This Movie is Great! Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith | FIRST TIME WATCHING 

Say what you will about the prequels, but Revenge is by far the most compelling of the three and has arguably the best lightsaber duel in the films

'He tried so hard to not let that happen, but it happened because he was trying so hard' That was actually quite profound. Appropriate that you wore black for this. It's a tragic story watching that kid with a heart of gold fall so far.

Revenge of the sith was the highlight of my entire childhood experience just throwing that out there

Yes, Vader, at this time, believes Luke and Leia died with Padme. Her being a Galactic senator her Funeral was big news so, Bail Organa, the man who took Leia in, orchestrated the plan to put a fake belly on Padme's body at the funeral to imply that she was still pregnant when she died and the children went with her. Thus, freeing Luke and Leia of any suspicion from the Empire.

Ian Mcdiarmid should have received an Oscar for his portrayal of Darth Sideous in this movie. Never seen a better personification of evil and cruelty, it’s like he’s getting off on the pain of others. Then when he finally chooses the time to reveal himself and take on the Jedi Temple on his own is so badass!

Anakin actually did feel remorse for all of his actions including what he had done to the Tuskens. The first time (Tuskens) Anakin’s overwhelming grief turned into blind rage. As he told Padme “I know I’m better than this “, he lost control and he regretted it deeply ever since.

The fact that both windu and Palpatine said someone was too dangerous to be kept alive really shows how similar the jedi and sith were

“So this is how Liberty dies… with thunderous applause.” 😢 As a soldier this was heart wrenching to hear, because when liberty is taken, people give it up.

Palpatine didn't just want it to happen, he made it happen.

Revenge Of The Sith is the Best Starwars Film Ever Made, Hayden Christensen Portrayed Anakin Skywalker/Vader Absolutely Perfect. I never get tired of watching Revenge Of The Sith

The Clone Wars show explain even more by giving more examples to Anakin on the Council's hypocrisy and distrust on him. You will love Rogue One.

This trilogy was awesome. The tragedy is very well written. Many people criticise the politics and the cheesyness, but it is actually the things I do appreciate. And damn all those memes are hilarious.

I always loved Anakin’s prophetic line about saving Obi-Wan: ‘His fate will be the same as ours’ Palpatine: died on a Death Star because Vader Obi-Wan: died on a Death Star because Vader Anakin: died on a Death Star because Vader

16:51 In the Episode III novelization it says that Palpatine (and Windu) fight so fast that you basically only see flashes of light as an observer. The other 3 just couldn't keep up with their speed which the movie didn't really show well.

“He tried so hard to not let that happen, but it happened because he was trying so hard” 😢😢 so cool to see people’s genuine reactions to these icon films.

Will never forget when I saw this in cinema. So many people just cried. The way Anakin screams "I hate you!" just hurts so much even after watching it so many times. Greatest one in the prequels ever.

11:55 Palpatine was Plagueis' apprentice btw and also the one who killed him. Plagueis was still alive during Episode I, I think.

Revenge of the Sith is one of my favourite films. I saw it when I was 12 and it broke my heart. Whenever I watch it, I end up crying like I did when I was a kid.

In terms of the dark side, usually it kind of possesses and numbs your feelings and fills your head with passion and power. Makes you blind to almost everything. Anakins impulse to stop Windu I believe was “in the moment” and realized there is no going back at that point for him. He got scared and ran to another master tho his fear blinded him to other options.

In the end. You can blame Sidius all you want for turning Anakin, but in truth, Mace had a lot to do with it too. The constant doubt of him, the constant treating him like a child despite how many times he risked his life to save others. The judgment. And in the end when Mace said "he's too dangerous to be kept alive", the exact same thing Sidius said about Dukoo (sp?), Anakin felt, Jedi, Sith, they aren't so different, so why not join the side that has the possibility of saving the one person he loves?

