More Jedi survived the order. Darth Vader's apprentice hunted them down before switching after Vader and the Emperor betrayed him and he became a key player in starting the rebellion

[@AlextheHistorian]

I don't think of it the same way. In various religions (which the Jedi/Sith can be considered religion, and Lucas was heavily inspired by various religions when creating Star Wars) the word "balance" means "harmony". Harmony is the opposite of Chaos. When there is no more chaos and upheaval, there is balance. So it's not that there are two sith, two jedi to balance the scales...it's that the force will be in balance when peace and harmony are restored.

[@86leewis]

No he brought balance, it just took 20 years. He came through at the end. Because he was never gone. He's always been there, he never became Vader, as much as he wanted to. He couldn't let go

The jedi had been had been infected with darkness over the centuries and when the sith started to manipulate life itself through the force a total takeover of darkness was imminent so the force created Anakin as a clean slate program,,,,burn it all down,,,start anew,,,,,,,so the jedi did misread the prophecy,,,they missed the part where they have to go along with the sith

a key note about being a jedi "master".... the Masters are allowed full access to the Jedi libraries and knowledge about the force. Some of these teachings/writings/documents about the force are not open to all Jedi and the Rank of Master allows you more access. So Anakin being put on the Jedi Council and Palpatine insinuating that Anakin will be a Master gives Anakin hope that he can finally search the libraries full inventory for ways to save Padme. He is desperate to save her from death, have his child, and be a Jedi Master. Basically, he wants it all and he wants it all now.

Let's say that a Jedi is basically a monk. Maybe let go for mere mortals is hard but supposedly they were trained and teach to that. Besides, I think Yoda is right. To know how to let go is a "must have" ability because we aren't owner of nothing and, more important, nobody in this life.

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

Qui Gonn spirit taught Obi Wan to become a force ghost, (at the end of the movie Yoda said to Obi that someone returned from the netherworld of the force). In all those years in solitude in Tatooine Obi Wan learnt it. That´s why he told Vader in episode IV: "if you strike me down, I´ll become more powerful that you can possibly imagine".

[@antoinettelopes]

That's such a retcon. I think GL originally wanted Qui Gonn to not fade away because he wasn't in the right state when he died. But because everyone was confused he changed it to be like "oh, I meant to do that. He's still a good guy."

I credit you for connecting Chancellor Palpatine to the Emperor with the last movie. The Emperor was never actually named in the OT, and when it was filmed, Ian Mcdiarmid would have been 39, and had a lot of make-up prosthetics. In TPM he would have been 58, 60 when this was filmed, and for the most part, no make-up. It was always really interesting to me how that worked out, that he was able to play younger Palpatine when he was older. Credit due, McDiarmid still gets into a soundbooth for Palpatine, as he popped up in a season 3 Bad batch appearance, and while VAs like Sam Witwer does a good Palps, Ian is the original.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

23:23 "I've been trained in your... _Jedi_ arts." Let me point out a detail in what he just said that is often misunderstood. He said, "I've been trained in your... _Jedi_ arts." He did _not_ say, "I've been trained as a _Jedi,"_ because he _hasn't_ been. General Grievous doesn't have the Force. He's a good strategist and a feared Jedi hunter, and his cybernetic enhancements make him fast, but because he doesn't have the Force, he's _absolutely_ no match for Obi-Wan, even with four lightsabers to Obi-Wan's one.

[@Stogie2112]

That is pure speculation and fan fiction. There is no evidence to support the notion that anyone was responsible for Anakin's procreation.

[@mdroid7755]

​@@Stogie2112Then how did he come about? Even with an immaculate conception something is at work to bring it about. Up until Disney invalidated the EU it was part of the larger canon. And unless Disney decides to gut the opera house scene from the movie it is still implied Plagueis's experiments led to the birth of Anakin when Palpatine looks at Anakin very pointedly as he explains how Plagueis influenced midichlorians to create life. It may be subtextual but the dialogue and delivery have weight.

