ANI ARE YOU OKAY??? | Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith Reaction & Commentary 

It does make sense, to a point, with Anakin. He's been traumatized his whole life, then he finds out he's the chosen one. Everybody hypes him up, and then he's constantly told the things he did wrong. Then someone praises him and acts like a father figure and says all the right things; it's not that hard to see. Plus, the Jedi have been hypocrites in his eyes. They left his mother in slavery. They've been doing things they've told him not to do. Had the Jedi tried to heal his mind and maybe saved his mom, there wouldn't have been as much fuel to go down the path of the Dark Side quite so easily.

That's not entirely true about lack of planning for 6 films. George DID have an idea about how Vader became Vader. That is why A New Hope was eventually numbered #4. He didn't have it written, but a loose idea.

I actually like the scene of Obi-Wan using a blaster because it shows a Jedi using an "uncivilized" weapon. It symbolizes how the Jedi have fallen from being peacekeepers to mere warriors.

That isn't Anakin no more, he is Darth Vader now after he cut Mace Windu's hand.

It’s not that Jedi can’t use blasters, it’s that lightsabers were designed to be defensive weapons. Sending Jedi to kill generals and participate in a war is already a major breach in Jedi ethics, which is relevant to the “hypocrisy of the Jedi” that the movie calls attention to

The reason no one knew Palpatine was truly evil was because he was so strong with the force, he basically clouded all those around him to what was happening and to who he really was

I enjoy sidious's campiness as a villain when he's revealed. Unlike Vader and tyrannous who became Sith for good intentions. Sidious is truly evil, and he enjoys being evil Chancellor palpatine was a disguise for him which he hated putting on, he hated having to act nice to the public and the jedi who he despised. That's why when his plan finally works, he becomes emperor and the revenge of the Sith is executed. He's ecstatic, he can finally be his true self in the form of Darth Sidious instead of pretending go be sheev palpatine Then in return of the jedi, he has everything that he wants. He rules the galaxy, the public fear him and love him, the jedi are extinct and to top it all off the supposed chosen one to destroy the Sith is his Sith apprentice

It often strikes me how Anakin was blinded by love and the fear of loss. Literally minutes after Palpatine pleads: "I have the power to save the one you love!", he 'pivots' and says: ".... if we work together I know we can discover the secret." Anakin either doesn't 'catch' the lie or doesn't care (blinded by fear of losing his wife). If it were up to me, I would have had Anakin 'turn' at that moment due to pure rage. ("You told me you HAVE the power! LIAR!") Et cetera. So then there's a huge duel and Anakin is beaten down, forced into submission to Palpatine's will. That would go well with the moment he tells Luke years later: "You don't know the power of the Dark Side. I MUST obey my Master."

It’s easy to see Anakin as the villain or stupid in this movie but looking at his actions and everything he says he does what any of us would do if we were in his shoes. The Jedi failed Anakin and Anakin only wanted to save Padme. Instead the Jedi don’t trust Anakin after all the good he’s done. Anakin’s story is tragic.

The prequels were criminally underrated, the people who reviewed this years ago are the now older generation. The kids who are now grown up bring a lot of attention to how good it actually is. It’s my favorite Star Wars movie along with Empire and Rogue One. Hayden’s acting was perfect considering he had no father figure he was taken away from his mother after he could become attached to her which is why Jedi are taught not to be attached. He then loses Qui Gon and his mother in violent fashion and Padme was another attachment he had before being told with the Jedi not to be attached with her. Palpatine ends up being a father figure he never had and what Obi-Wan should’ve been as opposed to a brother. Also I don’t think there were that many plot holes. Regarding Mace it makes sense he wants to kill Palpatine, palp was beyond evil and it’s technically hypocritical that Anakin said he should live since he killed Dooku in the same fashion. Also the 2nd Death Star wasn’t fully completed in the 6th movie that’s why they thought it wasn’t operational. Great reaction though 👍

I mean to be fair about the death star, just like any real world weapon, the years of R&D and construction take a long time for the first one but then usually is streamlined and improved on the second one.