The whole Order 66 scene just wrecks my emotional state every single time I watch it. The music amplifies it. 😭😭 I have a feeling that the youngling called Anakin master because he would've been promoted once Palpatine was arrested or executed and it was told to everyone beforehand and would be a surprise to Anakin. The tear he had on Mustafar at least showed that deep down, he hated what was going on, but couldn't stop it.

This is my favorite SW movie! I remember seeing it on the midnight release. I will never forget when they go to arrest Palpatine and it shows Anakin and Padme looking at eachother from the temple and her place you instantly had a gut feeling, "This is where everything goes to hell." RotS is a masterpiece!!!

The Clone Wars animated series is something you certainly want to see. The events in the series makes what happened to the Jedi during Order 66 that much more heartbreaking. Another major part left out in this episode is the closeness between Anakin and his Padawan Ahsoka and why you don't see her in this episode. She does make an appearance in the Rebels animated series and the fight scene between her and Vader is also heartbreaking. Binge watch Clone Wars if you have to but please make an effort to watch all 7 seasons.

When Stef said "I can't believe that", sounded exactly the same as when Padme says it later on about the same thing 😂

To boil down why Anakin does it all... Throught the Clone Wars, the jedi have consistantly lied and kept things from him. He's convinced that in order to gain the power of the dark side, he has to do dark side things. But he reaches a point where he has gained so much power that he becomes lost in it and loses sight of why he was doing this to begin with. Really simplified down... 😅

"You were my brother anakin , i loved you"

The Obi Anakin duel is the single best fight in the history of film.

For all Anakin, now Vader, knew, his child (singular, because no one knew she was carrying twins until just before their birth) died with her. If you notice, Padme is buried looking to be still pregnant. It was a brilliant way to keep Vader from investigating where the child went. It wasn't until after the destruction of the first Death Star that he would even learn that there was a possibility. It wouldn't have taken long for word to get around about the young hotshot pilot from Tatooine named Skywalker who was responsible. Vader was relentlessly looking for Luke as The Empire Strikes Back opens, and later during his contact with the Emperor does he accept it is his son. He doesn't realize there was a sister until Luke's thoughts betray him on the second Death Star, which Vader uses to tempt Luke to the Dark Side. It's probable that he didn't know it was Leia while he was alive. His dying words to Luke were "tell your sister you were right".

Hard to believe it was 18 years ago when i first watched this twice in theaters. It was a massive, year defining moment for me when this was released. I started my first job that year and was finishing my first year at college when it came out. I remember heading into town on a hot spring day when the merchandise was officially released, and i saw Revenge of the Sith on billboards everywhere. It was such a great time I just wish I had a time machine lol.

Anakin's descent into darkness was well portrayed. Because some Jedi never completely loved him, didn't respect him, didn't trust him, didn't take him seriously and even despised him. As a child before Obi-Wan started teaching him, he was hated and psychologically bullied by other children "Anakin is a slave to his feelings" and that was only because of envy because he was much more gifted and skilled than them. . . . And many other things and sufferings he and his padawan, Ashoka Tano, the Jedi like to cause. Yoda during the Clone Wars, he met the spirit of Darth Bane in Sitt's tomb, which is created by the rule of two. And later in his visions he saw Anakin becoming Darth Vader and didn't do anything about it because I thought it wasn't worth it. Anakin was a slave all his life - Tatuine, Jedi, Love, Dark Side. He became a father figure to Qui-gon Jinn, during his stay in the temple he was psychologically bullied and called by others "Anakin slaves to his own feelings", he lost his mother, the Jedi never married him all the time and without proper evidence he accused Ashoka and caused her to leave and finally he was afraid of losing Padmé. The only and worst support given the events was Palpatine who was a fatherly substitute for Anakin from the beginning. When he used Mace Windu's hand and after killing the Jedi he was already in the dark as the dark side itself showed him to the planet Mortis The One Son. On Mustafar, Padme almost got him from the dark side, but Obi-Wan discovered him and screwed it up. Anakin "Vader" built his castle on Mustafar and thanks to the two sbosobs he tried to revive Padmé but he could not see it due to the fact that Luke and Leya were already born, they were the only ones preventing it with their existence. Too bad he didn't find "Word between Wolrds" on the planet Lothal. He would create an alternate Reality or go through all of history. ;) . . . You have to find out about the lost 20 Jedi like Count Dooku, about the fates of Jedi with the ability to see the future, young apprentices who were not taken by any Jedi masters to learn, who showed little talent for the force and were not shown to the temple which in some cases was quite drastic, . .. Blinded by ego, aronance, pride, absolute help to people and not following the path of forces. Honor to the exceptions and one of the true Jedi was Master Fey. The Jedi and the Fallen Jedi (Sith) have betrayed the memory and message of their common ancestors of the Je'daii Order by their actions and the endless battles of their Civil War. 😊 May the force be with you. And may you lead the force. 🖐️

