan was blowing onto it. :D 233 MHz was stable though.

Jar-Jar is not only a "Sith agent", he is easily the hidden master of Darth Sidious. At last, he will reveal himself, Darth Clumsy will rule the galaxy!

I left the theatre thinking, "maybe the next one will be better." I was wrong. "Revenge of the Sith" was okay.

Could you please explain it? I didn't get it!

@@BillybooneLook up ‘Liam Neeson story about wanting to hurt a black guy.’ It’s pretty bizarre..

came here to say this! 😬🤣

They did basically the same joke for his _Men in Black International_ character. Not that I'm complaining.

@@Billyboone One of Liam's friends was killed by a 13/50 when he was young, so he went walking the streets at night hoping to be accosted so he could retaliate. He confessed this in an interview in the last couple years to point out how rage can make people want to do terrible things, and how bad that is. People like SJs took it to mean that Liam is racist.

The Phantom Menace is closer in age to Return of the Jedi than to the last sequel The Rise of Skywalker.

Leave it to Lego to make Darth Jar Jar a reality, and Ahmed Best is the GOAT for reprising the role.

"Messa absolute dream of so" :)

They’re actually using Darth Jar Jar in the Lego Star Wars movie. Using the same guy.

We shouldn't criticize kids for liking their first time blockbuster experience. Had more kids had their opinions put on the internet in 1999-2000 then it would have brought balance to the criticism made by the older generation that had their childhood saved by the original _Star Wars_ after Vietnam.

I felt the opposite. It's fast-paced and never bogs down.

@@JustPippaNY One thing I hated about “The Force Awakens” is that it never slows down. It’s just one action scene after another without a break.

​@@mborokAgreed, I think the juxtaposition is an interesting commentary on how much "faster" movies have become now.

I can only speak for myself, but I'd rather have a film go too slow than too fast

But at what cost...

Two nice scenes don't make a good movie.

That's unfortunately rather a low bar, especially at this point.

And the sequels were worse. And it was never that bad to begin with.

@@mateuszmarciniak2828 The worst sequel is 10 times better than this.

The pod race and the Duel of the Fates were great on the big screen. Everything else? 🤮

and the headless horseman stunt double in Sleepy Hollow

Aw hell no, I'm not even 30 yet 😭

What are you, five years old?

Lol I remember when there was not only no KZfaq, but no internet at all. Don't talk to me about old.

Would love that! And the Sopranos also had its start 25 years ago.

This👆

Yes please... Do the Sopranos

Gabagool

Epic Voice Guy never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

Lol I had to back it up just to make sure I heard him right 🤣

It was actually a prank by a bunch of Druid teenagers (“Hey! You kids get those rocks off my lawn!”)

I think each of the prequel movies has its own major flaw. For Episode 1, it's the failed attempts at humor. For 2, it really drags in the middle. For 3, it's that there's no emotional attachment in the first half of the film. Oddly enough, years later, TLJ managed to combine all of these flaws into a single film. But I digress. When I saw it with my friends, one of them commented that he believed that episode 1 was lighthearted to set a tone, one to contrast with the darker parts of the story to be told in episode 2 and 3. Personally, though, based on Howard the Duck and such, I think it is more a Lucas issue, with nobody on the team being able to say, "Nope, this sucks, George. It needs to change."

@@Axterix13 I feel that RedLetterMedia really nailed what was wrong with the Star Wars Prequels and it was a lot. There was just so much wrong with those movies and the Sequels being terrible doesn't make them better. Lucas is clearly one of those creatives who works best with someone supervising them to keep him from going full Lucas and not just surrounding him with a bunch of yes men.

But people are not entitled to claim MY opinion has changed and that I'm now one of millions who realize how wrong we were about this inept POS when it first came out. Thanks to HT for telling these toxic retconners that their plan ain't working.

The prequels were the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise. Shoulda left it at 3 movie

If only that were true. Sadly people seem to be more unified in what they hate then in the things they love. I hate to say it, but maybe we should listen to Rose Tico.

​@@kevinbhieey9188You sound very angry that other people enjoy something you don't. Come on dude it's been 25 years. If you're still whining about your childhood being violated, that's on you not anybody else. May the force be with you because you need it.

Don't tempt them, or they'll make a really bad single-season series that overexplains every single detail about him.

@@BleachFan2588 I guess we can't have it both ways, I'd settle for a one off movie of Qui-Gon and maybe Mace on a single high-intensity mission

@@slowflowsen498you can also just read the Jedi Apprentice books.

We know Qui-gon likes a tortilla made entirely out of dorito.

Originally it was Obi-Wan's movie, with Qui-Gon showing up to help Obi-Wan fight the Trade Federation and Darth Maul at the end.

