Tim or Barrett explaining in detail why they don't like a thing..... Carboni: "Interesting. Disagree." 😂🤣😂

I wish more ppl did that tbh. Just say “yeah I disagree this is why” instead of “this is why you’re wrong”

I love carboni. The positivity and energy the brings to the plot of a movie I absolutely adore put a big ole smile on my face this Monday afternoon

Honestly, really like this episode more than the original review. This crew is fantastic for Star Wars and Carboni did a great job with plot.

[@SlayerGiant]

I always felt that review suffered for coming immediately after their Extra Life 24 hr. marathon and just wanted to get over it with how overly negative it ended up being. This felt refreshingly even keel! One of my fav rewatch in-reviews!

Not the biggest Star Wars fan so I wasn’t going to watch this one. But I saw the runtime and thought, wait is Anthony Carboni on this one. And now here I am

[@Netsuj151]

The store Sam's Club used to play movies on some display TVs they wanted to sell right at the entrance, and I remember walking into there one time after the DVD release of this and seeing a few kids crying in fear because the Anakin burning scene was playing. Great memory

[@leevus_t8357]

This has been my most anticipated KF podcast. Love this group.

[@AlexValadez]

oh man, I never knew about the Padme pulling a knife on Anakin scene. That would had made the entire ending more impactful and memorable. Memorable in a good way I mean.

"Could I have bene a better dad? SHUT UP." Carboni is the best. lol

Been watching Smosh regularly since September, so seeing Saige working with Kinda Funny is awesome to see!

Mace Windu and Sam Jackson do not suck.

[@k1lladragons718]

They don’t even mention how after it cuts away from R2 on the Invisible Hand and then back you see another like 20 dead droids that he takes out off screen. Like R2 went hard as hell.

[@fedwyn]

He's literally buried in a pile of dead droids after a cut. R2 was true badass there

[@PurLeafTeaCo]

Barret's love of Star Wars is beautiful. This re-watch was fantastic. I re-watched the entire prequal trilogy in time with this so this hit super hard. Thanks KF for this series.

[@sidal714]

Honestly redo Star Wars in Review with this crew.

[@bennetthasty7886]

Hello there!

[@nicktoons125]

Anakin finding out Padmé is pregnant is one of the best scenes in the movie/franchise, like what! Hayden with very few lines, manages to run the gambit of shock, fear, happiness, and then back to fear again. That's a lot to display in only a couple seconds. It's the perfect reaction to such gigantic news.

[@TheDeAngeloo]

I've found the 4.5 hour cut and all i can say is wow. as a person who has never seen any animated starwars it so crazy to see some of those interactions. Tim nailed it too., 45 mins in is the first live action part of the cut and it feels just as cartoony if not more cartoony. thanks Barret for talking about this so much. I'm having a blast watching it

[@jorgearcienega9203]

You are now the Obi- lads-Kenobi...more Saige in kinda funny please!!!!

[@reflectionist]

Okay - what if every time Carboni got disconnected and reconnected, he dropped one of those sweet "respawn" lines from Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga? He reconnects - "My powers have DOUBLED since the last time I was here!" "I got voted back in!"

[@reflectionist]

Took me a couple of days, but I made it through this entire video. :-D Man, you guys are awesome.

[@mjspresents]

Ok two things: 1. Mace Windu is bad??? Wtf? Strongly disagree lol. I think you guys have that actor recognition problem, where because the actor does generally play themselves to an extent, that's all you see. People have that problem with Keanu Reeves, they say Bill and Ted jokes all over the Matrix but never want to talk about Devil's Advocate. 2. Palatine doesn't need to put visions in Anakin's head. That's just Anakin seeing the future of his own choices. He's so powerful he can see the future, it's described in Phantom Menace that he can predict outcomes and despite his arrogance he figures a lot of things out on his own in Attack of the Clones. What's happening to Anakin in this movie is the same with Luke and Yoda-- Luke detects the suffering of his friends, and that motivates him to act. Both Luke and Anakin reject the advice given by their masters. It is said multiple times in the prequels, 'the dark side of the force shrouds everything.' Palpy is manipulating everyone with his mind, but also using the Force to sense who is vulnerable to his manipulation. And he has access to all the security interfaces everywhere, he has spies everywhere.

