STAR WARS EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH is SO INTENSE. | First time watching

[@CristyReacts]

Hey friends! Thanks for accompanying me on another Star Wars movie, I love this world and its characters! Been getting a lot of comments about this, so I'm just gonna leave this here: *yes, I do plan to watch the other Star Wars movies*. I know some of you feel very strongly about them, but please respect my experience as a first time watcher and don't try to influence how I feel about a movie before I watch it. I'd really like to make up my own mind. After talking it out with my Patreon, next we'll do Solo, then Rogue One, then the sequels. I'm looking forward to it! Maybe we'll agree about those movies, or maybe we won't. But above all I hope we can stay respectful and friendly.

[@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc]

La verdad es que Rogue One es lo único decente que ha hecho Disney con la franquicia. Lo demás, francamente, es basura. Pero está bien que veas esas series y esas películas, y juzgues por ti misma.

[@dhavaram8064]

After you watch Rogue One you should definitely watch the show Andor.

[@Bodypit1]

I'm glad you aren't listening the naysayers and rather watch them and form your own opinions. I'm personally not the biggest fan of the sequel trilogy (*cough* The Last Jedi *cough*) but I still think they are worth watching and I know that there is lots of people who enjoy them and find them very entertaining. As you delve more into SW you'll notice that there is constant shitstorm in the fandom and there is ALWAYS folk who think they know what you should watch and like. I have no idea how so many people have missed the core message of this franchise, but somehow that seems to be the reality. So, it's better to shut out all of the negative crap and just keep an open mind & have fun.

[@mckrackin5324]

When Palpatine tells Anakin to leave Obi-Wan to die, Anakin replied "His fate will be the same as ours". Well, they all died on a Death Star and they were all killed by Anakin/Vader. So, yeah.

[@SoTOreo]

I mean Anakin did blow up the death star twice killing millions of innocent people just doing their jobs..... not that the death star didnt blow up planets killing millions of innocent people just living their lives 🤣thats the disney moral code... there is no bad side its just perspective... lets forget the fact they dont even know the name of the characters and how could LUKE blow up the second death star when he was on it fighting vader and then evacuating? i used to think that more content was always better but the fact that the people writing and directing now are just making a mockery of everything to push an agenda.... go look at the expanse.... bad ass female characters none of it feels forced. we dont need to be like "men are bad, make everything women" also how disney gonna keep attacking white men for sexism and racism..... you had a bada** character you fired because she expressed her freedom of speech but you didnt like her opinion.... you also photo shopped out the 1 black person on a poster for your movie when it was released in china because china apparently is more racist than america.... DISNEY did that.... not us..

[@theIronwolf1984]

​@SoTOreo your comment might make more sense if you rewrote it..because it reads as if you think Disney had something to do with ROTS. Sentence structure is important when trying to communicate ideas.. also it's unclear based on how it's written whether or not you believe good and evil is only perspective or if you are saying that's what Disney believes etc. I for one believe that good and evil IS perception based...like for instance you have a morale code where murder is a crime or unforgivable sin...whereas someone else may be from a culture where it is not viewed in the same way...who is to say which is correct? And if those morales are based a religion or diety and you have never seen your god and they have never seen theres..then who is to say that either have any meaning? But also just to be clear I am the mind that murder is morally wrong except under very few and and strict circumstance. And I base that morale conviction on having gone to war and seen the effects of both taking life and seeing it taken has on a person's psyche. Anyways cheers and apologies if any of my reply reads as combative it's merely an attempt to understand what you meant.

Yeah, that's how the average 10-year-old would look at it, making sure the teams are evenly matched. If that was the case, he brought the Force out of balance when he destroyed Sheev and himself, because then the Jedi were up 1-0 with only Luke left. Unless you count Filoni's fan fiction, with Ahsoka and the rest. Anakin brought balance when he destroyed Sheev, not before.

[@sinjin4563]

30:54 Misremembering, only Qui Gon wanted to take Anakin on. They all sensed evil on the council.

[@OfficialDoggyYT]

5:37, basically Mace Windu damaged his breathing system iirc. 6:35 btw fun fact, here Anakin says "my powers have doubled since the last time we met count", this wasnt after fighting Anakin in Episode 2, but his powers doubled after the Clone Wars animated series. So hes even more powerful than most people think.

