STAR WARS MOVIE REACTION | Episode II: Attack of the Clones

[@havok6280]

Clone Troopers are the precursors of Storm Troopers. By the time of the Original Trilogy, the Clones have been replaced by human recruits.

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

One of the Empire's biggest mistakes since the Clones were much more competent.

[@EmmyReacts]

Ahhh okay that is interesting!

[@GrimmEnt.]

​@@otakuwolf4ever985 They were also very expensive and took a long time to create.

[@mevb]

@@otakuwolf4ever985 Technically, yeah but they were so expensive to upkeep, cloning them, raise, edcate and train them, not to metion to feed them for 10 years. It would heav become unfeasble during the reign of The Empire. It was one thing to get an army for The Clone Wars.

[@glennallen239]

Boba Fett was the Bounty Hunter that took Han Solo to Jabba the Hut. He was the Bounty Hunter who Han Solo knocked into the pit on Episode VI.

[@EmmyReacts]

Ahh that's right!!

[@craigmorris4083]

Ani own's C-3P0, Padme owns R2-D2. When they got married they exchanged droids. :)

[@nathancruz9172]

Yep

[@kwams26]

So in Ep 1, Ani was 9 and Padme was 14. In this one, he's 19 and she's 24

[@LeighMet]

actually the novelizations says that he just turned 20. Its not ten years to the day since the last time they meet its ten years a month a a few weeks.

[@LeighMet]

Anakin is 20 acording to the novelization.

[@kennyhudson9201]

I've always thought that Anakin freefalling onto the assassin's ship is the greatest show of Force ability in all of the movies.

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

When Padme and Ani went to Naboo, these colourful scenes were filmed in Plaza de España in Seville, Spain. Also the lake scenes are from Italy.

[@gilbertallard306]

Natalie Portman’s first role was in LEON, The Professional. She was amazing.

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

Here you also meet aunt Beru and uncle Owen, which lived with Luke in episode IV.

[@kennyhudson9201]

Obi wan jumped out a window, Anakin jumped out of a flying car. He's just following his master's lead. :)

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

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

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

Once you've completed this journey. . .you must take the path of the Clone Wars.

[@LeighMet]

Liam Neason was susposed to come back spirtwise in the 3rd movie however he had broken his leg at the time of filming

[@MichaelLayne702]

Death Sticks are some kind of drug, like heroin or meth. That’s what I got of the game Bounty Hunter back in the day.

[@Commander-vf1lk]

Clone Wars is a 3 year war. The nxt one is the late war. The end of the war as well. Clones will wear & use new tech. As any military will have new stuff each year to counter specific threats whether it’s designed to protect or attack.

[@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.

[@EmmyReacts]

Ohh thanks for letting me know, I'll check them out!!

[@carlop.7182]

Is Qui-Gon coming back as a force ghost ?--I can't give you an answer without spoiling you, so I will be a bitch & not answer, only this: you'll have your answer near the end of episode 3. After you'll be done with episode 3 (no more spoilers left), I could give you a better answer. The bounty hunter's kid clone is the bounty hunter that brings Han Solo to Jabba the hut in the OT (episode 5), watch it again, and notice that he kept his dad's ship. it's the same model. Have a nice day. Last thing: when Anakin comes back for his mom, he meets his step brother--that's Luke's uncle Owen & aunt Beru from the start of episode 4--that's why he trusts them to keep Padmé safe. You talking about Yoda fighting--look at him jumping around--try to train with a lightsaber for 800+ years, and you'll be good for sure. no other jedi had this much experience.

[@Darklord666123]

Also just before the Darth Vader 'Imperial March' is subtly heard you can also hear the Emperor's choir like theme right after Anakin says 'Not just the men....'