The one thing about Anakin that I like is that he is not necessarily a great guy/jedi or husband, but a tragedy. Someone that could have become so much more, but didn't.

I highly recommend Rogue One. Perfect lead-in to A New Hope.

Palpatine to Anakin: "They don't trust you." Mace to Anakin: "-you will have gained my trust."

she's right , force on the elevator is always fun

i love this movie sm its one of those movies i can rewatch over and over & never get tired of it

You two bring up and talk about alot of good points. It's also nice that you two catch (notice) a lot of the things that most people either miss or don't quite understand. I would love for the chance to sit down and talk to you two face to face about not just the Star Wars movies but about other movies too. Thank you both for doing this. I really enjoyed watching your videos on Star Wars. I'm going to continue watching other videos on this channel and on your individual channels. You two are great and funny and fun to watch.

I know its kind of Cringy but what gave me chills watching this in the theater was when he Talks to Pademe about his plans to over throw the emperor and "make things the way we want them to be" and she says "Your breaking my heart" I got a bit choked up even more then when he attacked the Jedi Temple and killed everyone.

I love the climactic lightsaber duel on Mustafar between Anakin and Obi-Wan. The music, the fight choreography, the special effects and the audio design were also top notch and hold up really well. It's supremely more tense than any of the other lightsaber duels. Also, the fight choreography between Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor is at real time. Not at all slowed down or sped up. They just got so good during rehearsals for the lightsaber duel, that they kept the speed of the movements in real time.

Totally awesome reaction video guys!!! I loved the mixture of praise for the movie combined with snarky comments. I appreciate the choice of saving the critique til after the movie sooo very much. Although I don't agree with some of the criticism, I realize that you both made some very valid points. This was definitely a lot of fun. I do hope you guys will react to The Clone Wars on the channel. It is a great show full of lots of fun surprises!!! I am rather partial to Rebels but I love Clone Wars too. Can't wait for the next video. May the Force Be with You both!!! 😃😍😎

What about the sequels?

Fault is on everyone, Jedi should've been more supportive and not alienate him as they did

definitely added "Obi Wan just hanging around" to my drinking game rules xD

I mean, who hands the angry emo guy a laser sword?! Honestly! Heavy wool robes no less (seriously). Fun fact: The lava floes at the end were mostly a practical effect. They built something like a 30'x30' platform, tilted it by 10°. They then stacked up huge blocks of some kind of modelling foam that they shaped into the terrain. The platform had a clear bottom so they could put lights underneath, and then poured gallons of methacel which is normally a very pale orange, but when they lit it up with the lights, it had a nice reddish-orange glow to it.

I like when Obi-Wan faces Grievous and Grievous says "I have been trained by Count Dooku in the ways of the Force". In the book Obi-Wan says "Funny, I trained the guy who killed Dooku". I also liked at the end when Yoda and Obi-Wan were deciding where to hide Luke and Leia. Yoda suggests Luke goes to Tatooine and (in the book) Obi-Wan says that he'll stay on Tatooine as well to kinda look after Luke. Yoda asks "You mean like a father figure?" and Obi-Wan says "More like a crazy old uncle". I like those comments like that

“I’ve been looking forward to this.”

I really hope that you will watch the Clone wars to fully understand the masterpiece of this movie

A cool character around this time: "As a Jedi, we were trained to be keepers of the peace, not soldiers. But all I've been since I was a Padawan is a soldier." Anakin's lived experience is a total hypocrisy of the Jedi. But worse, he sees himself as the chosen won destined to kill the Sith and bring peace to the galaxy and, of course, he is correct. This galaxy spanning war bringing so much suffering, every second it goes on is a personal failure of his. And in the end he actually is the one that wins the clone wars and brings peace. He only lost everything including himself to achieve this partial victory.

I've already seen a meme with DiCaprio's face on Sidious' body in that scene, "soon I will have a new girlfriend, one far younger and more powerful."

remember obiwan dropped his light sbre before he shot grevious with a blaster

When it comes to premonitions they can be very tricky. Have you ever heard of the self fulfilling premonitions? The premonitions where the very act of trying to prevent a premonition is exactly what causes the premonition to be fulfilled. When it comes to premonitions, the very first question to ask is "should anything be done about it." Then just take things as they come and don't try to force things to happen.

