Hey friends! Thanks for accompanying me on another Star Wars movie, I love this world and its characters! Been getting a lot of comments about this, so I'm just gonna leave this here: *yes, I do plan to watch the other Star Wars movies*. I know some of you feel very strongly about them, but please respect my experience as a first time watcher and don't try to influence how I feel about a movie before I watch it. I'd really like to make up my own mind. After talking it out with my Patreon, next we'll do Solo, then Rogue One, then the sequels. I'm looking forward to it! Maybe we'll agree about those movies, or maybe we won't. But above all I hope we can stay respectful and friendly.

When Palpatine tells Anakin to leave Obi-Wan to die, Anakin replied "His fate will be the same as ours". Well, they all died on a Death Star and they were all killed by Anakin/Vader. So, yeah.

"The only thing he was afraid of was..." "Taxes.." You are magnificent.

Congratulations. You’ve watched ALL SIX Star Wars movies.

"No loyalty" .... A good soldier follows orders

They made General Grevious cough so the audience would know he's a cyborg and not a droid. And then everyone in the audience said "Wait, why is that droid coughing?"

Remember Palpatine has been grooming Anakin since he was a small child . The Jedi were very divided about him and I think some were even Jealous of him. Mace being the worst of all of them . Then they wanted him to spy on a Father figure to him. In a lot of ways the Jedi were just as responsible as Palpatine for his Dark Turn. He could not win.

FRESHLY SQUEEZED PULPATINE!!! HAHAHAHAHA im dying lmao

Fast forwarding through the story of Darth Plagueis broke me in half laughing 😭😂😂😂

Me taking a shot everytime Cristy says "Ayy no" 😂

"Those lightsabers are dangerous". Yeah, you could lose an arm (Ba Dum Tiss 🥁).🤣

Qui Gonn spirit taught Obi Wan to become a force ghost, (at the end of the movie Yoda said to Obi that someone returned from the netherworld of the force). In all those years in solitude in Tatooine Obi Wan learnt it. That´s why he told Vader in episode IV: "if you strike me down, I´ll become more powerful that you can possibly imagine".

Anakin did exactly what he was supposed to - àt the start there were thousands of jedi and only 2 sith - at the end, it was balanced to 2 of each.

If Obi-Wan had finished Vader off Anakin wouldn't be around to save the galaxy later. Qui-Gon was right all along. He is the chosen one

"The only tuing he was afraid of was..." "Taxes" That shit sent me!😭😂

The Jedi and their arrogance failed Anakin, as well as being groomed by Palps and the other things that happen. Anakin needed QuiGon. Also The Clone Wars series adds so much to the character of Anakin and his story arc. You see how as Ahsoka puts it “he was the best of us”.

5:31 common misconception. He’s a cyborg and not a robot. He was once a dude then he got super injured and now all his important bits are stuck in a robot body.

‘You interrupted him! He was meditating!’

22:57 actually that’s the exact opposite of the moral of this movie. The moral of this movie is that if someone will do anything for love, they will commit genocide for love and that attachment is a bad thing.

6:35 "My powers have _doubled_ since the last time we met, Count." Not really a necessary boast. The last time these two met, Dooku got away because Skywalker was too lost in his impulses to fight at Kenobi's side as part of a strategy. It was not a shortage of power. It was a shortage of _impulse_ control.

The thing is, particularly with hard core fans that really got into the books, comics and games, a lot of those minor Jedi had very deep and detailed back stories. To see all of those characters that we invested years of following and getting to know, seeing them die like that, it still is traumatizing. To this day.

20:20 "The Dark Side of the Force surrounds the Chancellor." A fact that should tell you a _hell_ of a lot more than it does.

HaHa! No, people did not clap at the intro, they went absolutely insane! I had never experienced a theater roar like that, watching these in the theater was amazing. People would camp in lines outside movie theaters days before the release to be part of the first showing. Star Wars fans are pretty crazy.

"[Palpatine] is out of control" 😂 ....yeah

Yes we clapped and cheered!

