STAR WARS EPISODE III – REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005) REACTION
Added 2024-09-02 08:39:53 +0000 UTCComments
Nah, I'm with you gecko. First of all, this isn't a competition. The fact that the Genndy series isn't part of the current canon doesn't invalidate its inherent quality. You can miss me with that fandom classist elitism. If something is good, it's good. And the Genndy series is excellent. The fights in it are second to none in anything else in the franchise. It goes hard like nothing else before or since. It's a series from the creator of mother flippin' SAMURAI JACK. That alone is reason to check it out. Never mind the fact that it still contains important plot points like Asaaj's first meeting with Dooku or Anakin's Knighting ceremony which were never addressed in TCW or anywhere else. And why is that? Because when they were making TCW they did consider the Genndy series part of the canon and so they intentionally didn't cover the same ground twice. They did eventually step on its toes especially toward the end but the two are still way more compatible than not. And the fact of the matter is we would never have gotten TCW without the massive popularity of Genndy's series. Straight up. Its success lead George to decide Star Wars had a future in animation and gave the execs at Cartoon Network the confidence to take a chance and greenlight TCW. So it deserves ALL of the respect in the world and I always highly recommend it as a companion piece alongside TCW.

2024-10-04 04:29:24 +0000 UTCFun fact, one of the shock troopers that found Anakin on Mustafar with Palpatine was Thire, who accompanied yoda in the first episode of clone wars.

2024-09-05 19:28:11 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to Anakin's fall, keep in mind that he was very disillusioned with the Jedi Order by this point too. Padme was the focus but not the sole reason for his turn to the Darkside.
Derik Windischman
2024-09-05 17:04:40 +0000 UTCToo bad, that stuff isnt canon. They've been watching the REAL clone wars all along and Grievous was coughing since then In Lucas' mind he made Grievous cough to show that the technology for cybernetic enhancements isnt quite there yet compared to how advanced it is for Vader later on, also to show how Grievous was willing to sacrifice his body and health for the sake of revenge and more power I choose to believe him, after all its HIS cough in the movie
Aitipse Amelie
2024-09-05 16:35:09 +0000 UTC@9:40 Anakin catching the red lightsaber without looking is one of the coldest moments in Lucas' Star Wars films for me Still wish we saw him as Vader with a red lightsaber just once before he got burned. The shot of him walking with the clones into the temple with a red lightsaber would have been even more badass.
Jyn Jilly
2024-09-05 06:17:06 +0000 UTCHey guys if you wonder why grievous was coughing like that You should watch CLONE WARS by Genndy Tartakovsky It's a very good mini series
gecko Petco
2024-09-05 04:10:04 +0000 UTCIf you looked carefully when the Separtist leaders were gathered at a meeting on Geonosia in Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. There is a hologram diagram of the Death Star. The Separtist started designing it and the Empire took it over. It was always Palpatine and maybe Plaguis behind the death star but from before the clone wars.

2024-09-05 00:47:30 +0000 UTC@Kasen Part 2 Grief can make someone shut down emotionally — but it doesn’t always. And even when it does, it’s not always permanent. Leia lost her entire planet. Her mother, her father, everyone. She lost more people than Luke could imagine. Did that turn her into a hermit who quit? No. Do you think Leia is being written unrealistically? Or one-dimensionally? It’s prefectly possible for someone to continue being proactive in spite of their grief. It’s not unrealistic at all. Avatar Aang lost the entire Air Nomads. Did that make him stop? No. It is at this point that people will usually point the finger at J.J. Abrams and say that Rian had to make Luke quit because that’s the only way to explain J.J.’s movie. Thus, they will say that Rian wrote the best story he could based on J.J.’s premise. I have several arguments against this but I’ll leave them out for now because my comment is already too long. So I’ll close with this: Luke conflates ‘helping Leia’ with ‘bringing back the Jedi with all their flaws.’ Thus, every time Rey asks for his help, Luke responds by listing the problems with the Jedi — and then uses that stuff as an excuse not to help his sister. Rey conflates the two as well, as she says “We need the Jedi Order back.” I consider this to be a fallacy. Helping Leia and opposing evil today does not mean you have to bring the Jedi back tomorrow. And bringing the Jedi back does not mean you have to bring their flaws back. Forget about the Jedi Order. Can YOU do something please, Luke? You have skills barely anyone else has — except the people leading the bad guys. I don’t have a problem with questioning or criticizing or calling out the Jedi — in fact please do. There are a lot of mistakes to grow from. But it’s a little absurd to use the flaws of the Jedi as an excuse not to do the right thing. Also, Luke is a hypocrite. He criticizes the Jedi by saying “At the height of their power, they allowed Darth Sidious to rise, create the Empire, and wipe them out.” Let’s pretend for a moment that this statement is accurate — Luke is arguing the Jedi are bad because they stood idly by while evil rose. And yet Luke’s goal is to be better than them by……standing idly by while Snoke rises? How is that any better?

