Hey Rangers, We have ALL Episode 1-9 already up on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/ThePerfectMix

Anakin needed a father and got an older brother

Vince’s assessment of Qui-Gon Jinn and Anakin is spot on for all the reasons he shouldn’t understand yet, but he is spot on. Well done, Vince!

Anakin was 9 in Episode 1 and Padme was 14 I believe. This puts him at 19 and her at 24 in this movie. Great reaction guys.

11:21, Natalie Portman as Padme is beautiful in this movie especially in this scene. Poor Anakin didn't stand a chance. Fun fact Carrie Fisher who played Princess Leia in the original trilogy has stated she was jealous at the number of beautiful costumes they gave Natalie. If I remember the quote correctly it was like "I think my character changed outfits 7 times in all three movies. But with my mother every time she changed a scene she was in a different outfit" 🤣😂

It's said that Christopher Lee had the record for the most on screen sword duels in movie history. His 'Count Doku' added a few more to that total. He also did some work behind enemy lines in WWII that he could never talk about, and his cousin Ian Fleming may have been inspired by him when Ian created James Bond.

Once you have watched all the movies i suggest HIGHLY that you watch the animated Clone Wars Series. It adds so much depth to charachters like Anakin, and the clones.

I still don't know how people don't recognize who the Emperor is.

Good catch on the relationship between Obi Wan, Anakin, and Qui Gon. Qui Gon was the father figure Anakin really needed. But Obi wan is more like a brother. He loves Anakin, but they fight a lot just like siblings do.

Anakin is a teenager in a order that wants to restrict what he wants or does, which would complicate things and Anakin doesn't usually interact with ppl who are not Jedi and you get.....well you saw lol

It's understandable because he looks very young, but Anakin was actually 9 years old in The phantom menace and she was fourteen, so five years older. So in the new movie he's nineteen and she's 24. That's not a big deal.

Guys.. Anakin and Padme are 5 years apart, in episode 1 Anakin was 9 and padme was 14. In this movie Anakin is 19 and padme is 24. So when they actually started dating they were both adults 😂

I was a kid when these were in the theaters and I knew immediately who the Sith Lord was. I was actually confused because “why is the big bad guy being good here?” until the second movie when I finally realized he was playing both sides against each other. Also, the whole Yoda sequence at 31:00 was one of the best theater-going experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The entire audience was cheering, clapping and whistling from when we saw Yoda’s shadow until Dooku escaped.

Its also a fascinating fact that the major players in this trilogy are Masters and their Padawans, starting with Yoda. Yoda trained Count Dooku who trained Qui Gon who trained Obiwan who is training Anakin. Then after the Empire in the original trilogy, Luke, the son of Anakin is trained by both Obiwan and Yoda. So it kinda went full circle

The next film, Episode III, is considered the best by many out of all 9 movies. Can't wait for the reaction.

This movie will always be 5 stars for me strictly for the Coruscant scenes. Those opening visuals of the chase through the city are the best CGI I have ever seen. The concept of the planet had always intrigued me. I've loved the Ralph McQuarrie artwork and conceptual designs since I was young, but to see that in action was incredible and has yet to be surpassed. It's one of the reasons I loved Andor, and I can't wait for season 2.

Force Lightning is a dark side power, Darth Vader could have used it as well, if it was not for his suit, which essentially is a life support system for him. If he had used it, it would have shorten out the suit, as you saw in episdoe 6

Having seen this in the theater on opening night, the moment Yoda ignites his lightsaber to battle Dooku created an eruption of applause and cheering that I've never heard in a theater setting in my life. I'm not one to clap or cheer in a movie theater, but that moment (to me) felt absolutely justified. Re-watching it now it's still awesome, but this lives up there in my top 5 movie moments that I wish I could erase from my memory just to be able to see it for the first time again. (along with The Matrix, Fight Club, and a few others.)

In Star Wars lore back, a purple light saber didn’t exist until Samuel Jackson asked George Lucas for one.