[@mevb]

There were two scenes before the arena scene, that was cut (this was before the Battle Droid Factory scene as it didn't exist before Post Production). The first was Anakin and Padmé where taken to Count Dooku and while Padmé attempts to convince the count to free Obi-Wan, he tries to persuade her to join The Separists but she refuses so he lets The Geonosean (the termite aliens) leader Poggle the Lesser to take his procedure which leads to the next scene. The second is where Padmé and Anakin are put on trial where Poggle the Lesser have found them guilty of esponage and sentences them to death. Nute Gunray exclaims "Get on with it, I want to see her suffer!" while Count Dooku and the other leaders watch. Those scenes were cut both because they need to quicken the pace to get to the arena and since the Padmé and Dooku scene was done before the Obi-Wan and Dooku scene, you didn't know what happened to Obi-Wan before you got to the arena, plus there was a need for know about the Sith Lord in the Senate and Dooku attempts to perusade Obi-Wan to join him in order to destroy the Sith (similiar to how Vader tries to get Luke on his side to take down Sidious).

[@Ottawajames]

Oh just as a point of interest, on naboo, where Padme is from, the position of Queen is elected and has term limits. So in the last movie she was Queen Padme Amidala and also Senator Padme Amidala, but in this movie, she's no longer the queen she's just senator.

[@mevb]

I'm not sure if you realized that but Count Dooku is played by Sir Christopher Lee who played Saruman in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies (I recommend you to react to them as well). He was in over 200 movies and TV productions and before Star Wars and Tolkien trilogies, he played the title character in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster in Hammer's Horror Movies (in which Peter Cushing, who played Moff Tarkin in Epsiode IV: A New Hope, was Lee's friend and played Van Helsing in Dracula).

[@kennyhudson9201]

Dooku didn't want that Yoda lightsaber work. Nobody does once it's actually coming at them.

[@prico3358]

The clones are people, with individuality and personality. The only difference is the growth and that the clones are more obedient than regular people.

[@tofersiefken]

Somehow, in my head canon, those tick-bodied alien cows grazing in the meadow during Padme and Anikin's picnic, create helium gas instead of methane during the digestive process. That is why they look so fat and bloated but are bouncy and agile on those tiny little legs.

[@slimjimnyc270]

The other thing to notice is Hayden Christensen's acting. GL wanted HC to have a flat delivery because he wanted to foreshadow Darth Vader's mechanical nature.

[@mikenadj.j4355]

I think that was Hayden’s decision, not George. I’m not entirely sure though

[@slimjimnyc270]

​ @mikenadj.j4355 Hayden Christensen was an 18 year old up and coming actor (during principal photography). How many 18 y.o. would be brave enough to ignore George Lucas when he was directing them???

[@slimjimnyc270]

@mikenadj.j4355 Remember how stiff Natalie Portman's performances were during the Prequels? She was amazing in Leon the Professional (~12 yo) and eventually won an Academy Award for Black Swan. I love GL & I think he's a genius but he's writes clunky dialogue and is not that good of a director (of actors). Best regards.

[@markharris1125]

People say 'what 18 year old would stand up to George Lucas' but it's funny that Hayden continued to follow George's direction even when he made Jumper. (And for the record, I love Jumper and wish it got more attention!)

[@slimjimnyc270]

@markharris1125 Liked Jumper too. Bought the DVD when Blockbuster had their Used Movie Sale.

[@emdeeeff]

It was already established before Ep 1/2/3 came out that the Emperor's name was Palpatine (don't think it was stated in the movies, but it was in ancillary media). So, it's obviously intended that in Ep 1, the moment Padma lands and meets "Senator Palpatine", at least the pre-existing fans would immediately twig and be like "wait...". So e.g. when he maneuvers Padme into setting into the motion the events that lead to him being elevated to Chancellor...

[@EmmyReacts]

Oooh interesting!!

[@acgAdventures]

funny you mentioned Qui-Gon and the force ghost, but thats a story for another video. The clone boba fett is the same bounty hunter from the original trilogy. The clones are the precursor to the storm troopers, and its also a sensitive subject that they were born and bred for war and nothing else in the story as well since they are essentially an army of slaves. Anakin did not visit his mom in the ten years because the Jedi don't allow attachments. Another fun fact, Yoda was Dooku's master, Dooku was Qui- Gon's, Qui- Gon was Obi- Wan's and Obi- Wan is Anakin's. Boba Fett does appear in the clone wars tv show. Dooku wanted Obi- Wan to help him because its expected for Sith to try and overthrow their masters, as Yoda said, always two there are, a master and an apprentice.