2024-09-05 00:37:53 +0000 UTC@Kasen Part 1 I told myself I wasn’t going to get into a debate, but I have to step in here. Apologies for the long comment. My problem with Luke is not that he experiences hardship or is three dimensional - but that he acts as though he doesn’t care. There is a very common argument I’ve heard from people that TLJ-haters only dislike Luke because they want a one-dimensional cardboard cut out. No, we would have been fine with Dumbledore. Dumbledore was not one-dimensional. He had a past full of mistakes and he had to live with that stuff. He had conversations with Harry about the mistakes he made regarding Grindelwald and his sister. It even got him killed, since he put on the Ring to try to apologize to his sister and the Ring poisoned him. But when it came to opposing evil or protecting people and things he cared about, he was still proactive. He was going around the wizarding world investigating Voldemort’s weaknesses. It really gets on my nerves how people argue that Luke can’t be proactive and three dimensional — that the only way for him to be proactive is for him to be a videogame character. This is ludicrous. It’s really weird how no one thinks grown Daniel LaRusso in Cobra Kai is one dimensional - even though he’s proactive. It’s really weird how no one thinks Jake Sully in Avatar 2 is one dimensional - even though he’s proactive. It’s really weird how no one thinks grown Harry Potter himself in Cursed Child is one dimensional - even though he’s proactive. Luke Skywalker can absolutely be flawed and emotionally vulnerable as well — just as all those people are. It’s his refusal to be proactive that’s the problem. Even Logan was proactive. Logan might seem similar to Luke in TLJ on the surface — but Logan actually cared. He was going out of his way to protect Charles & Laura the entire movie.