[@Stogie2112]

@@mdroid7755 .... The simplest explanation is that the Force itself created Anakin in the womb. The Force alone, with no intervention from anyone, created Anakin so that he would bring balance. A few words from Palpatine about Darth Plagueis (which could have been a lie), are not sufficient evidence of anyone manipulating the Force to create Anakin. We must remember that Palpatine was constantly manipulating Anakin with lies and half-truths, just to turn him to the Dark Side. His story about Plagueis and how he could stop death was probably a lie.

[@mdroid7755]

@@Stogie2112 That makes little sense. If the Force overtly directed the course of the galaxy in such a way to create Anakin then why did it not act on its own initiative in the same way any of the other times there was imbalance? What about that specific timeframe made it more important for Anakin to exist when he did? Why are we not awash with other immaculate conceptions in the galaxy? You'd think if the Force just had a habit of generating random babies then it shouldn't bewilder the Jedi when one shows up. And, as you say, Palpatine was giving Anakin lies and half truths to manipulate him for years. That's not in dispute. But I don't see why he couldn't also tell the truth to manipulate him just as easily. Telling the tale of how he took knowledge from his master and killed him when he had nothing useful left is very much in the vein of pride a Sith would have. He's clearly boasting about his actions even if he obscured they were his in the moment. And further, all Anakin was concerned with was the stopping death part and Palpatine would have had him regardless without the mention of other powers. So why mention influencing the Force to create life unless it had bearing, i.e. hinting at the secret of Anakin's own existence?

[@Stogie2112]

@@mdroid7755 .... There is no "official history" of the Force, the Jedi and the Sith. The only information we have is what we have seen in the films. For all we know, the Force did intervene in galactic affairs in the past. We just don't know. According to George Lucas, Anakin WAS an immaculate conception. That's all we have to go on. Why is that so difficult for people to accept? The only "hinting" at Anakin's creation is in the minds of fans. It may be fun to imagine hypothetical scenarios with Palpatine and Plagueis creating Anakin, but it's still just fan speculation. Nothing from Lucas or the other writers confirm it. Therefore, it's a waste of time discussing it.

The Jedi were destroyed because they lost their calling to serve the will of the Force. They have become very political, and serve the Senate and the Republic more. This was confirmed by Obi Wan when he told Vader "My allegiance is to the Republic, to Democracy!" Although in fact this is not the path of a true Jedi, and Qui-Gon (Obi-Wan’s master understood this, which is why he was at odds with the Jedi Council. Windu in Episode III said that “The Jedi lose connection to the Force,” and this is true. Therefore, the Force was not on their side, and in the end they failed. The Jedi had to be reborn.

[@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.

[@thesharpercoder]

The main reason the Jedi Council did not make Anakin a Jedi Master is because while Anakin was a master of the Force, he was not a master of himself and his emotions. The Jedi Council could sense the dark side surrounding the Chancellor. They did not suspect the Chancellor because he was already the leader of the Republic. Instead, they remembered what Dooku had told Kenobi on Geonosis. He said many Senators were under the influence of a Sith Lord. The Jedi Council suspected someone in the Chancellor’s inner circle was the Sith Lord. THIS is what the Jedi Council wanted Anakin to observe, not directly spy on the Chancellor. The last time Obi-Wan and Anakin spoke on friendly terms, Obi-Wan told him that it would not be long before the Jedi Council made Anakin a Jedi Master. Assigning Anakin to observe the Chancellor was a test of his loyalty. Was Anakin more committed to the Chancellor or the Jedi? Anakin passed the test when he reported his findings to Master Windu I believe Master Windu told Anakin to wait for him in the Jedi Council chambers because Master Windu wanted to convene the Jedi Council and elevate Anakin to the rank of Jedi Master.

[@AlextheHistorian]

I said this in a previous comment, but a lot of people think that the force is in balance when there are the same amount of Sith as there are Jedi. But this I do not believe to be true. George Lucas was heavily inspired by various religions when creating Star Wars, particularly when discussing the Force, the Light and the Dark; the Jedi and the Sith. In various religions, the word "balance" means harmony, more than it means literal equilibrium. In some religions, things are out of balance when there is Chaos. The presence of the Sith represent Chaos, and the upsetting of harmony (balance). Therefore the Force can only be in balance once there is peace and harmony.