[@markharris1125]

The biggest surprise for me was you not knwing the stormtroopers were people. Robots would have much better aim .. . 😁 When you have time, if you're picking films to watch, try a bit more Hayden Christensen and Samuel L Jackson in 'Jumper'. If you think flying between planets is amazing, imagine being able to teleport! I'm on holiday at the moment so I'm off to the beach to see if what Annie says about sand is true. (Who am I kidding? It's a UK summer and it's pouring with rain.) Great reaction, I really look forward to these.

[@EmmyReacts]

Haha! thats so true about stromtroopers, I hadn't really given it much thought I guess 😂 I hope your holiday wasn't too rainy!

[@prico3358]

Storm troopers are future soldiers using similar uniform. These are clones.

[@raybernal6829]

Awesomeness Emmy I'm really enjoying your reactions. ❤..... This is where the fun begins....😊

[@EmmyReacts]

Thanks so much! I'm really enjoying this series! 😊

[@nikot.9920]

Anakin did bring balance, from a certain point of view, you'll see that in Episode 3

[@foreverkent2225]

I suppose when you think about it, is boba really that different from a regular son, our kids are made from half our DNA already. And a lot of kids inherit personality traits, looks, or mannerisms from their parents.

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

"Amidala" is her political pseudonym. Padme is her birth name, and her surname is "Naberrie".

[@robertvandriest-harrington3651]

According to the books it was Darth Plagues that made the order and paid for the Army, by using a jedi of sorts for this!

[@MattSipka]

Bring the box of tissues for episode 3. You’re going to need them.

[@Ottawajames]

The voice actor that played jar jar Binks in the last movie actually got such a huge amount of vitriol and hate that he was going to make an attempt on his own life. He didn't, and in fact he went on to appear in another Star Wars series, as an actual actor and real person not a CGI creation. If I recall correctly it was the mandalorian series.

[@Gurpreet-w1t]

The movie is called attack of the clones so there are clones not stormtroopers they are completely different both of them

[@Waterford1992]

24:43 Jango Fett's armour and Jetpack

[@raybernal6829]

FYI ... Dooku is not really a good guy. He wants the same thing Emperor Palpatine wants. He was trying to get Obi-Wan to join him and not only destroy Palpatine but the Jedi as well. He like Qui-Gon didn't agree with how the Jedi and their ways...

[@Prince_the_One]

Dooku didn't mention anything about the Jedi, he said Quigon knew about the corruption of the Senate. Stop forcing your Jedi hate into the movie.

[@raybernal6829]

@@Prince_the_One jumped the shark there a bit... No way did I say I hated the Jedi.. they have there issues but not to the extreme

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

Anakin didn't come for his mother for 10 years because Obi-Wan didn't let him. That's why Anakin blames his master.

[@myfootballjesus]

your doing such a good job thanks for the videos , too bad the new star wars stuff from Disney has NO ROMANCE or playful fun and adventure

[@Muck006]

That's not "lava" ... it is molten metal. HINT: the COLOUR of that liquid shows the TEMPERATURE ... regardless of what kind of material it is.

