@@carrotcakeisbombasf103 He was great in Shattered Glass. Sure, he whined a bit in that too, but it was necessary to be true to the (factual) character. He's not a bad actor.

I'm sorry, but Hayden's delivery of the murder confession after his mom's death has always given me chills. Whatever flaws in his acting, that moment was spot on, and it's still haunting.

[@TheReasonableLiberal-hn2rs]

I never saw anything was wrong with him. Yeah people expect vader to be this tough guy but even he was just a child at first. The emotional way Hayden is was perfect because Anakin never learned to control his emotions. The Jedi deny their feelings so without someone like Qui-gon to help he never really mature. He was meant to act like an emo.

[@agentooe33AD]

@@TheReasonableLiberal-hn2rs For me, his portrayal wasn't the issue, it was the transition from Episode 1 to Episode 2 didn't have enough context for me to believe his susceptibility. Even though I already knew he turns into Darth Vader, I thought his descent wasn't done well. But I blame the writing and direction more than anything. Just like I didn't buy the romance between Anakin and Padme. To me there was no chemistry there at all.

[@fkw1239]

The voice that said “Anakin! Noooo!” when Yoda was sensing Anakin’s rampage, was Qui-Gon’s voice.

[@MLJ7956]

Yoda heard Qui-Gon (and it is implied in Episode III, Yoda has been been communing with him for some time through the force).

[@SandmanGotBeer]

@Maxwell Long At that time, Noone was attuned enough to hear from the Netherworld of the Force, except Yoda, which he didn't even know at the time that he could. Qui-Gon was watching and spoke out. Yoda was the only one who could hear it. Yoda learns later what that was and why he could do it, which is how he is able to carry on after death. For further info, watch the Clone Wars.

[@MLJ7956]

@Maxwell Long - Anakin couldn't hear Qui-Gon because he was starting to slip into the dark side of the force (and Qui-Gon was one with the light side of the force) plus Anakin's own anger, fear, aggression, rage, strong negative emotions kept him from hearing also....

[@mathismollette2498]

"How come Jedi can't have love or attachment?" It makes them have alternative motives and act on emotion.

He was a slave, treated as a slave, even if he was a child, and lived on a harsh and unforgiving planet, every day could be his last, even if he didn't realize it at times, he's very lucky to have escaped, but most slaves aren't nearly as fortunate.

that it is. not generic bad guy music at all, as one commenter said, but the full realization that the republic BECOMES the empire. it's why, I think, when the imperial march starts playing, (in c minor at first,) there are "stately/fanfare-ish" riffs in the brass at first, then it shortly modulates to e minor, with the accompaniment parts from the latter part of it as heard in the credits to Empire strikes back (as well as in the soundtrack version of the imperial march proper.)

In simple terms yes but once you look more into the Separatists (CIS) you realise that it's a formation of many different families, planets, species and corporations who make up the CIS which is why they have the most unique and diverse looking weapons, ships, vehicles, and droids there isn't one single style as these range from all types of cultures and designers. The Republic on the other hand is far more Formal with each ship and vehicle having the same design styles and artistic all very uniform. The later years of the Clone Wars when the CIS started sending out contracts to create their own ships and vehicles these became much more simpler in deigns. The Rebels are the same all they take as many ships and vehicles as they can from anyone which creates an amazing mess of styles.

When you asked why Jedi can't love or be attached, The Tusken Raider scene answered that. Jedi aren't allowed to be attached because of the emotions it can cause. If someone hurt someone you loved, you'd be angry, maybe hateful and, in a Jedi, that can take control and turn them to the Dark SIde, making them, generally, greedy and self-centered where they are out for themselves to the detriment of anyone against them. I say "generally" because it's not always the case that the Dark Side corrupts to that degree. In the old expanded universe, specifically some of the later novels, there are a few times where a Dark Sider was generally a decent person.

[@WarWolfeX]

It is funny the more extended universe one reads especially the Bane trilogy you realize the holes in the Jedi philosophy. Not loving and having attachments as a way to protect from the dark side is flawed. Many times the very act of deprivation is what has lead many yo choose the dark side. The Jedi are also elf righteous and claim to not want power, but everything they do is to contrary. It is all interesting.

[@pelicanofpunishment6]

@@WarWolfeX Oh, absolutely. In fact, it's what i think made Luke's Jedi Order so interesting. Suddenly, the Jedi were allowed to love, get married, have kids, and all the attachments and negative emotions that came with it. And I feel they better understood the people they helped as a result in certain situations. It wasn't just "Revenge for them killing your spouse is wrong." It was "Revenge is understandable as a desire, but still wrong and here's why." Though when Mara was killed by jacen and Luke assumed it was Lumiya, he went out and killed her for revenge. With the Council's blessing. Very much more nuanced and interesting.