The Yoda fight actually won a MTV movie àward when it came out. Also George Lucas agree with you about Quigon. Anakin needed a father figure like him

So correct the Clone Troopers are in many ways the precursor to the Imperial Stormtroopers. The Clone Troopers have accelerated aging, Generation 1 Clones are the older clones we see in this film who are 10 years old but physically in their 20s to early 30s. The biggest difference between Clone Troopers and the Stormtroopers we see in the Original Trilogy is that Stormtroopers were made up of enlisted civilians of the Empire rather than Clones of a single person. There's also the Imperial Army who we never see in the films (Show up in Andor) but there the backbone of the Imperial Military wearing militant cameo clothing with chest armour and an open helmet. The Stormtrooper program was separate though and are seen as the Elite soldiers of the Empire with there shinny white armour being on all the Military propaganda posters. Stormtroopers are much more loyal to the Empire while the Army is just people getting by in life by joining the army. Clone Trooper armour were also inspired by Mandalorian armour with the T visor similar to Boba Fett and his Father Jango Fett. But the white armour of course is similar to the Stormtroopers. Clone Troopers also have much more colour on there armour to symbolise their ranks compared to the plain white Stormtroopers. But not long after Attack of the Clones (Showcased in Clone Wars) different units had there own colour so for example the 501st Legion had blue makings while the 212th Attack Battalion had Orange. So not long after the First Battle of Geonosis the idea of rank colours was thrown out for unit colours. The films basically skip The Clone Wars conflict so you'll not see alot of it in these films as it's not the main focus, Attack of the Clones ended with the beginning of the conflict while Revenge of the Sith jumps right to the end. That's why there's 7 Seasons of The Clone Wars TV show, basically Lucas regretted not focusing more on the Clone Wars and decided to get a team together and create an Animated Series focused on this conflict with Anakin, Obi Wan, and a newly introduced character called Ahsoka Tano. Filling in the gaps between the films. Overall I like elements of Attack of the Clones but I do prefer side stories set around this film like the original Battlefronts. Also it's crazy how a throw away line like "You fought in the Clone Wars" in a 1977 gave birth to decades worth of media from the original 2003 Clone Wars series to Attack of the Clones, Video Games, Comics, Novels, and the 2008 to 2021 The Clone Wars series.

It advances the stories of its three pivotal characters in meaningful ways. It’s a technical marvel despite some visual overindulgences. Plus it supplied the framework for what was a fantastic tv series “The Clone Wars”.

I love the fight between Dooku and Yoda so much. Also, the 3 beasties sent in to kill Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padmé are a reek (the rhino-looking one), an aklay (the one that looks like a praying mantis) and a nexu (the tiger-looking one). Fun fact: Samuel L. Jackson asked the producers if his character could have a purple lightsaber, so he could find himself easily during the Battle of Geonosis in the sea of blue and green lightsabers.

10:47 it took her this long to realise that there are aliens in star wars

Glad you guys are enjoying watching these movies, Anakin was a brat in this one, he resents Obi-Wan and the jedi council and feels like they don't respect him. Trust me you haven't seen anything yet..😬😱

In concept, this is one of the coolest Star Wars movies ever. In execution, well...

It is so cool that you noticed that Qui-Gon would have been the father figure Anakin needed. The song playing when Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are fighting Dareth Maul is called Dual of Fates. That battle decided Anakin's fate when Qui-Gon died.

If you're willing to commit to a lengthy show, I'd highly recommend watching the Star Wars: The Clone Wars show. It takes place between this movie and the next one and adds a whole new depth to the characters and story. There's also a Clone Wars movie that you should watch as it acts as an introduction to the show for the most part. It's an amazing show

I like the talk about Qui-Gon and Ob-Wan and their relationship with Anakin. The song in Ep. 1 between them and Darth Maul is called "Duel of the Fates" for a reason. The fate of Anakin...

The Yoda fight. Everyone went off in the cinema at the first showing at 12:01am when it came out.

Sposeddly, Mace Windu’s lightsaber has BMF engraved into it meaning Bad Muthafu**er, which is/was a common Samuel L Jackson line. Also you’re observation “something I never thought of” of Yoda giving Qui Gon grief about Anakin when his apprentice turned bad, might be because Duku turned bad and didn’t want it to happen again.

33:44 Stoormtroopers were enlisted by the Empire and not clones of Jango Fett, mostly. The clone wars show that happens right after this movie (as well as other star wars shows) will go more into that as well, so I can recommend watching them too.

just so u know when the prequels originally came out a lot and i mean A LOT of people hated on them cause they "weren't as good" as the originals which is bs cause imo theyre way better and as times gone on people have become more accepting of them and liking em more but a lot of hate was given towards em like the actor that plays anakin in ep 2 and 3 literally didnt act after ep 3 and started a farm with his family until recently when he came back to play darth vader in the kenobi show and anakin in ahsoka

Senator Armadilla killed me 😂

The fall of anakin skywalker begins.

12:09 will never stop getting chills from that. They are perfect soldiers

Padme's residency, her former palace and meadow where she and Anakin had a picnic are real place in Italy - you can go to each of them! 😉

Not sure if this was mentioned before but I wanna add this. Anakin was 9/10-years-old when he was found on Tatooine and in this movie he's 19/20. Padme was 14 in the first movie and 24 in this one.

