The fans when you call R2D2 a protocol droid instead of an astromech droid: “...It’s treason, then.”

“Another happy landing.” This alone makes it the best opening in the prequels.

Palpatine: Kill him. Kill him now. Count Dooku: He's Darth Sidious and he plans to use the clones to wipe out the Jedi. *DIRECTED BY GEORGE LUCAS*

"This is a basically a live action version of clone wars before it was even a thing" The Star Wars Clone Wars 2003 series would like a word with you.

"Twice the pride, double the fall." Think of it like "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" but instead of talking about physical size its talking about how much pride Anakin has

4:42 Best part of this from the novelisation: "Surrender." Kenobi's voice deepened into finality. "You will be given no further chance." Dooku lifted an eyebrow. "Unless one of you happens to be carrying Yoda in his pocket, I hardly think I shall need one."

"Babe, tell me a story :)" "You ever heard the tragedy of Darth plagueis the wise?"

"Twice the pride, double the fall" Dooku is saying that Anakin's overconfidence will make his defeat even worse

I love how Dooku looks at palpatine like “wait this wasn’t the plan!”

In the bible it says: "Pride comes before the fall." So.... "Twice the pride, double the fall."

Damn, my hair looked *fine.*

I love how Dooku taunts Anakin throughout the fight about not using his dark side. Then he does and woops his ass

I love Revenge of Sith so much.

“Dies on Death Star” yeah about that...

Also a perfect ending in my opinion! (to the film, the trilogy, and the series)

5:51 Its a genius reference to the proverb "Pride comes before the fall" basically warning you not to be hubristic. Anakin is overconfident in his abilities and Dooku recognises this, goading him with the fact arrogance leads to failure. Which, come to think of it, perfectly foreshadows Anakin's defeat at the hands of Obi-Wan at the climax of the film...Genius.

The Anakin Trilogy wasn't perfect, but I grew up watching it on the big screen as a kid, and the fights from these 3 movies were mind blowing to my childhood mind.

I WAS HOLLERING AT THE, “Sith lords are our specialty” AS OBI GOT TOSSED ASIDE. BEST EDIT IVE SEEN

When Obiwan asks for “nothing too fancy” it cuts to Anakin asking R2 for all the tricks. That is a wonderful contrast that any dynamic duo need.

Ewan and Hayden are so perfect together

That “His fate will be the same as ours.” Line has lost a lot of meaning with Disney bringing back Palpatine.

„Twice the pride, double the fall.“ basically means the higher your ego is, the harder your gonna hit the ground when you fail.

'Ray'shields! With rays face I literally snorted my apple juice

Calling a Venator Star Destroyer a Dreadnought Me: It's treason then.

'Spring the trap' 'His fate shall be the same as ours' Banter, symbolism & echoes of 'Return of the Jedi' - love this opening. Thank you for this gem!

"His fate will be the same as ours" *they all die on a death star* ......mind blown 🤯

Christopher Lee said more in his expression than any actor I have ever seen. Perfection to it's fullest.

"Dies on death Star 3x" Didnt someone said Star Wars was like poetry?

"My powers have doubled since the last time we met Count" Dooku: "Well that was a month ago"

Anakin: my powers have doubled since the last time we met *count* Douku: literally starts counting

"Sith Lords are our specialty." *Obi-Wan gets hurled across the room.... alternating staredown.... THIS sequence earned you a sub. Great video!

I lold hard at the “Rey Shields” part. I’ve been wondering where she gets her plot armor.

Imagine a whole movie of just Anakin and Obi Wan just out on missions doing Jedi shit (Clone wars doesn’t count)

Everyone: “R2 is an astromech droid not a protocol droid!” Me: “Did he say X-foils instead of S-foils?”