[@jordancrossgrove8827]

So as for Palpatine knowing about Padme in the opera scene, in the OT we saw first hand the sith both being able to read Luke’s thoughts. Vader literally learned about his daughter by reading his son’s mind. Anakin was surely thinking of the whole Padme situation constantly, even if it’s just in the back of his mind in the moment, it’s on his mind in a heavy way. Sidious could easily read his mind the same way Vader was able to in ROTJ. That’s always how I took it at least

[@DanClancyPatterson98]

Unexpected but appreciated! Almost 3 hours!

[@jmartman13]

This is where the fun begins!!

[@TopCheeseBarDown]

What no one brings up with the "high ground" scene is: why did Anakin have to jump right there? Clearly he had some sort of control of the platform he was standing on, why not just move it a little bit left or right down the lava, and jump off there... it's utterly ridiculous non-sense.

[@ccam7802]

why did he reply , "you underestimate my power!" then proceed to flip over obi wan instead of doing the more sensible thing? because he's arrogant with his new dark side powers and feels obi wan isnt a match for him. thought it was pretty obvious myself but ohwell

[@KBABZ]

9:20 Barret's correct! I remember the Gamespot review of Lego Star Wars also going into how much of the movie the Episode III portion of that game spoils the then-upcoming movie.

[@xizor1d]

1:30:38 nah, 100% wrong. Mace was the only militant one in the Jedi council that they showed. While everyone else seemed aloof, Mace felt like the only person who realized their was a war going on.

[@reflectionist]

"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth."

[@jordancrossgrove8827]

So about the part where Anakin says to Palpatine “his fate will be the same as ours..” it’s kinda some foreshadowing because in the end, all three of those characters end up dying on (a) Death Star.

[@nickevans5598]

Very excited about this!!! Btw Andrea did the plot for GoT in review, idk if that counts as a guest doing the plot though...

[@captainpackage7]

[@AstroFan428]

My Star Wars blood is pumping for the first time since Mando 2 ended. I was starting the Brotherhood audio book, but stopped to watch this first. 😂

[@reflectionist]

1:06:10 -- You're making a VERY good point, here - and bless their hearts, all of that stuff is in the deleted scenes. There's a whole B plot with Padme, Bail Organa, and Mon Mothma that ultimately leads to founding the Rebel Alliance (after exhausting diplomatic means to get Palpatine to peacefully rescind his emergency powers to no avail). And like Jimmy Smits, the actress who plays Mon Mothma in these deleted scenes is also the same actress that played her in Rogue One, Genevieve O'Reilly.

[@Mankysausage]

3 hours? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

[@Matirn]

New in review suggestion: it would be cool if you took a pass through the post x-men super movies you missed cause they weren’t attached to universe sagas. Stuff like the Ben Affeck Daredevil, Electra, the two punisher movies, Ang Lee’s hulk and green lantern. Probably some often ones I missed in there

[@pandaskater1028able]

Carboni is everything

[@daimonclarke]

I remember being 4 in the theatre seeing Phantom Menace and having to leave because the noise was making my brother cry. My grandpa was the asshole who brings a 2 year old haha. I love the prequels.

[@Z51K1NG07]

The 4.5 Hour "Siege of Mandalore Cut" includes the Live Action deleted scenes where the other half of Padme's scenes are included shows Palpatine telling Anakin that the Jedi are trying to overtake the Republic because they are hypocrites and Padme seeing that things might not turn back to normal after war. So it shows how Anakin is conflicted in all directions.

[@niconicovalencia]

@2:04:29 It gives you FOCUS!! You’re welcome. 🤣

[@MrGeoff-iv6re]

1:54:20 Guys! Guys! Clearly Obi-Wan had his astromech droid fly his ship away to fool the separatists on Utapau! Remember, droids fly ships by themselves all the time in Star Wars lol.

