Episode 1 Anakin was 9 and Padme was 14, so ten years later 19 and 24, only a 5 year difference

[@Renoistic]

It's not the age difference that's weird. It's that they met when he was 9 and she was already an active queen. They haven't seen each other in a long time, but I know I would be weirded out if someone I only remembered as a 9-year-old started hitting on me lol

[@Novacification]

​@@Renoistic sure, but they knew each other for maybe a week 10 years ago. It makes sense for him to have a crush on a girl older than him and carry that with him through his jedi training. And it's natural that she would fairly quickly update her old impression of him with a new one of the person she is now interacting with.

[@tigqc]

So basically a grad student getting it on with a college sophomore lol.

[@GoUtes92]

The older people get, the less the difference of age is a thing.

Boba, Jango's clone "son", is the same person who captured Han Solo and took him to Jabba the Hutt when Han was frozen in that brick in the Empire Strikes Back

[@user-yr3hu1ug7r]

Some key points to remember.... Anakin and his mother were slaves. Anakin spent most of his childhood as a slave and not treated well at all. He felt powerless and was property, not a person. His mother was his only refuge and they cared deeply for each other. When Anakin is discovered by Qui Gon Ginn, he must leave his mother behind to become a Jedi (something he dreamed about becoming). He made his mother a promise that he would see her again and free her. He was not able to keep that promise since he was "owned" by the Jedi. When he confided in the Jedi Masters and Obi Won, they told him that "dreams pass in time".... basically just pretend those dreams are not real (they were real and they were force visions). So Anakin loses his mom to the Tusken Raiders (sand people) and he is reminded how Obi Won told him to not pay attention to the visions. Anakin spending most of his childhood as a slave obviously doesn't provide him with an education or exposure to other governments/cultures. So Anakin has never seen a democratic society. He was raised by tyrants and that is the only way of governing people that he knows. The Jedi Council and Obi Won did not want to train Anakin. They rejected him out of fear. Qui Gon Ginn was the reason for Anakin becoming a Jedi...because it was his dying wish and deep belief in him. So the Jedi have basically trained Anakin with "training wheels" because they haven't really dealt with someone so gifted at such a young age, and he also started training later so he already has human emotions and a horrible childhood of abuse and slavery. So...they are taking their time training him and he is very talented and picks up training quickly, but he still has to learn how to do some of the "basic" Jedi things like controlling his emotions and learning to separate from the world/not be attached. Anakin already has two powerful attachments with Padme and his mother. This has caused conflict within Anakin and sometimes spills outward. Obi Won wasn't a Jedi Knight yet when his Master Qui Gon was killed. He was probably pretty close to facing the trails to move out of Padawan status...but him taking on an apprentice at his young age was not common practice. Most Masters had time to develop as a Jedi before taking on a Padawan...so he is "learning as he goes" with Anakin. And if you remember.... Obi Won was against training Anakin and even called him "dangerous". After the death of his mother, Anakin feels rage/sadness and feels he failed his mother. He was not able to fulfill his promise of becoming a Jedi and coming back to save her from slavery or her death. He takes that anger and creates resentment against Obi Won and the Jedi Council for not taking his visions seriously enough and not allowing him to investigate them. He also blames them for "holding him back" (slowing his training) and believes the Jedi do not accept/trust him fully and are keeping wisdom/knowledge/techniques from him. He then makes a new promise to his dead mother that he will become stronger, more powerful, and never fail at protecting and saving those he loves. Anakin and Padme are very much into one another and the age difference is like 5-6 years. So Anakin is deeply in love with Padme but must live a double life because his relationship would get him removed from the Jedi Order. So this relationship conflicts with his own goal of becoming the most powerful Jedi and leaves him open to emotional stress and manipulation/exploitation from those that would use that relationship against him.

[@porkypile]

The Jedi order? Nah, the Aspie order. Bunch of idiots with 0 knowledge of human psychology.

