[@brandonhancock8620]

Anakin Skywalker loved flying. Anakin Skywalker REALLY loved flying.

[@jakeshaffer9324]

Hearing Alex say shit made me laugh way more than it should’ve

[@Kunx990]

You haven't seen the Fallen Order streams then

[@BleedingUranium]

"Lawbreakers are sent to the moon" just sounds really funny as a sentence to me.

[@infinitedarkness98]

Naughty Naboo are sent to Moon Jail to atone for their crimes

[@jackj9816]

Great so Australia is a moon in this world

[@NoCluYT]

Anakin and Padme's relationship would've been so much more impactful to the audience if George Lucas kept those deleted scenes at Padme's family home in Naboo.

[@Dyundu]

GOAT Agreed.

[@beneven-kesef5121]

If I could fix any one thing about the prequel trilogy, it would be the dialogue in AOTC between padme and anakin

[@KrazyKryptonian]

GOAT agreed.

[@CoreUsGaming]

Absolutely, it left out some much needed character development for them both.

[@comicop2513]

Yes, but it's easy to see why they were cut. Some of the acting and dialogue in them were pretty iffy, and it completely disrupts the overall pacing of the film if they were inserted.

[@andyrihn1]

There’s a theory floating around that this Padme is the same Padme from the prequel trilogy

[@twstf8905]

Ba dum dum PSSSH 🥁

[@red7standingby359]

Eh I don’t like it it seems kind of forced

[@looneyluna96]

Goddammit Disney is ruining everything! What's next, the Wookie from Solo is the same one from the original trilogy?

[@justdobber7493]

What's next, the sith in rogue one is the same one as the one from a new hope?

[@jamiescamihorn6231]

@@looneyluna96 Its totally EK Johnston's fault, and the Story Group's fault for not reigning her in. Lets just change this, and lets just change this, and change this.

[@stanley5745]

I had no idea Richard Armitage was in Phantom Menace!

[@TheDarthChief]

5:21 Wow, what a connection.

[@BleedingUranium]

Yeah that's really cool, I had no idea he was in the movie!

[@kokopelli_002]

"What's your name?" "Thorin." "Thorin who?" "Thorin, Son Of Skywalker."

[@LPGD1994]

Did Padmé’s parents know about her twins being born?

[@Batmansdad1]

I haven't thought about that, but I don't think they would have. They disguised Padme to look pregnant at her funeral, and I think Obi-Wan, Yoda, and the Organas are really the only ones who knew the truth

[@drewderuyter2743]

I don’t think so, if the twins had gone to her family, palpatine likely would’ve found them.

[@jackj9816]

Drew DeRuyter and it don’t help that it’s his home world lol

[@adamgreenlee1150]

Did I have a stroke or did Alex Damon just curse

[@twstf8905]

Does everything suddenly smell like walnuts?! If so, you probably had a stroke. 🤜💥🤛

[@rowdystaudi]

wow. very cool! tons of easter eggs/tie ins

[@Daniel-Strain]

Great video! Keep in mind when they say something like "30 planets in the sector" they are talking about largely populated planets with political identities. Any region of the galaxy that size would have hundreds of thousands of stars, and millions of planets. But most of them are insignificant and uninhabitable rocks and gas giants. Some with minor mining settlements perhaps, but vastly more just empty of sentient life, having been deemed of little value long ago.

[@AllPureSkill]

So many easter eggs and questions resolved so much fun

[@DanGrievous]

Wasn't Shadda-Bi-Boran indirectly mentioned for the first time in a deleted scene from "Attack of the Clones"?! Padmé and Anakin looked at a holographic picture on the wall and she explained how she helped relocate all the children because their homeworld's sun was imploding.

[@matejmatthewbures6300]

Last time I was this early Boba Fett was still in the Sarlacc Pit

[@neonspecter2730]

I swear to come up with Star Wars names they just dangle a microphone over a baby.

[@SharpDesign]

The word $#!* exists in Star Wars? Well then.

[@clubpenguinpingo]

I mean, it was kinda implied to be a word in the Solo movie when Lando almost said it during the kessel run

[@reelkonversationswithryank4945]

So does the word "hell" and the concept of it as a place you go when you die. Han says, "Then I'll see you in hell" as he rides out on his Tauntaun to find Luke.

[@SharpDesign]

Lol..these are true

[@clubpenguinpingo]

@@reelkonversationswithryank4945 that's a question i still think about about, sith hell? lol

[@Nemesis_T-Type]

AT-AT KARABAST

[@MegaMr46]

4:51 😱 Excuse me?