[@iampeterpink]

Through Luke Darth Vader was redeemed and because of Luke Anakin came back and was able to fulfill the prophecy

[@the-wordplay-dojo]

I know you've already seen Ep 3 by the time of this comment, but you seemed a bit confused as to who was the good and bad guys in this movie. You predicted Darth Sidious is Palpatine / the Emperor. Palpatine and Dooku were each playing two roles. To the public, Chancellor Palpatine is the beloved leader of the Republic, and Count Dooku is a former Jedi Master, and Council Member, who got disillusioned by the Order, and left them to become the public leader of the Separatists. He got Jedi Sifo Dyas to place the order for the Clone Army, then later had him killed. Under his Sith name, he recruited Jango Fett as the clone template DNA. Privately, Darth Sidious, in his guise as Palpatine works with his apprentice Darth Tyrannus (Count Dooku) to start an ALL OUT Galactic war. The war itself is a JEDI TRAP. It's the end point in a 1000 year Sith plan. For 1000 years, the Jedi have believed the Sith extinct. They were not. They went from an ARMY, like the Jedi, to the Rule Of Two; one master, and one apprentice. They work from the shadows to strategically destabalise, to force the Republic to do something they don't want to, fuelling the fire for independence from the Republic. This provides the justification for a heavy military response from the Republic, which fuels the Separatist movement, which will lead to war. They control BOTH sides of the war. Previously, the Sith had diluted their power by becoming too much like the Jedi Order. By returning to the Rule Of Two, it allowed both Sith to fully harness the Dark Side, and restore long forgotten abilities. The Jedi have spent the previous 1000 years training future generations of Jedi to fight an extinct generation of Sith. The Sith are MUCH more powerful than the Jedi can possibly imagine at this point. In Ep 3, as Yoda is fighting Sidious in the Senate Chamber, Yoda has an epiphany, that they have lost. He knows that they have no choice but to survive, regroup, and go into exile. It's the only way the Jedi may survive. The war was only the final stage in the Sith masterplan. Sidious was the guy in the hot seat to bring it to fruition, and execute it. Forcing the Jedi into becoming Generals and Comanders on the front lines, leading Republic Forces on a battlefield in a war, goes against their very principles. They are PEACEKEEPERS. They are conditioned to try and NOT fight, if possible. The longer the war goes, the more Jedi die, the easier it will be to deal with survivors after Order 66.

[@rnkelly36]

One thing a number of new viewers to Star Wars have is they over think everything. Star Wars was created for younger people thus the stories are meant to be more simple than more adult dramas. Lucas was always big on keeping everything understandable for the 10 to 15 year olds while attracting late teens to early 20s. Reactors tend to be older adults that are use to more complex stories. Star Wars it not complex at all. Only people in the fandom have made things more complex by adding their own head canon as well as some of the books and other things that were created but not part of the storyline.

[@EmmyReacts]

That is a really good point! I noticed it myself after this movie that I was probably overthinking and to remember that these are kids movies 😂

[@WilliamMoses355]

Plenty of "simple kid stories" have depth and complexity for people willing think about them on that level. Pinocchio, The Lion King and The Last Airbender come to mind. They don't appeal to kids because they're simple, but because they show complex themes in terms kids can grok.

[@rnkelly36]

@@WilliamMoses355 Maybe the word simple bothers you but these are not the Homeric Hymns. The Last Airbender in fact is written for the age progression of a normal 10 to 11 year old until 15 or 16 by the end of the series. Korra is written for the late teenager age group. During story creation you have to target your writing to whatever group you are trying to program your show for. Star Wars was always written as simple moral questions. Good vs bad. Dark vs light. It only gets more complicated as the view grows up and tries to age what they are viewing with them. The moral lessons are quite simple to anyone that has read or understood some of the basic Greek tales. Lucas knew what he wanted back in the day and pretty much the people creating SW content stuck with it. Fantasy programming focused at kids that younger adults could watch. The only thing is we kids grew up and we try to grow the show with us and it has created a toxic fan culture because of it. We have to continue to thing of SW as a kids enjoyment. Its nice that they have thrown us a bone from time to time but Lucas never wanted things like Andor or Rogue One. They were too serious in his view and missed the roller coaster ride enjoyment that he was trying to copy from the movie serials of the 40s and 50s.