[@martinwarford1389]

When there were thousands of Jedi and Sith there was no balance. When there were thousands of Jedi and only two Sith there was no balance. And then there was a time when the Jedi thought the Sith were no more, yet they the Jedi or at least some of them, still believed in or were aware of the prophecy of a Chosen One to balance the Force. If the Sith were no longer around why would there need to be a balance? Well for one the Sith weren't the only embodiment of the dark side. There were others who used the dark side who weren't Sith, just like there were those who weren't Jedi but used or were influenced by the the light side, and those somewhere in between. For example, although there was a rule of just two, The Master and the apprentice, there were plenty of Sith acolytes, dark side users who were basically Sith lite. There were also people like the Witches of Dathomir who were force sensitive and heavily leaned dark side. So the theory that their had to be an equal amount of Jedi and Sith for balance makes no sense and always annoyed me.

The prophecy was misread by the Jedi Council because they didn't quite know what "balance in the Force" meant They automatically assumed that was all about getting rid of their archnemesis, the Sith, once and for all Why? Because at the same time this was discussed in Episode l, the Sith were thought of being back because of Qui-Gon's fight with Maul on Tatooine Anakin wasn't a weapon to use to fight the enemy, he was to be the conduit for both sides of the Force, light AND dark If he was trained properly by Qui-Gon, then Anakin would've been able to control the scales easier and not go ballistic because of the highly flawed system that the Jedi label as peace of mind As Palpatine said, the Council was weary of how their "power" would be taken from them, "power" they fought so hard for in the form of peace when the Sith were thought to be gone Anakin was always meant to wield the dark side, just not this way Palpatine's plan warped that intent

[@Daniel-Strain]

All wrong. The prophesy was correct. Anakin restored balance by destroying the Sith. Lucas has already explained 'balance' does not mean 'between dark and light'. The light side is balance and the dark side is balance. That's official.

@@KarlKraus1 The Mortis arc was literally about the Father being wrong about balance, which resulted in total destruction. The Ahsoka show has nothing to do with Lucas, and just talks itself around in circles.

[@Daniel-Strain]

@@KarlKraus1 Yes I know the Mortis arc, and all of this was from Lucas, which is still very much being followed by Filoni. That arc does not mean to imply the balance the father was seeking is the balance the Jedi refer to in their prophesy. It was the triumph of the dark side which cased the imbalance - not because it tipped things away from the light, but because dark represents imbalance and light represents balance.

[@shinrapresident7010]

Another happy reaction. A neat parallel is when Master Windu said ''he's(Palpatine) too dangerous to be left alive!''. Remember at the start of the movie? Palpatine said the same thing about Dooku when justifying his execution. However true that might be for both situations, Master Windu would never have accepted it. Now, Anakin has to watch Windu say and do the same thing he'd expel Anakin for.

Lol welcome to a whole new world. Gotta watch rogue one next.

[@Stogie2112]

Palpatine's greatest mistake was assuming that he could turn Luke just like he turned Anakin. Anakin had built his entire life on his love for Padmé. That made him an easy target for Palpatine. Luke cared deeply about his friends, but he never knew his mother, nor was he romantically involved with a woman. Luke never experienced the deep, selfish, jealous love that comes with a romantic relationship. Although Luke felt the attraction of the Dark Side, he wasn't nearly as desperate as his father was.

[@MrKINSM]

The Clone Wars animated series does a great job of filling in all the missing pieces between episodes 2 and 3.

[@technofilejr3401]

46:29 Many fans believe that Palpatine reached into the Force and used Padme’s link to Anakin again her. He drew the life out of her to keep Anakin from dying. That’s why she is just fading away.