Qui Gonn spirit taught Obi Wan to become a force ghost. That´s why he told Vader in episode IV: "if you strike me down, I´ll become more powerful that you can possibly imagine".

its interesting to look at how the movies get progressively darker from the first to this, the first one was nice and pleasant looking, more colorful, the 2nd one was neutral while this one was quite dark overall :)

My favorite part is when Obi wan covers his mouth telling Padma that Anakin killed younglings to keep himself from laughing cause he could not stop laughing.

Damn that was intense, felt like watching it for the first time again myself. Wasn't prepared for those feels. That's the thing with the Dark Side. Even if the power to save lives would exist, the Dark Side corrupts you inside and out. Even if one would get so far into the mysteries of the Dark Side to learn that power, they would not use it for good because they are too far gone already. The only thing that can really bring a Dark Side user back to the light is the very thing that often made them fall to begin with: Love

"This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause" At least it didn't die because it was sad.

The sixth movie (Ep III), is essentially the myth of Orpheus retold (which, imho, is why it's so compelling). Orpheus’s singing and playing were so beautiful that animals and even trees and rocks moved about him in dance. In the Orpheus myth, he marries his one true love, Eurydice, and on their wedding day, attempting to escape a pursuer, she stubbles into a snake pit and is killed. Orpheus is inconsolable, and decides to journey to the Underworld (Hades), to rescue her (from death). With the power of his song, he persuades Hades (the God of the Underworld of the same name), and Hades' wife, Persephone, to release his wife Eurydice, under the condition that Orpheus is forbidden to "look back" until they both reach the "normal life" surface. They both journey to topside, and seeing the sunlight, Orpheus looks back to see that Eurydice is following him. When he does, she's instantly drawn back the the Underworld of Hades. He lost his "true love" a second time, and in his grief, essentially "fell apart, sacrificed higher principles and moral principles, and in the end, was torn apart by the the women of Thrace.

Anakin was so lost he forgotten what a great Jedi he could have been

I always love seeing someone’s first reaction to this film George truly knew how to make such a thrilling and heartbreaking tale, Star Wars will always be my favorite series ever.

I liked Star Wars, but Revenge of The Sith is when I fell in love with Star Wars.

i love love how you listen and watch more than you talk. it's a joy to watch someone immerse themselves in the saga instead of just trying to appease subscribers.

GREAT REACTION VIDEO STEF !!! I absolutely felt your emotion when Anakin fell to the Dark Side to become the most famous "mouth breather" in cinematic history. All kidding aside, this was the culmination of the Prequel trilogy that leads into reign of the Empire and the true beginning of the Star Wars franchise. Keep it going Stef !!!

I didn't notice this the first time I watched this movie but, it is interesting that when Windu had Palpatine on the floor beaten, he tells Anikin that he was too dangerous to be left alive which echos the same exact thing Palpatine tells Anikin after killing Dooku.

Great reaction Stef. The first 6 movies are basicaaly the story of Anaknin Skywalker. How a gifted young boy becoming a jedi. His turning to the darkside and his redemption in the end.

