STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH! (2005) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@KimEllendale]

Would you like to see the Obi-One Kenobi series next on the channel? Or perhaps Stranger Things? Or even Indiana Jones? The Star Wars Sequels? So many options! Let me know down below! Oh and don't forget to leave a LIKE! Let me know if you're enjoying these reactions!

[@mitsurusano6666]

You should watch Rogue One and the sequels

[@leonelsanchez7991]

Please not secuels, secuels should not be canon, they ruined George lucas star wars concept, Obi wan show is way better.

[@orainefoster8316]

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series for sure, especially coming off of the prequel trilogy.

[@hallieraymond]

If you're up for more KZbin reactions, I do recommend Rogue One next. It's just one (really great) film, it attaches to the saga easily, and sets up its own prequel Andor if you want a more long-term project. Reacting to Indiana Jones or Stranger Things will likely bring you to more audiences and change your channel still further, but you may be looking for that. I personally love the show Obi-Wan Kenobi and think it does a good job of giving you more closure on prequel feels if you needed it. But it's not as popular as other Star Wars content. The sequels have their moments, imo, but for the most part I and many other Star Wars fans might prefer to pretend they don't exist.

[@bobogus7559]

42:08 Throughout the Clone Wars, General Grievous was a highly feared Jedi hunter (hence his collection of lightsabers, which is much more extensive than what's shown here). However, since he didn't have Force powers, he had a key disadvantage against a Jedi, and had to rely on a combination of surprise, dirty fighting, and quickly dominating the fight so his opponent couldn't focus on using Force powers. So anytime Grievous couldn't quickly overpower his opponent, his strategy was to flee and try again later. Also, this was clearly not the first time Obi-Wan and Grievous met, considering how they were behaving around each other at the beginning of the fight. This is also made clearer in the Clone Wars TV show from 2008-2020, which I highly recommend.

[@DarkChaos87]

@OP, the movie (not Tartakovsky's) takes place after an episode or two of clone wars if watching in chronological. If you remember, the movie takes place along the Retaking of Cristophsis. The Battle of Cristophsis is an episode or two prior to the movie as Anakin doesn't get his extra hand until the movie.

General grievous was a kaleesh warrior who became a living legend among his people. He got his name because the love of his life was killed in battle and to honour her rebranded himself grievous (grieving)Whilst battling another species that sought help from the Jedi, grievous went to the banking clan and dooku for help. Instead of helping they blew his ship up and took what remains were left and made him into a cyborg to lead the droid army. A fun fact to know is when grievous first was made someone referred to him as a “droid” so out of anger killed all the droids present. Even though he is technically 95% droid he still doesn’t view himself as one and never will. Even the droids that u see at the start with the electric staffs and capes, were all redesigned by grievous himself to make his army look more kalee.

[@shinrapresident7010]

Remember how at the start Palpatine said Dooku was ''too dangerous to be left alive''? Master Windu would never have accepted that answer but now Anakin has to watch Windu say and do the exact same thing to Palpatine, something that Windu would have expelled Anakin from the order for if he ever found out the truth.

[@EditedAF987]

“A rule for thee but not for me?” _ignites saber_ “Consider this my two weeks notice!”

Nonsense, you have revealed that you lack awareness. The difference is that Dooku lost his arms and had no political influence. Thus Fooku was literally helpless and captured with no corrupt influence over the courts and thus can be tried fairly. Whereas Sidious controlled the courts and the Senate, still had his hands and lightning and had the popular vote. The fight wasn't even over. Sidious had literally won and the only way for the empire to be avoided was to kill Sidious right there.

[@Cope69]

Completely agree. This is my favorite movie to see reactions to but also the worst since a majority never seem to understand Anakins perspective. A lot of reactors will see it just as whiney and selfish, which is the exact hate Hayden got years ago. Most don't fully get it on their first viewing

[@MrZackavelli]

They didn't tell him he was "wrong" for missing his mother. He missed her and had fear of losing her. That fear will lead to anger, from anger to hate, and from hate to suffering. Everything the Jedi warned against turned out to be true. And Palpatine is simply buttering up Anakim and stroking his ego so he'll look more supportive to Anakin as opposed to the council who *actually* have to teach him right from wrong.