"Were gonna slap the dark side out of him" that line was gold.

This movie is an emotional rollercoaster. First time I watched it on theaters, I couldn't speak during several hours until I re-watched the next episodes. Today, I can realize the great CGI and incredible ligthsaber battles. Thanks for your reaction, Cristy.

When Padme was buried, you can see the huge belly. They tried to cheat the Emperor, looking like she had died pregnant.

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

"slap the Dark Side out of him". epic... I love that, Cristy!!

12:33 "That's really scary. Imagine training yourself to not care if you lose your... spouse." That's not exactly what he said, Cristy. He advised Anakin to train himself to let _go._ He advised Anakin to recognize that, inevitably, all life is temporary. The people you love the most will inevitably die, one day. That day might come tomorrow or it might come many _years_ from now. Yoda's advice, just now, was not to train oneself to be utterly _indifferent_ to the fact. It was to train oneself to recognize the fact as _inevitable._

Before this movie was released in theaters, the animated series Clone Wars was released, several important events happened in it, Anakin's appointment as a Jedi, when Padme gives him R2 as a companion, when the Skywalker twins are conceived, when they begin to use the fighters with which they begin the movie, R4 appears several times, the attack on Coruscant, the kidnapping of the chancellor and how Mace Windu wounds the Grivieous, the series ends exactly where the movie begins and ties up several ends of the movie, Later this series was withdrawn to make way for CGI but I am very fond of it, because I had finished watching it the day before the day I went to the cinema. I loved that union that existed between the two.

“Untrusting mumbling” - if ever there was a description of my personality, this would be it haha

Loved the fact that you were so excited about it.

you should watch the clone wars since it takes place between 2 and 3 and introduces you to another character that is a fan favorite

"The only thing he was afraid of was ..." "taxes" 🤣

Yes the theater went nuts when the music and Star Wars first hit. Then it was dead quiet during the opening crawl because everyone was reading it for the first time.

Every time I hear anakin take his first breath as Vader it gives me goosebumps every time

Imo Anikin's walk to the jedi temple with an army of clones behind him is on of the best cinematic shots ever made.

for order 66 u have to watch " clone wars " anime show to learn how it was implanted in the clones , in the army order for the republic ( phantom menace ) ... :)

Anakin: Liar! Her face: 😱😱😱😱

5:37, basically Mace Windu damaged his breathing system iirc. 6:35 btw fun fact, here Anakin says "my powers have doubled since the last time we met count", this wasnt after fighting Anakin in Episode 2, but his powers doubled after the Clone Wars animated series. So hes even more powerful than most people think.

This gal is my spirit animal. "The only thing he was afraid of was...taxes." lol

Grievous was originally a Kaleesh, an organic being. He later became a cyborg, organic mixed with droid parts. He also had health issues, hence the cough.

If you like sword fighting you should watch Blade. He is the vampire hunter from Marvel comics. Blade was the first Marvel movie, and was successful enough that they made two more. Wesley Snipes was crazy good in the fighting sequences. Check it out?

A lot of people overlook this, but when Palpatine says "and we shall have peace", he was blatantly misleading Anakin already. The very first line if the sith code is "Peace is a lie, there is only passion"

Revenge Of The Sith is the movie we’ve all been waiting for you to watch in Star Wars, and I still can’t wait for you to watch The Godfather: Part 2 and also continue more of The Sopranos

43:50 just knowing that Snips is somewhere in the crowd.

I was 14 when this movie released in theaters, I remember loving The Phantom Menace, and thinking Attack Of The Clones was really boring, so my expectations/knowledge going into this movie were less than zero. To make a long story short, this movie blew my stupid little mind, and no movie theater experience has matched it since. Avengers: Infinity War is a close second, but I'd say this movie left a much longer lasting impression.

A bit of fun extra trivia. Although Palpatine was arguably holding back, Mace Windu was only able to defeat him in combat because Windu actually channels a bit of the darkside into his own unique lightsaber style. Thats also why he fights much more agressively (and angrily) than other jedi.