I Saw Revenge of the Sith in cinemas back in 2005. I was alone that day. I had all the cinema for me. First screening on a Saturday. I'll never forget the impact of this movie. Evil has won. But still there is a Spark of Hope 👏👏

Although they don't say the word "Sith" in the original trilogy - way back in 1977 when the first Star Wars came out, we knew that Darth Vader was "Dark Lord of the Sith". It was used in promotional materials and such. We just didn't have a full idea yet of what that meant.

Another proof of why Jedi are equally responsible for Anakin’s fall is the disagreement Qui Gon used to have with the Jedi council. Had he been alive to mentor Anakin…things would have turned out differently because Qui Gon’s thought process was different to the Jedi Council and more understanding towards Anakin. Hence the dual where he was killed in Episode one…or rather the music…is called Duel of the Fates…because his death changed a lot of things for the future

I love how the scenes parallel when Padme dies Vader is taking his first breath, she lost the will to live because the will to act and courage are opposite frequencies to cowardice and fear. Palpatine planted so much fear into Anakin and ironically drained Padmes will to live and love through Vaders fear and hate.

after mace windus death anakin felt like he was in too deep and he couldnt go back, so he kept going thinking that palpatine would tech him to save padme and he just kept going deeper and deeper. its sad.

Good soldiers follow orders

This movie is only number 2 because of how magnificent Empire is. I remember the buzz of seeing this in the cinema, an incredible experience!

From the animated clone wars we see that the clone have a chip on there brains that was told to make them less rebellious due to the bounty hunter they got his DNA from, but in reality they were used to control them and to follow Order 66 without any kind of conflict. As you said fighting side by side with someone you build a bond with them. Most clones had good relations with the jedi

@6:06 That squealing sound you heard after the decapitation was the Dark Side of the Force... @7:51 when they show the spaceport, if you look at the bottom of the screen you can see the Millennium Falcon landing in the lower deck @12:15 What Chancellor Palpatine DOESN'T SAY is that HE was the apprentice muahahaha! (That's why he threw in that little smirk when he said "Ironic...") @32:51 When speaking about Force ghosts, you should remember in Ep.2 when Anakin started killing the Sand People, you could hear Qui-Gon screaming "Anakin...NO!" Next up, you should watch Rogue One

23:58 I'd say the dark side is a downwards spiral. You can have good intentions in the beginning but it probably will corrupt you more and more. The same happened with Dooku as one can see in both 'the clone wars' and 'tales of the jedi' show.

The dark side is a hell of a drug it really screws with how your priorities and howyou view the world and force

He was successful bringing balance to the force. It went from thousands of jedi and a few sith to 2 jedi and 2 sith.

Musical foreshadowing in "The Phantom Menace": At the end of the movie, there's a street band with horns & drums & whistles playing a song of celebration accompanied by a children's choir. It's actually an upbeat, cheerful version of the Emperor's Theme from "Return of the Jedi". (BTW, there was a PS/2 game made of Episode III. It was pretty fun.)

The first film was released years before I was born, and I didn't get to see the original three in theatres until the nineties. I-III were released later, and unlike most vocal fans, I loved each one, and III is still my favorite, of all nine!

From my perspective, the Jedi were 100% at fault for Anakin’s turning to the dark side. They knew full well that he was predisposed to extreme fear of loss and did nothing to help him counter it. For example, what would it have hurt to bring his mom to a safer place and let him visit from time to time while he was still young?

''I am not blind, Padmé. Though I have tried to be, for Anakin's sake. And for yours. Anakin has loved you since the day you met, in that horrible junk shop on Tatooine. He's never even tried to hide it, though we do not speak of it. We... pretend that I don't know. And I was happy to, because it made him happy. You made him happy, when nothing else ever truly could.'' - Obi-Wan Kenobi

I love seeing people react to movies, songs, and tv series that I love for the first time. Because I can never do it again, it is refreshing to share in someone else's perspective and experience.

22:20 Yes, he is, and with a tear in his eye. Awesome job on all of your Star Wars reactions, Stef. Keep up the great work.