I do love Revenge of the Sith more than the other prequels. I could tell from the first 10 minutes in the theater how much better it was in its urgency, dialogue, special effects, story, lighting, setting, etc. as if Lucas had to tell episodes 1-2 to get to the bulk of the story that he really wanted to tell in episode 3. However, I do remember being initially disappointed with the ROTS opening space battle for the first few years of viewing. Us OT fans were used to SW space battles being about the battle itself (who would win or lose) as well as the rebel pilots and support ship characters playing good roles where the human element was always key. But the opening battle of ROTS highlighted a problem of all the prequels, which was (1) graphics over people, (2) battles over story. The space battles in episode 4 and 6 at least had that human element and importance to them that Episode 3’s didn’t. However, given enough time, I started to realize that this was not the focus of the ROTS battle. (1) The focus was supposed to just be on Obi Wan and Anakin and their mission, set within the context of the larger battle around them. Once I realized that, I could then appreciate the dazzling graphics and epic setting of the battle within which the opening crawl tells us specifically that these two jedi knights are carving their way through on a mission of utmost importance to rescue the chancellor. (2) I eventually also realized that the “meaninglessness” of the battle that I once disliked was also the point. Palpatine had created a fictional war, fought by two great armies of characters who were totally disposable (clones and droids) so that he could get emergency powers, weaken the Jedi, weaken any other powers, then destroy the Jedi, and take over as the empire. The war was supposed to look meaningless, and the battle was just a ploy for Palpatine to get “captured” to lure Anakin in to take out Dooku and come closer to the dark side. It was a glorious battle in scope and wanton destruction, and that was indeed the point. Plus, years of clone wars tv episodes later on showed us that the opening of ROTS was indeed the closest the SW movies would get to recreating the awesome action of the clone wars tv series, and the opening ROTS battle and mission did just that, incredibly well. So while I initially didn’t like several big factors about the opening space battle, I also know that they were of my own doing: I had wanted the battles to be a certain way and focus on certain things, rather than enjoying them for what they were, and trying to understand what they were trying to do all along. So with a few years to sort that out (time to be able to get rid of my preconceptions and misconceptions) and finally just enjoy it for what it is and was meant to be, I then started to really love it about 5+ years after. I say all this to make a point. I bet there are people who have watched the sequel trilogy wanting certain things to happen with the legacy characters, or expecting certain things in the story to have happened because of the legends books or their own preconceived notions, people who may have come away disappointed. But just as time helped me to eventually abandon my preconceptions and objections to the ROTS opening battle, to go from being disappointed by big aspects of it to now totally loving it, perhaps there will be some who do the same thing with aspects of the sequels. Now time doesn’t heal all wounds. There are still things I dislike about the prequels, 20 years later. More time and a change of mind won’t solve them, ever (certain casting decisions, acting, dialogue, etc of the prequels are still an issue to me 15-20 years later). But some things can indeed change. You never know. It’s up to us to keep an open mind and see if the movies themselves don’t change, but maybe we-our preconceptions and misperceptions-possibly do. Who knows. Also, I have always loved the ROTS Dooku-Obi Wan-Anakin duel. To me it felt like the most classic OT style duel of the prequels. It looked way better than their first fight in AOTC. Dooku looked more believable here than in AOTC with the cgi face on a stunt double looking way better here in ROTS. The lighting, fighting, and setting felt more like classic OT, and the banter between Dooku and Anakin felt more like the OT banter during light saber fights. Loved it right then in theaters, and love it still today. Great video, by the way!

3:01 "BESTED BY AN ASTROMECH WHO HAD NEVER EVEN HELD A BLASTER, YOU FAILED!" - Supreme Leader Full Fat Snoke

I always figured “twice the pride, double the fall” meant that the more confident that someone will succeed then failure will be worse for someone who excepts failure as a possibility

Might sound like a nerd here, but err technically, r2-d2 is an astromech droid not a protocol droid.

The ‘Sith lords are our speciality’ still-frame cuts had me dying. Bravo 10/10

"Twice the pride, double the fall" line is one of the best lines in this film. Not sure if you were kidding but this line, to me, means that because anakin believes he is twice as powerful, he will have an even more devastating defeat. It was an arrogant and overconfident comment by dooku

Famous Proverb: "Pride cometh before the fall." ROTS Dialogue: "My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count." "Good; twice the pride, double the fall." Pretty clear it means that the more pride you have stacked up, the bigger the fall is going to be when that tower of pride is toppled. Dooku's looking forward to putting Anakin in his place again.

