I don’t care what people say. This movie is a guilty pleasure.

[@CaesiusX]

Like what you like, no one else can tell you otherwise. When I watch the prequels, I can only really enjoy them if I watch along with the RiffTrax audio track.

[@neffariouspanda]

Guilty nothing. I love it. No shame.

[@fuuuuuuuuuckyouprerna]

@@HEYBERT1984 i sense a revolution

[@tehdipstick]

Kinda funny how you asked when Anakin was going to use the Force during the pod-racing scene. He is actually using the Force throughout the race, just without knowing it, allowing him to see into future by a fraction of a second, allowing him to predict certain things and react accordingly. It's what makes him such a good pilot.

[@pattheman3686]

Fun Fact - Throughout the whole race you can see Qui Gon placing his hand on Smi's shoulder, right?? Well, he's actually using the Force to keep her at least somewhat calmer. Otherwise she'd be a complete emotional wreck. It's tha same thing he did to Jar Jar in the boat when he tells Jar Jar to "RELAX" to which Obi Wan says "you over Did it."

[@adventmemory2247]

....huh, the more you know! Actually makes more sense!

[@Rocket1377]

Liam Neeson wanted there to be a romantic connection between the two characters, but George Lucas said no.

[@miekelei2761]

Adam Harris and at least in the initial scripts they were supposed to have an affair. Dunno when they cut that off from the film, but in one the ads for the phantom menace you can see a scene that didn’t make it into the final cut, where Shmi puts her hand on top of Qui-Gon’s. Also I believe they cast Pernilla August as Shmi because of her chemistry with Liam Neeson.

[@miekelei2761]

[@AstroNerdBoy]

@@dragerdet I have, multiple times. And none of those questions are answered. The writers brought Maul back 'cause he was a cool villain. They simply decided to brush over the details and we're just supposed to accept he's alive and on the other side of the galaxy 'cause "reasons." 😉

[@karlluigi1987]

6:38 he's such a GOOD BOY ME: Breathing Heavily (imperial march background)

[@92Beyo]

Highly underrated and overhated movie

[@MutterNonsense234]

The comedy, I can take or leave. For me, the appeal of Jar Jar is just how hard he tries despite his constant clumsiness. He's an example of someone who is pure of heart but not a natural hero, and I always appreciate him for that. I suppose I did grow up with the Clone Wars, which shows him having a few more successes than he does in the movies, so he's not as irredeemable to me. But still. I mean, yes, he skews the tone of the movie with his presence, but that just makes it feel more real to me. Not everyone is going to fit perfectly into their roles. And I've never seen any other story where someone accidentally commands part of an army with any success. So it's interesting. I never liked how everyone seems to universally decide he's not worth anything. Other, more evil characters deserve your hatred, or your pity, far more than he does.

[@Aewon84]

Pure of heart? He's so obviously a Sith Lord!

[@magnes1410]

Well said. I'm not a fan of comedy but I don't mind Jar Jar as much as some people. He has his place in the story and without him Jedi would not find Gungan's city and there would be no peace between Gungans and people from Naboo.

[@ss2gora0]

That's a good way of putting it. I personally liked him, but of course that's just me!

[@GrimmEdvan]

Obi wan Said in episode 4, that to his experience, there is no such thing as luck and he have meet Jar Jar. Think about that next time you see Jar Jar. It was never fools luck, it was all deliberate.

[@hexogramd8430]

NinjaChris77 how does it feel being wrong

[@bforthigh1617]

Most star wars fans agree that the release order is the best. One reason why it’s better is how the audience at first perceives Vader as a menacing evil character, but then find out that he’s a tragic figure who was a good guy. It’s a lot like Snape from Harry Potter.

[@user-lv7ph7hs7l]

@@bforthigh1617 Never thought of it that way but it's true. Snape's story is a lot more powerful after you've hated him for years. Well these days people watch the movies in a day so a few hours at least?... I had to read them when they came out and I remember the endless discusssions on how we could have been fooled by him after half blood prince.

[@hellowhat890]

9:04 Uh that's not how the force works. XD With training, the Force in a sense helps heighten one's senses and gives them special buffs. Earlier in the film, Qui-Gon comments on how Anakin can "see things before they happen," which explains his unusually quick reflexes. He notes how that's a Force trait and if he had been identified in the Republic, the jedi would have taken him. Anakin is also the only "human" who can podrace. This is because the other species in the race have other qualities and traits that are better than a human being. Everything that Anakin does in the race is through skill alone with the Force assisting him as Passive ability rather than an Active ability. At this point in time, Anakin can't use the Force but he has the means to because of the Midi-Chlorians. After he gets trained, then he can use it actively.

