Reacting to Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith For The First Time | Reaction Video 

Remember in Return of the Jedi, Luke asked Leia, "Do you remember your mother, your *real* mother?", and asked what she remembered, Leia's answer was "Just... images, really... feelings." That would fit with what a Force sensitive child (like Leia) might 'remember' of a mother who died within moments of her birth. And she recalled she was very beautiful but sad... which fits very well for that brief moment they were together.

You talk about Darth Vader losing it when he learns of Padmes death. In the comics, he actually Force Pushes Sidious into the wall, but when Sidious regains his footing, he unleashes Force Lightning upon Vader to remind him to never attack his Master again.

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".

There were survivors of order 66, but the order itself was gone - and in the years between episode 3 and 4 vader hunted down what survivors he could.

And yeah, leia did say she remembered her mother and that she was sad. There are 2 ways you can interpret that. 1. She was talking about her adoptive mother. 2. Force visions. As we see with both anakin and luke's reflexes (or more accurately, they see the future juuust a little bit before they happen, so it looks like they have good reflexes), there are latent force powers that force sensitives experience before they know they're force sensitives. Considering she's anakin's daughter, and thus is naturally one of the most gifted force users in history like luke - it's not much of a stretch to say she had force visions of padme when she was very young, and mistook them for memories, since she didn't know she had the force until her 20s.

It’s so tragic, the younglings looked up to him, they already thought of him as Master Skywalker.

It's good to see some of this generations of Star Wars fans have more appreciation for the prequels than some of the older generation of Star Wars fans who just completely crapped all over the prequel trilogy.

Even if you dont react to them, please watch The Clone Wars and Rebels. Being cartoons, and me being over 40, i never gave them a chance til covid. Clone wars really flushes out the first three movies, leads straight into this one, and makes order 66 hit so much harder. Rebels takes place between ep. 3 & 4. Both set up the future as well. Some of the best stories and lore in all of star wars.

This is still my favorite and I'm from the original trilogy age.

I love this one. My favorite of the franchise.

Great reaction! You should watch The Clone Wars animated series. It's amazing and it covers the 3 years span of the Clone Wars, and you will see more of how Anakin and Padmé led their forbidden marriage, not that it's the most important thing, but I know you will like it. Also we gradually see Anakin's descent to the Dark Side. And we get another understanding of the Clones, their value and all that is not shown here, where their seem like they just turned on the Jedi out of the blue. Most importantly, we're introduced to Ahsoka 😊

Something too i noticed that the prophecy about Ankin was right but its through his son Luke who sets everything in balance with the force so it is through Ankin! I love your commentary and i wish you great success and i think you are a natural through your thoughtfulnes, caring and understand. Plus analytically speaking your mind is brilliant!❤😊

Hey Court. Such a tragedy seeing Anakin used & manipulated - then consumed by Hate. Anakin definitely had all the vulnerabilities (of course Palpatine pulled Anakin's strings for long time). Not everything in life is "black & white." History & Reality are complex & filled w/shades of gray. I see Anakin is both victim & villain. Very sad. I loved when Padme said "This is how Liberty dies, w/thunderous applause." One can parallel w/our own current events & complicated / confused world. Sometimes seems like we're being manipulated. Good sci-fi challenges one to look at our present & see a possible version / warning of what may come. Looking fwd to u watching Rogue One. It'll tie everything up very nicely.

Nice reaction. #3 is most liked of films (1-3) because it ties everything together with the original trilogy. It’s a good film. For further continuity within the Star Wars timeline (and not release order), you should watch the Obi-Wan Kenobi 6 episode series. It takes place 10 years after Revenge of The Sith with both Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their Kenobi and Vader roles. After that you should consider reacting to the film Rogue One. The storyline connects films #3 to #4 (A New Hope) very well. Many people like Rogue One.

This is genuinely such a good movie. I consider the prequels like a Greek tragedy, and love the pathos of it.

16:55 - "Oh no! I liked that jedi!" So did I. His name was Kit Fisto, and by species he was a 'Nautolan'. I give you my like and Subscribe, hope it helps.

... actually, in Ep. 6, Luke asked Leia if she remembered her REAL mother, meaning Padme. Leia says just bits, that she was kind, but mostly sad. Since Padme died right after Leia was born, this is a contradiction to what happened here at the end of Ep. 3, so it was something I'm sure the writers, producers, and all realized, but didn't fix for the sake of being able to end this movie they way they wanted to. There are inconsistencies here and there between all of the movies. For example, as much time as Obi-Wan spent with C3P0 and R2D2 in these movies, Obi-Wan has no memory of either of the two droids in "New Hope". There was a long time between the first trilogy and prequel trilogy, and ideas changed many, many, many times between them... some of the stuff being re-written on the spot during filming.

