Every Jedi & Sith From Star Wars Explained By Kevin Smith | WIRED

[@mikeroni]

Okay I’m ready for the extended hour long version with all the other Jedi, please Mr Smith

[@Belioyt]

Yes please

[@voxangelaemortis]

I love how you can see Kevin tearing up over the Ahsoka/Vader fight.

[@dr.dspoptartpool6167]

I always cry over Star Wars so I get his sentiment

[@Ladco77]

I heard some people complain that Obi-Wan's fight with Vader in Kenobi was just a rehash of the Ahsoka fight with him and yes it's pretty much the same thing, but I think there's a symmetry to those fights. Both Vader's master and his padawan bested him in the same way and each tried to connect with what remained of Anakin in that moment, and both failed to reach him.

[@Dan_d00d]

Both Ahsoka and Obi Wan each remove part of mask on opposing sides (incomplete reveal) and then its Luke who manages to unmask entirely at end of Return, the completion of Anakins redemption, but following those partial reveals and attempts at his humanity.

[@austinmeans7294]

Bro I just wish I could SEE the fight

[@jinwaugh]

Cmon Kevin. You did Maul dirty. Man comes back not once, but twice. (Though not technically sith when he comes back)

[@JWaltz91]

Kevin Smith noticeably holding back tears while describing the same things in Star Wars that get me is the most seen I've felt in the past 31 years, 11 months, and 16 days.

[@HermanVonPetri]

Leia? Luke did train her in the Jedi arts. If Jar-Jar gets a mention then it's a crime to miss talking about Leia.

[@atomicgator5207]

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Is it because she might be considered a force adept and not a jedi? But then again, as you said, Jar-Jar was mentioned.

[@jess_n_atx]

jar jar was a joke. he was doing a bit.

[@katlouwen3152]

My only criticism is was I wish it was longer 😂 really enjoyed this! And the real emotion all fans feel! 😭

[@MarkArandjus]

6:38 THIS That scene is the catharsis we were denied with The Last Jedi. They got Mark Hamill to come back and play Luke Skywalker and then when he finally steps onto the battlefield he... dodges a few saber strikes and fades away. What? No. We wanted Luke Skywalker to be Luke Skywalker and across the fanbase that episode of the Mandalorian was such a joyous moment, adults everywhere just turned into children again for a moment, it was amazing.

[@jess_n_atx]

because the term fan-service has become this dirty word. so now they avoid as much as possible

[@titanking8755]

I remember when i watched it no spoilers either which is kinda a 1st when i saw the final ep and saw that I got the child mindset again I was so exicted seeing that and I hope the new season coming out for the Mandalorian now is as good as the rest.

[@kevinsd99]

I don't hate The Last Jedi, but it has some problems. I'm kind of with you here. Rian Johnson was not a great choice for this movie.

[@OhYeah10100]

I feel like there are so few people who get emotional of the fiction they like, like I do, so it's really nice to see a star wars expert connect with the story like that

[@vassalloc83]

You did Maul dirty, man. Hands down the most tragic character in all of Star Wars.

[@LeStacheman]

I still think Obi has him beat. When a character steers closer to being the "good guy" in the story their tragedy holds more weight to me then the "bad guy" with a few exceptions in some stories.

[@SheevPalps868]

Vader is definitely the most tragic character in all of Star Wars.

[@LeStacheman]

@@SheevPalps868 i can see this as a better pick than Maul. I sometimes watch videos analysing his mental health and it's heart breaking. He did horrible unspeakable things and yet you look at his history and you can understand why he's messed up. Doesn't excuse it but it's a very good pick.

[@SheevPalps868]

@@LeStacheman maybe I’m biased, but when you break his character down I just don’t see how Vader isn’t the most tragic. He was destined for greatness, yet lost everything. Completely misguided and manipulated for his power and ended up living his life in constant pain and misery.

[@LeStacheman]

@@SheevPalps868 i think it's the argument of how much did his mental health affect his decision making and could he have just stopped at any time and be better. That's the only thing that's muddy.

[@khalilahd.]

Never been a big Star Wars fan but it seems to be so loved

[@J.T.G.]

It is

[@maybetomorrownewmaker]

yeah it's kind of something you have to get into as a kid, I'd imagine it's not easy for an adult to see past all the ridiculousness and laser sword fighting, but when you do, it's a super rich universe that's really fun to explore

[@matthacker3481]

[@cocotandon7115]

I worship star wars

[@cmel7841]

For anyone like me that avoided the animated shows cuz...reasons. WATCH THEM, they are amazing. Rebels storytelling is some of the best in all of Star Wars. I am working my way through Clone Wars now and it's also very good but Rebels takes you on a ride

[@td-1105]

Clone Wars season 7 has some of the best star wars ever

[@jag5014]

I wish they would edit them into a series of films because although I'm a big fan of the live action films, I'm not die hard enough to sit through so much content, especially when animated shows aren't my preference.

How did Kevin not make them let him talk about Kit Fisto, the Jedi with the best name in the entire franchise? Maybe it's because he knew he wouldn't have been able to stop laughing.

[@corbananderson7060]

Forgot to talk about how much of a badass Darth Sidious is with a lightsaber. Four Jedi masters show up and he straight up slays three of them in about as many moves and then holds his own against Mace Windu

[@mikeytired7987]

These K Smith vids never get old.

[@donewhiskey]

Kylo, Dooku and Maul fight like warriors. I love everyone on this list (JJ is a Sith, Kevin), but those three stand out, for their real life combat training or experience. The way Kylo kick starts his saber is freaking awesome.

[@brianbresson2237]

Kevin. Give us the Bane Dynasty story movies. Bring in drew as a producer. Directed by John and it'd be the best star wars we've ever seen

[@Reaperherpderp]

My problem with Reva wasnt her being black or a female or her acting really (although it was a little over the top sometimes) it was with her story and how it was cut and interlaced with the overall story. The fan edit of the series made it much better, even though the writing of her and her scenes left much to be desired. 1. how does she survive a lightsaber stab to the cut and being left COMPLETELY ALONE on a planet 2. the horrible cut aways to her chasing a child in the middle of the night, during the finale when darth and obi wan are fighting
