SHE'S READING THE THRAWN TRILOGY!!!! gotta love that!

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

People suggesting Mandalorian as if it doesn't have Clone Wars spoilers in it, lol.

[@kayden2119]

There are two sides of the star wars fandom. The people who only watch live action stuff and the people who watch pretty much everything. Most of the time the people who only watch live action do not even realize what they are missing out on so they do not realize its even spoilers or out of order.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

@@kayden2119 I'm saying that because she's literally watching Clone Wars.

[@kayden2119]

@@willfanofmanyii3751 I know I agree with you. I am just explaining how they are thinking when recommending stuff that has spoilers lol

[@thebatmanbadass30000]

The first season is okay with spoilers tho isn’t it?

[@kayden2119]

@@thebatmanbadass30000 No point in skipping ahead without finishing the shows that came first though just to watch one season.

[@matthewcronin2325]

The sad thing about the Dark Side is that in order to keep growing in power you have to inflict fear and pain on people, that’s why Vader is so overtly cruel and evil now.

[@Rocket1377]

Exactly. It's the same reason why he slaughtered all the Jedi (including younglings) in the temple. Anakin decided that he needed Dark Side powers to save Padme. That escalated into needing that power to defeat Sidious.

[@mrwatermelo50]

Very nice to see one new fan not only to react but to actual deep dive and take an interest. We will watch your way with great interest

[@gamingeagle19]

We're all down bad for Ewan Meg. There's no resisting him.

[@cmrobbins88]

Hayden is the sweetest person ever. I met him at FanExpo Boston last year and he was kind and excited to be with the fans, and I could barely say everything I wanted to tell him in the short time I had to meet him. But I shook his hand and that was the coolest thing ever. I’m very thankful he was a part of Star Wars and still is.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

The Chosen One featurette for maximum feels.

[@onemoreminute0543]

These BTS documentaries for the first six SW films are absolutely gold. So much content, so much info packed into them.

[@foreverkent2225]

Yes! Exactly, qui gon was the father anakin needed. Palpatine was so easily able to manipulate and groom anakin because he wasn’t getting that love, support, and positive reinforcement anywhere else for the longest time. Not to knock Obi wan, like you said, he did the best he could, but he wasn’t ready for that mentor role yet. If qui gon had lived, trained anakin, and been his mentor I fully believe he wouldn’t have fallen.

[@OptmiusPrime114]

By the way, as a suggestion, you should react to a Star Wars documentary called “Empire of Dreams: The Making of the Star Wars Trilogy”. It’s very cool stuff.

[@benjaminfoltz3493]

I hope you will do a book talk on the Thawn trilogy. It is one of my favorite books and it introduced one of my favorite characters, Mara Jade. She has a great arc.

[@benschultz1784]

Mara, Thrawn, Rukh, Tarron, even Joruus C'Baoth are well written characters

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

The Thrawn novels in no way inspired Lucas to make the Prequels. The Prequels were already being planned the moment Lucas started production of Empire Strikes Back, just that he waited for film technology to advance further to match the scope of his ideas.

[@theunknownuser9609]

Correct, he only took the name Coruscant from it.

[@Progger11]

Timothy Zahn invented Coruscant. Let's not pretend like he didn't.

[@squashgaming9279]

I dont think he meant the thrawn novels inspired the ideas in the prequels. It’s just that star wars hype had really died down and the thrawn novels revived it and star wars became very popular again. I think george probably saw that and was more motivated to make new films

[@kaygee2121]

Oh girl.... My best friend and I spent the summer of 1999 (I was 13) going to see The Phantom Menace in theater. Subsequently, I totally fell in love with Obi-Wan/Ewan McGregor, and couldn't stop drooling over him all summer. My first Hollywood crush. 💖

[@supergirlvideoclips894]

That's it.. you have to watch Obiwan Kenobi disney+ show and DC - Birds of Prey movie. Ewan is amazing in both

[@Gojirawars03]

Ewan is pretty much the only thing good in either of those, lmao.

