darth WHO? | Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) | First Time Watching 

No exaggeration, I had so much fun watching this movie! This has got to be one of my favorite movies ever now. Thank you all for watching the prequels with me, I am so excited to continue my Star Wars journey with you all! ❤

Fun fact: When Anakin leaps at Obi-Wan and he cuts his arms off, that was the same maneuver Obi used to kill Darth Maul in Episode 1. Obi knew how to counter it so effectively, because it was his own maneuver.

Anakin killed the separatist leaders not because he wanted to be in charge, but because Sidious ordered him, Palpatine manipulated both sides of the conflict, unleashing clinical wars to strengthen the dark side, blind the Jedi and come to power at the expense of political chaos, but after the end of the war, the separatists who want to separate from the republic/empire are just a hindrance to his power, so Vader destroyed them

Your reaction to Anakin becoming Darth Vader is why I always tell people who've never seen Star Wars to watch the prequels first, because EVERYONE knows the plot twist of Luke and Vader, but those who've never seen Star Wars before never know about Anakin's turn and him becoming Vader, thus making this the ultimate shocker.

Watching “Clone Wars” tv show will fill in a lot of what takes place between Episode 2 and 3. You can see how close the Jedi and their clone troops became, which made the betrayal even more devastating.

I love watching people watch this movie when they have no idea about Anakin's story. It's just so satisfying seeing people be shocked when palpatine says "henceforth u shall be known as Darth Vader". But honestly I love this movie. I wouldn't consider myself a star wars fan... i enjoy most of the movies but I don't have any sort of deep connection to them, but this one is by far my favorite. To me, it's just heartbreakingly tragic. The fact that Darth Vader is just such an iconic movie villain, but yet when u see his backstory it's essentially a tragic love story with a boy who has been manipulated and ordered around his whole life. The fact that he turned to the dark side out of love is just sooooo sad. He was a beautiful young man with so much potential and good in him and yet his moral downfall came from a place of love and a warped idea of good... ugh so heart wrenching. I truly believe Anakin's story is one of the most tragic stories in all of fiction/sci-fi cinema. All of the star wars movies i find to be pretty cringy due to Lucas's writing and directing, but this movie is just so captivating story wise that i dont even notice it. I've seen this film so many times yet every time i watch it i still feel this ache in my heart for how tragic and sad it is. And also the order ur watching them in makes episode 6 that much more meaningful when u see Vader's story wrap up having known Anakin's backstory.

So what you said about anakin not knowing he was the chosen one. He absolutely knew. He was told all his life during his time as a Jedi only for the Jedi to hold him back and not let him reach the potential he knew he could.

"Is Anakin about to take some Sith classes?" I had a vision of the Zumba studio down the block from my home offering a path to the dark side.

At the beginning, you were wondering about how old Anakin was in this: he's 22. He's 9 in Episode 1, Episode 2 takes place 10 years after that (he's 19), and Episode 3 is 3 years after that (22).

17:57 Commander Bly instructed his clones to keep firing to make sure her death was quick and painless. He couldn't resist the order, but he could do atleast that for his friend and comrade in arms.

I know there's a fair few people who were underwhelmed by the first two prequels, but the point is that they were all building up to THIS MOMENT. The moment Anakin becomes Vader. The moment the Republic becomes an Empire. The moment we transition from prequel to original. None of that would have been possible without the buildup from the previous two movies.

Palpentine at the start of the movie referring to count Dooku: "he was too dangerous to be kept alive," Mace referring to his reason for wanting to kill Palpentine: "He's too dangerous to be kept alive," -And with that, Anakin realized what Palpentine said was true, there's not really a difference between the Jedi and Sith, and he mise well side with the one that has a chance at saving his wife and child.

also anakin didn't cheat death he dealt with the pain of burning alive and protected his stomach he literally survived off his hate and anger like most sith do which allows them to survive extreme injuries

Best line of the movie is from Padme. "So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause."