[@chefskiss6179]

I remember when they announced they were making the prequel trilogy way back when. We sat around wondering what it was going to be like. I'm not one for 'asking' anything of creative people, I just want to go and see/hear and experience something, good or bad, just take me on a journey. But I did wonder where the names Luke and Leia came from. So I figured maybe they'd be other characters that we'll see, and therefor they would influence the parents. So there I am years later, lol, and now in the final few minutes of this movie, at this point having given up any hope of the naming bit of trivia... then we see Padme just nonchalantly name her kids(!). Like as if those two names were already on the tip of her tongue, they came out without any hesitation. Lol, I just thought that is some weird trolling, lol. I mean, imagine at the beginning of the 2nd film, when they land and Padme's decoy and ship get bombed and Padme rushes over to console her. All it would have taken would be a simple "Stay with me, Leia, the medics are on their way." SO simple. Or instead of Obi Wan's friend named Cody, he was named Luke. And Padme died before naming him (I know I know, just flip the kids around, lol). Ben hands the baby to the aunt and he names him. It would have been such a beautiful addition to the story. Shame on you George, lol. ANYWAYS, I loved this watchalong with you two.

[@chello1197]

Hurry and watch Rogue One (A Star Wars Story). The in-between of episode 3 & 4.

[@sharkbaitoohhahha]

Hey J&R - been enjoying watching this series. So I always thought "the prophecy of bringing balance to the Force" is just that....Balance. How many dark Jedi in this series? Emperor 1, Dooku 2, Darth Maul 3. And how many light Jedi? Hundreds. How did the series end? Emperor and Vader; Yoda and Obiwan (not counting the babies). 2 and 2. Isn't that balance?

[@cwell510]

Great reaction as always fam! Time to begin the Clone Wars animated series.Thanks for sharing!

[@technofilejr3401]

There is an animated video on KZbin that shows what life could have been like for Anakin and Padme had he stayed at the Temple as Windu ordered. With Palpatine out of the way, Anakin disclosed to the order that they were married. The Jedi supported the marriage and let him remain in their ranks. Eventually Anakin grew older and wiser with a loving wife and many children at his side. At end of the video, he succeeds Yoda as the Grand Master of the Jedi. So sad to think of how it could have been.

[@jacobcostanza2772]

I feel like Vader didn't intentionally kill Padme. He was able to crush people's throats by lifting up a finger in the originals. He even said "she was alive i felt it". Sidious telling him he killed her was a lie designed to destroy the last bit of humanity and hope inside of him so the only thing he has left is Palpatine and the Empire. All that changed when Luke cane into his life as he had someone he could love again.

[@crash777burn]

Your reaction to Palpatine being fake and 'weak' in front of Mace Windu and Anakin is the same thoughts I had when I saw this back in theaters. Palpatine was wanting Anakin to do it, and take out Master Windu. He "threw" that duel with Mace Windu because he felt Anakin's conflict. That by appearing weak and helpless, he forced Anakin to make a choice. That smile when Anakin cut of Mace Windu's hand shown his true intentions worked.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

39:54 "If you're not _with_ me, then you're my _enemy!"_ "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." 🤔That kind of sounds like an absolute.

It's called destiny after all. From "destination", the only one. There is no "other road" to the only destinsation.

[@GoBoldly]

I just watched all the Star Wars movies (some for the first time) and loved watching your reactions and hearing your thoughts! I will be checking out your other reactions and despite the naysayers I enjoyed all the movies including the sequels and would love to hear your thoughts on those too if you check them out.

[@Heathen9]

Anakin was the chosen one. In the end, he does destroy the Sith. Just as the prophecy foretold. However, the prophecy never truly explained how exactly the chosen one would do it. The Prophecy came true.

[@Farmer_Dave]

Yall really should consider the 2008 clone wars special animated 1 : 30 minute movie that will introduce you two ladies to a beloved female Jedi Student.

[@michaelzabala4850]

It was actually Palpatine that was sending those visions of Anakin's mother and Padme both dying in the last film and this one respectively.

[@michaelakkerman407]

Rouge one should be next, no?