I remember constantly rewatching the opening of Revenge of The Sith when I was little, it's just that good 😩

I have always loved every part of the prequel trilogy, and I never understood the hate it got. I lived Jar-Jar Binks so much, I don't understand why he disappeared from the next 2 films. I guess folks seeing now the unforgivable mess Disney has made with the sequels, everybody realizes they have been unnecessarily harsh with the prequels, and we're beginning to review them with kinder eyes.

RotS is my FAVORITE SW film, and I was shocked to learn that there are people out there that hate this scene. I've always thought it was brilliant, and one of my favorite moments in all of Star Wars. Up there with Luke's training in Dagoba, and the Throne Room scene in RotJ.

I died at "REY shields".

When you said "Cruising down the dreadnought..." I instinctively, out-loud, corrected "Venator." and then when stated "Bested by a protocol droid..." I said "Astromech." then paused and realized I'm talking to a video narrator.

The battle of Coruscant suite is not only one of my favorite Star Wars soundtracks of all time, but quite possibly my favorite movie opening theme of all time. John Williams was truly at the top of his game when he composed for Episode III.

Revenge of the Sith rocks! Best space battle ever! Great dialogue, "Your swords please. We don't want to make a mess of things in front of the chancellor."

This level also gets you a metric butt ton of studs in LEGO Star Wars

The drums. At the start of episode 3. Gets me every time.

This opening is just beautiful just shows you how good a live-action clone wars movie would be especially considering that hayden and ewan have amazing chemistry

The Star Wars Ring Theory is so incredible. Have you guys looked into how the prequels perfectly parallel (in a mirrored way, not an actual copy. A mirror's reflection is actually opposite/backwards from the prime image) the themes and story of the original trilogy? George Lucas was an absolute genius.

I've decided I dont like being early, I prefer reading all the comments

In german Dooku says: "Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall", ("Pride comes before the downfall") wich is an old german saying :)

The beginning is absolutely spectacular, I love that there’s just this absolutely massive space battle taking place, something that Star Wars has always lacked in my opinion, just a good old fashion epic space battle

Ep2 anakin's and obi wan's interactions in ep2 shows who they are at that point in time. Obiwan is arrogant as a teacher, Anakin is brash, and has been brainwashed for 10 years.

Hmm. Looks like someone who is not full of Prequel Hate. Nice.

The dislikes are stormtroopers trying to hit the like button Edit: This comment is a joke, calm down before anyone wants to start a comment war about how stormtroopers are accurate, yes I’m fully aware they are accurate.

The 2003 Clone Wars was the reason for the opening of Revenge of the Sith, The 2003 Clone Wars ends when the space battle over Coruscant was happening which is why I still consider the 2003 Clone Wars canon

Can we just appreciate how Christopher Lee makes everything better. How well he played his fairly shallow character especially he didn't even have any lines (right before he was killed). I'm really glad we had him in Star Wars for what he managed to bring to it with a somewhat superficial character.

This actually is my favorite opening of all of the Star Wars films, and you also missed one really key portion - John Williams's Battle over Coruscant is absolutely my favorite opening scene music. Those taiko drums! (I hate that they're not in the soundtrack). The Force theme backed with a militaristic drum beat! But yes, this scene does so much to build/show the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin (and Palpatine), plus has several of my favorite lines (you forgot "Another happy landing" ;) ). In some ways the AOTC elevator scene also does what it needs to do in that it shows how stiff/awkward Anakin and Obi-Wan still are with each other...I think really it was the Clone Wars that brought them together. Also, I love love love the way this scene is written in the prologue to the Revenge of the Sith novelization. I tear up every time I read it - it captures the hope and the tragedy of the movie so well: "A pair of starfighters. Jedi starfighters. Only two. Two is enough. Two is enough because the adults are wrong, and their younglings are right. Though this is the end of the age of heroes, it has saved its best for last."

10:07 'Rey Shield' 😂 I died lol.

I agree with Anakin's smooth combat skills and how he cut Dooku's hands off. I pretty much said the same thing when I was explaining that transaction to my GF. I rewind and pause and explained everything to my GF! LOL!