Yoda: Miss the bus, do not... *For that is a path to the dark side*

Cristy, your one liners are genius. Padmé; are you going to kill him? Cristy; No, we're gonna slap the dark side out of him.😂😂😂

28:05 Order 66 was a code word that activated an inhibitor chip in the clones' brains, that is, against their own will. This is explained in one of the episodes of The Clone Wars series. After episode 3, the Empire begins to replace the clones with conscripted soldiers, the stormtroopers, but the clones rebel against the empire after the Chip stops working. (Bad Batch, season 1-3)

Cristy: The Lightsaber fights in this movie have been amazing. Me: You ain't seen nothing yet! LOL!

4:14 "Let's try spinning! That's a good trick" - Anakin, Episode I

27:10 Borat voice: “My Wiiiife!”

Rogue One. Rogue One. Rogue One.

this is where the fun begins

I did a random wookie yell in the theater opening night before the opening theme came on lol. I wasn't even really a Star Wars fan at the time (my mom's the big Star Wars fan), but I pretty much casually knew the movies at that point. I was in this weird era of randomly imitating Chewie at home at the time, and I was actually really good at it lol. So, sitting in the packed theater with my family, and it was quiet while everyone was anticipating the movie to start. For whatever reason, I just impulsively did a big wookie yell right before it came on. The whole theater erupted with laughter and clapped. I wasn't even really hyped for the movie, but that definitely made me feel good 😄... I did get into Star Wars years later though, hence why I'm here lol...

Her face when that big glass bay window broke. 🤭🤭😏👍👍

The way you say "fried" cracks me up 😆

2:57 I went to the midnight showing and my uncle was dressed up in his Darth Vader cosplay and the theater was in up roar when the title came on.

When I seen Episode I the audience cheered and clapped when the text started rollin

They did not speed up Anakin and know and fight and they did not use Stunt doubles for that fight its all Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. They got really good at the sword fighting choreography

I wished in the Phantom Menace, they kept in Anakin beating up Greedo to show that Anakin had anger issues.

