STAR WARS: EPISODE II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

What is your favorite Star Wars movie ever? Don’t forget to leave a LIKE if you enjoy the reactions ❤

Kim losing her mind and getting turned on for Obi wan and Anakin is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. I needed that. Get ready for the next movie, it’s the best.

Kim's pondering about the impact of Obiwan's relationship over Qui Gon's was absolutely on point and totally what Dave Falloni has said.

Kim is in a league of her own with these movie reactions man.

You're kinda right about Quigon being the one who should have mentored Anakin. When you know why it's called "Duel of the fate" it makes sense.

I love Anakin here, the way George was not shy to made him a full teenager with all the problems and flaws of his age plus the traumas of his past. Also, George was very vocal about Anakin and Padme's romance being very diferent from the Han and Leia romance going more towards a classic 40's movie romance, that's why most people see it as cheesy, but I think it works wonders here, we're in a less cinical age.

Kim's thirst levels are off the charts once again. And this is why these are my favorite Star Wars reactions! Edit: Oh and since you're asking, they are 24 and 19. Yeah they elected a 14 year old to Queen on Naboo. That planet is WILD

I'm sure you'll hear it a lot, but you'd love The Clone Wars (and the other shows as well), and it would expand upon the story quite a lot and fill in a lot of blanks and answer a lot of questions.

You seemed to get what was going on in Episode II better than most people that react to it. I cannot wait for Episode III. I think that you will find it answers the questions. You do get more of Obi-Wan in it. It is sad since these stories are telling of the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker.

Kim squealing with delight when Anakin and Obi-wan show up just made my whole day. ❤️ And I too bet that she could take them both...in a fight!

"Clone wars" is a whole series with a several seasons, and a magnificent piece of art, strongly recommended.

A detail people overlook in regards to Anakin blaming Obi-Wan for his mother's death: Obi-Wan didn't believe in the visions Anakin was having, specifically because of him being a learner still.

The way Kim says Qui-Gon's name ... sounds like Guy Gone. Which is fitting since he is ... well, gone.

Love your analysis of Obi-Wan and Ani's relationship - you take everything in, and still take the time to have fun. The next one is the best by far, you're gonna love it.

Luke doesn't cut off another hand, its the same mechanical one. When he does that's when he realizes that he's becoming more like his father, both having a mechanical hand

Clone Troopers aren’t the same thing as Stormtroopers, but you are right that they lead into each other. The Clone Wars animated series fills in the years of the war, and you really get to know the Clones and the different Jedi better. It’s a great watch after Ep 3 Revenge of the Sith, in machete order; but it’s also seven seasons.

The romance between Anakin and Padme being awkward makes a lot of sense. Anakin was first a slave and worked as a child. He then joined a monastic order than basically forbade intimate human interaction. Padme served her people from a very young age and was burdened with responsibilities up to and including a war. Then she became a Senator where she continued serving her people. What experience did either of them have in intimate human interaction?

The animated show The Clone Wars makes such a good job at depicting the actual friendship between Anakin and Obi-Wan, which is missing a bit from the movies. Would be amazing to see you react to it. If it (understandibly) is a little too much, you could perhaps get help from someone reliable to pick some of the most important arcs of episodes to watch. Anyway, the amount of editing you do in these is unparallelled and amazing. Great work!

Born a slave. Slave to the Jedi. Slave to Palpatine. Finally freed by his son in his last moments. As beautiful as it is sad

It is like a Greek Tragedy. Lucas himself collectively referred to these six movies as "The Tragedy of Darth Vader".

The tragedy of the clones is furthermore shown in the clone wars animated series. The show as well gives more insights into anakins mind. It might be too long for reaction videos but I full heartedly recommend watching it as it is a true expansion to the story of star wars.

It makes a lot of sense that Anakin chafes against authority and not being able to take lead and make the decisions; he was a slave for the first 9 years of his life. Same reason he loves being a pilot, it represents autonomy.