I remember going with my dad to see this film in 2005. When Vader took his first mechanical breath, I swear I could feel the collective chills in the whole theater.

When your padawan starts dealing in absolutes, betrays the republic and kills a bunch of children i hate it when he does that

Your comments made me wonder something. Maybe Palpatine did know how to prevent death, and he did exactly that. Maybe "the secret" requires someone else to die in place of the one who is saved. Padme dies for reasons that are not understood, and Anakin lives despite extreme injury. Palpatine even says "it seems that in your anger, you killed her."

This reminds me so much of when I watched the movies for the first time in 2018 because I also started with Episode I and I was confused the whole time about when we're gonna meet Luke and then I was like "Oh I've heard the name Anakin Skywalker before, he's probably like, Luke's older brother or cousin or something". By Episode 3 I was nearly screaming at the TV

First time I've thought watching the series in the 'wrong' order was a decent move - love watching you getting into the characters, the SW universe, following the Skywalker Saga from the beginning. Can't wait to see more, may the Force be with you 😊

Fun fact, in the movie when obi wand actor says the line to padme about killing younglins, he kept cracking up laughing, that’s why he has his hand over his mouth there

"ooohhh, talk about heartburn" 😂

There's an amazing fan theory that the reason Padme dies is that the Emperor is draining her life force to keep Darth Vader alive

You pointed out that Obi Wan was like a father to Anakin. But their relationship was more like brothers. After the final lighsaber duel Obi Wan even said "You were my brother" . Brothers don't always get along and are known to fight. What Anakin needed was a father figure like Qui Gon training him. If Qui Gon hadn't died in episode 1 things might have been different.

The Jedi always say to not kill an unarmed opponent, so Mace trying to kill the Chancellor despite being unarmed and "weakened" was the moment Anakin knew the Jedi and Sith were no different.

I just love how excited she got with the darth vader reveal! This one is a keeper.

"Talk about heartburn" 😉👍, classic Emme

This is why I love when people go in timeline order. That reveal is amazing

„This is, where the fun begins“

You're kinda lucky to be watching all these Star Wars movies for the first time like this without much time in between movies. I watched episode 4 when it first came out back in 1977 and episode 3 of the prequels didn't come out until 2005. So a lot of people, including me, had to wait a total of 28 years to watch all 6 of these movies.

I am so glad you're watching this in chronological order. So many Star Wars fans insist that newbies should watch in release order to preserve the twist that Vader is Luke's father, but since literally everyone already knows that, all watching in release order does is spoil the twist that Anakin is Vader. Ever since you're Phantom Menace video I've been waiting for you to realize that Anakin is Vader and its was so fun. Also, here's some fun fan theories: 1) The reason Padme died is because Anakin was unconsciously using the Dark Side to drain her life to sustain his own. 2) When Palpatine says that Darth Plagueis could "even manipulate the midichlorians to create life" he is subtly telling Anakin that he was responsible for Anakin's virgin birth. Also, you should watch Kenobi series and Rogue One before watching the Original Trilogy, but skip Solo and go back to it later. It's okay, but it was intended to launch a trilogy and flopped, so it they never made a sequel, and it's kind of weak. Like all set-up, little payoff.

Nice reaction Anakin survived to the burning because of the Dark Side : his hate for Obi-Wan was so strong that it gave him an imperious will to survive. Also, the Emperor knew Vader hadn't killed Padme but he made him feel so 'cause that would 'cause Vader to hate himself, to hate what he had done and that hate would solidify his connection to the Dark Side

I've watched countless people react to this movie and I don't think anyone ever picked up on Palpatine being the apprentice from the story so props to you! I don't think any other reaction ever was quite as enjoyable as yours, awesome!

A theory that many of us fans have is, when Anakin was “alone with his thoughts”, when he was in the council chambers, hearing Palpatine’s voice, that’s actually Palpatine reaching out with the force, trying to sway Anakin further into the dark side.

“It was me, babe.” To Padme after he attacked the temple. 😂 with such a happy tone.