I’ve been looking forward to this

"The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural." Gives me chills every time. Love that opera scene. Hey, Cristy! Well, the Palpatine reveal caught you by surprise which is a delightful rarity! Lucas provided visual and vocal cues since "Phantom Menace" that Palpatine and Sidious were one and the same. Ian McDiarmid plays the Emperor in all the Star Wars films in which he appears. He's the one character having a total blast throughout the prequels because he's pulling everybody's strings! His seduction of Anakin is masterful. The absolute best line of the Prequel trilogy goes to Natalie Portman: "So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause." Wookiees live for hundreds of years! In "Revenge of the Sith", Chewbacca is 181 years old! It is a popular belief that Padme's life force was drained out of her and channeled into Anakin by Palpatine which is why her death and his re-birth are juxtaposed by Lucas. Therefore, Palpy is directly responsible for the death of the person he convinced Anakin he could save prompting his betrayal of the Jedi in the first place! A very cruel manipulation. One of the Jedi Order's problems is that they had become ossified by dogma and had lost touch with their true purpose. This made them vulnerable to manipulation by the Sith and blind to their own shortcomings. Iconoclasts like Qui-Gon sought esoteric knowledge beyond ordained teachings to plumb deeper truths and were viewed as troublesome for suggesting the Order had become complacent and stagnant. The knowledge Yoda imparts to Obi-Wan at the end is his discovery of the path to immortality. His spiritual journey is chronicled in the animated "Clone Wars" when he is instructed in the deepest mysteries of the Force. Jedi immortality manifests as the Force-ghosts you see in the Classic trilogy. This was an ability unknown to the Order until Qui-Gon contacts Yoda which is why there are no Force-ghosts in the Prequel trilogy. The Jedi are all but exterminated by Order 66 much like how the Knights Templar were rounded up on a single day, Friday the 13th, in October 1307, by order of the French King Philip IV in a series of coordinated, simultaneous arrests. Emperor Palpatine initiated a smear campaign to vilify the Jedi and expunged any mention of them from the historical record. Philip IV did the same to the Templars demonizing them with false allegations of larceny, murder, sexual perversion, sedition and Satanism that led to their mass burning at the stake with the blessing of the Papacy! Palpy achieved control of a galaxy with his scheme while Philip was simply dodging the crushing debt he owed the Order! The clones are tragic pawns in Palpatine's scheme. They were bred by the Republic and were loyal to their creators serving through thick and thin with their Jedi Generals. The animated "Clone Wars" does a magnificent job of individualizing the troopers. However, they were engineered with a fail-safe to force them to obey executive decisions without question. Initiating Order 66 flips the switch in their brains forcibly turning them against the Jedi whom they previously would have died for. It's a horrifying betrayal not least of which to the clones themselves. Although the Separatist leadership was led by Count Dooku, they weren't privy to the collusion between Dooku and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Each Sith Lord led a faction in the Clone Wars to play both sides against each other creating chaos they could manipulate to their personal advantage! The populations of the worlds which aligned with one faction or the other truly believed in their respective causes which were socioeconomic and geopolitical. The layman had no idea he was just a pawn in Palpatine's grand scheme. With the Jedi exterminated, the greatest threat to his plan was taken off the board and he sent Vader to dispose of the Separatist leadership so he could consolidate power over the organizations they represented. The Separatist worlds relied on the support of those industries and institutions so those worlds would fall in line once those support systems were firmly in the Emperor's grip. The japor snippet pendant Amidala was buried wearing was the same one Anakin carved for her in "Phantom Menace". Senator Bail Organa orders C-3PO's mind to be wiped but R2-D2's CPU is left intact. Artoo REMEMBERS EVERYTHING! Your next stop is to revisit the Vader-Kenobi duel in "A New Hope" right here on YT for an incredible update in SC-38 RE-IMAGINED by FXitinPost! It is recommended that you see the standalone films prior to the Sequel Trilogy. Chronologically, "Solo" comes first beginning 6 years after "Revenge of the Sith", then "Rogue One" occurs just before "A New Hope".

"I thought he was gonna run out and cut all their heads off with a light saber" The jedi way 💪

RotS is the most liked movie. I'm just finishing up something else and when it's over, I'll dive in with you!

You know what they say, small hands and small feet, small light saber.

Yes. People were clapping when this music started playing. After almost 50 years, hearing it still gives me goosebumps. 😃

"So far, Anakin is a great guy" -- at first I agreed with that, and then I had an epiphany: I forgot about the sand people genocide. I think that's the fault of the happy ending of the second movie. It never reinforced the whole "Anakin is a monster" thing. I now see that as a fault in that movie. Thank you for your thought-provoking reactions as always, Cristy!!!

Palpatine may have used the Dark Side powers to control and manipulate life to get the midichlorians to conceive Anakin. The dreams Anakin had about his mother and later about Padme were almost certainly caused by Palpatine. Remember when Anakin told Padme "Jedi don't have nightmares"? Also remember that Palpatine had an extraordinary ability to see into the future, so he may have seen what Anakin was going to become even before Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon met him. Palpatine was playing 5d chess the whole time (manipulating the separatists to create a droid army and invade Naboo, having ordered the clones, getting elected to the Chancellor's position, getting control over the Senate, getting more and more executive powers, starting the Clone Wars, and playing Anakin like a fiddle.

There are only six films. #RIPStarWars

Subscribed!

42:16 "She just knows" I knew a girl who, as a sophomore, 16 years old, had already named her first 5 kids. Of course, she broke up with her boyfriend at the time during the next year, and I totally lost track of her, I don't know if she even has kids at all. (She would be about 50 now)

Alright I am sure a lot of people put this together, but I am sure some didn't for whatever reason. Whether it be because I missed certain scenes or just forgot certain lines. When Palpatine talked about how his master could influence the midichlorians it hit me. A bit of a refresher. When Qui- Gon asked Shmi who the father was. She responded there was no father. That she carried him and cave birth and could not explain it. Now I believe Palpatine used the force to create Anakin. I also believe Palpatine used the force to give Anakin the visions of both his mother and Padme dying.