[@craigmorris4083]

When they first met, she was 14, he was nine. In this movie that makes her 24 and him 19.

[@cwell510]

Not sure if you two picked up on it but, Jango Fett's clone son Boba was the bounty hunter in The Empire Strikes Back that takes the frozen Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt.

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

The relationship between Anakin and Padme has more sense with the deleted scenes from the original footage. If you can take a look at these deleted scenes, you will like it even more. It´s a great chemistry.

[@mikenadj.j4355]

The subtext is still there but the deleted scenes would’ve made Padmé’s arc more obvious for first time viewers.

[@RobertJ-vo4bk]

Great chemistry? You're definitely a virgin if you think that's great chemistry.

[@richlisola1]

It always irked me that Cordey, Padme’s decoy’s last words were, “I failed you Senator.” She literally did her job. Flawlessly-She faked out the the assassin, the bombing failed to kill the target. In no way she did she fail.

[@lenny536]

He’s 19 she’s 24

[@doboi8121]

When this movie came out and yoda was flipping around the theater went crazy

[@starfox5000]

Stormtroopers and Clone Troopers are not the same. After the Clone Wars there was a transition from clones to enlisted men from around the Galaxy

[@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc]

You should keep in mind that the prequel trilogy has two central plots: how the Republic degenerated and became an Empire, and how Anakin was seduced by the dark side and transformed into Darth Vader. Although the clones are not actually the stormtroopers from the original trilogy, their uniforms and insignia are the same. So you two are not wrong to think there is a connection between both armies. Let's say they are signs of the beginning of the end of the Republic.

[@MusaFinderi]

Patience, young Padawans. Clone Wars series expands greatly on this movie and Anakin/Padme's relationship, and most of all it's not cringey.

[@seasickviking]

FUN FACT: Grandmaster Yoda has such a tight control of the Force that he literally augments his body to be stronger and faster every time he fights. The hobbling you see with the cane is what he moves like naturally, but his level of control over the Force is so absolute that he can be as flexible as he needs to be. He can indeed use the Force lightning, Force Choke as well as other tricks that most Jedi nor Sith wouldn't even know about, but rarely uses them due to his personal commitment to nonviolence. He has, on occasion, even proven to be strong enough to literally yank entire ships out of hyperspace, but only did so once he realized it was all droids (as such moves would instantly kill humans). He lives by the same rules as Mr Miyagi from the Karate Kid (Karate is for defense only).

[@nathancruz9172]

Exactly

[@Novacification]

To me it's a nice subtle way to show the wisdom he possesses, that he only uses the force to aid his mobility when necessary. He does not try to escape or hide the natural effects of age, even though he has the power to do so, nor does he need to showcase his considerable strength out of ego or vanity.

[@josephparker4022]

Yoda never uses the Sith power of force lightning. He may reflect it or absorb it, but that's it. Don't be confused by certain other inaccurate portrayals that never happened. 😉

[@KurticeYZ]

The force can be used to manipulate the body. Yoda needs the cane but can still move like he used to due to his ability to weild the force

[@KarlKraus1]

The farm that Anakin and Padme visit is the same one where Luke was raised on, with his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, who aren't married yet, like Owen said The man in the hoverchair is Cliegg Lars, Owen's father and therefore Anakin's stepfather and Luke's step-grandfather He died before the original trilogy events

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

You both crack me up. This was by far the funniest SW reaction from you both. Great energy. Virtual hug.

[@justinpitcock5312]

Yes, you have it right. After episode 3, you watch Rogue One and then you’ll probably want to watch 4-6 on your own again. Then in here you can do 7-9. There is also a Han Solo movie too, I liked it, some people don’t, but it’s a fun watch.

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

Boba, the small kid, unaltered clon and son of Jango Fett, it´s Boba Fett, the bounty hunter from eps V and VI.