[@more-reasons6655]

@@MrZackavelli just because they warned against it happening doesnt mean that it is the only possible scenario that could happen, the Jedi did nothing to prevent Anakin feeling that way Let me use an example to help explain, if I see a woman accidentally let go of her pram and it rolls towards the road, I can warn her that her baby is about to be hit by a car and do nothing to stop it like the Jedi. Or I can intervene and grab the pram before it's too late Anakin was set up for failure as the jedi realise he's a special case yet they lump him with the only jedi knight to not complete the jedi trials. They saw Anakin as special but refused to give him any special treatment I just think they could have done a little better than telling a child who's just been separated from his mother that he will be suffering because of it, first impressions matter you know

[@MrZackavelli]

@more-reasons6655 1) How did the Jedi do nothing to prevent Anakin from feeling that way? Anakin was taught not to form attachments just like every other padawan. 2) Obi-Wan *did* complete the trials. Defeating a Sith Lord turned out to be his trials. Jedi can be rewarded with Knight status if they live through a very trying ordeal and remain true to the code. 3) How would giving Anakin special treatment fix things? If they give Anakin special treatment, then that alienates Anakin from his fellow padawans and inflates his own ego. I swear, if the Jedi *did* give Anakin special treatment, there would still be people complaining "The Jedi gave Anakin special treatment and didn't treat him like every other padawan, which doomed him from the start"

[@more-reasons6655]

@@MrZackavelli so you agree that the Jedi contradict themselves most of the time Your second point is clarifying that they gave Obiwan special treatment for defeating a sith lord but your third point you state they wouldn't give Anakin any special treatment for being a rare case in that he's 9 and therefore already has made attachments As for your first point, there's a difference between starting as a jedi and never forming any attachments vs starting with attachments and then becoming a jedi. The council arent stupid and they should recognise that difference We know that the way the old Jedi dealt with attachments is part of their down fall. Luke has attachments which lead him to give up on his Jedi training but he still came out a great Jedi because Yoda and Obi Wan weren't going to ostracise him for his attachments like they would to Anakin, then again Yoda did say Luke would become "an agent of evil" if he went to save his friends so maybe Yoda's just been wrong all this time

[@wertfi908]

I actually believe that Padme didn’t die from the birth, or loosing her will to live. There’s a popular fan theory that the life preserving power of Darth Plagueis works by taking life from someone, and giving it to someone else, so Palpatine drained the life from Padme to keep Anakin alive.

Anakin was essentially an orphan and before that he was a slave. To be rejected by the Jedi that he so looked up to for years on end all the way to adulthood, it's not wonder that Palpatine is really the only true 'mentor' he ever knew. Obi-wan was always a positive influence but he was always more of an older brother. Hell even as Vader talking about overthrowing the Emperor, it felt more like he was doing what was expected of a Sith rather than due to any feeling of enmity towards Palpatine.

For what it’s worth and if you haven’t already: watch return of the Jedi again. Vader and Luke hits sooooo much harder emotionally when you know how Anakin was fighting with Vader to save Luke all throughout those scenes.

[@tsuno9558]

Your reaction made me cry, remembering that day when I went to the theater with my heart pounding and wept, overcome with grief. Thank you for the wonderful video.

This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever: The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain. The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew at your flesh. You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down. You don’t even have lungs anymore. Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your bloodstream forever. Lord Vader? Lord Vader, can you hear me? And you can’t, not in the way you once did. Sensors in the shell that prisons your head trickle meaning directly into your brain. You open your scorched-pale eyes; optical sensors integrate light and shadow into a hideous simulacrum of the world around you. Or perhaps the simulacrum is perfect, and it is the world that is hideous. Padme? Are you here? Are you all right? you try to say, but another voice speaks for you, out from the vocabulator that serves you for burned-away lips and tongue and throat. Padme? Are you here? Are you all right? I’m very sorry, Lord Vader. I’m afraid she died. It seems in your anger, you killed her. This burns hotter than the lava had. No…no, it is not possible! You love her. You have always loved her. You could never will her death. Never. But you remember… You remember all of it. You remember the dragon that you brought Vader forth from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader’s blood. You remember the furnace of Vader’s fury, and the black hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth… And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker. That it was all you. Is you. Only you. You did it. You killed her. You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself… It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith - Because now yourself is all you will ever have. And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were. You are more than half machine, you are like a painter gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can remember where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow. In the end, you do not even want to. In the end, the shadow is all you have left. Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself- And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame. This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker. Forever…

31:55 the sad part that Palpatin know how the Jedi council will react his almost every move, yes he's a Sith Lord but also a politician who tries create situations where in the end he's looking the good guy and the Jedi's the bad guy. Like" yes Anakin you will be my representative on the Jedi council (and been in the council means you got the ramk of master, but the council decision who got the rank and they not want give Palpatin a voting)." Papatin know that the Jedi's will wanna spy on him and will asking Anakin to do it it making him not trust the council.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Yeah Vader did the same we can rule the galaxy together thing with Luke but there he was trying to turn him to the Dark Side by being manipulative and truly wanted his help to either serve the Emperor or truly take him down. I don't think the rule of two had been thought of back during Empire. But here he's just desperate not to lose Padme and sadly he does because its out of selfish love. Yes he does Love Padme but he only wants her to live because "he" doesn't want to lose her and doesn't care how he saves her even if she would rather die then see him go down this path.