15:20 that was funny 😂

This is my first Star Wars ever watch revenge of the sith in the theaters.

This is my favorite movie!

Seeing that lightsaber duel between obi and anaki in the theatre is a memory I will never forget also in the novelisation on this movie palpatine linked the life force of anakin and padme so the closer to death Vader became the more life he took from Padme

After this you could watch Obi-Wan Kenobi which is a miniseries that begins pretty much right after this

People did cheer in the Movie Theatre when the Star Wars Music hit and then the Scrolling Text.

I hope you watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story someday but also that you never, ever, ever watch Episodes 7-9.

I laughed out loud at 17:02, Cristy's humor combined with the editor's humor = chef's kiss 💋 I agree the Anakin flip was undercooked. I choose to believe Palpatine had mind control abilities, that's why he was able to hide under everyone's noses, and that's why he was able to "turn" Anakin rotten like an apple. Otherwise it doesn't actually make sense; his character is totally different after he's spontaneously renamed to Darth Vader. "The Jedi have tried to overthrow the Republic," he lies to his wife's face after killing children. And the delivery of the name change was also goofy and undercooked. I guess some things are better left to the imagination, lol! Still a fine movie.

I hope you'll watch the Obi-Wan series.

Must watch them all. You won't regret it.

Great reaction Cristy ❤ loved being on this journey with you and how you loved the characters and all their stories. Will you be doing the spin off series to watch what happens between Obi-wan and Darth vader, the princess and Luke and all the others. Please say yes 🙏🏼

The beautiful thing about star wars is that its not about lightsabers and spaceships, its a shaksperian tale for the modern day. Its about a tragedy (the prequels) and the triumph that follows (the OT). Thats why the original 6 films are genuine gold. I highly recommend the Thrawn Trilogy and Dark Empire Trilogy because they were written pre-disney and it feels like the true ending to the skywalker saga.

In the opening battle sequence, one ship is hit from a shell, and burning debris hits the ship next to it. The editors put everything in this film. Excluding the kitchen sink. That. Burning Debris is a Kitchen Sink! Also, the Blue Female standing with the Chancellor is George Lucas's Daughter. When Anakin runs up the stairs the couple he passed at the top is his other Daughter and Son-in-law. Then the Blue couple he passes right before he enters the opra is George Lucas and the same Daughter from earlier. The Kid the 501st Killed on the Landing Platform is his Son. If i were you, I'd STOP WITH THE SAGA! watch Rouge One, Solo, Clone War, Rebles, The Mandalorian, The Last half of Book of Boba Fett, Ashoka, Kenobi, Andor, & The Bad Batch. Completely Skip episodes 7,8, & 9. But thats just my opinion.

“Babe! Cristy Reacts just dropped the Revenge of the Sith video!” I’ve been waiting for this one

Whoever edited this did a great job lmao

Taxes😂😂😂😂 Genius

"Rouge One" is next to watch. No need to watch 7,8 or 9.

That is Palpatines real apperance he used the force to make himself look normal then made it look like the Jedi did this to him

Anakin murdering hundreds to thousands of innocents for some sort of false hope from a creepy old man telling him he has ways to save his life. The nightmares not even guaranteed to be the actual future hes seeing

That one wheeled motorcycle that grievous escapes on is based on A real machine. Way back in the 1920s or 30s this footage of them check it out on KZfaq.

Graetartu sounds like a Star Wars character.

15:22 when I tell you I laughed so loudly and suddenly that my coworkers asked what I was doing...