50:32 It makes sense why he isn’t grounded. He was a slave for 10 years , then when Jedi came and took him away and trained for 9 years, he believed that since he is a Jedi now he is very powerful and invincible. Now that he has lost his mother he is questioning whether being a Jedi is the only way to power and to protect those he cares for . It really is sad to see him like this

"Guy Gone, I know his name now" 😆 "I can take them both" 😳

Ewan McGregors brother is an air force pilot in the British RAF and his call sign is Obi 2.

Episode 2 is underrated. Anakin's relationship with Anakin was so well executed. I remember watching the Yoda fight in cinema. It was pandemonium in the theater. Minds were exploding

I love how insightful Kim is with almost every aspect of these films. A lot of other reactors just kind of take things at face value and don’t think too much about the relationships between characters and such.

This movie is a blast from the past, from the Creation of the Clone troopers to Anakins tragic path towards the dark side, and who could forget the all powerful "Space Jesus". I look forward to see the epic conclusion that entwines this whole story (...the franchise as well) all together.

Interesting fact about the tatooine homestead - they returned to Tunisia to rebuild the set for this film, only to find out the original set from 1977 was still there. Turned out the land owner decided to keep it as a tourist attraction and agreed to let them film the scenes they needed for this movie. So they are in the original homestead during this film

Yess, one of my favorite episodes. It's all coming together nicely. A few things: Keira Knightley's Padmé-decoy was called Sabé. The decoy who was killed at the beginning of this film was called Cordé and you should be nice to her. >:( I find it very funny that you find Master Windu, of all people, to be too positive lol. He's known to be kind of a hater. His saber is purple because Sam Jackson asked for it, so that he could stand out and find himself in the big battle scene lol. Obi Wan undoubtedly lacks Qui-Gon's authority and is very clearly in over his head with Anakin in a way his master wouldn't have been. At least not to the degree that the council's young, inexperienced poster boy Kenobi is. He's just such a boy scout. Qui-Gon was a free-thinking maverick, just like Anakin, and a strong figure of authority with a real presence. Meanwhile, Kenobi goes down on Anakin's level, making them feel like bickering brothers at times when Anakin truly needed a father. Qui-Gon also encouraged Anakin, freely shared his wisdom and openly believed in him, unlike Kenobi, who _does_ care deeply for him but is more sceptical, critical and reserved, making Anakin think that he doesn't believe in him and is holding him back from reaching his true potential. So Qui-Gon's death left a void in Anakin's life that needed to be filled by a strong and wise figure of fatherly authority, who believes in him, encourages him and makes him feel like he can share his problems without having to fear judgement and Kenobi struggles, if not _fails_ , to take on that role. Unlike Chancellor Palpatine... The English voice actor for Dex the diner owner didn't actually have that many other notable roles. In the German dub, he's voiced by the same guy who did Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob though. The Stormtroopers aren't Clones. Due to their accelerated aging, the Clones we see in these films would've been too old for that. Hayden Christensen is an amazing actor and I love how much you appreciate his performance as Anakin. It was actually super hated by the mainstream because it was too "awkward", "uncomfortable" and "whiny". In other words: He was hated for playing the character too well lol. Such a dumb "criticism". He perfectly portrayed the complex, tortured and sensitive young man that George envisioned. The hate also reeks of toxic masculinity. Anakin was soft, emotional and somewhat feminine, not the cool badass murder machine Darth Vader or the smooth playboy Han Solo, so he obviously had to suck, right? And he's _romantic_ , ugh. He talks about kisses and hearts and being tortured by love, what a whuss. In truth, Anakin is a more layered, complex, realistic and fascinating character than the narrow-minded mainstream deserved at the time and Hayden's performance is to this day underrated. His little facial expressions are godly. His timbre is modelled after James Earle Jones, the original Vader voice. He's funny, he's cute, he's scary, he's perfect. You really just _understand_ the film the way it was intended. The fact that Anakin and Obi Wan very clearly love each other even though they fight a lot. The fact that Anakin was dangerously charming and tempting to Padmé the whole time and that they're unfortunately an incredibly cute and perfectly problematic couple. The fact that she essentially replaced his mother in a bit of a Freudian ordeal. The fact that he was never quite free. You say the story feels like a classical tragedy. _It is_ . And it's about to enter its final act. You thought this film was sad? Oh boy. A storm is coming. And it can't come quick enough! ;D