Yes, another Stanley Kubrick film would be great! 2001: A Space Odyssey or Eyes Wide Shut could also be fun. Or a trailer for his whole filmography

@@Arawn2020 Including his two 1950s documentaries

While I enjoyed all of Kubricks films. I always got the impression that he really hated the human race.😮😮😮

Somewhere in the next year you will be 10.000 days old (27 years and a few months) You can do another celebration if you like :)

I can't believe I was just 19 when this movie came out and now I'm double 22.

@HarmonicWave same. At least I'm not alone...

My youngest son saw it at 2 years old in the theater - he said his favorite part was: "Darth Maul - cut in half!" : )

Star Wars turns 50! 2027! 🎬

I watch all of those probably about once a month

​@@johnnythewalrusShow us on the doll where George Lucas violated your childhood

Wrong

​@mateuszmarciniak2828 You got a counterargument? Phantom Menace has some entertaining setpieces, memorable music, and dazzling planets, but its plot is hardly character-driven. You can easily retitle TPM "Fetch Quests: The Movie".

@@jlev1028 That's entirely different argument from the one the first guy presented. And plot-driven isn't automatically bad. But, since you asked: Qui-gon wants to spare Jar Jar from the other Gungan's punishment, so he takes him with them on the journey. Qui-gon convinces Amidala to travel to Coruscant together. If he hadn't, the film would be much different. Anakin steps in to save Jar Jar from Sebulba, offers the company a shelter during sandstorm and is willing to help them repair the ship, after which Qui-gon takes interest in Anakin, therefore opting for a risky bet that could get him both the repair and the boy. After encouragement from his mother Anakin decides to leave with Qui-gon and become a Jedi. This results with the rest of the saga happening. The senate's unwiligness to take immediate action and Palpatine's manipulation causes Amidala to make a vote of no confidence against the Chancellor and decide to take Naboo back with the help of the Gungans. The Council's unwillingness to train Anakin causes Qui-gon to take him to Naboo and begin training him on his own. Amidala convinces Boss Nass to make peace and aid her with taking back the capital. Anakin, whilst trying to help his friends in battle, activates a starfighter and ends up doing just that and more. Obi-wan promises dying Qui-gon that he will train Anakin.

Also, Episodes II and III still were shot on film. That’s why it’s still called incorporating it toda, with Digital Cameras.

Episode 3 is the real one with absolutely no real outside shot. All CGI screens.

Do prequel fans just don't use their eyes when watching these movies? Because I eyes can tell when something is clearly not a practical prop or a actual location.

​​@@youliseas5711 Nope, incorrect. Mustafar and Utapau are miniatures! Seriously, go watch the featurettes from the Bluray or the making of documentary. They explain all of this.

@@TruthinessChibiOtaku yeah sorry i mixed up with the fact that it's the first full digital Hollywood movie.

I mean at least this one was trying to say something. Even if done poorly at least they had a vision

TLJ was way worse.

@@Nostripe361 I'd gladly take "This is How Palpatine Began" over "Somehow Palpatine Returns" any day.

@@MrPcgamer4everno Rise of Skywalker is worse

You misspelt the Last Jedi 😊

Mm, agreed! That whole fight is so beautiful

Yup, most epic light saber fight ever put to screen by LucasFilm in any movie. Ewan McGregor did a great job matching up to Ray Park. This won’t ever be replicated again unless they get a very, very athletic actor again.

@@SMathai 'unless they get a very, very athletic actor again'...sooo, Tom Cruise? Oh boy! :D

@@ArawnOfAnnwn It’s saying something that a 61 year old Tom Cruise is what comes to mind when we say “athletic actor”. Kudos to the guy for coming top on that list!

Andor is the highlight of Star Wars, but that was a great battle. And Duel of the Fates is iconic

The Gungans in the show were actually pretty cool and probably one of the more effective factions during the clone war.

General Grievous has some interesting qualities. I can think of nothing interesting or even a quality that make Jar Jar anything but insufferable

Wow

Didn’t catch that until now 😂. SW fans are very mysoginistic.

@@diosnelfrica590 Yes, unfortunately; particularly online, and in the years following Last Jedi especially, so I appreciate SJ taking the time in this video to call it out. 😌

Yuuup, definitely the evil evil patriarchy that is flushing SW down a drain. Meanwhile Qui-Gon Jinn is turning in his grave like a spinning top, because every woman in SW getting stabbed by a Lightsaber in the midsection survives, like Sabine, the, in their own words, "worst candiate to be a Jedi the Robot dude has ever known", yet he, the Jedi Master died. Gotta cram that virtue signal in there somehow.

@@DarkSun123456789 Chill, I'm not saying they're the *sole* problem of current SW, I'm only agreeing that they're *a* problem. News flash: Bad writing and/or story decisions you don't like is not an excuse for bullying. 🎬

You still haven't figured it out? After all this time?