How did Anakin go from being a sweet little boy to Darth Vader? Well.... it was all the Jedi's fault. If Qui-gon Jinn had lived, things may have turned out differently, as he was clearly the father figure that the boy needed, but Obi-wan had to fill in instead, and always viewed Anakin as a younger brother. Also, being just out of training himself, Obi-wan wasn't prepared to train a 9 year old boy (since most Jedi Younglings are taken to the Temple at age 1-2). The Jedi never thought to free his mother from slavery even though it would have been a simple affair for them, and tried to force their dogmatic teachings of emotion suppression on him after he'd already developed his own persona (which is why children are taken to the Temple so young, so they don't form attachments and are thus molded in the Jedi way from the start). Obi-wan was used to this style of teaching and was not prepared for how Anakin would react to how harsh he was, sowing the seeds of resentment in him early. Anakin has also seen all of the corruption in the Republic, in the Senate via his dealings with Padme during the Clone Wars, their turning a blind eye to smuggling, slavery, and other bad shit in the name of profit, and even the Jedi's hypocrisy in claiming to be peacekeepers and yet pushing for more offensives during the war instead of even attempting diplomacy. Add to that when Anakin goes to Yoda for advice, he gets the typical "Hands-off" treatment that Yoda is famous for, and is left feeling completely misunderstood, which further confuses his loyalties. He wants to be a good Jedi, but he sees how what they do isn't always good. He's always held that a benevolent tyranny is better than a democracy of idiots and thieves, and Palpatine uses that and other confidences to draw him in to his plots while seeming to be a friend. This is not Anakin's fault, and he does try to do the right thing after he finds out Palpatine is Darth Sidious, but then he sees Mace Windu do the exact thing he berated himself for earlier as 'not the Jedi way' and realises the Jedi are not the good guys they should be. After this, he basically feels like he has no choice but to follow through on his actions, which we all know is just digging himself into a deeper hole, but he doesn't realize this at first. Having always viewed the Dark Side as just another tool and not an inherently corrupting force also leads to his fall, especially after being told he's THE CHOSEN ONE his whole life and seeing the power he gets from tapping the Dark Side. You can tell he regrets some of what he's doing when he's standing on that balcony on Mustafar, tears falling, but he's in too deep now to go back. Finally, his outer hatred of Obi-Wan, of the Order, and of the Republic at the end are just pale reflections of his own self-hatred for all of the things he's done and knowing in the end that he didn't even achieve his goal of saving Padme. This is where his true strength as Vader comes from. Anakin would’ve done better in the older Jedi order (over 1,000 years ago) which was more pragmatic, more adaptable, and didn’t discourage attachments. Back then Jedi even had families and kids of their own. In the past it was the Sith who were dogmatic, and rigid. However ever since the last battle between the Jedi and the Sith (1,000 years ago) it’s now the Jedi who are too rigid, whereas the Sith had evolved and adapted. What Palpatine said about the Republic not being what it once was in Episode One, the same can be said of the current Jedi Order, ever since their last battle with the Sith. The Jedi had become too dogmatic, arrogant, rigid, and too detached from others. The Jedi had also become too out of touch with things, they failed to see that the galaxy was changing, that people had lost faith in the Republic which had become too corrupt and dysfunctional. The hypocrisy of the Jedi is that while they preached against attachments, they were too ‘attached’ to the Republic and the power that it gave them, they had become too political. They chose to follow the will of a corrupt Senate instead of the will of the Force like Qui Gon did. Qui Gon was the last true Jedi until Luke came along, he understood how misguided the Order had become. Obi Wan should’ve followed his example and not taken a seat on the Council. Anakin felt more alone after Ahsoka left the Order and it seemed to him that Obi Wan had chosen the Council over him, that he had abandoned him. Only after the fall of the Republic and the Order did Obi Wan realize that Qui Gon had been right all along. Both Obi Wan and Yoda went about training Luke a lot differently, they were kinder, more understanding, and not so rigid. They were both determined to mend the mistakes they had made with Anakin. Luke’s new Order in Star Wars Legends is a lot better than the previous Order had been.