[@kristof.demeter]

I mean is kinda funny cause if you think about it. His prime is in Mortis

[@Sandlund93]

That series wasn't even a thing when this movie was filmed. It's a retcon of the story and Ahsoka is the biggest proof of that. Nobody even mentions her in this movie or the OT. So, it's obvious that Anakin is referring to their duel on Geonosis, they simply hadn't seen each other in 3 years. Which actually makes more sense than Dooku being the Saturday morning cartoon villain. Another thing is when Grievous reveals to Obi-Wan that Dooku trained him in lightsaber combat. Why would he say that, if they already fought countless times, like they do in the series? According to Sam Witwer, Filoni even forgot that Padmé and Shmi met in Episode 1. The guy is a complete clown and he showed it fully with his Ahsoka series.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

12:33 "That's really scary. Imagine training yourself to not care if you lose your... spouse." That's not exactly what he said, Cristy. He advised Anakin to train himself to let _go._ He advised Anakin to recognize that, inevitably, all life is temporary. The people you love the most will inevitably die, one day. That day might come tomorrow or it might come many _years_ from now. Yoda's advice, just now, was not to train oneself to be utterly _indifferent_ to the fact. It was to train oneself to recognize the fact as _inevitable._

[@kristof.demeter]

I mean Yoda cant did this himself when his master died for exemple he cant let it go this is why he speaks backwards and this is because to honour hím but still its some kind of attachment. This advise more like that: If you loose someone grief him/her but do not let your grief take over you. This is what he said to Obi Wan as well. Think of death as something that sets people free

[@SentinelGiga]

What you say is correct on paper and yes, inevitable but it doesn't make that moment any easier to deal with. When the film first came out, sure I understood what Yoda was saying was simply logical but jump 15 years later and my mom was wasting away with no hope of a cure and I ain't gonna lie, I would have done anything, paid any price to save her, no matter how terrible. When you're caught up in a whirl of emotion like that, it's so hard to think straight.

[@lordmortarius538]

How did Anakin go from being a sweet little boy to Darth Vader? Well.... it was all the Jedi's fault. If Qui-gon Jinn had lived, things may have turned out differently, as he was clearly the father figure that the boy needed, but Obi-wan had to fill in instead, and always viewed Anakin as a younger brother. Also, being just out of training himself, Obi-wan wasn't prepared to train a 9 year old boy (since most Jedi Younglings are taken to the Temple at age 1-2). The Jedi never thought to free his mother from slavery even though it would have been a simple affair for them, and tried to force their dogmatic teachings of emotion suppression on him after he'd already developed his own persona (which is why children are taken to the Temple so young, so they don't form attachments and are thus molded in the Jedi way from the start). Obi-wan was used to this style of teaching and was not prepared for how Anakin would react to how harsh he was, sowing the seeds of resentment in him early. Anakin has also seen all of the corruption in the Republic, in the Senate via his dealings with Padme during the Clone Wars, their turning a blind eye to smuggling, slavery, and other bad shit in the name of profit, and even the Jedi's hypocrisy in claiming to be peacekeepers and yet pushing for more offensives during the war instead of even attempting diplomacy. Add to that when Anakin goes to Yoda for advice, he gets the typical "Hands-off" treatment that Yoda is famous for, and is left feeling completely misunderstood, which further confuses his loyalties. He wants to be a good Jedi, but he sees how what they do isn't always good. He's always held that a benevolent tyranny is better than a democracy of idiots and thieves, and Palpatine uses that and other confidences to draw him in to his plots while seeming to be a friend. This is not Anakin's fault, and he does try to do the right thing after he finds out Palpatine is Darth Sidious, but then he sees Mace Windu do the exact thing he berated himself for earlier as 'not the Jedi way' and realises the Jedi are not the good guys they should be. After this, he basically feels like he has no choice but to follow through on his actions, which we all know is just digging himself into a deeper hole, but he doesn't realize this at first. Having always viewed the Dark Side as just another tool and not an inherently corrupting force also leads to his fall, especially after being told he's THE CHOSEN ONE his whole life and seeing the power he gets from tapping the Dark Side. You can tell he regrets some of what he's doing when he's standing on that balcony on Mustafar, tears falling, but he's in too deep now to go back. Finally, his outer hatred of Obi-Wan, of the Order, and of the Republic at the end are just pale reflections of his own self-hatred for all of the things he's done and knowing in the end that he didn't even achieve his goal of saving Padme. This is where his true strength as Vader comes from. Anakin would’ve done better in the older Jedi order (over 1,000 years ago) which was more pragmatic, more adaptable, and didn’t discourage attachments. Back then Jedi even had families and kids of their own. In the past it was the Sith who were dogmatic, and rigid. However ever since the last battle between the Jedi and the Sith (1,000 years ago) it’s now the Jedi who are too rigid, whereas the Sith had evolved and adapted. What Palpatine said about the Republic not being what it once was in Episode One, the same can be said of the current Jedi Order, ever since their last battle with the Sith. The Jedi had become too dogmatic, arrogant, rigid, and too detached from others. The Jedi had also become too out of touch with things, they failed to see that the galaxy was changing, that people had lost faith in the Republic which had become too corrupt and dysfunctional. The hypocrisy of the Jedi is that while they preached against attachments, they were too ‘attached’ to the Republic and the power that it gave them, they had become too political. They chose to follow the will of a corrupt Senate instead of the will of the Force like Qui Gon did. Qui Gon was the last true Jedi until Luke came along, he understood how misguided the Order had become. Obi Wan should’ve followed his example and not taken a seat on the Council. Anakin felt more alone after Ahsoka left the Order and it seemed to him that Obi Wan had chosen the Council over him, that he had abandoned him. Only after the fall of the Republic and the Order did Obi Wan realize that Qui Gon had been right all along. Both Obi Wan and Yoda went about training Luke a lot differently, they were kinder, more understanding, and not so rigid. They were both determined to mend the mistakes they had made with Anakin. Luke’s new Order in Star Wars Legends is a lot better than the previous Order had been.