[@Slashycent]

Imo it's the exact same offering for both Padmé and Luke. It's Vader talking, not Anakin. By that point he's just completely manic and has completely lost touch with his initial mission to save Padmé. The dark side has consumed and blinded him. Luckily, Kim was right about Luke being his mother's son and denying the offer while sticking to his belief that there's still good in Anakin, just like Padmé did.

[@WJS774]

@@Slashycent You ever read the Darth Vader comics? They are good, one of them is set after Empire Strikes Back, and we see Anakin having a nightmare about Luke falling down below Cloud City, only he turns into Padme as he falls. That was a big turning point for him, when he realised that Luke would rather die than join him and he had to confront what he had become, and how Padme would have done exactly the same.

[@dernwine]

Kim, watch Andor, Rogue One and the Kenobi TV series with us please! Clone Wars and Rebels (the Cartoon TV shows) are very hit and miss. At their best in the later seasons they're up there with the six movies you've watched, at their worst they're really rough. But mostly they deal with Obi, and Anakin, so you'll probably like them over all.

“I’m gonna miss them when Anakin goes Dark Side.” CLONE (and I cannot stress this enough) WARS. 😆 Honestly, I wish everyone could experience The Clone Wars before Revenge of the Sith, and it makes me sad that the vast majority of, at the very least, reactors never will. They always wanna put out content on something of a schedule, put out movie series as close together as possible for instance, which I get and makes sense. But this movie is SO much harder, and Anakin’s fall is _so_ much more believable, if you’ve seen Clone Wars, and I dearly wish I could have had that context the first time I saw this. Granted, I saw it on launch in 2005, three years before CW started, but still.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

I show people the series in chronological order, so I always put TCW between the two films.

[@tylerstewart3181]

The dark side, to an untrained an unprepared mind, twists your very being. It is like being a passenger in a car driven by the most evil version of yourself. You're present for every agonizing moment, but powerless to stop yourself. This truly was no longer Anakin that Padme and Obi-Wan were dealing with. He was trapped within his own mind, completely overtaken by Vader.

[@philiprawles6262]

I cannot encourage you enough to watch The Clone Wars movie and series because it answers so many questions about the prequels you might have in particular about the clones and their betrayal and what help lead anakin to the point of tipping over the edge

[@xoxobobo1687]

when you ask yourself at the end of the film, why doesn't anakin ignore the vision. It's deeper in the books. It's almost every night that Anakin has this vision. This frightens him so much that he doesn't even dare to sleep. This is also one of the reasons that makes it easy for Palpatine. And why Anakin is easily emotional. He can't sleep anymore, he's worried. He's worn out. Plus, in the books he almost wanted to leave the jedi order. He was tired of all the attention. He was tired of being the chosen one. He was fed up with what the council of jedi masters demanded of him. He was tired of what Palpatine demanded of him. He dreamed of a simple life with Padme. That's what he really was. The chosen one, despite himself. " i hate you " to obi wan is also. Anakin hates his position. Anankin never talk about his position of chosen one in the second part of the film. Others talks about. Windu, yoda, obi wan etc. Becoming father changes a lot of his real purpose. Wasnt anymore himself and being chosen one there is also a main thing in star wars. Anakin's mother die in his arms, as luke's father ...

General Grievous is a character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He was introduced in the 2003 animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars before appearing through computer-generated imagery in the 2005 live-action film Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (voiced by Matthew Wood). Wood reprised the role in the 2008 computer animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

yours is one of the best reactions I've seen when it comes to the Obi, anakin, padme confrontation. Love your zoom in visuals

[@gegeleduc]

Star Wars is the story of Anakin Skywalker, that’s it. Yet you have so much more to see. The sequels are honestly a shame but i’d suggest you to watch them either as quick as possible, or simply never lol I’m sure you’ll like Clone Wars btw, the tv show. Yes it’s long but it’s really cool (much better in chronological order) and has some of the best SW moments in it. And btw, that was one of the best reaction

[@MrZackavelli]

As much as I also hate them, I think she should watch the sequels. A delicious dessert can be great on it's own, but it'll inevitably be magnified if it's right after a bad main course. In this case, the original 6 are the dessert, the sequels are the bad main course.