[@CollideFan1]

The Jedi use the Force for defense not offense. Force Lightning is an offensive power that is mainly used by powerful Sith. The Jedi could use it if they wanted to but prefer not to. Offensive Force powers can corrupt you over time. Yoda is using the Force to help him move around so fast, he is 800+ years old after all.

[@tofersiefken]

Each trilogy raises as many questions as it puts to rest, more or less.

[@firecat4529]

The 2008 Clone Wars show also shows a lot more of Padme and Anakin's relationship.

[@King-if5kh]

There is episode 3 revenge of the sith and believe me it's the best of the prequel trilogy

[@vaderdraco6892]

anakin only knew Quigin jin for maybe 3 days

[@dirufanboy1971]

The "Lightening" is actually the Force channelled through the body. As it is an "Offensive" rather than "Defensive" use of the Force, Jedi do not use it.

[@Ciffer-1998]

tho they do have their own cheap copy of it

[@dpall38]

Just wanted to let you both know I really appreciate the Dr Evil pronunciation of MAGMA.

[@fidel2xl]

The age difference between Anakin and Padme is 5 years. In the first episode (Episode 1 - Phantom Menace) Anakin was 9 years old, and Padme was 14 years old. So, there isn't a huge age difference between them, especially now that they are both young adults. She's 24 years old in this movie, and he's 19 years old.

[@withorn2056]

Ladies ""Tales of the Jedi" will show you what happened to Kamino. Also there's a Senator in episode 2 that you missed that will play a very important part in Leia's life. He's the reason why she was living on Alderaan that the Empire blew up with the Death Star in episode 4. I think he was in episode 1 at Qui Gon's funeral as well? Qui Gon was Count Dooku's (Darth Tyrannus) apprentice as Count Dooku was Yoda's apprentice. And since Darth Maul was killed by Obi-Wan, Count Dooku became the Emperor's apprentice. The Clone Wars (animated tv series) will fill in some of the gaps (including the last episode that was released in 2020 that was mostly about Asoka) before episode 3 begins.

[@tofersiefken]

Perhaps the most impactful moment of the movie for Anakin's narrative was the way he lost his mother and how he "dealt" with it by committing genocide without regard to innocence, guilt, age, gender, or anything else.

[@shinrapresident7010]

''We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers'' The biggest lie ever told by the Jedi. Canonically in wartime, the Jedi are almost always given military ranks like General and allowed to command Republic troops. You see this in the second half of the movie where Yoda is allowed to give combat orders during the battle of Geonosis. The age difference between Ani and Padme isn't that big. Heck, I'm 10 years older than my wife, 34 and 24 with a 5 year old daughter.

[@shinrapresident7010]

To be exact. Padme is 3yrs and 8 months older than Anakin. Padme was 13 when elected as queen. The naboo crisis started about 7 months into her rein. After episode 3 you guys really should start the Star Wars The Clone Wars show. Thanks for the content ladies.

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

31:38, Know that the reason Count Dooku left the Jedi order was almost similar to Anakin's..He couldn't save his people as a Jedi, so he turned to the dark side to do what he felt was necessary. And the Actor playing him, Christopher Lee, was a real life fencing european and olympic champion before he became an actor. Can't wait till ya see the finale (And get all your answers) in part 3! By the way, the Clone Wars will go on for 5 years)

Don't let people put you off the Disney films. Rogue One is one of the best Star Wars movies period. I liked the Han Solo movie and even episodes 7, 8, and 9 had things people liked. Watch and decide for yourself.

[@antoinettelopes]

As one of the generation who watched these in the theater as they were released it would never have dawned on me that newbies watching it in release order would still have questions. But we talked about the OT for years and knew who all these characters were before they even cast the actors. I think I've known the Emperor's full name for 40 years. 😊

The clones are not stormtroopers. At the end of the clone wars, clone troopers were too expensive to keep, plus there were some other issues (no spoilers), so they got swapped for normal dudes (less professional, cheaper), aka the stormtroopers

[@crapsmalloy7273]

I suggest you invest in a box of tissues for Episode III. It's easily the darkest Star Wars movie. Simply put, there is a reason the next movie is called "Revenge of the Sith."