The problem with Obi-Wan as a teacher for Anakin is that he feels like an Older Brother to Anakin, when that's not what he needed, he needed a Father Figure, a role that Qui-Gon would have been far better suited for.

When Anakin wiped out the Tusken Raiders, he is way... WAY... past just being angry. People use the word "hate" all the time, but you don't really know what it means until you see Anakin's massacre.

These are my favorite Star Wars reaction videos. Everything from the hilarious editing to Kim going crazy over Anakin and Obi-Wan is just a joy to watch.

39:33. Padme: This situation is getting a little too intense, I’d better shoot him down gently. Where’s my most “I’m not interested” outfit?

It's not "Quy Gone" (although the worplay works perfectly), it's Qui Gon (with a Q). "Kwaï Gone" if you want. Anakin is clearly out of line despite being tactically correct. As you noticed, Obi Wan is also very uptight, Qui Gon would have been more understanding and more able to deal with Anakin's psyche and find the right words to tell him. In the deleted scenes on Naboo, Padmé shows Anakin her bedroom with all her memorabilia. She show him portraits of her in her humanitarian missions before she became queen. She really loves lost causes and damaged people. Obi Wan will be a sassy ahole to Anakin for four years straight during the Clone Wars, nicknamed the Master of Trolling or the Master of Sass. It's quite fun to watch. Naboo is the planet, the city is called Theed. And the circular plaza is none other than a CGI modification of the Plaza de Espania in Sevilla. Funny how being appointed Senator could in fact be seen as promotion, since you get closer to the Galactic center of power and its inner workings, despite not taking care of your own people directly, you still gain in influence and contacts. Anakin complies with Padmé because despite her scouldering, her reasoning is tactically sound. Remember Obi Wan saying to Luke that Anakin was a "cunning warrior" (in French they way "a brilliant tactician". Clone Troopers are not stormtroopers. Clones are much better trained overall. (but much more expansive so when the war ended, they were replaced by conscripts...) The clones are copies of a Mandalorian warrior, there is no better human template than a Mandalorian for a clone army. You might be one of the two or three who actually call out Padmé for her BDSM outfit in front of a horny and damaged teenager... That's not being romantic, that's beeing obsessive. Obsession is NOT a good thing. It's the mark of codependancy, not something you want to cultivate for a sane relationship. Watto probably sold Shmi to pay some debt... I urge you to listen to Phantom Menace OST, Anakin's theme and the end credits in their entirety, pay close attention at the very end... Ani's theme becomes Darth Vader's in foreshadowing. For context, humans on Tatooine learn to distrust and hate Tusken Raiders becaus they are dangerous. Anakin's prejudice is sort of understandable. About 187 Jedi died that day in the arena, just saying... Remember Return of the Jedi, Luke cuts the arm and it shows electrical circuits... the arm was already cut off once, like here... A Greek tragedy you say? Exactly that it is ! Can't wait for your next reaction. Obi Wan blaming himself... "I thought I could train Anakin as well as Yoda, I was wrong."

Just to be clear since its a common misconception, this is indeed the genesis of the army that became the stormtroopers. However, by the time of the original trilogy most of the clones had been replaced by normal recruits. So some stormtroopers are clones but not nearly all of them

I’m glad you appreciate Hayden’s casting and acting.. George knew exactly what brash young Vader needed to be .. it’s a shame he didn’t get the same recognition back then that he does today

It’s worth noting that clone troopers are NOT stormtroopers. Common misconception for first-time viewers due to the similar armor, but the stormtroopers came later.

