WATCHING STAR WARS ATTACK OF THE CLONES (EPISODE 2) FOR THE FIRST TIME REACTION/COMMENTARY |STARWARS 

Also just so you guys know, I’m pretty sure it is a five year age difference between Anakin and Padme, she was 14 and he was 9 in the first movie.

Also Jango Fetts kid is Boba Fett from the original trilogy

Now you guys have to watch the entire 7 Seasons of The Clone Wars before watching Revenge Of The Sith.

@@amrosoronar1853 They already watched Revenge of the Sith, but yes, they definitely should watch Clone Wars

Come on ... THINK ... Yoda has trained Jedi for 800 years ... so he will have had loads of Padawans.

Padme was 14? damn i would have never known.

Yeah it seemed weird because anikin was played by a very younger kid in episode 1

Ages confirmed in The Saga Begins - Weird Al Yankovic

THey may have changed it. At the time the movie came out they quote Ani as being 20, and having turned 10 right after end of episode 1. Either way the age difference is close, and not weird at all.

​@blackknight1013 Yeah, puberty is a bitch sometimes lol

HOLY FUCK

You're not wrong. It's explained in better detail in the novelization. In the novelization, Anakin heard Qui-Gon Jinn too, but he was deep and engaged in his rage killing to stop. The slaughter of the Tusken Raiders is far more violent in the book. Definitely an excellent book worth reading.

i always caught that too

Yeah, but it becomes obvious in the next movie who is actually in charge of the clones, despite the Jedi commanding them in battle. But yes, the more you pay attention the more brilliant Sheev's scheming appears. Long con is not enough to describe it, considering he also inherited much of it from a long line of Sith Lords over 1000 years.

They knew about the power coupling cause they’re jedi, who know a lot about technology and weapons, and cause it’s a basic power structure, especially with the technology they have in the star wars universe.

This film does have its flaws and cringey moments but it also has some of the best Star Wars scenes in it at the same time. Definitely under appreciated

I actually think it's the best prequel movie. So 6th overall. I used to appreciate it even more, back when I judged them based on the amount of lightsaber scenes that were in them. Back then it was obviously 2nd after Episode 3.

@@James-kd2qm it's alright when you're young, it's natural to say cringey stuff at that age. this movie covers it well as well

Hate when other reactors, not these 2, say about old movies “why do they default to he”, well of course they did, it was a different time, and also cause men are more likely to do these types of things, or the reaction I watched where this was mentioned, which was death note, with the police assuming Kira was a “he”, study a like pshycology, and you’ll understand why this is the case.

I dunno, m8... my entire cinema burst out with laughter when Yoda turned into a little green frog hopping all over. The ridiculousness's of the movie had been piling up for so long by that point there was no other recourse but to laugh in despair at what we perceived as the death of the Star Wars we had all grown up with.

@@sandwiched it's almost as if... different people have different experiences 😆

@@RazorwireReviews Inconceivable!!

Rico's reaction to Yoda fighting was my exact reaction when I saw it in theaters for the first time, along with everyone else in my movie theater.

Same here, the theatre erupted in a roar of excitement. Of course I went opening night, so a lot of super fans to the franchise. Considering episode one, this was definitely a nice upgrade. Even with all its criticism.

Actually he is 20 in episode 2. They claim he turned 10 at the end of 1 and so is 20 in the second movie that is 10 years on.

​@@blackknight1013who is they? In any official start wars reading it says he it's 19 in this movie. So, where are you getting your source from?

Problem is the casting makes the difference appear much wider in the first movie so feels really weird in this one. Portman is 8 years older than the kid and it feels really wrong to see a 19 yo and an 11 yo become a relationship.

@@tinamardt7734 So you think 8 years is too much? Are you nuts? 20 and 28 is hardly a big thing. I met my wife to be when I was 19 and she as 25.

@@blackknight1013 sadly even today people think that age matters in love which is bullshit. If feelings are mutual age doesn’t matter.

It’s true that people often forget his first 10 years where as slave and he got separated from his mother and had to restrain his feelings for the next 10 years .

@@desativadoofficial Boba told Vader where Han was

@@Kephy_ That isnt the same as "capturing" ... tl;dr Being PRECISE with WORDS is a lost art ...

@@Muck006 He did get the credit in the eyes of the criminal underworld. A person in universe would believe that he captured him, as would probably historians later based on the evidence available.

The legendary bounty hunter, Boba Fett defeated in the most stupid way in original trilogy....." Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where? and Han hit Boba jetpack flying and hit the wall of hovercraft and fell into Sarlac Pit.

@Dayspring Absolutely. I couldn't watch the show seeing how they did him.

Yup, dude had no other experience besides work and training

He’s literally raised in a temple. What can people expect from a monk knight 😂 it’s not like Luke didn’t have his horny moments either especially for his sister.

@@tbakhalid4781 Exactly except Luke was more of a Farmboy... which could explain a few things really... lol

Exactly. He was a Slave until the Age of 9 and part of a Monastic Order that forbids attachment after that. That kid has never learned how to talk to someone apart from communication involving his duties as a jedi.