It took them 18 years if we are going by the kids age in the first movie, keep in mind that it could be built and we just didn’t find out about it till then. If you watch all of clone wars it will change the way you look at this movie because you see everything that flips anakin to the dark.

If you want to rule the Galaxy, you would build multiple Death Stars. Think of it like a VFX productions that has many department, once one department is done, they start on the next project.

Good is not so black and white, more wisdom do you require.

Is that a Taylor Swift Red ring I spy? How have I never noticed that? I know a lot of people want you to tackle Clone Wars but that is just so much. Maybe just hit some of the big arcs. There has to be a recommended list somewhere.

In the Republic, Dark Red is the coulour of Constitutional Duty, the Jedi's ship in Ep 1 was a Republic ship with no weapons. Lucas took that purple Red as a reminder of Roman and Byzantine Emperors. Dude, of course Jedi are not supposed to use blasters, why do you think Obi Wan says "so uncivilized..." afterwards? That's why the line is funny. Why would it bother fans? You wanted to see the Jedi at their height? That's what Qui Gon Jinn was supposed to represent. Windu as an executioner? Excuse me; despite the hypocrisy, he's technically right, Palpatine had control of every Republican organ, did you think that he would have left himself be arrested and convicted of treason and imprisoned (unless it served his goal but that close to it?) ? I tend to think that the Jedi phylosophy stops to apply once the Sith are involved. Palpatine had to be killed one way or another. Windu was a jerk and Jedi became arrogant but Palpatine also did everything he could to sneak upon them until the very last moment when he had them at his mercy. Jedi were reckless and arrogant but you got to give credit to Palpatine for his cunning as well. Reacting to that the Jedi pretty much had no other choice and it was in Windu's intentions to put Palpatine to trial at first he refused to comply, from that moment on, it was off to be executed. Despite his flaws, I can't possibly believe Windu would have taken over the Republic as a supreme leader especially with Yoda at his side. So I don't see the problem.

Yes, I’d love to see your reaction to Clone Wars series! Personally I think Star Wars is better as a tv series than it as movies because tv series allow Star Wars to take their time in telling stories whereas the films do feel like either they introduce things that we don’t get any resolution to or they rush through situations or character developments that if it has been a series would have felt more natural. It’s one of the reasons I like the fan theory that the films are just R2D2 or some other droid telling us about what happened. A droid would rush passed moments that built romance or skip over moments that helped build friendships and just get to the important moments. We see this when AI are asked to write scripts/screenplays/books whereby it skips over the kinds of things a human writer would want to develop and give more to it. I know that Lucas wanted to keep the film’s run times limited and by naming the original sequel Episode 5 thus making the original film Episode 4 he basically locked himself into the prequel films having to be a trilogy. Though technically I feel like they could have done like some shows whereby they label some episodes as part 1, part 2, part 3 but it’s the same number and fans would’ve been fine with it. As for the sequels, those didn’t have to be a trilogy except out of tradition. A friend of mine was just complaining about the lack of Star Wars films being made and the focus being more on tv/streaming series. I pointed out that other than the original films he didn’t like them and had said on multiple occasions he liked the tv/streaming series more because they feel more developed. He then asked what my point was and I replied: “You’re literally complaining that LucasFilm isn’t making the kind of content you claim to not like them to make while they announce yet more content you claim you like them making. Are you just trying to be unhappy?!” To be fair, I feel like I know or meet fans in other fandoms like that, too. Who seem to just want to be unhappy and so nit-pick whatever so they have some reason to complain. Seems strange to me considering I’m used to so many things I enjoy and am a fan of just abruptly getting cancelled or not getting a sequel (or having to wait almost two decades for a sequel with no indication any more are forthcoming) that I, for one, and thrilled for fans of things I’m not a fan of who do get more of the things they love. And I’m willing to take whatever I get of the things I love because for a long time there wasn’t anything new really for fellow fans to enjoy. Though admittedly I now find myself unable to keep up with all the entertainment industry is pumping out, both things I’m a longtime fan of as well as new stuff being introduced. We are literally living in a time when there’s no shortage of entertainment of any kind of medium: films, tv series, music, video games, books, etc, etc, etc. What a fun time to be alive!!! Space Peace: the branch of LucasFilm that tells stories from the Star Wars universe that’s about the times in its history when solutions were solved without violence. I can see a promo ad now: “In a time before there were battles between armies, there were battles in the Senate. Senators wield words as they strive for victory at trying to get their bills out of committees and before the full Senate for a vote. Meanwhile, Jedi diplomats help resolve disputes peacefully between peoples and assist the galactic judiciary at dispensing justice.” And basically episodes are a mixture of political intrigue, ambassadorial negotiations, and court trials. “Pick up a guitar not a gun.” I kinda want Star Wars to have an emo character who has a similarly sad back story as Anakin who plays some Star Wars equivalent to a guitar and performs in venues across the galaxy. I think the character, if LucasFilm were to do it, should be named by you both out of honor of coming up with the idea. Maybe his like famous slogan could be “pick up a (name of instrument) not a blaster.” That or introduce the character in a series as an Alan-a-Dale type character similar to Alan-a-Dale in Disney’s Robin Hood. :-) Great video! Thanks for making it! Also love that we got a quick reference to Emperor’s New Groove and got some Eddie Izzard a la LEGOs as well. I remember watching those LEGO videos some years ago and enjoying them. The only thing I kinda wish Star Wars would do is have a Pink Five. I loved watching the fanmade Star Wars Pink Five videos. I think she needs to become canon!