[@Longshanks1690]

Dammit, I was hoping I could see your reaction at 14:19 to when the Gungan named Captain Tarpals says, "Ouch time!".

[@pattheman3686]

I don't remember if there was a scene in episode 3 like this but George said he wanted to do something Epic without the signature John Williams Score amping up the scene. So instead he focused on amping up the sound of the race by giving an abundance of sounds from everywhere. The pilots, the Roar of the engines, the collisions, even the sounds of the air as they passed in front of the camera. The whole scene was very Sound sensitive. Only at the last minute does George add music the help the scene. George does something similar in Ep. 2, but I'll wait until you guys watch it to talk more about it.

[@62jacco]

Jane watches star wars yes please.

[@pattheman3686]

Jar Jar isn't quite Full Cg Jane. There IS an actor there for the others to reference. The Voice actor is actually in a ver basic rudimentary costume with a molded cap to represent where Jar Jar's head should be. So the actors ARE actually looking at Jar Jar's real head; is just a foam copy that doesn't move.

I'd prefer weilding a single edged sword in each hand than a double-edge if I thought double was cooler. Think about it. Darth Maul could have decapitated himself with one side whilst sweeping for his opponent's legs with the other side. Double-edged limits your range of motion.

[@Peregrin3]

A lot of people try to defend the fact that Rey is mary sue by pointing out all stuff Anakin does in episode 1 saying he's a mary sue too but you actually compare the two it's actually not the same at all. Everything that Anakin does with the force is passive or instinctual and doesn't require any specific Jedi techniques, for example when he is piloting the pod racer or the starfighter he is letting the force guide him without even knowing he's doing it. On the other hand Rey is almost always using active abilities like force push\pull, force levitation, force suggestion or jedi mind trick, force heal, force lightning, etc, and most of these are master techniques which require years of training but she can do them all without training. Conclusion, there is no comparison.

[@Nagranddan]

The podracing games based off this movie were EXCELLENT (but also stressful to play)

[@brettsalazar1886]

“Which was killed? The master or the apprentice?” Actually neither, maul was just an assassin. Darth sidious was the apprentice and his master was still alive during the events of phantom menace.

[@ppem1988]

He clearly says "this is my apprentice"

[@protector_of_the_realms]

that's legends, in canon as far as I am aware of it's never stated when Plagueis died. Very well could turn out that they use something very similar to what happened in legends and Plagueis only died in TPM but as of now it's unknown so Maul could still be an apprentice or an assassin

Darth Maul did survive, but hes not in any more of the prequel movies, hes only in Episode I... To see what happened to Maul after Episode I you have to watch the animated series "Star Wars: Clone Wars" and it's follow up "Star Wars: Rebels:" Both those shows cover the rest of Darth Maul's story

I have a friend who studied fencing for a couple years after the prequels had come out. He said it gave him a new respect for the original trilogy's saber fights. The prequels have beautifully choreographed fights that are fun to watch, but apparently the original trilogy's fights are technically very good. It just doesn't look as fun to watch because it's more like real sword fighting. Regarding JarJar, I'll always defend the idea of the character. The original trilogy had a varied group of characters who could provide both serious and comedic moments. Without Jar Jar, this movie had none. Outside Jar Jar, the only joke made was "You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short." Jar Jar was needed. He was just executed poorly. Also, I maintain the Gungans are an awesome race. Even changed some friends' minds when I played one in the Star Wars RPG.

The movie does not explicitly state it, but Anakin is 9 and Padme is 14. Only a 5 year age difference, but at that point it's significant and creepy. Becomes less creepy when it's an 18 year old and 23 year old.

[@Verebazs]

Most of the cities and landmarks are actually not CGI. It's an annoyingly common misconception that the prequels were all CGI, don't believe it. Otto Gunga? Miniature. Theed? Miniature. Corruscant? Miniature. Mon Espa? An entire village set, still visitable in the Sahara! Theed street scenes? Shot on location in Toscana, Italy. The gungans, Watto, Sebulba and some of the other pod racer pilots are pretty much the only purely CG things in this movie. Everything else was a mixtature or practical and computer wizardry, which why this 20-year-old movie still knocks pretty much every MCU movie flat-on-it's-ass in terms of visuals.