@@avsbes98 Yep and he was raised by a brother figure who did not put him in line like Qui Gon (the father figure) would have.

The people in the bar on corusant didn’t really care about a jedi cutting off someones arm. The jedi are very rare in the galaxy, but on corusant, everyone knows them, cause they’re the generals of the military, and very well trained in almost everything, and can be given any difficulty of assignment, from local security like we just saw, to top secret infiltration and assasination, even though the last one is not very jedi like, and people know that you don’t mess with them, even most bounty hunters and elite warriors don’t get involved with jedi, no matter the price.

spoilers. cmon..

​@HellBrYnger not really a spoiler because the movies doesn't really clearly say that and because they didn't clear it up its a misconception that storm troopers in the original trilogy is thought to be Clones still

I don't think there were any female stormtroopers until the Disney buyout.

@@HellBrYnger They have already seen 4, 5, and 6, so not a spoiler.

incorrect, Vader's Fist was made up of mostly clones and elite humans

And the animated shows clone wars, rebels, and bad batch go into the whole thing about the stormtroopers starting out as clones, then becoming stormtroopers, what happens to them, cause they age twice as fast, and how most of the stormtroopers in the original triology aren’t clones, but just regular humans, which is also part of the reason they are so much worse in the original triology than in the prequels.

You guys should react to the 3 episodes of the animated star wars show called tales of the jedi that focuses on Dooku, they go really well together with this movie.

About Hayden Christensen who plays Anakin, he was directed to act very stoic and monotone, to imitate Darth Vader, and make the transition more seamless, cause Vader is almost like a robot, a cyborg, so that’s why Anakin is the way he is, but also cause of trauma and other psychological reasons.

Apparently she was popular enough they wanted to rewrite Naboo's constitution to keep her in office but she declined.

​@@PheonixFire She was well loved and received a Queen's funeral too I think.

When he was in the Jedi order he was number two behind yoda .

Love how this movie is like, what’s the best investment for future warfare and science, AI or cloning, droids or clones, although both things will of course get a lot of investment, and each has its ups and downs.

Love Jango and Cad Bane just not giving a thing about jedi, cause they’re so good at their job.

Of all the problems with how Padme is written, the age difference between her and Anakin is among the very least of her issues 😂

Anyone voting for a 14-year-old girl to be queen should lose their right to vote ... and any culture electing KIDS to be rulers needs a nice dictator to kick them in the butt.

@@joer3720 what do you mean how she is written. I didnt notice any problems with her character. The only problem is that the movies dont explain a lot of her inner thoughts about things. But overall she isnt really badly written.

@@joer3720 Padme is actually a good character. Anakin is more textually flawed but well it has been a Star Wars tradition to have problematic main characters so we can overlook that.

@@anteletica1148 He talks about killing children and many innocent aliens for a few bad apples and she realises "I want to marry this man".

Interesting Anakin and Pade talking about politics, and Anakin saying the politicians ahould be made to agree. Well, a supercomputer with AI could in theory make calculated, unbiased, and icecold decisions on the right thing to do with everything, which wouldn’t work of course, but the idea of objective truths and science over feelings and religion is the takeaway from that, cause that’s how politics should be, but until then, just spending all the money on public infrastructure would be the best solution, cause it stays, when politics change.

Creating a war where you control both sides of the conflict has been done since time immemorial, usually by superpower countries. Worse both sides are fighting with disposable troops, clones vs robots - so the personal loss of soldiers that must be suffered for all wars to end is just not there. Countless frontline planets and civilizations would be completely destroyed during the war, but if you also control the United Nations (the Galactic Senate), you can censor those casualty reports. Sidious was a dick

Dooku left before that

I think a lot of people (maybe most of them) assumed that the first time we watched the movie for the first time (you know without Clone Wars existing yet), including me... and I like to think they're the same actually

I cringed so hard when he thought they were the same.

Yeh and those who aren't major SW geeks like me and some of us also don't know about how they cushion their falls with the force and all other such moves, and the focus it takes for all of it. We see just light saber fights, (awesome ones) but there is more than meets the eye.

It's funny how each of the prequel movies, while questionable overall, have specific parts that are really freaking epic... the podrace and its sound effects and the lightsaber duels with Darth Maul in Episode I... the seismic charges, and the dusty beginnings of the Clone Wars battle on Geonosis in this one...

Him too... at 23:18 he's talking about Dooku erasing Kamino archives.

I second this but in this movie he payed more attention especially with whole Dooku situation.

Well, that is a small spoiler about Dooku.

@@jasontodd8296 I changed it just in case, but I don't remember it being revealed in any movie

@@rol1xgames333 I think it may have been revealed in the novelisation, perhaps? But it was shown in the Tales of the Jedi.

@@jasontodd8296 well, it seems to me that by the time of Tales of the Jedi, everyone who was interested in it already knew about it and it wasn't a surprise but maybe you're right and not everyone is into it

@@rol1xgames333 Just in case, if they go down the animation road.