To answer your question, yes, as far as Vader knows at this point, his child is dead (he didn't even know Padme was carrying twins). Vader didn't find out Luke was his son until shortly before Empire Strikes Back.

That nervous smile when Yoda force push the guards ♥ 27:36

If you watched the Clone wars, death of all Jedi would be so much impactful and Anakin's fall so much understandable

Definitely my favorite star wars film. I'm glad you enjoyed it

What a perfect reaction! Easily one of the best I've ever seen, as for a Star Wars movie or any movie in general...I could feel how genuine you were. You're so nice, sweet and adorable... You never ask stupid questions, or make stupid comments, at any moment. And yet with such simplicity, naievety, but never in a way that makes it annoying, for some reason. Because the emotions you're showing are believable and you're meaning it. With a lot of truth and honesty about yourself. I like when people don't catch or guess everything they see. You're just catched by surprise at the moments that were exactly meant for that, and I always appreciate this a lot when it happens and when it feels so honest like you do. You're never overdoing it. When you laugh, you laugh and it's quick and straight to the point without dragging it uselessly. When you smile, it just comes from sheer joy, and when you cry, it's never ugly, it's very gentle, quiet and you allow your tears, big, thick and pearly like those of a phoenix, to stream and fall all over the place (pretty sure it could turn into a puddle somewhere, actually, if these tears you shed were all fallen and focused on a same spot, but I'm digressing anyway), which combined with the rest makes it really pleasant to watch. Thank you for being yourself, just the way you are. Don't change anything. It's 10/10 for me. Great job, and mostly, great human being. Keep going, girl 👍

I might have just binged all your Star Wars movie reactions in a couple of hours and I must say that I absolutely love your vibe and that you have an adorable laugh. Keep up the great work Stef!

22:39 The story of the clones is so sad and tragic. For more insight on that I recommend watching the clone wars show. It gives a whole new perspective to this movie.

Ian McDiarmid steals the show. Nobody else in the film comes close.

13:28 I chuckled at that scene because you can see the droids in the back, one warning the other "yo, you're gonna miss something cool"

32:00 “One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.” - master Oogway - kung-fu panda.

Revenge is my favorite movie. It's by far the darkest & most adult. I do hope you get into Clone Wars. You'll see better why Anakin became seduced by the Dark Side and why he believes the Jedi are evil. The Jedi certainly make their mistakes during the Clone Wars & with Anakin. The series certainly adds a LOT to the prequels. It's a very hard story to tell in just like 6-7 hours. Always thought that Hayden's performance of Anakin was really lame. But the series does a good job explaining that character even better & why Hayden played him the way he did.

ep3 is my alltime favorite starwars movie. So tragic.

The puppy squeaking the ball is so cute and classic💛🫠💕I love it😄

I'm glad you enjoyed it Stef, it's one of my favourite movies. I'm also glad that you watching the Prequel Trilogy, before finishing the Original Trilogy, didn't hurt your enjoyment of Revenge of the Sith.

25:07 I think this scene shows that Anakin is also sad about and struggeling with the choice he made.

Palapatine would become The Emperor in the original trilogy, and is portayed by the same actor. Great reactions to the final film in thr prequel trilogy, Stef!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So I'm only a min and 7 in. The part where she says "I thought we'd see more clone wars, but someone told me they made a show? Idk why they did it like that?" And I just lost it with laughter. Honestly the best response to something like that as a huge stars fan. Love it!

I watched this movie a billion times and still cried my head off watching with you haha great react! Literally felt it.

10:19 If Anakin would have become a Master here he would have had access to the restricted section at the temple library which could have helped him find another way to protect Padme. That info comes from the Episode III novelisation. Not becoming a Master is a reason why he was angry at Mace denying him that. A part of that holocron vault can be seen in the 2008 animated clone wars show.