[@CristyReacts]

Lots of great points! Seems the Jedi had a lot of hubris and mixed with Anakin being groomed by Palpatine, plus his "dark" tendencies... perfect storm!

[@tseh3]

Common misconception. The Jedi have always discouraged attachments. This never changed. Not even for Luke's New Jedi Order. That isn't to say that the jedi aren't allowed to love. As Anakin explained in AOTC, they are encouraged to love everyone equally. This is compassion. Attachment is when you love someone so much that you are unable to let go (detach) yourself from them. Think of the saying: "With great power comes great responsibility." In this instance that means that with the powers of a jedi, you should use it responsibly and not for fulfilling individual needs and wants. Attachment is the most unhealthy form of love. It is an obsession. Jedi are allowed to love as long they do not become attached. Jedi like Obi Wan and Ki Adi Mundi understood this perfectly. Obi Wan loved Satine but ultimately let go of her because he knew it would affect his commitment to the Jedi Order. Ki Adi Mundi had a family but ultimately he also could let go of his family. Anakin's love for Padme was the complete opposite. After the death of his mother he grew obsessed with her and promised to never let anyone go again. This is what led Anakin to the dark side, proving that the Jedi were right in forbidding attachments. Yes, the Jedi did play a role in Anakin's turn to the dark side. But you put far too much blame on the Jedi and not enough on Anakin himself. If Anakin wanted to fall in love and get married with Padme, thats fine. But he should have left the Jedi Order. Just like Obi Wan was planning to do when he realized he was becoming attached to Satine. But instead Anakin was selfish. He wanted to be a powerful jedi while also having the benefits of an ordinary civilian life. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Also freeing his mother is not as easy a task as you think. Shmi Skywalker belonged to the Hutts of Tatooine where the Republic and by extension, the Jedi, did not have jurisdiction. Qui Gon put this quite plainly in TPM. They also did not go there to rescue slaves. Had Anakin not been so strong with the force, he would not have been freed. That was the only reason he was rescued. Freeing Anakin's mother was also counterproductive to Anakin becoming a jedi. Ultimately it was Qui Gon's idea to make Anakin a jedi. The Jedi Council already predicted he would be dangerous due to him having formed attachments. They only really accepted Anakin into the Jedi Order to respect Qui Gon's final wish. While your comment is very well written, detailed and seemingly thorough. There is a little too much Anakin glazing and apologism for my liking. While there were many factors for Anakin's turn, the largest factor was Anakin's greed.