Okay recap with no spoilers here: - The Sith aka the "Darths" (opposites of the Jedi) were thought to be extinct for over a thousand years, long after they tried to conquer the Republic. But every now and then they'd reappear in twos (master and apprentice) as we saw in episode one with Darth Sidious and Darth Maul (RIP in half). - Darth Sidious has been planning something big in the shadows somewhere for decades. - Someone unknown secretly ordered a clone army to be made for the Republic about 10 years prior, apparently a now dead Jedi, and deleted the clone planet from the Jedi archives. - The clones were cloned from Jango Fet ("father" of Boba Fet) a great Mandalorian warrior & bounty hunter. He was also paid to kill Padme by the Viceroy out of vengeance. - Dooku aka Darth Tyranis was a Jedi but went rogue and joined the dark side because he thinks the Jedi order is hypocritical, the Republic corrupt and doesn't get anything done. Like when Naboo was under siege by the Trade Federation (Viceroy) in episode one and the Republic would take years to get anything done about it. - Major corporations, like bankers and the Trade Federation lead the Separatists who make battle droid armies, because like Dooku, they think the Republic is corrupt and they want their freedom to run their enterprises like little (business) empires. - The senate of the Republic would have taken years to maybe approve of a clone army, but the Chancelor luckily was voted emergency supreme power (think ancient Rome) to get things done. He now controls this new army of the Republic to fight the Separatists who want to tear the Republic apart (the Clone Wars)

Answers to your questions! (spoiler-free): - Padmé is four-and-a-half-ish years older than Anakin. - Death sticks are vials of a hallucinogenic drug called ixetal cilona. - Owen and Beru are Luke’s aunt and uncle; Anakin’s step-brother and step-sister-in-law. - Yep, that’s Christopher Lee, the actor of both Saruman and Dooku. Your Isengard comparison was on-point. :D - The Jedi 10 years ago who commissioned the clone army had a vision through the Force that it would be needed. His name was Master Sifo-Dyas. But how could he do this on his own without the Jedi knowing? Where did he get the money? Did he erase the Kamino file from the Jedi archives? Could this be related to Tyranus, the man who commissioned Jango to be the clone donor? But why would Jango then join Dooku against the clones he helped make? And who is Tyranus? This is confusing because it’s meant to be a mystery. - The reason Dooku would both carry out the bidding of his master, Darth Sidious, while at the same time conspire against him, is in the Sith’s nature. This is why there are only ever two Sith at a time; one to hold power and the other to covet and eventually take it, the Sith thereby getting stronger with each successive generation. In the past, the Jedi were able to defeat the Sith time and again because there were many Sith, and the Sith frequently fought amongst themselves for power as much as their actual enemies, while the Jedi remained united. - The politics of the situation were that the Separatists-planets led by Dooku-view the Republic as corrupt and wish to secede. Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padmé are two Jedi and a senator on the side of the Republic trespassing on a Separatist planet and accused of espionage. Dooku trying to get Obi-Wan to join him was just a last-second bid for more power. - The Jedi are always hard to hit with blasters. They use the Force to anticipate incoming shots and use their lightsabers to deflect or even reflect them back at their shooters. It’s not perfect though, and many Jedi were simply overwhelmed and killed in this battle. - I won’t give spoilers, but Imperial stormtroopers and Republic clone troopers are different people, yes. Their armor is similar for a reason, though. - Yep, the clones all look and sound like Jango. They’re all played by Temuera Morrison, who also re-voiced over Boba in the original trilogy you already watched. You might recognize his voice if you rewatch Empire Strikes Back. - The senators aren’t the bad guys in that last scene. Chancellor Palpatine was even attended by Bail Organa, Leia’s father from the original trilogy. Those were the good guys overlooking their good guy army, the army that will be led by the Jedi against Dooku’s droid army. It was just playing bad guy music and treated as a threatening thing because of what Yoda said. Good guys or bad guys, war has begun, and that’s the last thing the Jedi want. The Jedi are peacekeepers, so them having to lead an army in a war against a former Jedi is why Yoda doesn’t see it as a victory. War itself is of the dark side, no matter who’s fighting in it. - It was a secret wedding. (And yeah, their love story is a bit rushed, you’re not alone in feeling like that.) - TL;DR about who the bad guys are: Nobody knows. The Jedi are just as confused as you are. A former Jedi-Dooku-has started a war against the Republic, but a dead Jedi named Sifo-Dyas commissioned an army for the Jedi to fight that war with, ten years before it started, and the guy who the clones are based on was sided with Dooku. Dooku claims the Republic is being controlled by Darth Sidious, Jango said he was commissioned by a man named Tyranus, the Jedi don’t recognize either of those names, and Sifo-Dyas died shortly after commissioning the army for some reason. It’s all very confusing and mysterious on purpose. Now the Jedi are stuck in a war against their former ally with troops they didn’t ask for, and they don’t know how to feel about that. - There is also one piece of information that you probably should know that would help things all fit together, but you don’t, and your fans aren’t telling you, so I’m just going to let it sit until you discover it for yourself. It’s not hidden, you just have to pay close attention. :) - Also, the next movie will flat-out tell you, and you may be the first person I’ve ever heard of to go into it not knowing this info already, so that reaction is something I will look forward to! - Edit: I forgot that one of the mysteries is revealed in the movie itself. Dooku is Tyranus. Darth Tyranus. Dooku aided Sifo-Dyas in making the clone army, possibly paying for it (he is a count). So, at the bidding of his master, Darth Sidious, Dooku commissioned a clone army based on Jango Fett ten whole years before they would be needed to fight in a war against himself. Dooku started the Clone Wars for the Clone Wars’ own sake, and the Jedi are wholly unaware of this.