Thanks for the video. :) Near the very end we get a hint of why Obi-Wan and Yoda vanished and became force ghosts while the Jedi in the prequels did not. Lucas returned to the topic in a few episodes of the Clone Wars animated series.

The Jedi Council did not make Anakin a master right away because while he had mastered the Force, he was not the Master of emotions. Master Windu stated the dark side surrounds the Chancellor. The Jedi Council suspected that someone was using the dark side to influence the Chancellor. They did not suspect Palpatine because he was already ruler of the galaxy. Anakin was tested by the Jedi Council. They wanted him to observe the Chancellor for signs of dark side influence. Anakin passed the test. He was more loyal to the Jedi than the Chancellor. He had immediately reported his findings to Master Windu. Windu instructed Anakin to wait for him in the Jedi Council Chambers. Windu wanted to elevate Anakin to be a Master. Kenobi had said, “Anakin, it won’t belong before the Council makes you a Master.” There are two debated scenes in this film. Did Windu really defeat Darth Sidious? Or was Darth Sidious acting like he had been beaten? Did the Sith lightning damage Darth Sidious’ face, or did he simply allow his mask to drop and reveal his true self?

Yay🎉been waiting for this one!

I've been told that Christopher Lee is the most Kevin Bacon of all actors.

Darth Plagueis the wise and Palpatine "created" life, and that´s why Shmi Skywalker was pregnant with no man. When Palpatine... Darth Plagueis apprentice... had all over control... he murdered his master Plagueis in his sleep.

I believe that Leia uses The Force empathetically. It's why she remembers Padme.

I'm glad you liked them.😊

I definitely recommend you should look into the movie Star Wars Rogue One which takes place right before episode 4 and the show Obi Wan Kenobi which takes place between 3 & 4. Also the animated series imo do a better job fleshing out the world and lore of stars wars more than anything else especially the series Clone Wars, Rebels, and tales of the Jedi

Courtney I LOVED your reaction. Please please please react to the Obi-Wan show. It’s only a few episodes and you will get to see some incredible stuff that I don’t want to spoil for you but if you like that backstory being filled in like you mentioned, you will get more between the fight on the Lava planet and the final lightsaber fight on the Death Star in the first movie. There’s so much I wish I could say.

You MUST watch Kenobi now!!

You should definitely watch the deleted scenes for this movie and the Clone Wars. They provide a lot of context for why Anakin loses faith in the Jedi and the surrounding issues.

We knew since Ep 6 that the Emperor 's name was Palpatine. :)

Next: Rogue One

No, Leia sensed Padme through the Force.

Remember Leia is a Jedi so she could most definitely sense her real mom and also visualize her.

The Emperor's natural state is like a humanoid. He got shocked and that fried his face. Many think it's his 'true face' but it's not.

Team Jedi forever 🔥💯

You only see her adoptive mother for about 5seconds she has no back story. I have always thought that she may have died young and Leia misplaced her feelings for Padmes

Watch the clone wars animated series to understand how badly the Jedi order failed Anakin . He did unforgivable things but the Jedi order had to fall .

After seeing this movie, I can understand that 24/7 Darth Vader is in terrible pain, he's mostly made up of mechanical parts, and filled with trauma losing his mother, his wife, his kids, his best friend and is completely obsessed with ORDER. Ever since he was 8 yrs old Palpatine has manipulated him and must keep him off balance in order to control him.

As much as you appreciate the backstories, especially with Anakin and Obi-Wan, you should really consider watching the Obi-Wan miniseries, which takes place between the prequels and original trilogy. It's not perfect - they clearly took the premise for what could have easily been one 2-3 hour movie, and needlessly stretched it into 6 episodes because they thought it would do better that way - but it's worth watching if not just for the payoff at the end. It really isn't bad, I just want to be clear that I'm not hyping up the whole show as being amazing; but it delivers enough to be worth watching. Andor, on the other hand, is absolutely phenomenal, one of the best produced shows in recent years, Star Wars or otherwise. The acting, writing, music, cinematography....it's just bangin' television.

this is my fav star wars movie by far :3 i hope you react to the clone wars cartoon, its my fav piece of star wars media by far

This story didn't exist when the original trilogy came out. There are definitely inconsistencies between them. I'd count Leia remembering her mother as one, though you might be able to interpret the words retroactively to make them fit. Other things though, like Obi Wan not remembering R2D2 or C3P0 is definitely a big one. He hadn't become that senile after all. ;)

Palpatine lost on purpose with Windu at the end, since he felt that Anakin was on the way to meet them. He needed that final step, that was seem weak and betrayed by the Jedis... for Anakin´s eyes.