Anakin's love morphs to become something toxic and possessive rather than the true compassion he aspires to have, but honestly, was he ever set up for anything else? The Jedi Order were so rigid and dogmatic by this time that they were unwilling to budge an inch in regards to Anakin's deep feeling of connection to others. They told him to essentially deny a part of himself thst could have been healthy for him, and when he just couldn't anymore, it came out and was expressed in a way that he had no practice with and had no guidance for how to channel positively. As far as he can see, the Jedi never let him free his mother, never let him find romance, and never took his visions seriously. He's grasping for whatever he can manage to find for himself because his soul is broken without it. And he's flying blind.

Finished watching the reaction... I'm pleasantly surprised you enjoyed it this much! It does seem like you really enjoyed it. And you're actually really insightful about the characters and seeing where they're coming from. Can't wait for you to watch Episode III!

I’m glad you’re getting so much enjoyment out of this trilogy. And once again, your capacity for immediately insightful and astounding analysis takes my breath away. Also, if you think ‘Grumpy mum Obi-Wan’ is cute, wait until you meet ‘Rockstar Kenobi’ in the Clone Wars series.

"Anakin the feral Jedi cat" LOL

No one answered this question for me-Who paid for the Clone Army? It’s one thing for a cashless Jedi to place the order on behalf of the “Republic.” It’s another thing to come through with the billions of credits to pay up for the order.

The Clone Troopers are not the same people you see as The Stormtroopers in the other movies. Those stormtroopers are normal people from all over the galaxy who signed up to join. The Armour being white can be confusing but try to remember they aren't the same people. :3

Dooku is a Sith Lord named Darth Tyranus, he was Qui Gon's teacher and friend, like Qui Gon, he gradually became disillusioned with the Jedi Council and after Qui Gon's death at the hands of Darth Maul, he left the order, soon after which he was recruited by Sidious as his disciple, which he needed after Maul's defeat. Dooku, with the help of his influence, pushed many systems that were disappointed in the corruption of the senate of the republic, which was collapsing under its weight, to revolt and demand independence, as a result, these systems will become a Confederation of Independent Systems or an alliance of the Separatists. Thus, the Sith have organized a war in which they control both sides, having the ability to create chaos to gain more power. Dooku suggested that Obi Wan kill Sidious just to take his place with Obi Wan as his disciple, for this is the way of the Rule of Two. The entire conflict, which lasted for several years and was called the Clone Wars, can be seen in the magnificent animated series Clone Wars, which takes place between the second and third episode

It´s crazy how she actual gets these movies and sees them as they are attended She understands so much that others oversee when watching this Its astonishing how close she gets but quite :) the jango edit was just mean PS: Padmes dress, I call it the dominator

When Qui Gon fights Darth Maul in episode one, the music to it is called Dual of Fates, meaning the fate of Annakin. If Qui Gon won and trained Annakin then he wouldn't have become Vader, but as we know he lost......

Fun fact: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, who played Grand Moff Tarkin in A New Hope were best friends in real life. They stared in several films together starting in The Curse of Frankenstein in 1957 and lasted throughout the 60’s and 70’s.

I like watching people's reactions but never comment until now. I really enjoy your analysis throughout these films, to me your insights and attention to details are so spot on. I can't wait to see your future reactions and analysis on the rest of Star Wars films and series.