I love how "Don't get arrested" got replaced with "don't go to the dark side" this time in the outro 😂😂

I just wanted to say, I always thought it would interesting to watch them in timeline order. The cool thing about this series is it gives us original fans a better idea what watching in this order is like, since we can't have the actual experience.

This reaction is why watching the movies in episodic / timeline order is so great. The movies genuinely do flow together really well. Definitely recommend watching Kenobi and Rogue One before starting the original trilogy.

Revenge Of The Sith is my absolute favorite out of the prequels. The double climactic lightsaber duels that take place toward the end of the movie, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader VS Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar and Yoda VS Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant in the Senate chamber are top notch across the board. Musical score, fight choreography, visual effects, audio effects and emotional impact. I give them all an A+.

This is why I think chronological order is the best. With release order, most people already know the twist that Vader is Luke's father. But in chronological order, less people know that Anakin and Vader are the same person. It's a much greater twist for a newer viewer when they see the supposed hero of the story succumb to evil, as it's a much bigger and consequential plot point going forwards.

When Vader's helmet was placed on him, you can hear Anakin wheeze out a little "Padme, help me..." "There's good him, I know it..." "She was alive, I felt it!"

I’m looking forward to your take on Kenobi. A lot of prequel fans have had over a decade and a half to build expectations. Seeing how a newcomer feels about how Kenobi’s show integrates into the overall story will be interesting indeed.

It's fortuitous that you knew just enough that the Darth Vader naming / reveal had the impact on you that it did. Imagine if you truly were going into it blind, Palpatine's "You are ... Darth... VADER" would've been... "Okay, so Anakin has a new name, I guess. They were super dramatic about it."

Palpatine was a puppet master. That fight at the end was something fans had wanted to see forever

Your reaction to anakin becoming darth vader is very original, nice way to get into starwars

Episode 3 is definitely my favourite, so cool seeing your reactions to the Star Wars movies! Great work , looking forward to seeing more!

you must watch star wars the clone wars ( in chronological order) it takes place betwen episode 2 and 3 and gives disclosure to the clones and their feelings, thereby making the scene with order 66 even more sad and also makes it clear why Anakin switched to the dark side

The thing a lot of people don’t quite catch in ROTS is that the Jedi are pretty much the reason Palpatine was able to set Anakin up for failure so easily. Many people may hear Yoda’s line about “letting go of those you fear to lose” but the truth is that he’s not saying to have a healthy attachment, he’s saying you shouldn’t have ANY attachment, hence the Jedi code. The Jedi are not exactly the heroes a lot of people think, and it makes the tragedy in the final prequel that much more saddening knowing it wasn’t just black and white. The Jedi basically emotionally suppressing Anakin led to a lot of bitterness (especially from the war), and much of this you can actually see through his character in the Clone Wars. Also, knowing how flawed and ridiculous of a “lesson” that was by the end of the movie makes Yoda’s “failed, I have” line that much more tragic and understandable.

Fun Fact: every single lightsaber Grievous had was taken from a Jedi he killed personally. He is the greatest Jedi killer since Vader.

I get a good chuckle every time a commentator sees this movie and I hear "wait Anakin didn't just kill a bunch of kids, right?"

It was so much fun watching your reaction to my favorite prequel. Interestingly, your comment about Dark Side Anakin being more attractive was made about the only CGI of Anakin in this movie. Great reaction. Looking forward to you meeting Luke! 😊

You should keep going in 'timeline order' as you put it. Watch the Obi Wan series , followed by the Solo movie, then Rogue One followed by episodes 4, 5 and 6. Your Star Wars perspective would be unique.

8:53 Anakin is fully aware of his prophesied role, however the Sith have carefully groomed him in order that his confidence be affected or depleted from fulfilling such a task.

This video perfectly sums up why I think people should start with episode 1. I only know 2 youtubers who've reacted to star wars that way and they are definitely my favourites. That includes your video obviously!