[@ToyCarCollection]

I believe Rio Durant said “sh*t” in solo when he got shot

[@adampriest4844]

I thought Padmé pushed for the generator and Panaka pushed for more guards?

[@mangrove]

@5:02 It sounds like the Gungans are lied to about Theed the same way North Koreans are told about South Korea.

[@jackj9816]

To be honest with all the shit jar jar gets I find the political stuff on Naboo interesting like how they deal with the gungans and stuff

[@ninjataco7777]

Nute Gunray and a battle droid disliked this

[@wullfsaxon2634]

I don't get why they don't just make the Darth Plagueis book cannon 😔

[@GriffinWing93]

Because there's things in that book that don't mesh with the new Canon, the best example would be Darth Maul's origin it's a very different from Canon

[@hktheassassindroid]

GriffinWing93 true, but it's too good of a book to be ignored in canon. If they made it canon now, I would be too excited to care about minor stuff like that

[@wullfsaxon2634]

@@GriffinWing93 oh yes you're right actually. I hope they explore the story of Darth P and sidious in his youth again. My only worry is that because they don't like to rehash exactly what was in the previous books they're probably gonna alter it a lot and I just hope they don't make the whole story fall flat.

[@ericstahmer720]

I think they should get James Luceno to rewrite Plagueis into the new Canon the way Timothy Zahn rewrote the Thrawn trilogy

[@zeemer7040]

So Naboo lawbreakers are sent to Gulag.

[@chunkychatters4387]

Last Time I was this early Darth Maul was dead after Episode 1

[@garypfeiffer3489]

Padm'e's father looks like a priest

Thanks, Alex! 👑

[@BrianGates06]

Who is the blonde decoy on the far right at 2:17? How come no one ever talks about her?!

[@serinthia]

That's Eirtaé, one of Padme's handmaidens. She's the only one with blonde hair.

[@jackj9816]

Give it time there will be a eu story for her at some point

I don't remember hearing "shit" in my copy. Maybe I wasn't listening closely lol.

[@TheLiamster]

“Karabast” is a Star Wars swear word.

[@lewis3140]

Its there, Sio Bibble in his thoughts says that in his 'professional opinion' the Trade Federation treaty is 'shaak shit'

[@twstf8905]

Jeezus! There's just something about Natalie Portman in this role...🔥 Maybe it has more to do with these films coming out during "THAT" very particular period of my adolescent development lol I've been rather profoundly imprinted upon. 🤣

[@jackj9816]

If rouge one came out when I was a teen jyn would have been my biggest crush

[@zebulenyager8638]

Little side note about behpour it is a planet that has appeared in star wars the clone wars republic heroes game so that planet joins the new star wars canon but is the game still canon?

[@emperorholocron8278]

4:53 Did Alex say ship or shit just then? 😂

[@ashmovader6221]

So part of the book is during TPM?

[@rorytayler9058]

What's the context of the "shit"!?!

[@duffzilla1292]

Swearing in Star Wars, weird

[@Dyundu]

Duffzilla12 Very.

[@JaydenVarghese]

if you think that's weird, just read Master and Apprentice. Rael Averross frequently swears, does deathsticks, has sex, and *HE'S A JEDI*

@@JaydenVarghese Sex is also referred a few times in Lost Stars

[@Dalekscientist]

Land does say shit, but not before getting cut off in solo a star wars story. Han also says crap.

[@LazyGyro]

Well what the context of "shit" lol, I think that would be nice to mention

[@Dyundu]

Brandan Miller Try Alphabet Squadron. It’s really, really good.

[@jonasb104]

Why, this doesn't sound bad to me and I also read books like Bloodline and Master&Aprantice, they are all good.

[@Grand_History]

Jonas Brauer I’ll admit that master and apprentice was good. But it’s a diamond in the rough. Almost every book now is just a character from the movies in a story that goes nowhere and fails to compliment the other material

[@jonasb104]

@@Grand_History If you think so, I haven't read Thrawn for example since I don't have the first book of the series, but I'm sure that it will be good for canon-Thrawn too. And the Aftermath trilogy was great too. But of course preferences and opinions are different.

[@Grand_History]

Jonas Brauer the first two thrawn books are great, but the third is lacking. The aftermath trilogy is better in summary than when you’re mid-reading it. And I would NOT read the ahsoka novel if you haven’t already. Basically, every male character in that book is either and ass, an idiot, or both. Meanwhile all the female characters are made to be perfect in every way.

[@lvnz2689]

I've been watching your videos for years now and this is the first time I've heard you say a cuss word. Wow.