[@wittepm]

Episode 3 will answer a lot of the questions you're asking at the end of this video.

[@Zitolos]

One of the things that get explained more in the books is that the jedi are arrogant thinking that balance means the light is more powerful. Yall had ot right. It's a mix between light and dark. The new mouves kind of messed it up but luke later on is the balance between light and dark not neglecting one in favor of the other.

[@Daniel-Strain]

"Balance" in the Force is not balance between light and dark (or good/evil). It refers to finding balance between the Cosmic Force and the Living Force. That means balance between self and other, between the impulse to self preservation and impermanence, between love and non-attachment, harmony of all parts of the cosmos, etc. The light side is all about balance and the dark side is imbalance toward selfishness.

[@SchnellTim]

19:27 - Nope, clones and stormtroopers are different

[@wa-bu3ke]

not always

[@Daniel-Strain]

You should watch 7-9, but those are like 25 years after 4-6. So, after ep 3 and BEFORE 7-9, you should watch "Solo: A Star Wars Story" and "Rogue One" - those two take p;ace between ep 3 and 4.

[@KarlKraus1]

Dooku isn't trying to destroy the Sith; like Yoda said, he was trying to plant mistrust and deceit in Obi-Wan's mind to sway him to their cause; he was speaking half-truths in that convesation they were having about the Republic being controlled by a sinister foe

[@sergiobonilla8345]

A Padawan is a jedi learner,next level is Jedi Knight ,then Master Jedi

[@mdroid7755]

Getting through Episode 3 will answer a lot of your questions and close out the classic Skywalker Saga. I also suggest watching Rogue One, which is the events immediately before the start of 4, but I'd say just give a miss to 7-9 and Solo. And as other people pointed out, the age difference between Padme and Anakin isn't as drastic as it appears and the Clone Wars last just over three years, so both of them are well in their twenties by Episode 3 when Luke and Leia are conceived.

[@chuckrothans7535]

@Jyn x Ryl Everything Dooku said to Obi-Wan was the truth, the only thing that he lied about was not knowing Jango fett. Dooku was Qui-gon jinn jedi master and before that dooku was yoda's formal apprentice. Dooku is confirmed to be the greatest lightsaber duelist in the history of the jedi order. According to both George Lucas and Dave Filoni.

[@chucksmash1]

Ok... where do i begin? Anakin was just 9 when he met Padme, who was 14; their age difference isn't that substantial You were theorizing in the middle of your reaction, which made you miss some key things: Jyn was right in saying Kamino, the first planet Obi-Wan visited was the place that was erased from the Jedi Temple archives, the place where the clone army was being built The planet he visits next, Geonosis, was where the plot starts to combine together: Anakin and Padme goes to help Obi-Wan when he gets captured when getting caught snooping around Unfortunately, the storyline about how the clone army was even commissioned was not brought up again in the movies You'll have to become an even truer fan and watch the extra content to get answers about what's going on (Tales of the Jedi)

I don't like the sequel trilogy but I think it's worth watching. It's a fascinating study on what happens when a studio feels obligated to release a trilogy in a short time without having any sort of plan for where the story is going, and with two separate directors with very different ideas. It's a majestic trainwreck with a few genuinely good parts. I don't hate any of the SW movies or shows but in my mind the only great Star Wars product after the original trilogy is the Andor TV show, which I highly recommend.

[@l.piloto7964]

Investigation the facts I found that The Republic records shows that the Jedi defeated the Sith on their home world and maintained the peace in the galaxy for 1000 generations (25,034 years). While it is preferable to Sith rule, it makes weak minded people more susceptible to corruption. Balance keeps in the hearts and mind of the people why the light is preferable. According to the Star Wars canon. Daylight is longer but a third of darkness helps keep and appreciate the light.