Congratulations on 30k! 👏🙋🙆💪👍🙏 COME FOR STAR WARS.. STAY FOR EMME!! 🙋 GREAT JOB ON THE CHANNEL! 🙏👏

When Palpatine meant all the jedi to be executed he meant all of them including the children, but some jedi survived and went into hiding or find ways to fight back or fell to the darkside as inquisitors or use the darkside in their own way, and some like yoda and obi wan went into exile or have a mission while in hiding.

So interesting seeing your reaction to this order of the movies. I grew up watching episode 4,5,6 then 1,2,3. A total different experience to your watch.

This was such a fun journey watching these three flicks with you. I think it's so cool (and an interesting take), yer just checking out these movies just for the Kenobi show, lol. Looking forward to more from you!

I came across your video in my suggestions and decided to watch. Your reactions to some of the huge parts are hilarious and awesome! 😂 I subscribed so that I can watch as you go through the rest of the saga.

Seeing you watching this for the first time and enjoy it as much as you did reminded me of when I first saw this movie. I'm having such a good time with all the puns and reactions!

Also, the big reason that none of the lightsabers grievous uses are red is because they're all trophies from the dozens of jedi he's killed.

Seeing you find out that Anakin is Vader just makes my day! I never thought episode 3 would get that much appreciation.

This is a great time for you, having all these prequils to watch, OBeWan is terrific

@15:36 I never picked up on that. But after watching the opera scene again, Palpatine does say that Darth Plagueis knew how to save others from death. But then says that his apprentice (Palpatine), killed him in his sleep. So maybe that was something he hadn't learned from his master??

"Anakin didn't just kill a bunch of children, right ?" Well, it wouldn't be the first time. He slaughtered an entire village of Sand People in Episode 2. He even told Padmé : "And not just the men... but the women and the children"

Padme "is anakin alright?" obiwan "hes super hot"

You really had me cracking up with your commentary lol. Great reaction to this iconic series.

To be fair, everyone went on to assume Plagueis was Sidious’ Master and write entire books about it, but Sidious never confirms it to Anakin in the movie. For all Anakin knows, both Plagueis and his apprentice lived thousands of years ago and they’ve got nothing to do with Sidious, who is merely studying their story to discover the infamous secret.

18:30 And, with a tear in his eye..... Great job on finishing the Prequels, Emme. Based on your reaction, I'm happy to say that you are now one of us. Believe me when I say that you're going to have a ball watching Obi-Wan Kenobi. Enjoy!

Your giddiness when you learned Anakin was Darth Vader was so fun to see!

I think honestly that when you already started this journey from chronological order of the movies, you should watch "Rogue One - A star wars story" before jumping into the original trilogy. It's one anthology film that is filling the gap between episodes 3 and 4.

One of the coolest aspects about watching it in this order is you dont see it coming that anakin becomes vader. Great reaction! The original trilogy has a different vibe but it is so good! Cant wait to see your reaction to return of the jedi and the ending of it all!

Anakin, you like this, because no sand?? 🤣 laughed so hard

Great reaction !! Since I’ve grown up on release order I was so curious as to your reaction seeing it in timeline order. Love it!

Note Anakin's eyes first turned Sith yellow when he killed the Separatists, as they were the only ones he killed in hatred.

Yup Ep III is my fav even after seeing the original movies waaaaaaaaaaay sooner as a kid

“Master skywalker! There are too many of them, what are we gunna do?” “..this is where the fun begins”

One of the best reactions I’ve seen for Star Wars since you genuinely never knew what was going to happen so it felt very natural! The Obi Wan series is next in line and picks up 10 years after episode 3. Rogue One is a great one to look forward to as well.

Anakin was crying in the scene before the fight. He had regrets.

Lmao I’m crying at you being like “is that Luke am I finally right” YOU PULLING OUT YOUR HEADPHONES IN SHOCK HAHAHAH

Love your reactions! Nice to see a fresh viewpoint with the chronological order. Had to sub to see what you think of the upcoming shows and movies. I’m especially curious to see what you think of the originals.