[@firecat4529]

17:42 Can also recommend watching "Tales of the Jedi" (after clone wars) cause that goes more into his story.

[@benschultz1784]

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series on D+ is good and doesn't really spoil anything from the Clone Wars.

[@firecat4529]

I can really recommend watching the 6 Star Wars Old Republic cinematics "Return", "Hope", "Deceived", "Sacrifice", "Betrayed", "Disorder". All together they are about half an hour long.

[@HobGungan]

Honestly, if you can find it anywhere, I really think you should watch and react to "The Beginning". It was the BTS documentary on The Phantom Menace that was included in the original DVD release of that movie. I don't know if any modern disc release or D+ has it, but I think it's on KZbin as well. It's such a great look into that film and even though haters pull pieces from it to make fun of it only shows just how thoroughly they don't get it. It's one of my favorite BTS documentaries and helps me appreciate my all-time favorite movie even more.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Meg! 🎬 I love STAR WARS documentaries, too. Even as a kid, the documentaries showed me that as much as I enjoyed the tales, they were also crafts, made lovingly by people. Both ideas merged to enhance my head canon as well as fueled the drive to be creative in my own life.

[@Cope69]

You should react to the other / deleated version of Anakin vs Obiwan on Mustafar. Some of the moves they're training for in this clip is apart of that version. Like the defend behind the back from Anakin.

[@earendilthemariner5546]

Cant wait for the Ahsoka show, kenobi show, the rest of clone wars, and the mandalorian reactions And then Cal Kestis' games

[@LeChaunce]

Meg, if you like Ewan, you should really check out the film Down With Love.

[@stevebragg4256]

You gotta watch the Kenobi series! It is set 10 years after EP3. Halfway between the movies EP 3 & EP4.

[@Dave_Chrome]

they don't kidnap the children, the kidnapping children is a Halo thing LOL

[@richardbeaton7324]

There's the making of nearly all of the Star Wars films on KZbin like an hour long one about the making of the originals and the prequals.

[@barbarjinx3802]

Obi-Wan was destined to fail with Anakin. He viewed anakin as a little brother who in turn, viewed obi wan as a father. Obi is the best. Smart charming sexy and powerful. Of course anakin was jealous. Obi was arrogant. You’ll see it more in the clone wars but he gets his.

[@j0hn00]

Notice this. Anakin was a slave, his entire life, until his last moments. He was a slave on tattooine, he was a slave to the Jedi order, he was a slave to his emotions. He was a slave to Palpatine. His only free moments were his very last moments with Luke. "I must save you, father." "You already have." Luke freed him from his slavery. He was finally free for the first time in his life. He was ready to go. As his mother said to him in AotC as she laid eyes on her son for the last time, "I am now complete." Anakin laid his true eyes on his son for the last time, he was now complete, and let go of it all. This is why he was able to become a Force ghost. He finally learned to let go of all of his negative emotions and became a being of the Light

[@mariebourgot4949]

Thanks for the video Meg! :)

[@Supadrumma441]

13:50 Theres a reason the music playing in the fight between Maul, Obi and Qui is called "duel of the fates" They are LITERALLY duelling for the fate of Anakin Skywalker. If Qui hadn't died he would've trained Anakin differently and I doubt he would've allowed the Chancelor to have any influence over him at all. Sideous actually feared Qui Gon Jinn of all the Jedi he was the only one that was acting like a proper Jedi.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

Anakin's major problem, from my understanding, wasn't just that he "had a hard time letting go of things" as George Lucas was saying. There was also the fact that, from everything I've seen of him, he had a very bad habit of blaming himself for things that were beyond his control and weren't his fault.

[@HellBrYnger]

tbh if was ever going into cosplay i'd save money and get Sev's armor (of delta squad)

[@nightwingman666]

That is the tragedy. Obi-Wan was forced to take Anakin a child he deemed ‘dangerous’ on the wishes of his master and while he did care for Anakin in the end you don’t feel that pain for someone who fell so far Obi-Wan’s initial faith in Anakin was not the same as the faith Qui-Gon had. Also on the subject of novels I also recommend ‘Brotherhood’ it shows how Obi-Wan and Anakin go from teacher and student in AOTC to the brothers who would die for one another in Clone Wars and ROTS.