On the note of the building of the 2nd death star only taking 2 years. Well it took 10 years and in "JEDI" ( that is what we call "Return Of The Jedi") it was not even finished. It looked to only be about 70% done. And they already built one so going off the original plans just increasing the size meant they already proof tested a lot of things so it was going to be quicker to build.

R2D2 is the Samwise Gamgee of Star Wars.

I think quigon was the first to learn the force ghost thing

I think you both touched on this, especially Sam, but I think the biggest problem with these prequels writing was it didn't fully commit to the anti-hero. I get to do the things necessary and to really make Anakin/Vader a great anti-hero would be extremely difficult for such a mainstream, "family" series coming out late 90s/early 00s, and probably impossible given how many executives, lawyers, marketing teams, etc. would be looking after/have a say in the production. Just watching back on these, I think if the writing was going to be right, Vader should have been more of a Michael Corleone, Daniel Plainview, heck even Han Solo. We know they are arrogant, self-serving, and sometimes, maybe evil but they're such interesting, entertaining characters we can accept it.

24:21 Funny how Mace says the same thing Palpatine did back at the beginning of the movie isn't it

techincally he did not trade in for a younger model each time. darth maul was probably 30 to 40, thencame dooku who was in his 80s

Count Dookula paid the sandpeople to kidnap Anakin's mother !

Darth Heisenberg, Sith Kingpin.

I like u both , thanx for the fun .

Key the part when anakin says to palpatine his destiny will be the same as ours , all of them dies in a death star xD

I recommend watching the clone wars tv series it take place between 2 and 3 and add a lot to the story. I heard Geogre ex was heavy involved in the edited of the original but not the prequel, and it shows

I agree with you 100% Jacqui. Also, there actually were some people, at the time this movie came out, who were genuinely shocked that Palpatine and Sidious were the same person. I wasn't because, even though the novels coming out at the time, including the Episode I novelization, tried to make it look like Palpatine and Sidious were separate people, I had figured it out the first time I saw The Phantom Menace, in theatres. For three very simple reasons. 1) they dress exactly alike, 2) Sidious had influence within the Senate, which he couldn't've had if he wasn't a senator, and 3) the structure of Sidious's jaw poking out of his hood was exactly the same as Palpatine's in Return of the Jedi. Also, I would like to point something out about Padme. I loved her in Episode I because Leia is one of my favourite characters in the Original Trilogy, and Padme reminded me of her, and I was disappointed that Lucas had sidelined her in Episode III and kept her there just so she could give birth to Luke and Leia. Excuse me, but Leia is pregnant with twins in the Legends novels, and she's kicking all kinds of Imperial butt the whole time. But George sucks as a writer and didn't bother to have someone else tighten the script. Especially since Padme was supposed to be involved in a subplot cut from the movie, where she and Senator Organa (Leia's stepdad) helped to form a group of senators who were opposed to Palpatine's subverting of the constitution, which led to what would eventually become the Rebel Alliance.