7:56 i love saying "Dewit" that it has become a habit of mine when someone asks me "should i?"

160 likes: 0 Dislikes. "I love democracy"

5:47 - this quote comes from the phrase "Pride cometh before the fall", which in turn is taken from Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall". With Anakin boasting that his powers have doubled, Tyrannus points out that since his pride has doubled, Anakin's downfall will be twofold.

When Anakin spoke to Obi Wan about the Gundar den, it felt great knowing that it was shown in Clone Wars when they were searching Dooku

"And here's to Star Wars" looks a Sequal Trilogy Not you

"Pride cometh before a fall" is a well known phrase. So it makes a lot of sense so long as you're familiar with it

Not just the opening, but the middle and the ending too, they're all perfect, and I love them like the perfections that they are

2:01 "skirmish" is certainly an interesting way to describe the biggest naval battle of the war.

I remember watching this on the cinema, and feeling completely overwhelmed by the awesomeness of this sequence...

Dude, your "Sith Lords are our specialty" edit made me laugh so hard I almost puked. Good editing!

Is this basically the Star Wars version of One Marvellous Scene? Good shit.

“twice the pride, double the fall” means that because anakin is saying he’s twice as strong, he’s twice as proud as before, so when dooku kills him it’ll be more satisfying for dooku and embarrassing for anakin when he loses

I love the look on Palpatine's face while they land the ship. "Oh shit shit SHIT. I am NOT in control of this"

Before you’re too hard on Obi-Wan’s ‘Sith Lords are our specialty’ line, I’d like to point out that in the last 1000 years of canon Kenobi finishes in 2nd place for Sith Lords (1 Kill, 2 Cripplings, 1 Assist) while Anakin himself is in 1st (3 Kills). So... yeah, they ARE the specialists.

"We've lost something" Always gives me the chuckles haha.

The Rey shields joke got me more than it should have, well done 😂

“His fate will be the same as ours”. I never put that line together with the fact that palp, Vader, and obiwan died together on the same ship/ death star

Something you touched on but, i feel, didn't expand enough was Anikin's major flaw. He believes, as the Chosen One, he can save anyone if he tries. Every time he fails, he is sucked more and more to the Dark Side just like he did when his mother died in Attack of the Clones.

The “Sith lords are our speciality” moment had me dying!!!! Pure comedy gold.

Thank you for showing love to episode 3! My favorite Star Wars, it doesn’t get enough love because it’s a prequel. But it’s so good!

Your description of that first shot took me right back to first seeing that movie in the cinema seventeen years ago. Being so familiar with the movie these days, I'd forgotten just how much of an impact it had the first time, rounding the republic ship to see that whole sprawling space battle laid out in front of them... thank-you for reminding me of that :D

6:22 I absolutely love how in the background you can see Palpatine smiling in joy

Oh man Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars movie, granted it could just be because I'm from the tail end of the prequels generation, but I just remember the amazingness of that opening and the movie as a whole and it isn't until recently that I've been able to put that feeling into words in part due to videos like this

YESSS!!! I too adore this opening. Great description of it all. Thanks!

ROTS has always been my favorite....period.

Can we just agree the prequels aren’t that bad

I would like to take a moment and appreciate FFV for being able to breakdown the aspects of the Prequel Trilogy that I genuinely enjoy

This is one of the best opening scenes in cinema history. Great video thank you for the detailed breakdown

I love how Obi wan clings to anakin when he wakes up

Cosmonaut Variety Hour: Part III Opening bad cuz cut content. FFV: Hold my high ground.

I love Backstroke of the West! Ratio Tile and Allah Gold make a great team. Them entering the airship to rescue Speaker D is amazing, Space General is badass, and Ratio being upset about how nobody is there to great them after they land the airship is a nice bit of levity.

It feels like everyone dogs on AoTC's duel, it's easily in my top 3, it's great for completely different reason then it's RoTS counterpart.

Loved Samuel Kim’s music in the background, it’s amazing music.

5:50 The more prideful Anakin is, the more hurtful his defeat will be.

"No loose wire jokes"

I love these star wars videos they're all so good and well made