I can’t recommend watching the clone wars show enough, even if you just watch the important episodes, which you can probably find a list of online. It shows the corruption and hypocrisy of the republic and the Jedi, and gives all of the clones character and individuality - it also shows how they were as much victims of order 66 the Jedi were. Also there are some amazing new fan favourite characters, which feature in other more recent Star Wars shows.

i love your intro on these videos makes us all feel like a family

I still remember going to our countries premier for this and the silence from when Anakin burned to when he rose as Vader was extremely palpable. Nobody said a word walking out of the cinema lol I only talked when some reporters were outside asking us questions about our thoughts and our favorite characters. Such a tremendous moment.

Great reaction first off...Having seen your reaction to episode 2 and when you were excited about the younglings. Seeing your reaction now to Anakin killing them was as I felt it, sad and disbelief. I personally found the fall from Anakin to the dark side very sudden in this movie but if you watch clone wars, you can see there how slowly slowly Palpatine gets more and more in Anakins mind. Also as you realized, the vision of Padme's death was in the end Anakin's own doing. It always got me the moment Padme dies from heartbreak, having lost her love vs. Anakin becoming fully Darth Vader. And yes Vader in Dutch at least means father, not sure if intended. The lightsaber duel between Obi and Anakin is absolutely the best and Obi's speech and sentence you were my brother is also so heartbraking but powerful.

The Rogue One film and the series The Mandelorian and Obi-Wan are a must watch now.

THIS is why reaction videos are so amazing. I'm pretty sure this one movie gives the best reaction videos ever made. And to be 100% honest, half the guys I ever met would probably do exactly what Anakin did given all the same criteria.

I saw RotS when it first came out. The cinema was completely packed and buzzing, but at the end, when the lights went up, everyone was shook, and left the theatre in total silence.

This film is so well made and it’s by far the best movie in the saga. Anakin is my favourite character ever and his turn to the Dark Side breaks me every time, seeing you turn on the water works during that scene made me tear up too despite seeing it like a hundred times before 🥺😅 This story is so beautiful and so tragic all at once. You should definitely watch Obi-Wan Kenobi after this and give The Clone Wars a chance, they both expand on the Anakin/Obi-Wan relationship massively. I’m so glad I discovered your channel, I’ll be going back to watch all your other SW reactions after this one. Love the red lighting btw, very fitting. PS don’t let people online discourage you from seeing the Sequel Trilogy. They’re not bad films at all. You might not like them or you might love them but come to that conclusion yourself rather than letting haters persuade you to not even give them a chance. I’m sure you were planning on watching them anyway, I thought I’d say this just in case.❤

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS WAITING IS GOING TO BE THE END OF ME NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, what a reaction, this movie was my favorite of my entire childhood even with this sad ending thanks to bring back memories.

to this day every time I watch this last scene or see a reaction like yours, I do have tears and it reminds me the reaction in the theatres was the same

To Stef, I know that this episode has been a real tearjerker, it’s the darkest one of this six part movie saga. But rest assured episode 6 will bring some badly needed catharsis after all this, I’m looking forward to your reaction to Return of the Jedi.

Once you've seen episode 6, I think it would be a good idea to see "the chosen one" - its a fan made cut of the most important bits ;p definently need a watch.

LOL "Flick the wrist!" (28:16), I've always thought that haha Both starwars and LOTR, loved the reactions! Subbed! Prequels were very underrated due to George's choices on dialogue, but when it comes to action, world-building, music, etc, it's a precious gem.

If you watch the clone wars tv show, it adds SO MUCH needed context and fleshing out of the characters. It makes this 100x more heartbreaking.

24:30 Stef Jedi moment

In my opinion, this is the second best Star Wars movie behind empire strikes back. If you watch Clone Wars, it makes those scenes with obi Wan hurt even more.

Incredible Reaction. I was crying along side you, despite having watched it so many times

Nice to see such a good reaction and appreciation of the films from a new perspective.

I would highly suggest to reacting to the clone wars, you’ll get to see the entirety of the war leading up to episode 3