What you have to understand about Star Wars is that Lucas was really not a good writer. There are discontinuity with each movie because Lucas was changing the story as the scripts were written. The prequel trilogy was written with more care but Lucas did not keep things together so it is useless trying to make sense of the story from one to another. This is the reason why what Leia says in Return of the Jedi does not fit with the events of this movie. From time to time someone tries to retcon everything but Lucas did not care what anyone else did with his story. The decision to make Leia the sister of Luke was not made until they started writing Return of the Jedi. Lucas would change things on the fly and not worry that the story does not fit.

You should check out obi wan kenobi miniseries.

I think it's not too late for you to watch the animated series "Clone Wars" (set between episodes 2 and 3), which I'm sure, will answer your many questions.

You could have been a Jedi in the prequel era… considering it took until this film for you to realize who Palpy was! 😎

Clearly Palpatine had been playing the very, very long game and manipulating Anakin since the time he was a child. At the same time, one has to question Anakin as to what was he thinking? Why would you tell Palpatine about your mother and how you slaughtered the Sand people? Why would you tell him anything about your feelings? Even if he weren't the evil Sith Lord Sideous, he's still the Chancellor of the Republic whom the Jedi Council is sworn to protect..... so at best he would have informed them as to what you told him if he weren't their secret enemy, and at worst you placed your blind trust into your sworn enemy. Anakin wasn't nearly as intelligent and wise as he believed himself to be.... but that's typical of youth, so I can't really cast that against him. But man did he bring about everything he was actually trying to prevent. Padme would have never died had she not been so heart-broken by what Anakin had done and become ~ however, she had red flags galore throughout the 2nd movie. Why would she not believe that he would kill younglings when she already knew he'd slaughtered children before? Who's being blind and self-deceiving? Anakin had already stated that a dictatorship would be a perfectly acceptable means of enforcing his visions upon the galaxy in his mind. So why she acted so shocked to any of it was a bit much. In the end, George Lucas had to adhere to everything he'd set up in the original trilogy, and get everyone placed to where the first movie began. In that he did a great job. The only truly serious mistake he made throughout all of it actually took place in the original trilogy when Leia said that somehow she'd always known Luke was her brother. If that was the case, then why didn't it prevent you from full-on kissing him in the 2nd movie? She clearly didn't feel that he was her brother in that moment, nor how she looked at him during the medal ceremony at the end of the first movie. So, yeah, that was a case where George clearly came up with the idea after it was too late to correct out of the first two scripts, as the movies had already been made. But, other than that, I suppose she could sense what her mother was like as a newborn given her force sensitivity. The only real question I have is whether Palpatine or his previous master (which I'm presuming to be Darth Plagueis the Wise who was killed by his apprentice), actually "created" Anakin. Palpatine tells Anakin that Darth Plagueis "could use the force to influence the midichlorians to create life." And, as we learned from Anakin's mother in the first movie, there was no father. The ramifications would be that Palpatine was playing an even longer game than anyone actually realizes.

Finally!

i hope you watch the sequels next Don't listen to the people who say they're not worth your time You react the way you want to and construct your own opinions

Hello. Im in total love with you. Will you marry Me? I love that beautiful brain and i love how you pronouce your words and your dictation is perfect. I went to a catholic all boys school and did great but growing up in my neighborhood i was educated but wasn't as refined as i should have been. Also women mature faster than men. I didnt start maturing until i made 40. But you are truly adorable and you use to be a personal trainer. You could get me back to my military build. Im in good shape for my age but i was nineteen then so i will propably never reach that physic again. I wish you could react to the movie "Troy" which is one of my favorite movies. Because in high school reading about the Trojan war and the greek mythology was awesome or how about "Antwone Fisher". Great Navy movie and Denzel deserved a Oscar for that movie. Iets name our first child D'Angelo Amir Sims and our daughter we can name Afeni maya sims. I only want the two. But i love your analyzis and it is spot on again. Seeing him physical transform into Darth Vadar. Now the voice for Darth Vadar is Mr. James Earl Jones. Another great actor! But yeah you would have made a great pyshciatrist. Please Marry me and we will be together until the end of dawn. R2D2 as your baby is priceless. I do love his scream too!❤❤😍🤩🥰💯

Yes leia said she remembered her mother, that was bad writing by George Lucas. Then what is sad the Star Wars fan boys come up with many theories to try to explain how leia remembers her birth mother, “leia is forced to sensitive” cope cope just accept it, George Lucas ruined Star Wars with the prequels