Can’t wait for Episode 3, it’s my favorite movie of all time, and definitely the best Star Wars film!

I never noticed how SAD Dooku looks with Obi-Wan and Anakin on the ground. With a bit of context, it shows just how conflicted he was many years after he turned to dark side

When she was saying empire instead of emperor😆

An empire is not a person. The word you are looking for is emperor. 😁

"omg these two are toxic" that's Padme and Anakin's relationship down to a T lol

Hayden is so good as anakin like he is peak star wars

I've been looking forward to this one. 😊 This is considered to be the weakest of the prequels. I wished that Anakin and Padmè's romance and some of the dialog was written better. But the scene with Anakin at the Tuskan Raider camp with his mom was a great scene. And it was his first step towards the Dark Side. And I loved the Yoda vs. Count Dooku lightsaber duel. Loved seeing Ewan McGregor, Samuel L. Jackson, Ian McDiarmid, and Natalie Portman back. Loved Christopher Lee as Count Dooku. And we now have Hayden Christensen(who's a great actor)now in the role of Anakin Skywalker. When you both have the time, I highly recommend checking out the "Clone Wars" animated series. Since you both have already watched all of the movies, "The Clone Wars" takes place in between the "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith" movies. And it gives the characters much more depth. I'm already so excited for the "Revenge of the Sith" reaction! It's my favorite movie of the prequel trilogy. Looking forward to the next reaction. And hope that you both have a great weekend! 😊

Its really awful the amount of bullying these young actors had to face. In particular child Anakin and JarJar Binks actor. Depression/suicidal ideation bullying. I wish SW membership was a thing and we could purge these toxic elements out of the club 😤 Only in recent years has the love from us fans that were kids when the prequels came out started to reach them.

"I can't get jiggy with this Anakin." Bruhhhhhhhhhh!!! 😂😂😂💀💀💀

Hi, Shawna and Vince!! I’m so glad that you’re getting a better understanding of how huge these franchises are for us fans, freaks, geeks and nerds, and enjoying it as much as we still do! Keep it up, and I can’t wait to see your reaction to the conclusion of the prequel trilogy where everything comes full circle. See you for the next and last one!!

Surprised you didn’t mention anything about Anakin saying he killed the women and children too. That was his first step to becoming Darth Vader.

Anakin was 9 years old in Phantom menace. Padme was only 14. Though Natlie Portman was 16 at the time. When Anakin sees Padme again he is 19 years old and she is 24. Honestly a 5 year age difference is not a big deal. I met my future husband when I was 16 and he was 23. We were only friends and Co workers for a few months shy of 2 years before we started dating. Though we did secretly fall inlove around 8 months before I turned 18 but neither of us admitted our feelings to one another. My husband Justin was a gentleman and he respected my age and he was waiting patiently for me to turn 18 until he would confess his love to me. But my mother came to realize his love for me and she highly approved of him. He was truly a good man and she gave him her blessing to date me. I had dated guys in the past who were 2 or 4 years older than me. I grew up so fast and was far more mature than guys my age. So I actually got along better with older guys. Most people thought I was 19 or 20 years old because I did not look my age at all nor did I act my age. Mine and Justin's age difference never once bothered us. And I can honestly say that when we became a couple close to my 18th birthday, not one person said anything negative about our relationship. Everybody was so happy and supportive for us. Even at work. Infact it's actually extremely common in the south for some girls to marry between ages 17-20 years old and sometimes their husband's are 4 to 5 years older. My own mother and grandmother married at 17 years old. My great grandmother married at 15 and her husband was 21. I have am older friend whose husband is 17 years older than her. And they are still very much inlove. Time has flown by since I first met my husband in 2003 when I was 16. We started dating in 2005 just weeks before my 18th birthday. We got married December 2006 when I was 19. We will be celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary this December. I'm now 36 years old and he is 43. I honestly cannot stand it when people belittle a teenagers feelings. I and my friends might of been young teens when we found our true loves but that doesnt mean it was not real. A teenager if mature and wise can indeed enter into a true committed relationship you can build a beautiful marriage upon. And age is just a number. My own mother was practically treating me like I was an adult at 15 years old because I was so responsible and was also a caregiver and helped her and my Gran at times when their health was really bad. I worked odd jobs till I was 16 and saved up money and bought a used car with my own money to try to make things easier on my single mother who had bad health. I know some teens today who want to sow wild oats and party and sleep around etc might not be ready for a serious commitment but I was more than ready to be a wife at 19 and I've never once regretted it. And I'm a Christian and live within Gods boundaries and never before have I had any desire to party and get drunk or do frugs or sow wild oats. I saved myself for my husband. And I couldn't of asked for a kinder man to call my husband. Together we serve God and build our marriage up on a strong rocky foundation of Jesus. And so that is why I don't think some folks who are not use to seeing an age difference in relationships can be a little prejudice about it. That's as narrow minded as somebody trying to shame somebody for being in a mixed race relationship. I see nothing wrong with it. Even Moses in the Bible had a dark skinned wife. Love is love no matter what race or age you are. I hope in time others see that. Honestly 5 years age difference between Anakin and Padme is not a big deal at all. Anakain was a 19 year old man in this movie. It's not like he was a minor for goodness sakes. I was 19 even I married my husband who was 26 years old. And it was the happiest day of my life.