It's entirely up to you Kim, but if you ever plan to in the future, I'd highly recommend the Star Wars Clone wars series watchalong after you finish the prequel trilogy. Its some of the best pieces of star wars stories out there. It's 7 seasons long though so i understand if its too much

When they met, Padme was 14 years old. She was a young queen, but not the youngest in Naboo history. On Naboo a queen is elected for a specific term before a new queen is elected, so it is normal that she has moved on from being queen to other civil service. Anakin was 9 years old at the time of their meeting. Obviously he was still physically a little boy whereas she had already hit puberty and a growth spurt making the age gap seem greater. In this movie, set 10 years later, Anakin is a typical moody 19 year old. He whines and complains like a teen, he bucks authority, his emotions drive his decisions, etc. I think his dialog, as awkward as it is some times, portrays the brooding awkwardness of an angst-ridden teen. Padme, having gone from queen to senator, is far more mature and grounded as a 24 year old in this movie. She has a decade of political experience and has carried the responsibility of her planet's well-being from her youth. Again, at this age, five years age difference is not so scandalous. Admittedly they are a mismatched couple when it comes to their level of maturity, but all involved are fully adult and able to make their own choices (as ill-advised as those choices might be).

I've always thought Anakin turned to the dark side too easily. But after hearing you analyze his motivation is making me rethink that.

Ah, yes! The epic tale of Guy Gone and Dark Vader.

Your analysis is very often so spot on, I love watching your reactions

Your edits are amazing 😂

What the movie doesn'tfully explain is that Count Dooku iwas the Jedi master who trained Qui-Jon.When he heard the his former padawan had been killed by a Sith he asked the Jedi Council to take action against the Sith. They refused and Dook went to confront the Sith Master himself. Instead the Sith convinved him the Jedi had lost their way and Dooku became the Sith apprentice.

Luke actually cuts the same arm off. It was already a mechanical arm by Return of the Jedi because of Dooku.

It is best that you speak so much about these things and characters! So pausing is totally fine! It is so wonderful hear your insights and thoughts!

43:00 they actually added his mother's voice in a later re-release. When it was just Anakin moaning away my teenage self was mortified in the cinema "Dude stop I've got my parents here..." 😂

You noticing small things like The Rule of Two and the Qui-Gon being better for Anakin debate is why I love your content so much. Very insightful!

Fantastic reaction, and very insightful as well. You caught a lot of small details and subtle nuances that a lot of people miss. Only one left is Revenge of the Sith (and you're probably gonna want to get the waterproof makeup for that one lol).

58:39 Canonically, it's because purple is a mix of blue and red, representing how Mace walks the thin line between the light and dark sides of the Force. In reality, it's because Samuel L. Jackson really likes purple.

funny thing about Obi Wan being a goodie-two-shoes. in the book "Master and Apprentice", when Obi-Wan was an initiate before being selected to be taught by a master, he was known for always breaking the rules, talking back, and just being an overall trouble maker. it was only when he was paired with Qui-Gon, a known maverick to the standards of the Jedi, that Obi-Wan started to actually follow the Council. it was always in his nature to contrast his mentors. like master like padawan lol

01:03:00 I remember seeing this in the cinema when it came out. The whole audience cheered when Yoda walked in to confront Count Dooku! :)

1:05:40 What most people don´t get: R2-D2 belongs to Padmé. C-3PO belongs to Anakin. After they are married R2-D2 is Anakins droid, and C-3PO seems to be with Padmé. So it seems the droids were exchange gifts for each other at the wedding.

If you feel bad about the clones fate now, you should give The Clone Wars series a watch. Theirs is a very tragic tale at the end of everything but I can’t say more for fear of spoiling

I'm going to start using Guy-gon instead of Qui-gon. Sounds more rad

Kim, when i was younger, i read a children's picture book of star wars and it was set in the past, and Senators were being kidnapped into flying limosines and replaced with duplicate clones of themselves that were like zombies that could be manipulated into doing anything you told them to do

Next to Padme, in Anakin's mind the theme music from "Boogie Nights" is playing all night long.