[@zdgro]

Saige with the hard truths about mace windu

[@Threll_Ignis]

I always figured Palpatine's disfigurement was his own lightning burning away the illusion that hid Palpatine's Dark Side corruption.

[@illadelph42]

Ok since y’all didn’t address it I gotta say it. The thing that sucks the most about the “high ground” spot is that in Episode 1 Maul had the “high ground” on Kenobi and that didn’t matter at all. I stand by if it was the other way around it would have made more sense…there’s tons of ways to make that moment more poetic.

[@ChildlikeMan]

There're a lot of aliens in Star Wars, so....Predator in Review?

[@toddalexander5015]

Where can I find this 4 hr mega edit?!

[@ratchetman1193]

Can someone tell me where to find the 4-hour fan cut they were talking about?

[@auberginedreams00]

This is honestly my 2nd favorite Star Wars after Empire.

[@dekamaster100]

Of course it’s 3 hours! And it’s of a rewatch 😂

[@cadvan6]

I really like this movie, despite all its flaws. Ideally I’d want it remade (or I guess done better originally) because there is so much rich substance they could’ve explored in the plot. And they do touch on it… in typical prequel fashion… which is the issue. The foundation of the plot and the beats it needs to cover - the fall of anakin and the rise of Vader and the subsequent rise of the empire - betrayal, genocide etc etc. soo much good stuff in there. Should’ve stuck with the original long ass cut rather than cramming it all in. I’d like to say it would’ve happened that way were it done now… but rise of skywalker felt crammed and stitched together too soooo. Revenge of the sith is still super high on my list though. Edit: Also that tie in game was legit. Played the shit out of it. And Lego Star Wars around the same time. Man, what a great time that was - takes me back.

[@pgdunphy]

Great job with the plot Mr Carboni. I'm out here in NYC repping SW hard and its a battle

[@mjspresents]

Hm 153:00-- we've seen the R2 units have shoots in all the ships. I assumed he dropped thru the trap door under the ship and hid while his R2 unit flew the ship away.

[@aarons.2323]

What kind of weird hipster friends did Carboni have in 2005 that wouldn't want to go see Star Wars with him? No matter anyone's thoughts on the previous two movies, Star Wars fatigue wasn't a thing and I can remember the hype for this was pretty high. It seemed like every three years people forgot the quality of the movie before it and were excited for something new. That said, I saw this with my mom because she was the one that watched Star Wars movies with me as a kid, and I was in my early 20s when this came out. I felt like it was going to be the last one (haha. Whoops!) and wanted to see it with her. We also saw it on my birthday that first weekend, so there was all sorts of things tied to why we went together. It's funny because we really enjoyed it, but out of the pre-Disney movies this is the one I've watched the least amount. Maybe just three times. It's pretty weird.

[@TrimblyWimbly]

Barrett! I remember doing that with Attack of the Clones! I read the book before seeing the movie in theaters and I think the book is way better lol.

[@CoNiCuZn]

I think Barrett was thinking about the original Lego Star Wars game. It came out a little bit before Episode 3 and it was just vague enough with the characters not being able to talk that it didn’t completely spoil the movie lol

[@kindafunny]

Nah I was thinking about the tie in game. Never played the LEGO games when I was younger. Episode 3 the game came out 2 weeks before the movie. - Barrett

[@brandanbaker4563]

Which episode of Kenobi do we think they are gonna drop the 'Hello There'?

[@reflectionist]

35:11 - I do remember seeing General Grievous kill Master Shaak Ti in a deleted scene with unfinished vfx in the Special Features, and it *is* pretty sudden and kind of shocking, I'm personally glad that they took it out, even if it was only cut for time. At the beginning of this video, It almost sounded like you guys have been sleeping on the Episode 3 novelization written by Matthew Stover. That's a MISTAKE, boys and girls - and a grave one at that.

[@carlosarias5092]

Does anyone know where I can watch that 4 hour cut??