One of the things that is cool about watching your reactions is that you ask actual Critical Reading questions as you go.

Back when the movies were coming out, the rest of us had promo material, actor/director interviews dropping all kinds of hints, and even books that expanded on things that only get a single line of explanation in the films. As as a result, we knew all sorts of things about the jedi, the sith, and even the different planets before we even sat our butts down in the theater. So all I can say is, "Well done!"

I've been watching movies in the theater for roughly 40 years (my earliest memory of one is E.T. in 1982, I was just a toddler). I say without hyperbole that I have never, EVER heard an audience screaming with such joy than when Yoda started fighting Dooku with his lightsaber. I mean you literally couldn't even hear the movie, it was like being in a stadium full of fans who were applauding a beloved athlete after they'd just played their final game. It was the midnight premiere, the theater was packed (literally no open seats) and everyone just became absolutely unglued. It gives me goosebumps even thinking about it. The only thing that bothers me is that in anticipation of wanting to "experience" the film again I brought in a tape recorder to record the sound of the film and listen to it again once I got home but the tape stopped halfway through the movie without me knowing. I would love to go back and listen to the sheer wave of sound that was the reaction to the Yoda fight again, and share it for everyone else. That's the power of a community like Star Wars fans coming together on premiere night and sharing in the experience of taking in the joy of something wonderful. Attack of the Clones is far from perfect - yes, the "romance" segments just suck and suck hard - but that's only like half the movie, there's a lot more going on and in my opinion pretty much all of it (that other stuff, I mean) is really interesting and entertaining. I found this movie to be a massive step up from The Phantom Menace, which I still hate (and yes, I've gone back and watched it again to see if my theatrical opinion changed, which it didn't). Nowadays a lot of people consider AotC to be the worst Star Wars film ever made and I just can't wrap my mind around that. I saw all of these movies at the theater, I remember the reactions. The exuberant childlike excitement for this one was not even in the same universe (no pun intended) as the crickets and heckling that were thrown at The Phantom Menace.

There’s something I read years ago and I’ve never looked at the prequels the same since. It’s the theory that Jar Jar is actually a sith, kinda meant to be the opposite of Yoda if I remember correctly. Everything he does is meant to make him look clumsy and everything helpful that he does looks like an accident, that way people don’t discover his true power and intentions. He somehow manages to survive everything that they go through despite appearing to be helpless. He became a part of the senate and help give Palpatine power. With how much he waves his arms around he could be disguising his use of force mind tricks. Think of him as if he’s using the fighting style of drunken boxing, meant to look uncoordinated and clumsy while masking his true capabilities. I believe there was a bit more details and stuff involved in the original theory I read, and it’s pretty interesting to think about and imagine. Plus I think after this theory spread years ago that people have actually gotten some quotes from George Lucas that hint to the fact that it may actually be true. Or at least hint that Jar Jar isn’t exactly as he appears to be, and that he may be much more important than we think. Either way, I think theories like this are fun and interesting and it certainly makes you wonder.