Now we're getting to the good stuff. The fact you like this movie so much makes me feel better about thinking this is one of the better ones

This is a great reaction. Glad to see someone new love these films!

After watching the Clone Wars Show order 66 hits way harder. It’s more devastating to know that a decent amount of clones didn’t want kill their Jedi generals but couldn’t help themselves.

LOVE YOUR REACTION BECAUSE IT WAS CHRONOLOGICAL. Your reaction to all the powerful moments were great. Although you skipped over some really powerful stuff. Some of the order 66 stuff. Padme crying to Anakin"you're breaking my heart..." And obiwans "you were my brother..."

Yoda was right, Anakin's attachment became fear of losing her. He didn't want to kill younglings and stuff but at that point he'd do anything to save her. He knew he was the chosen one and had been raised believing it, so the idea of not being able to save her angered him more. Like in the council chamber when he was outraged not being a master, masters had access to restricted knowledge that he wanted to use to find a way to save her without turning to the dark side. From his point of view the jedi really were evil because they had wronged him in many ways. Especially after yoda tells him to let go of his feelings, anakin knows the jedi will let her die if it comes to that. Also my personal head canon is that Padme died because Palpatine used the force to drain her life so that he could keep vader alive, since he was the apprentice of darth plagueis and probably knew of the power the whole time

PROOF THAT WATCHING PREQUELS BEFORE EPISODE 6 IS THEEEEE BEST WAY FOR NEWCOMERS TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE SAGA! THE BEEEST PLOT TWISTS HAPPEN THIS WAY!

When it comes to Anakin turning to the dark side. Don't forget what Palpatine said at the end of episode 1. He told Anakin that he'd watch Anakin's career with great interest. So Palpatine has been manipulating Anakin pretty much from the start.

19:37 And from this day on, R2 developed ptsd from "Stay with the ship", since the last person who told him that was never seen again

Hi Emme, just stumbled across your channel & you’re just so wholesome! Your comments keep putting a smile on my face & im loving watching you love Star Wars! Can’t wait to watch your Kenobi series reaction next! Hope you’re well 😀

Wow. I'm so grateful for you uploading this reaction. I check out all reactions to this movie but rarely find anyone who watches them in this order. I suggest you watch Kenobi now (lots of people didn't like it but I think the Obi Wan/Vader parts were fantastic). Then watch Rogue One before watching 4, 5 and 6 of the main movies. That would be the chronological order of all things live action. Clone Wars, Bad Batch and Rebels are the animated shows that you might want to watch now as well before getting to Rogue One if you care to see everything in timeline order. Love your channel! Sub'ed.

This was great, I've never seen reactions of someone seeing them in episode order without prior knowledge. I think your comments were good and funny! I'll be checking your whole series.

23:58 .... well yeah the dark side can keep you alive for longer when your close to dying, the pain translates to anger, which translates to power

In this episode, Anakin has gone completely insane. He originally wanted to save Padme, but ended up killing her. I think, Palpatine was the most powerful, then Yoda, then Dooku, then Windu, then Obi-Wan. Anakin wasn't that strong, we didn't see anything special from him. When he killed Dooku, it must have been Palpatine's hand in it, because before that he wouldn't have had a chance to defeat him. He later became really powerful using the dark side.

It makes me so happy when somebody manages to circumvent pop's culture most spoiled movie moment ever (i am your father) and still gets to have that :O moment along the SW journey. She got it not trough the revelation of Luke's father, but through the revelation of Anakin's son x'D AMAZING

The best part of this entire video is at 23:50 when Emma cracks the best joke and points at the screen! You have my respect😂

lmfaooo the face you made when anakin got his sith name

Emme your review was nothing short of amazing!!! .. remember the next episode, episode IV a new hope is set 19 years after what happened here.

"Is Anakin bout to take some Sith classes?" Anakin got tied up in the full Sith annual membership...

Watching these first time experiences is great

Battle of the Heroes is one HELL of a fight!!!!!!