WRONG ... Obi-Wan was far too young to be wise enough to train Anakin correctly. It was NOT "being stuck in Jedi code" ... The lesson Anakin needed HAMMERED INTO HIM is ... HUMILITY! [Back in Ancient Rome a victorious general had his day of triumph in Rome and behind the general was a slave on the chariot during the parade, who constantly repeated "remember you are only a human" ...] In addition to this Anakin desperately needed SELF-CONTROL ... and Obi-Wan failed in teaching both, because he was too young himself.

​@@Muck006I disagree, and your acertion that the OP is just "WRONG" is disrespectful. What Anakin really needed was to learn to deal with loss. All of his dark side power starts to manifest when he loses someone. The loss of his mother sent him into a killing rage and just the thought of losing Padme was enough to push him to the dark side because he believed it was the only way to save her. Also, I'm aware that Yoda tried to teach Anakin that losing someone is a natural part of life and that he should rejoice in them joining the force instead of morning and missing them.

I think you both are right. Obi Wan was young himself and he was stuck up on Jedi codes. I clearly didn’t understand the psychology of a child who was separated from his mother and with judgemental eyes of council needed a father figure. Obi Wan though discipling him would make Council look at him differently and Anakin himself would come to like it too. Being inexperienced became Obi Wan’s flaw.

@@tbakhalid4781 Anakin needed love and compassion, and Obi Wan didn’t give him that. All he did was judge him most of the time, he was too overly critical and he didn’t take the time to listen to Anakin when he should’ve.

@@JoshuaBloom01 Yeh, but Yoda's teaching to Anakin was so wrong for him. Wise Master Yoda really didn't know his audience. Anakin's story is such a tragedy. He was failed all around him, both by good intentions and by bad ones.

Anakin was obviously just trying to show off for Padmé. She wanted to know who was trying to kill her and he obliged, not giving two cuts about anything else. She was obviously more important than anything, to him. Including his life as a Jedi. It seems a bit far-fetched but I believe it's supposed to foreshadow his fall in the next movie, which is all about his love for Padmé.

Obi-Wan was a "grandson" like figure to Dooku, who did train and love Qui Gon. He wouldnt kill his son's son.

@@paulhewes7333 for sure.

SO he cut Anakin’ s arm to increase his hate

Actually that was because Obi Wan imitated the sound of a Krayt dragon, and the Tuskans are afraid of Krayt dragons.

Isn't it a thing in the new canon where he slaughters Tuskens everytime he has to visit Tatooine?

@@britt6184 Well, I'm not sure about the new canon. But it would make sense that the Sand People would be afraid of Jedi, considering a single Jedi wiped out an entire tribe which included their children.

Padme is a young cougar

@@sandwichedthis movie is so overrated haha😂

Personally, I loved Jar Jar as a kid - which by the way was his actual purpose in the movie so it's something that George Lucas got right in my book. He made me laugh, I liked how different and musical his speech was, I LOVED the Gungun culture - so cool! - and I thought he was totally unlike every other main character: a unique species, dialect, background etc. Also, whilst the romantic aspect of Anakin and Padme's relationship was rushed, and the dialogue wasn't always good, I always found it strangely believable. The character is 20 at most in this story - 20 year olds say a lot of corny mediocre lines. If anything, the lines being cringe sort of feed into the whole theme that their relationship is a bad move. And I don't mind if anybody disagrees. I always thought that people read a lot of toxic stuff onto Jar Jar's character from real world history which, quite frankly, is just off. I understand the arguments- blackface minstrel archetypes and all that - but when I was a member of the target demographic (children), I don't remember thinking lowly of Jar Jar's species (the Gungun culture was one of my all-time favourites in Star Wars with their underwater bubble cities, portable forcefields, Kadoo cavalry, bursur pets and stranger hierarchical culture that seemed to consist of difference sub-species), nor of Jar Jar himself. In a film franchise with all of these perfectly dextrous and graceful jedi, and these perfectly beautiful actors and actresses, strangely enough Jar Jar added something real for me - something relatable, funny, believable. I'd think - hey I'm clumsy sometimes too, but sometimes I style it out like that - watching Jar Jar accidentally cause havoc amongst the droids. Sometimes I would think wow! isn't it interesting watching Jedis interacting with normal everyday citizens of a planet, to whom jedi and sith are myths and the force is an exotic religious concept like God or karma. Basically, people politicize stuff, and impute motives they cannot prove, and it sucks. It also terrifies people about taking artistic risks or being inspired by stuff IRL. They borrowed a wonderful West Indian dialect for a culture for a movie, and that is somehow racist? I mean... this crap just wouldn't have passed muster in my undergraduate essays.

You mean raise right?

@@technopirate304 I got a very unintended and wrong image in my head from that line from Domingo, lol.

@@rydout 🤣😂🤣😂

4 years and couple months. Anakin was 9. Beginning of the clone wars he is 19 and when it ends he is 22👍

Thats why Qui gon would of joined Dooku

Yeah, but then you have the final episodes of Clone Wars Season 7 that overlap with RotS... they could watch seasons 1-6 -> RotS -> season 7...

Good soldiers follow orders...

I had to find Rex in the Return of the Jedi after this comment. NICE!