[@andreascookie296]

@@tseh3 Curious if you think that if the council had stood by their initial conclusion to not train Anakin would he not have become a sith or do you think Palpatine would find him anyway considering how strong in the force he was? I cant remember if Anakin was mentioned i the Plaguesis book, it was a while ago i read it. Personally i am unsure but i do believe that Palps dream of the Empire would still have happened because Anakin was only a tool. He would have found other ways. After all the dreams, plans and workings sort of started with Plaguesis even though his focus eventually drifted more to his obsession about life, death and the force in the end.

[@tseh3]

@andreascookie296 In the Expanded Universe, Sidious and his master, Plagueis, were partly responsible for creating Anakin. They had tried to manipulate the force for their own evil means. But the force rejected their manipulation and created Anakin in response. As for whether Anakin would have turned to the dark side, that is still up in the air. The Chosen One prophecy makes it clear that he will destroy the Sith and thus bring balance to the force. So if we are to take the Chosen One prophecy literally, had Qui Gon not found Anakin, I believe that he would have been discovered by another Jedi or force wielder at some point. Because in order to fulfil the Chosen One prophecy I would assume he would need to be trained in the ways of the force somehow. So it is possible that Sidious would have found him in this instance had Qui Gon failed to do so. However, if we are to ignore the Chosen One prophecy and pretend it doesnt exist. Then I do not think that Sidious would have discovered him.

Padme's last words "There's good in him" lived on. Her spirit and compassion passed on to Luke that eventually saved Anakin. Funny how Leia despised Vader but was infact more like her father, passionate and resolute.

I blame Palpatine for using Anakin's love of his wife against him to make him turn.

I liked at the beginning of Luke's journey (when arriving on Tatooine and given to Owen and Beru) they are in front of a double sun sunrise. One of the last scenes for Luke on Tatooine (before he goes off with Ben) you see look looking at a double sun sunset.

[@paulsideeye7546]

Cristy, your one liners are genius. Padmé; are you going to kill him? Cristy; No, we're gonna slap the dark side out of him.😂😂😂

[@dhavaram8064]

Palpatine may have used the Dark Side powers to control and manipulate life to get the midichlorians to conceive Anakin. The dreams Anakin had about his mother and later about Padme were almost certainly caused by Palpatine. Remember when Anakin told Padme "Jedi don't have nightmares"? Also remember that Palpatine had an extraordinary ability to see into the future, so he may have seen what Anakin was going to become even before Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon met him. Palpatine was playing 5d chess the whole time (manipulating the separatists to create a droid army and invade Naboo, having ordered the clones, getting elected to the Chancellor's position, getting control over the Senate, getting more and more executive powers, starting the Clone Wars, and playing Anakin like a fiddle.

[@mevb]

In the Clone Wars series, there's one episode where Obi-Wan hinted at that he knew or hghly suspected that Anakin and Padmé was very close (though not knowing they were married) when he after Anakin was communicting with him in secret and he was waiting outside, he said "Tell Padmé, I said hello.". He wanted his former Padawan, friend and brother to be happy so he didn't snitch to The Council about it, which is probably why Padmé asks Ani if Obi-Wan could help them.

Before this movie was released in theaters, the animated series Clone Wars was released, several important events happened in it, Anakin's appointment as a Jedi, when Padme gives him R2 as a companion, when the Skywalker twins are conceived, when they begin to use the fighters with which they begin the movie, R4 appears several times, the attack on Coruscant, the kidnapping of the chancellor and how Mace Windu wounds the Grivieous, the series ends exactly where the movie begins and ties up several ends of the movie, Later this series was withdrawn to make way for CGI but I am very fond of it, because I had finished watching it the day before the day I went to the cinema. I loved that union that existed between the two.

[@oxhine]