[@ReformingRegent]

When it comes to Yoda, he is wise, but sometimes he doesn’t understand people’s emotions. The advice he gave to Anakin in ep. 3 is horrible advice. Anakin was afraid of losing the people he cares about, and Yoda tells him to not miss or grieve them. I know Yoda is hundreds of years old and I’m sure he’s lost people he cared about many times, but not everyone has his lifespan. It reminds me of something Geralt said to Regis in the Witcher 3: Blood and Wine expansion, “Man who’s got a million crowns to spend can’t possibly understand one who’s only got twenty.”

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

May the force be with you

[@jorgebernal5812]

You should totally read the Revenge of the Sith book. It just adds so many layers to the movie and it genuinely made me cry Edit: should've watched the rwst of the video to hear that you've already read it😅. Hope to see a review for it!

[@ToonRaider]

Which run of Darth Vader are you reading? The 2015 one? the 2017 one by Charles Soule is really good and will go a long way for helping you and the Padme thing.

[@slothkng]

this was with the dvd boxset of the originals (updated) after episode 3 came out

[@mathies3598]

I think you'll be able to watch the new series The Acolyte along with the rest of us next month. its set even further in the past so it shouldnt spoil anything you havent seen yet and it will further set up how the jedi council lost its way and became so dogmatic

[@DovahFett]

It's a common misconception that the Jedi Order kidnapped children from their families for training. I don't know where it started but it's not true. When the Jedi would locate a child that was strong in the Force, they would try to persuade the parents of said child into handing them over to the Order for training. They did not do this through intimidation or force, but by explaining to the parents the good that their child could do for the galaxy if they were properly trained, and if the family lived on some backwater outer-rim world, just being able to send their children to live in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant would have been very tempting. I think some people watched a certain episode of The Clone Wars and took away the completely wrong lesson.

[@lctrcgblts]

i am sat here like this stuff is cool and all but i can not wait for you to play knights of the old republic 1 and 2 and get your teeth into that lore. i personally love that stuff more than the actual movies and tv stuff

[@BaqiRants]

please watch the kenobi series i think you will enjoy it

[@tammykolu1242]

She gonna like the ashoka show

[@Jojo.co3]

In the old republic, the Jedi were much more strong in hand-to-hand combat

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Sad part about Grievous being so bad is it's Dooku's fault. Dooku had an attack destroy his family and damaged his body, and manipulated Grievous into believing the Jedi did it.

[@StarkRG]

Of all the Jedi Masters we see, I think Yoda might be one of the most open to new ideas (after Qui-Gon and a few nutters). They're all extremely locked into the Jedi dogma, of course, but Yoda does, for example, accept the possibility that the Jedi archive could have been tampered with.

[@TheParez]

Liam Neeson is Irish, Ewan McGregor is Scottish... Coincidence?!?

[@AnthonySmith-bj9mo]

hi Meg

[@vetarlittorf1807]

You should read the Republic Commando novels. Delta Squad is basically the TMNT of the Star Wars universe.

[@Adanu191]

I've been meaning to look at those. Which novels should I start with?

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@Adanu191 I'd personally start with the video game. It's a short one, but it gets the personalities clear. Basically, Boss is the level-headed leader, Scorch is the funny one, Fixer is the tech-guy and Sev is the hothead. But the novels in order are Hard Contact, Triple Zero, True Colors and Order 66. Then there is one Imperial Commando novel.

[@Adanu191]

@@vetarlittorf1807 I remember playing the republic commando game when it came out but I don't remember a thing about it. Might as well go back first.

[@triden1172]

They 100% don't kidnap children. That's a popular fanon, but it wasn't true in either legends or canon.

[@ZeroOhNine]

Please watch The Chosen One featurette and the Love featurette as well. Some really, really great moments in these behind the scenes videos. 🥰🙏🏻