Ani: jumps out of car from high altitude. Obi: “I hate it when he does that.” Also Obi: yeets himself out a window from a high altitude 3 minutes earlier. Clone troopers are NOT stormtroopers. Though they are the first step towards them. Stormtroopers were regular human recruits and conscripts. The clones are real humans. They just weren’t born the traditional way. And all except Boba have been altered in some ways. Attachment affects your emotions, can lead to selfishness, lead to rash decisions, to cases like Anakin Jat pack rocket, not helmet rocket Jango was just hired to have his DNA used for the army, he’s not allied with the Republic. Jango wants his son to carry on the Fett legacy Having Padme killed was Viceroy Gunray’s condition for joining Dooku. Dooku’s not trying to improve the Republic, he and other want to separate from it _Execution,_ not a battle. So no, they’re not gonna give them a chance. Yup, he can shoot lightning just like the Sidious/the future Emperor. And they’re NOT related to each other by blood. It’s just a dark side power. Yoda used the force to aid him in saber combat. No, those weren’t the bad guys, literally none of those guys were Separatists. The clones serve the Republic, so they’re good. As to the creation of the clone army, jedi Sifo Dyas did order it (in good faith) but he died before it was completed. Jango said he was recruited to be the clone template by a man called Tyranus. When Dooku meets up with Sidious, he greets him as Lord Tyranus. Dooku’s sith name is Darth Tyranus. The space soap opera had cliche overacted lines? Shocker. People clown on the romance for being weird and stupid and rushed and awkward, but like...that's the whole point. They shouldn't be doing this. Anakin acts exactly like a celibate teenage monk with no training in the ways of love would. And Padme is so focused on her work and public service that the hero of her people who dedicated HIS life to service would obviously attract her.

Exactly. If the stormtroopers were still the original clones based on Jango the bounty hunter they wouldn’t be so god awful at shooting. 😅

I can't wait for you to watch Episode 3, tears will fall when you see it.

[@raybarry4307]

Indeed. If you remember your response to the end of Ford VS Ferrari then bring Double the amount of tissues to episode lll

[@BareBandSubscription]

I, uh, kinda doubt that will happen.

[@optimusakc]

I enjoy episode 3 but no way does it have the calibur of acting or emotional payoff as Ford vs Ferrari.

[@BigMateo24]

Or laughs.

[@ciscoponch67]

The actor who played Count Dooku, is Christopher Lee. Saraman and Count Dracula! Van Helsing was played by Peter Cushing, Grand Moff Tarkin. 😊

“Bounty hunter, like Boba.” Me: Yes, you’ll find he’s very much like Boba…

[@slayguy86]

Basically Obi Wan is more of an older brother/friend to Anankin, when what he needs is a positive father figure, Qui Gon would have filled that role if he had lived.

Anakin was 9 in EP 1 Obi was 25

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

@@sgtjohnson Well, he was still too young to be his father. And guess who ended up filling that father figure void instead? 🤨

Accurate.

[@Progger11]

You're justified in not buying the love story and finding a lot of the dialog to be cheesy and cliché. George Lucas has always struggled with writing three-dimensional dialog. That's just how it is, unfortunately. But it's also true that Anakin's "love" for Padme is possessive. Due in large part to the Jedi Order forbidding him to have a healthy understanding of his emotions.

[@monsterlair]

It doesn't help that Lucas isn't good at coaxing good performances from his less experienced actors. Bad dialogue + bad directing = terrible love story.

[@TheRawrnstuff]

And a healthy dose of emotional and force-related manipulation by the dark lord of the sith, who has taken a keen interest in Anakin's career.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

IDK. In my opinion, it was flawlessly executed, since... even the ESB & ROTJ love scenes (and 'emotional' scenes) were super cheesy. :) People just (magically) give them free passes. No idea why. Probably because they like Harrison Ford TOO much. Not that he's unlikeable, but... they just gave *WAY* too much credit to Han & Leia. THEY'RE CHEESY. :D No big deal, but... yes... cheesy.

[@caomhan84]

When I first saw the movie back in 2002, I felt the same way as many people did that it was cheesy and unbelievable and annoying. When I rewatched the movies around 15 years later, obviously much older, I found that I sympathized with Anakin more. I mean he's still annoying, But he's basically a kid experiencing love for the first time and he doesn't know how best to express himself or deal with his emotions. So it's understandable. Even though it's probably more to do with Lucas and bad dialogue, I understand it.

[@hanburgundy4317]

@@Novastar.SaberCombat Exactly. "My hands are dirty." "My hands are dirty, too". Tell me that's any better than Anakin's sand dialogue lmao

[@heavyvacation9826]

You are so insightful it's great~! I love watching you watch! You are full of good reaction without being a "loose cannon" and a comedic silly like some other reactioneers! And you were keeping up with this one (Which IMO is the least of all the movies) with insights I didn't have at 35 years old.