[@Ottawajames]

Do you plan on watching The Clone Wars series? Timeline wise, the entirety of the series happens between this movie and the next. I'm certainly not suggesting that you watch 8 seasons of show and a movie before EP 3, but I do highly recommend watching it. If you do, I'd recommend watching 3-4 episodes per reaction video. Also, if you do watch it, there's a specific order to watch them. When it comes to the 6 movies I recommended watching them in release order, but specifically for the clone Wars series and movie I recommend watching them in chronological order. So it bounces around and the story is not told linearly, so if you do react to clone wars, I would recommend doing a Google search for the order in which to watch the episodes and movies, you have to watch like three or four or five episodes, before the movie, and sometimes you'll be watching an episode from season 2 in the middle of watching season 1 for example.

[@IggyStardust1967]

Emmy has said that she will delve into the shows after watching all of the movies. I support that decision, and I also back your "3-4 episodes per video", although, I would say to go with full story arcs, and when none are present, go with that.

[@Prince_the_One]

Please god no.

[@Ottawajames]

Hayden Christensen is the guy that plays Anakin in this movie. And he's a farmer now in rural Ontario Canada 😂

So whats so funny about that? Stop making fun of the farmers.

[@tofersiefken]

I hope that you will consider following your reaction to Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith with the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+. It's a chronologically natural progression of Obi-Wan's story and I really enjoyed it, you might too.

[@adampare8088]

All your questions are answered in epi 3.

[@robertvandriest-harrington3651]

Palpatine already staerts to groom Anakin!

[@IggyStardust1967]

Okay, Emmy, I'm here, on time, and ready to give you some things you may have missed. Again, spoiler free for what's to come. OH! Before I forget.... at this point, go in "timeline order" for the movies. So, after Episode III, would be Solo: A Star Wars Story, then Rogue One, then re-watch the OT (yes, I will be there for it) for the additional context. Then you can go on to the Sequel Trilogy... after those (and many people WILL hate on them, just a warning)... you can go back and do the series' in timeline order. I'll post it at the bottom (or, if I have to split the comment due to buffer limits, there). 1:45 - I *REALLY* don't want to spoil anything... but the prophecy was "The Chosen One will bring BALANCE to The Force." So, keep that in mind. I can't explain it now... but I will later on. 4:55 - She was in another movie at a young age: "Leon: The Professional". Great movie! Well worth a watch sometime. 5:40 - 10 years have passed since Episode I, so Anakin would now be 19, Padme would be 24. 12:20 - While this is never stated in canon, they are basically focused plasma beams. Similar to lightsabers, but guns. 14:00 - The first rule of hiring an assassin: Kill the assassin if they get caught. 16:10 - Anakin in 19 years old, and has been told to repress his feelings, while "teenage hormones" are running rampant through his system and emotions. As much crap as Hayden got for this movie, he was spot on with acting like a repressed teenager. 18:50 - "Truly wonderful, the mind of a child, is." Yoda spitting FACTS! Children have not yet been programmed to think within a box. I'm lucky, I learned to burn the box when I was young, so I still think outside of it. ;) 21:00 - No spoilers (okay, maybe a very minor one), but you'll learn more about Syfo Dias later on, if you continue this journey. 22:30 - Okay, disturbing real life fact: We humans have successfully cloned animals in the past. Googe "Dolly the Sheep" for that story. Also, there was a MASSIVE debate about the potential of cloning humans (before this movie came out). IIRC, there was an international treaty that banned human cloning in our world. But who knows.... it could have happened. 23:05 - No. These are Clone Troopers. MUCH more dangerous than Stormtroopers (who were either conscripts or volunteers). 24:30 - Remember what I said about paying attention to the dialogue..... this is important information. 40:00 - Notice how things get VERY clouded here. Shades of gray are introduced into the equation. Remember this line from Return of the Jedi, and keep it in your head: "You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to, depend greatly on our own point of view." Also, in the real world, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." 45:55 - Remember what I just said above. This feeling you have is intentional. 56:00 - I have said it many times, "Sometimes, the biggest lie you can tell, is the truth." Notice they don't believe what Dooku said, even though it IS true. So they disregard it as a lie.

Dooku wanted Obiwans help so he could take Sidiouses place because that's the way of the Sith always plotting to take over...