Natalie Portman often plays characters attracted to ''Bad Boys'': Léon in Léon: le professionel; Anakin in the Star Wars movies, V in V for Vendatta, Thor in Thor, Thomas Leroy & Lily in Black Swan...

The yellow eyes are a symbol of his power and loss to the darkside of the force. Also he isn't to blame for. It was all a plot since the start they both knew each other. Palpatin knew since the beggining and knew how to play his cards to make him go to the darkside.

18 years for the first death star 3-4 for the 2nd, but two things. how do we know that they didn't start the construction of teh 2nd one earlier as to builg a few of them. 2ndly. the firs ttime they ever built anything, bet it a train a car, a skyscraper whatever, the firs titme you build something never built before it takes a very long time, once you do it the first time, it always takes a lot less time. but also the 2nd death star was only like 2/3 completed

@11:35, Remember, "Any crash you can walk away from is a good crash!" - Launchpad McQuack, DuckTales (1987). @14:05, To be fair to Yoda, people often confuse jealousy and envy. Jealousy is fear of loss. In this situation, Yoda is saying that the fear of losing Padme will lead to Anakin acting, or not acting, to prevent that loss. He needs to focus on the situation as it is, not what he fears the results might be. Anakin's failure to understand this distinction is what leads to his downfall. @18:45, This is really subtle, but an apology admits fault while saying you're sorry is a feeling. If a person is sincere, both are good. If not, as appears to be the case here, Anakin is basically saying that he admits to his faults, but doesn't think he was wrong.

46:36, Mace Windu was taking action as a Jedi master. In an age of war, one must do whatever means to stay alive. This holds true in the case of the Jedi order. Many of the Top members of the Jedi Council, such as Mace Windu, already sensed an imminent threat to the orders survival. I think you two skipped over the scene in ROTS where the Jedi perceive a plot to destroy their order. In the briefing, they acknowledge the atomizing power that surrounds palpatine, and are adequately prepared to act on their intuition.

Channeling Giuliani's 'Trial by combat' are we?

Great reaction guys! I love your input on the media you watch because you are very good at articulating your ideas. If you are going to watch clone wars please do so in the chronological order list instead of the way they were released. It's such a better viewing experience.

all 9 movies is the rise and fall of skywalker

Henceforth all political debates shall be decided with aggressive negotiations via light saber Wait, bad idea...

you should maybe watch obi wan kenobi after this lol, or Clone Wars and/or Rebels

Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she, alright?

“The Chancellor is not a bad man...”-Anakin Chancellor Palpatine-*Is LITERALLY /the\ bad man*”

You need to watch Vader-Shards of the past. Takes place after episode 3, fan made. Its very short but very well done

The Sperm and Egg Opera is such a great scene dialogue-wise.

The novelization suggests that wrinkly Palpatine was his true self and the younger, fit-for-the-public-eye face was a ‘mask’ he wore using the force. When his force lightning reflected back on him it destroyed the façade and revealed his true self, wrinkled and corrupted by the dark side. At the very least, the eyes were definitely something he was able to change, since one of the hallmarks of the Sith is yellow eyes. This is why I don’t think Dooku/Tyrannus was an actual Sith. He never had the yellow eyes. He may have worked with Palpatine/Sidious but he was never anything more than a tool.

he was more than likely building them both around the same time.

"These Imovie transitions are on point". This is 2005. Where do you think Apple got the idea?

Of course no one detected the chancellor--he uses an ancient Sith power of cloaking to hide his true identity, only users of the dark side can go through that cloaking, and jedis can't use the dark side.

It would be cool if you went to the star wars shows now.