To answer your question, continue with your Star Wars journey for now. My recommendation is to do Obi-Wan Kenobi, then the two Story films in Solo and Rogue One. Then, a much-needed break with new content before tackling The Mandolorian and the Sequel Trilogy. Enjoy!

Palpatine is the apprentice who murders his master Darth Plageus. The story he tells Anakin is about himself.

[@gumdeo]

Yoda wanted an impossibly high standard of detachment from Anakin. “Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not”. But Yoda certainly wasn't rejoicing as he felt the Jedi die during Order 66 or when he found the slaughtered padawans in the Temple.

[@tahjsimon9058]

Bullshit, he was just told that loss is a part of life. Death will happen, mourn and then accept. Come 5o peace with it. But Anakin was too obsessed, too possessive. Uninteresting in learning how to deal with loss because he believed that he should be able to stop people from dying despite sucking at force healing in the Legends and not knowing it in the new canon.

You´re so right Kim and I agree with you. Anakin tried and tried a lot to do the things right but always.... excluded from the council and for any mission.... they were afraid of him but they pulled a lot to the dark side.

How was he excluded from the council? He was clearly granted a seat.

[@loganbrooks1591]

He was given a seat but denied him the rank of Master. All council members are jedi masters. So it was one of those we'll let you think you're of us, but you really aren't because we don't trust you.

[@MrZackavelli]

@@loganbrooks1591 Anakin says himself that the council elects its own members. His appointment was purely because he was chosen to spy on Palpatine.

[@kevraf6463]

He's crying because he has a lot of self-hatred. He knows going to the dark side is wrong. He understands that he was responsible for Padme's death, and he understands how he was manipulated, but his connection to the force is diminished due to loss of limbs. The emperor will always be stronger because of that and the suit the emperor created deals him constant pain. He has to use the force to fend that off. There were more technologically advanced suits, but the emperor chose that one so Darth Vader couldn't overthrow him. Vader's depression in this state kept him connected to the dark side. No one said being the chosen one was glamorous. It's supposed to be sacrificial - as men are supposed to be. And all of this perfectly portrays the amount of physical and mental agony many men face every day and stay silent about. There's a much deeper meanings to Star Wars in my opinion.

[@richietribe9487]

57:10 it actually IS true. Windu was trying to murder the head of state and the council meeting from earlier explained the jedi were planning to take control of the senate. That's he brilliance of it. Sidious didn't scapegoat them, he manipulated them into becoming scapegoats willingly

[@MrZackavelli]

Oh please, murder? The guy is clearly a Sith Lord and is trying to install a dictatorship in the galaxy, not to mention that Sidious has just killed 3 other Jedi. "Murder" is hardly the word I'd use.

[@MrZackavelli]

And it's clearly stated in the dialogue that the Jedi only realized that they had to *temporarily* take control of the senate in order to ensure a peaceful transition, because in this scenario there would be no Chancellor, and they would have to temporarily fill the power vacuum

[@richietribe9487]

@@MrZackavelli Being a sith is not illegal in the Republic. And it can be easily argued in Palpatine's case by a devil's advocate that his killing of the three jedi was self-defense. Besides, a non-elected group taking over an elected government, even if only temporarily, is considered a coup

[@MrZackavelli]

@richietribe9487 The Sith killed one of the Order's own members back in TPM. They know that one of them was the head of the entire separatist movement. If Palpatine is a Sith and is leading the Republic, I'd say that's certainly enough probable cause to take Palpatine into custody, which is what the Jedi tried to do.

[@MrZackavelli]

[@jefflarson7180]

To answer your question at 24:10 yes by the time of this movie, Anakin is a Jedi Knight and has already had a padawan named Ahsoka Tano assigned to him. he was knighted shorty after the events of Attack of the Clones and the start of Clone wars

[@danielcooper3332]

There are actually a lot of deleted scenes of Padme and some of the other senators plotting how to remove Chancellor Palpatine's power and return the senate back to diplomacy in what is very clearly the infancy of the rebellion. Unfortunately due to the run time, those scenes had to be deleted but the intention to give Padme more screen time was there. In terms of the next reaction, I'd really like to see you react to the clone wars series. It's 7 seasons so I understand if it's too much for a reaction series but it gives interesting storylines to favorites such as Anakin, Obi-wan, and Padme. Give deeper backstory and lore to background characters such as the Jedi, Separatists, and Senators. As well as introducing new and equally interesting characters. So in conclusion even if you don't react to it might be worth watching in your own time.