Fun fact Samuel L. Jackson said he would only take part in Star Wars if they gave him a purple light sabre

"that planet looks insane" yeah thats Geonosis so that checks out (and it just gets worse every time we're there!)

The last one you guys have left to do is my personal favorite and I hope you guys enjoy it! Can’t wait for that reaction :)

cant wait to see you react to it all coming together in episode 3 (one of my absolute favorite movies)

if it makes you feel any better: Anakin is 19 in episode 2. and by the time you start with episode 3 revenge of the sith anakin is 22 and padme 27, nothing to feel strange about there xD timejump is because of the animated series the clone wars on a timespan of 2-3 years that happends between episode 2-3

8:37 You really did nail the whole thing there perfectly.

The next two are my favourites. Great reactions as always guys❤️

The arena was my favorite moment in the entire movie. The Jedi stand-off is a super cool and underrated moment. Ahmed Best had two roles in this movie. Aside from Jar Jar Binks, he also portrayed a Jedi named Achk-Med Beq. Sir Christopher Lee was a fantastic actor for many years. May he rest easy.

Yo I just gotta say, I love y'alls reactions! My favorite reactors for sure!

We need episode 3 ASAP

I'm surprised you guys haven't figured out who Darth Sidious really is. You've already seen him lots of times in both Episode 1 and 2. A few notes. It's "Emperor", not "Empire." The little boy, Boba Fett, is in fact the same Boba Fett you guys saw in Episode 5 and 6. The count's name is "Dooku" pronounce Doo-Koo. As far as Anakin's attitude in this movie, it's all based on what was said previously. Children who are born Force-sensitive are normally identified and trained at a very young age so they don't form attachments. Anakin started his training at 9 years old. That's 9 years worth of attachment and heavy emotions which affect his behavior. This is why the Council didn't want him to be trained. Technically he's going through that teenage rebellious phase, which is more dangerous because those feelings can lead him to the dark side. The clones themselves do not become stormtroopers, but that's a story for much farther down the line. Keep going. Great stories are own their way.

Hope you two are having an great and awesome weekend ❤

It all comes to fruition in ROTS, can’t wait for you two to watch

This was the first movie I ever went to see at a midnight premiere with my dad and sixth grade. When yoda started fight it was so cool

I can't wait to see your reactions to Episode III. Still my favorite to this day 😊

Sir Christopher Lee is a very interesting person who served in WW2. Some kool facts on that guy and is the GOAT when it comes to playing dark wizards.

Are we bringing "Get Jiggy..." back?!?! I'm down, lol!!

The concept that C3P0 was made by Darth Vader on Tatooine, leaves to go to Coruscant, ends up on the moisture farm where A New Hope Starts, ends up with the rebels, then gets stolen by Jawas and sold back to the same exact moisture farm he was just at a few years ago on the planet he was made while on the run from the person who made him is just... so insanely ridiculous.

There's a reason Count Dooku is one of the(if not) the best lightsaber dueler🥶

Yet - Mr. "We Will Not Exceed Our Mandate" is the guy actually doing the investigation that nobody really asked for, except for Anakin, who was the only person who thought this whole plot smelled like bullshit.

that was a good "ride". thanks! and the story of Anakin, in this one, is just the start of him "changing".

I'm sorry her saying "empire" instead of "emperor" is killing me 🤣😅

You should honestly watch the Clone Wars before moving to episode 3. It will be a much more satisfying watch in terrific and terrifying ways, lol.

There were a few reasons behind Mace Windu's purple saber color. First its Samual L Jackson's favorite color and he requested it. The other reason is due to Mace practiced a certain lightsaber form known as Vaapad. Mace used his own inner darkness and focused it for something good he touched the dark side without fully falling to it. Put the blue of a Jedi guardian and the red of the Sith together and you get purple. Which is one of the reasons George Lucas agreed to Samual L Jackson's request to have a purple colored blade. This is also why Mace lasted as long as he did both in this episode and in episode 3.