[@charlesisbell6561]

Scrolled through for a good min I can’t believe no one said this, sidious isn’t currently the Sith Lord in charge he is in fact the apprentice when you guys talk about in the movie at least he still is, maul isn’t a sith well he wasn’t supposed to be he was just going to be an assassin, sidious does however kill his master sometime while this movie takes place promoting both of them, lord plagueis was his name

What you guys might not know is the original plan for Jar Jar Bings was that he was a Sith Lord and he was acting stupid.

Unfortunately they decided it was too dark and too complicated and changed it completely. A missed opportunity if you ask me.

[@pemberliegh]

This is an odd order to watch in. I mean, I'm curious to see how it goes, but I feel like this removes the most dramatic twists and turns. I know one of those "reveals" is pretty much impossible since everyone knows, but I've found there is another reveal that often really surprises people watching for the first time nowadays that is usually still a big reveal in either Episode 6, for original order, or episode 3, for machete order, but that won't be the case here since this will just unfold chronologically. Anyway, I'm interested to see how these reactions go since I've never actually seen anyone watch this way.

[@pemberliegh]

@MegaJf16 Interesting. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Now that they are already thru, I'm not worried about spoilers... I was thinking about the original trilogy Luke/Leia reveal that would no longer be a surprise if you watch 1/2/3 first. For me the prequels weren't boring bc I was genuinely interested in knowing what happened that led Anakin to becoming Vader. So while I thought some of the writing and directing wasn't as good, I definitely wasn't bored. But I'm glad to hear that it was really suspenseful for you since you went in blind from Episode 1! That's cool. :D

I have since watched about a billion more reacts. Some release, some machete, some chrono. And you know what i found? It doesn't actually matter which you choose. All the bs arguing about the "right" way to watch is just that... bs opinions. Even Lucas himself. The truth is, no matter which they choose, they get it. They have a great time on the journey. They become fans. It truly does not matter.

It just gives them a slightly different experience. It all has its pros and cons. And fans are also free to recommend newcomers to watch it out of order if they feel like it, I just really disagree it's a good idea, oh well

True, how very true. Then to see hoe he went out in Star wars rebels????? THAT SHIT INSULTED ME TO THE CORE. I was SO FUCKING PISSED, I stopped watching and had to watch the rest of the episode days later. Only TWO other movies made me stop watching because I could FEEL the writers and director telling me I'm stupid. One was Mortal Kombat: Annihilation; the other was M.Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender.

Why was it bad the way he went out?

[@pattheman3686]

@@jacobhogan3208 After the betrayal By his master, after surviving being cut in half, having his droid lower body twisied and contorted by the dathomyri, finally getting a decent pair of legs, surviving all the way to the "Rebel"s series only to have Obi Wan kill him with ONE FUCKING STRIKE!?!?!?!?!?!?!? No dodging, no parrying, no sequence of any kind. Just two guys rush forward too fast to see, And Darth Maul Collapses after they stand there for a FULL MINUTE!!! BULL FUCKING SHIT Darth Maul is better than THAT.

Personally i liked the way maul died because obi wan went into qui gon's stance darth mual realized this and tried to do to obi wan what he did to qui gon also what did you expect a massive fight with old obi wan it was kinda obvious it was gonna be quick

[@pattheman3686]

@WillFanofMany A Duel, by definition is the exchange of maneuvers between two or more individuals. NO maneuvers were exchanged i that sequence. Just a lunge and an end. It doesn't qualify as a duel and it's still shit. Anakin was in FAR worse mental state than Maul and he still schooled Obi Wan. Obi Wan was just not as arrogant in that fight so he noticed his chance and took it. If Anakin had not been so "high on himself" Obi Wan would have lost. And Darth Maul is at "least" as good as Anakin was.

Are you going to watch the other two prequel movies?

[@LikeJamzh]

13:00 yes indeed!

[@LeethLee1]

Usually I'd be all like 'yeah do Original Trilogy first'. But in this case I honestly don't mind keeping it simple. It is better to just go through the episodes of the story for Jane first time watching :D

[@GTKreations]

I have no shame when I tell someone I like this movie.