[@reflectionist]

1:48:55 - I really don't think that the movies were trying to imply any kind of love triangle - I think having an actual love triangle is an incredibly ridiculous idea. What I do like is the idea that Anakin is suspicious of Obi-Wan's intentions, as if he's trying to slide into Padme's DMs himself. The book talks about how he feels the echoes of their presence. He picks up on an emotion - secretive, fearful, rebellious, distrustful - but right before he comes to any kind of conclusion about Obi-Wan and Padme, he smells a lingering scent from the food that had been recently served. And that throws a wrench into his suspicions because neither of those two people would ever eat that particular soup. He straight up says that Padme hated it, and that Obi-Wan was allergic to it (funny memory of how they found that out). They weren't alone, but they weren't cool and relaxed. It's not until much later that Anakin realizes that he was standing amid the conception of his downfall, that it was treason he sensed, the birth of the Rebel Alliance. And he was thinking about himself.

[@ShaolinPrince718]

I watch the same fan edit that Barrett is talking about. it's fucking phenomenal

[@scottmf]

Any idea where I can find it?

[@PeteTemplar101]

Did Palpatine know Padme was pregnant? I don't think it's ever stated, even in the amazing novelization, that he knows she's pregnant. But he DOES know they're married, he can still prey on that connection.

[@supermitchell]

Anyone got a link for the super cut they watched?

[@another.mikemang9335]

Ok so Serious question, why not try to corrupt the padawans to the darkside? Like I get how they made inquisitors from fallen order, but these young impressionable padawans could have saved them some steps right? Was it because they couldn't be corrupted or cus it would be to much work? Genuinely asking cus I've always wondered about this.

[@altairian8]

I would venture a guess that it was more about eradicating anything that has to do with the jedi than the amount of work it would have taken to accomplish that. These are people motivated by anger, fear, and hatred.

[@jewsco]

In the clone wars the animated series Palpatine is putting these dreams into Anakin using dark force magic over cauldrons

[@FSorrentino182]

how do we watch the 4 hour cut they keep referencing.

[@reflectionist]

It's like plot armor, except it's plot game. Because one day, Jake Lloyd looked around the room and said, "Don't you guys think it's a little bit weird that literally everybody in this room knows that I'm NINE YEARS OLD and that I'm going to bone seven shades of shit out of Natalie Portman in Episode 2? I've got this shit in the BAG, I don't even have to level Charisma or Speechcraft or anything. It's fate, this shit's a done deal."

[@XadeChronos]

Just started the video and if watto doesn't show up I will be upset.

[@iceman333933]

I read the Matthew Stover novelization prior to the release of the movie and that is my memory of this movie. It holds a special place in my heart

[@TheNinjacanadian]

From what I remember Natalie Portman had a lot of drama making EP 3 that was one the big reason George Lucas side lined her

[@reflectionist]

I need a deleted scene for this like a particular scene in Super Troopers, with hese morons in the back of this cop car that are high as shit. Except that one is a CLONE from Kamino, the other is a BATTLE DROID from Geonosis. There's some gunshots in the bar, and the door bursts open. It's none other than Palpatine himself. Darth Sidious, in the flesh. He cackles, runs down, gets in the cop car, stars screaming and cackling, looks at the idiots in the back and goes, 'YEE-HEE! YOU BOYS LIKE EXEGOL?" For reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZuxg6euettma5I

[@reflectionist]

Holy freaking fuck, I am so ashamed of myself right now. I was thinking about that line in the crawl, "There are heroes on both sides," because that's a triple take. It's either inappropriately poetic, pedantically semantic, or the Nuremburg defense - because even if the Neimoidians and Geonosians and Banking Clan and the fucking Techno Union were all strong armed into doing the shit and lied to about why, they were still doing bad shit, right?

[@KobytheHero]

People always give this movie a pass, but honestly it still isn’t very good. I appreciate the prequels, and love a lot of stuff that came out of them, but they are all bad and this isn’t the magical exception many claim it to be.

I watched the same 4 hour cut that Barrett did (includes ROTS, 2D Clone Wars, and Siege of Mandalore). It wasn’t perfect by any means, but it was very interesting to see all the events coincide. I’d recommend checking out a version without the 2D Clone Wars spliced in. ROTS and Siege of Mandalore feel tonally similar and match pretty well, so that’s a version I’d probably prefer on a rewatch