"The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural." Gives me chills every time. Love that opera scene. Hey, Cristy! Well, the Palpatine reveal caught you by surprise which is a delightful rarity! Lucas provided visual and vocal cues since "Phantom Menace" that Palpatine and Sidious were one and the same. Ian McDiarmid plays the Emperor in all the Star Wars films in which he appears. He's the one character having a total blast throughout the prequels because he's pulling everybody's strings! His seduction of Anakin is masterful. The absolute best line of the Prequel trilogy goes to Natalie Portman: "So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause." Wookiees live for hundreds of years! In "Revenge of the Sith", Chewbacca is 181 years old! It is a popular belief that Padme's life force was drained out of her and channeled into Anakin by Palpatine which is why her death and his re-birth are juxtaposed by Lucas. Therefore, Palpy is directly responsible for the death of the person he convinced Anakin he could save prompting his betrayal of the Jedi in the first place! A very cruel manipulation. One of the Jedi Order's problems is that they had become ossified by dogma and had lost touch with their true purpose. This made them vulnerable to manipulation by the Sith and blind to their own shortcomings. Iconoclasts like Qui-Gon sought esoteric knowledge beyond ordained teachings to plumb deeper truths and were viewed as troublesome for suggesting the Order had become complacent and stagnant. The knowledge Yoda imparts to Obi-Wan at the end is his discovery of the path to immortality. His spiritual journey is chronicled in the animated "Clone Wars" when he is instructed in the deepest mysteries of the Force. Jedi immortality manifests as the Force-ghosts you see in the Classic trilogy. This was an ability unknown to the Order until Qui-Gon contacts Yoda which is why there are no Force-ghosts in the Prequel trilogy. The Jedi are all but exterminated by Order 66 much like how the Knights Templar were rounded up on a single day, Friday the 13th, in October 1307, by order of the French King Philip IV in a series of coordinated, simultaneous arrests. Emperor Palpatine initiated a smear campaign to vilify the Jedi and expunged any mention of them from the historical record. Philip IV did the same to the Templars demonizing them with false allegations of larceny, murder, sexual perversion, sedition and Satanism that led to their mass burning at the stake with the blessing of the Papacy! Palpy achieved control of a galaxy with his scheme while Philip was simply dodging the crushing debt he owed the Order! The clones are tragic pawns in Palpatine's scheme. They were bred by the Republic and were loyal to their creators serving through thick and thin with their Jedi Generals. The animated "Clone Wars" does a magnificent job of individualizing the troopers. However, they were engineered with a fail-safe to force them to obey executive decisions without question. Initiating Order 66 flips the switch in their brains forcibly turning them against the Jedi whom they previously would have died for. It's a horrifying betrayal not least of which to the clones themselves. Although the Separatist leadership was led by Count Dooku, they weren't privy to the collusion between Dooku and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Each Sith Lord led a faction in the Clone Wars to play both sides against each other creating chaos they could manipulate to their personal advantage! The populations of the worlds which aligned with one faction or the other truly believed in their respective causes which were socioeconomic and geopolitical. The layman had no idea he was just a pawn in Palpatine's grand scheme. With the Jedi exterminated, the greatest threat to his plan was taken off the board and he sent Vader to dispose of the Separatist leadership so he could consolidate power over the organizations they represented. The Separatist worlds relied on the support of those industries and institutions so those worlds would fall in line once those support systems were firmly in the Emperor's grip. The japor snippet pendant Amidala was buried wearing was the same one Anakin carved for her in "Phantom Menace". Senator Bail Organa orders C-3PO's mind to be wiped but R2-D2's CPU is left intact. Artoo REMEMBERS EVERYTHING! Your next stop is to revisit the Vader-Kenobi duel in "A New Hope" right here on YT for an incredible update in SC-38 RE-IMAGINED by FXitinPost! It is recommended that you see the standalone films prior to the Sequel Trilogy. Chronologically, "Solo" comes first beginning 6 years after "Revenge of the Sith", then "Rogue One" occurs just before "A New Hope".

[@redonred0924]

I was 14 when this movie released in theaters, I remember loving The Phantom Menace, and thinking Attack Of The Clones was really boring, so my expectations/knowledge going into this movie were less than zero. To make a long story short, this movie blew my stupid little mind, and no movie theater experience has matched it since. Avengers: Infinity War is a close second, but I'd say this movie left a much longer lasting impression.

While it seems that Palapatine/Sidious' face to be disfigured because of the Force Lightning, the disfigured face is actually his real face because it was disfigured from all the use of The Dark Side. The handsome Palaptine face is a mask created through The Force, a technique called Force Mask. When the Force Lightning is relfected back, it destroys that mask showing his true face. This make sense because neither Anakin, Windu, Yoda or Luke's faces were disgfigured when they got hit by Force Lightning unlike Palpatine/Sidious.