Thanks, Jacqui! Thanks, Sam! 🌋 #TheShameList #StarWars #RevengeOfTheSith #DisneyPlus

boi said jii-dai lol

No humanity detected

The second death star was never completed lol

obi-wan kenobi series?

Hey Jacqui and Sam, I do admit that the quality IS better in Episode 3 vs Episode 1 & 2, but Sam is correct in that there are SO many inconsistencies, plot holes, and retconning that made it still worst than the original 3, imo. One of the worst ones that bugs me the most is the death of Padme after birth. This went against Leia's line in 6, "She died when I was very young.", it wasn't "She died when we were born. Why don't YOU remember?". Now there are people that try to find loopholes and jump through hoops to try to explain it, when all Lucas needed to do was keep her alive but uncaring to her children. Depression could have led to eventual death, not eating, not exercising, just not caring to live. But, nope, death on birthing table. Have no opinion on Clone Wars, heard that it was good, never took the time to watch it all. I'll have to wait till you get to the Disney take over to add any additional commentary. Won't say anything more till then. No spoilers from me! (And hopefully from no one else either...)

When are you gonna do 7, 8 and 9?

It's not really the clones fault they had an Inhibitor chip implanted in their brain that activated when palpatine called out order 66. That's why you should watch clone wars it gets you very Attached to them

Watch Star Wars in release order, on your first viewing to avoid spoilers...

Actually that's how palpatine normally looks. He uses the force to make himself look "normal". But he just looks like a monster.

The title just made me think of Michael Jackson, nice video tho 👌💯

Not sure if you already know this put palatine gave anikin the dreams

Definitely watch the clone wars! It’s so good!

the symbolism in this movie is tremendous. the lava planet and ankinn burning is symbolic of anikin decending into hell. sidious is literally the devil. shortly before that when anikin looks up at the sun and it is blocked out by the volcanic clouds. it is symbolic of the light side in anikin being blocked out by the dark side you did notice 66 is short for 666 the fight in the senate destroying the pods and the room was symbolic of the govnerment being destoryed. also, i don't know if either of you ever dealt with or had to deal with and learn a lot about covert narcisists. but sidious/palpatine is the ultimate covert narcissits and phsyocpath. they are very highly manipultive people, they are very charming in appearance, they groom you they seeminly give you everything you wanted at first. even when you know they are wrong you hold on to what you think yo hope, if they have froomed you enough. and when his face chnaged, it was like the narc gonig into narc rage and their mask ocming off in fact, satan/the deivl etc.. hwo lucas has indeed said he is the evil basicall. is literally the ultimate narc and phyopath. things to think about

redder is indeed better. i mean it is the color of your hair so there is that. and you rock

I actually agree. All politics should be decided with a lightsaber battle. See if these politicians actually are willing to back up what they believe in. P.S. Actual lightsabers have been made (they just use a shitload of power that we're not willing to expend).

21:03

The Jedi may have been losing their ways but Windu deciding to kill Palpatine was obviously the right decision idc

Do you plan on watching the sequel trilogy?

If you only knew the power of the dark side!

Oh shit its time

Why do none of the reactors ever mention the opera scene where Palpatine basically told Ani that he, Palpatine, is the one that made his mother pregnant. He says that his master taught him to be able to manipulate the midicholrians to create life. Palpatine is Ani's "father". Every reaction I've seen, this is not once mentioned.

You guys should open up a patreon account for full reactions. I'll join if u do. And yes react to clone wars (chronological order), you'll love it.

And you did a medium job 😆

Rogue One next

5 more!!!!

Yes watch the clone wars it is so good and watch it in chronological order not realise order

This channel is definitely going to blow up.

Watch the clone wars!

you should definitely watch clone wars

Clone Wars has the best Jedi of all the franchine... I don't need to name her for anyone to figure out whom I'm talking about.

You want to watch really good lightsabers fights ?--try the cinematics from the game KOTOR, easy to find here on you-tube. You'll see the power of ancient jedis and siths, a few thousand years before the movies. Really well made. And plenty of double-bladed lightsabers.