That moment when Anakin tells Padme he's really ahead of Obi-Wan in many ways and she immediately went, "Pfffffft!" was * chef's kiss*

You have probably got the funniest reactions to these movies tbh. I loved it! And yes, I believe you could take them both on 😉😂

OMG, I died when you called Padme's body double Wish Keira Knightly 😂

Christopher Lee; "Count Dooku" ; "Saruman" and he also Played "Dracula".. such great characters

Kim describing their relationship was amazing. “Bro control your fucking boy! He’s like a feral cat”! 😂😂😂

RE: Anakin's mother dying in his arms: Hospice nurses have confirmed that this sort of thing happens in the real world all the time. In case after case, people have held on to see a child graduate or get married or return from deployment, only to pass away just after. People have an amazing ability to hold on when they have a reason to.

Mace Windu's unique purple lightsaber was Samuel L Jackson's idea. Purple is his favourite color and he wanted his character to have a distinguishable lightsaber so that he could pick himself out from amongst the other Jedi in the battle scenes.

Prequel Trilogy: First Phase - Ewan McGregor: OB-1 Original Trilogy: Second Phase - Sir Alec Guinness: OB-2 ? 😆

The Jedi's belief in "Do, don't try" is literal about everything, so they don't offer any assistance in regards to controlling emotions and urges, just expect you to do it.

My goodness! I love all that you put into this.. just watchin the intro and it’s great! Can’t wait to see the rest and patiently waiting for #3

1:01:12 That’s explored more in the show!! The clones are quite a tragic bunch

Good ole Guy-Gon.

People worry about the age gap with Padme and Anikin, but she's only 4 years older than him

All that talk about whether Jedi can fall in love really makes me want to see what you think of the Clone Wars series. No spoilers, but it gives a reason for why Obi Wan can talk with authority on the subject of attachment, and then the letting go of said attachment.

Yes, Naboo's villa, is actually Villa Balbianello, Como Lake, Italy. For those who want to visit, it's open to the public.

7:33 to 7:43 OMG woman contain your thirst 😂😂 No but i can understand EVERYTHING your going through this reaction lol

Your commentary is a whole other movie 😂

Your Star Wars reactions have been a blast! Can’t wait until the next one!

glad I suscribed to this channel. Kuddos from mexico

im half way in and i love love love your reaction / reactions. you are so funny and amazing :D thank you!

This is why the Jedi didn't want to train Anakin, and said he's "too old". Kids who are old enough to have strong, long-term memories of their families have a difficult time achieving a lack of attachment. They were right. He was too old. They accepted him because Qui Gon Jinn convinced them that he was the Chosen One. He was right, but it didn't work out exactly as Qui Gon expected.

I really love this reaction, the attention to details is great and the thirst is hillarrios xD the only thing thats missing for it to be as close to perfect as it could be is that you prononce the name of Obi Wans master correctly - he isnt GUY Gon but Qui Gon (read QUAi ) ;)

Naboo in this is both Italy and Spain. The big plaza they land in is in Sevilla. There’s deleted scene, where Anikan visits Padme’s family home. The palace, with the new Queen, same as film 1 is a baroque era palace in Italy. The house they visit, is Lake Como, north Italy.

man the reaction in the cinema to yoda fighting was insane

Your Star Wars reactions are absolutely the very best on RU-vid!!!!

“Guy Gone” 😂. ….what a perfect nickname.

1:05:00 each of those giant ships are called Acclamators. They’re army transport cruisers. They could hold over 16,000 troopers each :)

Qui Gon was obviously a father figure for Anakin while Obi Wan is more like an older brother for him.

I'm really glad you enjoy this and that you became so immersed in the story. Your theories regarding what's gonna happen next are fascinating me, plus your reactions always make me feel a whole lot better after a long and tiring day of work. Please just keep up the good work!

In Episode 1 Padme was 14 and Anakin 9 . In Episode 2 She has 24 and Ani 19 . 😅😂

Padme to Anakin: "A kiss is all you're getting, for the rest of your needs you can have a cold shower."