[@illuminatiCorgi]

Yall need to watch the Obi-Wan series next, then rogue one then finish the series..Obi-Wan series is so good after watching this episode

[@Melphas]

You see this alot in Star Wars media, someone joins the Sith to gain power sometimes with good intentions but the deeper they plunge into the Dark Side, the more power hungry they become even to the point they have forgotten their original goal.

[@thanatos6518]

Now ROGUE ONE !! ,saludos y las mejores vibras

[@danieldwyer]

I recommend "Rogue One", next. Even though it is out of order. It makes sense to watch that after this.

[@lordmortarius538]

Grievous is a cyborg, not a droid. He was a Kaleesh warlord that was VERY sour when the Jedi intervened in a war his people started against a neighboring people called the Huk and defeated them, and the head of the Banking Clan conspired to present him as a gift to Dooku as a general for their armies (as he was a brilliant strategist and would have won that war if not for the Jedi). He had a bomb placed on Grievous' shuttle when he was returning home to Kalee to aid his people against a renewed assault by the Huk, which caused his shuttle to crash and severely injured him. Dooku had him rebuilt with cybernetic implants, which over time ended up becoming more and more of his body, until only his heart, lungs, eyes, and brain remained. The implant irritated his lungs, hence the coughing.

[@TSIRKLAND]

"Virtual Hug!" May the Force be with you! The one thing I appreciate the most about the prequel trilogy is the very slow burn of watching Anakin be influenced and manipulated by Palpatine all along, and to see his descent into madness to become Vader. That whole journey is basically the point of these films. Many people complain that there is a lot of boring politics; "trade disputes" seldom make for interesting action adventure movies. Palatine's manipulation of the war, playing both sides against each other to gain power, "accepting" leadership, "accepting" more power, ascending to create The Empire. Not quite as interesting from a personal relationships standpoint, not a lot of action to those sections, but a picture of political will at its worst: well-crafted, that. And there is enough action, light sabers, explosions, leaping about Jedi force stuff, throughout the films: some of the best light saber battles of the whole series- originals and sequels included- are in these prequel films. There are some mis-steps: Jar-Jar is the most cited. Padme's change from bad-ass queen, to bad-ass senator, to meek mild wife and pregnant lady is a weird vibe switch for that character. Natalie Portman acts the hell out of that role all the way through, but she was done dirty at the end, there. Anakin's complaint about sand is one of my friend's personal grudges he's held for decades, now: he never misses an opportunity to mock that speech. I'm mostly willing to look past a paragraph or two of slightly clunky dialogue, or a comedic relief character that goes too far, even Padme's character drop I'm willing to sadly shake my head and look past in deference to the greater story arc. My biggest complaints are the continuity errors or ret-cons compared to the original trilogy. When making a prequel, you have a LOT of predestination to deal with. We KNOW for a fact that A, B, and C are going to happen; we've already seen the "future" in the original trilogy. The prequels' job is to tell us HOW we got from here to there. But when they insert certain twists and wrinkles, certain things start to get messy. And that bothers me. R2D2 and C3PO playing such large parts in these films, but the Obi-Wan of the future seeming to not know anything about them: was he pretending? 3PO had his memory wiped; R2 I'm not sure about. Vader/Anakin seems to know nothing of their involvement in the fight against him. The idea that Darth Vader himself, at the age of nine, built C3PO as a hobby project: that is WILD. I really super hate that that is a canon fact. I try to reject that from my mind whenever possible. The decision to give Luke to literally Anakin's half-brother: how is that "hiding" him from anybody? His home planet? The only family Anakin has left? Nobody thinks that's a risk at all? Several others that I started to type but deleted. Too rant-y. So anyway. I wish that they had been more careful with tying this prequel into the future in ways that made sense and didn't lead to plot-holes or fantastical cosmic coincidences. But I did appreciate the long and tragic journey of Anakin's turn to The Dark Side. I have further thoughts about the sequel trilogy, but now is not the time for those...

General Grievous has organic eyes and coughs and yet a surprising too many people don't connect the dots that he's a cyborg. Grievous is also a lot more sympathetic of a character when you know all the stuff he went through and how it was used to manipulate him.