Actually theres a theory that since his usage of the dark side, Palpatine has looked like that for some time, and in fact was using the Dark Side of the force to mask not just his presence as a Sith but also his true appearance, letting it down only as part of his scheming

[@doctor8342]

26:47 Palpatine pretty much always looked like that, he hid his looks with the Force to keep his Sith identity a secret. At this point in Star Wars he’s the most powerful being in the galaxy and it’s not really close. If Anakin were to completely let go of all his emotions and demons ect he would be magnitudes stronger than anyone but he’s too immature ect. Now lightsaber vs lightsaber I don’t think anyone could kill Obi-Wan he is an absolute beast with his lightsaber defensive style he uses no one could get a killing blow against him, now Palpatine and Yoda and probably Mace and Anakin could destroy him with the Force but straight up sword skills Obi-Wan walks away from every fight *this only applies when Obi-Wan is alone and doesn’t have anyone else to worry about.

What you're saying is a complete retcon of what we see in the film. When hes electrocuted, we see his skin slowly sagging and melting.

I laughed out loud at 17:02, Cristy's humor combined with the editor's humor = chef's kiss 💋 I agree the Anakin flip was undercooked. I choose to believe Palpatine had mind control abilities, that's why he was able to hide under everyone's noses, and that's why he was able to "turn" Anakin rotten like an apple. Otherwise it doesn't actually make sense; his character is totally different after he's spontaneously renamed to Darth Vader. "The Jedi have tried to overthrow the Republic," he lies to his wife's face after killing children. And the delivery of the name change was also goofy and undercooked. I guess some things are better left to the imagination, lol! Still a fine movie.

[@Cuban20]

Something I am not sure you noticed. But the guy on the bridge with the Emperor when Vader shows up, is actually a younger version of Grand Moff Tarkin. And in Episode II there is a scene when one of the Separatists is handing Count Dooku (Darth Tyrannis) this hologram computer thing and for a moment you see the Death Star as a hologram. Those were the original Death Star plans. So the Death Star is actually Separatist technology. Only they didn't realize all their weapons that they were developing was for the Empire. Not them. In the original Canon, all the machines and property of the Separatists were taken by the Empire. Right after Anakin was told by Sidious to shut the Droids down. In Disney Cannon they changed things with Star Wars Rebels where a faction of Separatist Droids managed to escape the Empire. But from the beginning, the Super Weapons Palpatine had were being developed by the Separatists. And also many of the designs for the space weapons came from his Master Darth Plageuis. And his Master, Darth Tenebrous. Oh that leads me to one final thing you may not have caught. I didn't catch it the first time either. Someone from a Star Wars video explained it later. Darth Plageuis wanted to become a god in the Force. So he and Palpatine gained cosmic powers. And he tried to create a powerful force sensitive being. The problem is, the Force hated Darth Plageuis. Because he and Palpatine had caused the Force to go out of Balance. So the Force created Anakin. He was the Chosen One after all. He was always going to be good and defeat Palpatine. But Anakin's bloodline are all chosen ones too. Like Luke and Leia. Even a thousand years later one of Leia's descendants named who was a Space Pirate and a Jedi, became an even more powerful chosen one. So the Skywalkers are all created to be heroes. Palpatine was telling Anakin his own origin story. That Plageuis created him (by accident). Plageuis freaked out when he realized Anakin existed. Because he knew the Force created the Chosen One. And the Sith were done for. He wanted to kill Anakin as a child. But Palpatine wanted to turn Anakin into his apprentice instead. And Plageuis was alive until the night before Qui Gonn died. So Sidious was still the Apprentice until right then. Oh and Palpatine has looked like that since the end of Phantom Menace when he killed his Master. Not because of the Force Lightning. Apparently dark side users eventually start to degrade. And the strongest dark side users all look pale with yellow eyes. Darth Plageuis looked like that too. The reason he looked normal for so long was because he used Sith Alchemy to change his appearance back to normal. But he finally dropped it during the fight with Windu to horrify Anakin. To make it look like Windu was responsible for his deformities. Make the Jedi look like even bigger bad guys. And also because he's stronger in his natural form than he is in human form. But that's why Palpatine had that inhuman scream when he started fighting the Jedi. Because he already lost his humanity to the dark side a long time ago. Edit And I have to add this, I love hearing you go "Ay No" and talk in Spanish. Hawt Af 😂

Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor practiced that final light saber fight for several months to get it right.