33:08 if you guys are still confused on who the emperor is, this scene explains it all

FINISH THE CLONE WARS SERIES BEFORE YOU WATCH REVENGE OF THE SITH!! You'll feel a lot harder and deeper for episode 3 if you do..

Vince questioning if Qui-Gon would've been a better mentor to Anakin, Vince is one with the force. If you see this Vince, there's some really awesome fan created theory/what if vids where Qui-Gon didn't die and trained Anakin, one that comes to mind is done by Star Wars Theory.

Would've loved to see reaction to the " I don't like sand". Best line in the movie

Fun fact: Leonardo DiCaprio, Health Ledger, James Van Der Beek, Joshua Jackson, Colin Hanks, and Christian Bale auditioned for older Anakin Skywalker. Bale and Ledger eventually starred together in The Dark Knight(2008).

Fun Fact? In Legends, part of Jango's backstory is that a group of Jedi were tricked into fighting him and soldiers. Jango was the only survivor on his side and he killed three Jedi before he was defeated. However, Obi-Wan is a VERY good Jedi and Mace Windu is the current Master(Leader) of the Jedi Order, which Yoda being the Grandmaster, aka considered the most respected and wisest Jedi in the order.

Yoda’s fight with Count Dooku made him my favorite Jedi. The way he fights is so sick. You guys are going to be absolutely blown away by Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith.

“Anakin is immature”. I mean, that’s kind of the point as: 1. He’s only 19 2. Vince is on the money in that if Qui-Gon was alive, Anakin and his emotions would be in check. Given that Obi-Wan and the Jedi tell all to repress their feelings, Anakin doesn’t know how to act (or flirt) around Padmé Also in Ep1, Anakin was 9 and Padmé 14, meaning here they are 19 & 24; so their age difference is 5 years

27:25 There are 7 Basic forms of Lightsaber combat, but centuries of peace in absense of any true conflict, Jedi devoted their efforts to mastering a mixed balanced form which had little supreme defensive use. As such of the 212 Jedi sent to Geonosis, only 30 survived. Jedi who practiced extensively Form III (Soresu) like Obi-Wan were more capable of defending themselves against heavy volumes of fire.

Episode ll is so great at world building. It's cool just to see all the logistics, sites, and sounds of all these planets and cities. Can't wait for ep lll

Nice! Can't wait for y'all to see Episode 3... it's the best Star Wars film out of all of them.🎉

One word to describe Anakin: Intense. 😉

I had similar feelings about this portrayal of Anakin and the performance while in the theater. Yoda was the absolute highlight.

Yeah, they're gonna love the next one.

This was my favorite of the Star Wars movies when I was a kid.

I find it extremely amazing that you guys realize that the teaching styly of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jen had different teaching style and the way they go about things because Qui-Gon would have been a better teacher to Anakin Skywalker. I'm a month late but I had to learn this from other KZfaqrs talking about the different teachings between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon jin because one would be a father figure to Anakin and the other is like a big brother to him it's amazing how you guys realize this early on I had to learn it from other KZfaqrs and see it from a different perspective but thank you guys for your reaction

I have seen all Star Wars movies and I loved them all even this one was. So funny 😂 I just hope you guys enjoyed the movie and had a good time I hope you guys did ❤

29:53 what were u saying xD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀

If you want to understand why Yoda can jump around and such when he Fights with his Lightsaber but he walks with a cane normally look up Lightsaber Form IV Ataru. There are plenty of videos that'll explain it.

YES, ACTORS WORK ON DIFFERENT MOVIES. WOW!!!

The Clones are NOT stormtroopers 😹🙏

welcome to Star Wars! the journey ahead is gonna be a wild and fantastic ride! 🥰

Jango Fett is a Mandalorian and they have a long history with fighting with the Jedi, so they know what each other are about. Anakin is the perfect example on why Jedi are not allowed to have attachments. You see hints of it in this movie and obviously in the next. The arrogance and the hubris of the Jedi are strong in these prequel movies. A perfect example is when Obi Wan was at the library looking for a planet. And little miss snooty Jedi replied, if the system is not in our archive, it simply doesn't exist. I did not miss that comment on first viewing when this movie came out. With great pride, comes a great fall.

spot on Obi-Wan - Qui Gon comparison 👍

Cant wait for you to watch episode 3. Best Star Wars movie of all time

Also the stormtroopers in 4 thru 6 are people working volunteer and went through hard training to become stormtroopers troopers since by the time of a new hope most stormtroopers are dead do to their accelerated growth which will cause them to die but they were the first generation of stormtroopers eventually