2024-09-05 00:37:33 +0000 UTCYoah checked the spreadsheet and they have seen the clone wars finale arc. They got to be absolutrly jumping now. Can't wait to see those reactions.
Jaylight
2024-09-04 21:33:11 +0000 UTCWhat? You mean making him act like a human being who experiences guilt, shame and trauma?🙄
Kasen Rogers
2024-09-04 16:52:24 +0000 UTCNo, the main problem was the disrepect of Luke.
Jaylight
2024-09-04 16:14:39 +0000 UTCNo, it wasn't Palpatine planting visions, Palpatine could see the future to some degree. If you remember he showed Yoda how Anakin was going to kill Count Dooku in Clone Wars. Anakins dreams were his own, Palpatine was just reading Anakin and seeing what was to come. Then he put 2 and 2 together and played on Anakins fear and pain.
Volume
2024-09-04 15:13:05 +0000 UTCYou got to see Tales of the Jedi. Then you will understand Doouku.
Jaylight
2024-09-04 00:59:33 +0000 UTCI'm not saying Mace should come back but I disagree that there's nowhere they could go with him. Seems like the events of Ep III would be a prime opportunity for character growth, realizing his mistakes and becoming better. Or maybe he goes a darker route, losing faith altogether and becoming an Empire-hunting vigilate. But I agree that these resurrections are getting ridiculous (although between Maul, Sidious, and Windu, Windu's survival would be the most believable, lol). IMO, TFA and TLJ would have been infinitely more satisfying if they took place during the original empire and Mace Windu was the one in exile on Ahch-To saying"It's time for the Jedi to end" and he was the one talking about the flaws of the Prequel Jedi. Either him or Quinlan Vos.
J. W.
2024-09-03 19:45:53 +0000 UTCI respectfully disagree.
J. W.
2024-09-03 19:01:18 +0000 UTCWhy do people want a prick like Mace Windu back? People get so caught up in Samuel Jackson acting well for the character that it seems like they forget what an actual dick the character is. There’s no further story to tell with Mace Windu. The entire point of the character was to demonstrate the arrogance of the Jedi and how far they had fallen into complacency and dogma to the point that Palpatine was able to bring them down as easily as he did. His death was meant to serve the narrative purpose of being the moment when Anakin turned to the dark side. Bringing the character back cheapens that and makes it less meaningful in a narrative sense. There’s nothing more that can be done with him. Jackson can beg all he wants, but the character has no reason to be brought back. Character death has already become enough of a joke in Star Wars as is.
Composite Creativity
2024-09-03 17:45:29 +0000 UTCim pretty sure its confirmed that Palpatine planted those dreams of her dying in his head.
Crispin
2024-09-03 16:27:18 +0000 UTCI'm so anxious to see y'alls reaction to the last 4 episodes of CW!
Dizzy-T
2024-09-03 15:48:34 +0000 UTCAlso, you have to keep in mind, Anakin was only around 22 when he became Darth Vader.
Lady TE
2024-09-03 14:27:52 +0000 UTCIt's just heartbreaking. Padme was the only hope Anakin has left at this point. He's lost Ahsoka, his trust in Obi-wan, and his faith in the Jedi. He knew his goal to be a Master would never be realized, and the Jedi wanted him to turn double agent against his father figure.
Lady TE
2024-09-03 13:56:49 +0000 UTCSomeone made it into a video. Its on youtube
Jaylight
2024-09-03 11:11:43 +0000 UTCJust FYI, here’s a rough chronological order of the stuff leading up to Ahsoka: Tales of the Jedi Ep 2 “Justice” Tales of the Jedi Ep 3 “Choices” Tales of the Jedi Ep 1 “Life & Death” — THE PHANTOM MENACE — Tales of the Jedi Ep 4 “The Sith Lord” (takes place during Phantom Menace) — ATTACK OF THE CLONES — The Clone Wars Seasons 1 - 7 Tales of the Empire Ep 1 “The Path of Fear” (takes place during Clone Wars Season 4 Episode 19 “Massacre”) Tales of the Jedi Ep 5 “Practice Makes Perfect” (Most of it takes place right after the Clone Wars movie but there’s one scene at the end that takes place during the Clone Wars finale) — REVENGE OF THE SITH — The Bad Batch Season 1 (begins during Revenge of the Sith) Tales of the Empire Ep 4 “Devoted” (begins during Revenge of the Sith) Tales of the Jedi Ep 6 “Resolve” (begins during Revenge of the Sith) The Bad Batch Season 2 - 3 Tales of the Empire Ep 5 “Realization” — SOLO — Kenobi Season 1 Tales of the Empire Ep 2 “The Path of Anger” Tales of the Empire Ep 6 “The Way Out” Andor Sason 1 Rebels Seasons 1 - 4 (Rebels ends with an epilogue set after Return of the Jedi) — ROGUE ONE — — STAR WARS — — THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK — — RETURN OF THE JEDI — Tales of the Empire Ep 3 “The Path of Hate” The Mandalorian Season 1 - 2 The Book of Boba Fett Season 1 The Mandalorian Season 3 Ahsoka Season 1
J. W.
2024-09-03 06:48:51 +0000 UTCYou also gotta remember while Padme’s death was the priority tipping point, Anakin said earlier in the film his faith in the council had been shaken. The way they treated Ahsoka didn’t help, and the fact they’ve lied to him in the past, particularly about Obi Wan faking his death eroded his trust in them. Now combined with not promoting him to Master (even after proven to be a war hero a hundred times over) and Yoda dismissing his feelings about loss, in hindsight, it didn’t take much for Palpatine to take advantage of that vulnerability and corrupt him. I also think (while a unproven theory) that Palpatine took Padme’s life force and truly killed her. For one, how did he know she died, he wasn’t there..second, she was the biggest critic against the war and turning the Republic into an Empire, his most vocal critic from the beginning now gone. Lastly, if she was so healthy, how did she die that quickly (explains the weird script in my mind lol)
Essence Brown
2024-09-03 04:03:02 +0000 UTC100% agree Kasen
Spencer Allen
2024-09-03 04:00:57 +0000 UTCI think you mean Plagueis was Palpatine's master, not apprentice.
J. W.
2024-09-03 03:52:26 +0000 UTCAlso you are right about Dooku being human as opposed to Palpatine, there's a reason why he didn't have the yellow eyes full time, there's a reason why the Separatist cause though effed up in execution was noble at its core I reccomend watching Tales of the Jedi before Rebels, it fits perfectly chronologically speaking and it will give you more on who Dooku is
Aitipse Amelie
2024-09-03 02:03:09 +0000 UTCI’ve been putting up with that oversimplified view of the movie for nearly 10 years. So I’m not even gonna bother trying to debate you on it.
Kasen Rogers
2024-09-03 02:02:26 +0000 UTCNah fam it all went downhill on TFA. A copy of ANH cant be the basis for a new story
Aitipse Amelie
2024-09-03 01:41:47 +0000 UTCIts so refreshing to see someone watch EP III after Clone Wars. You can feel the impact that Order 66 has, as well as Grievous' death to end the war and the birth of the Empire
Aitipse Amelie
2024-09-03 01:15:16 +0000 UTCIt's been one helluva ride to watch these reactions, and looking forward to the final 4 CW reactions.
Chris Saguisag
2024-09-03 00:45:52 +0000 UTCSo actually, Darth Plaguies was Palpatine's apprentice, there is no show or anything but there are the canon books in which it says in the rule of two that the apprentice once strong enough should betray the master. That's what Palpatine did, he got so drunk one day that he came in and killed Plagueis in his sleep. That's why he was smiling and telling Anakin. He never learned how to manipulate the midichlorians and save someone from death, because SIth can't do that. Only the Jedi can, that's also why Anakin wanted to be on the council so he can access the library of Holocron records in which there is are records on force healing and saving people from death. Also, Plaguies was obsessed with midichlorians, so he tried to create a force by manipulating it, the force clapped back and said "bitch, I will make my own". That is why Anakin is the chosen and strongest one and has no father but only his mother.

2024-09-02 23:15:45 +0000 UTCHere we go! This is my favorite of the prequel movies, and my second favorite of all of the "Star Wars" films. As I've been with you guys for all of your "Clone Wars" journey, that show really does make you look at the prequel trilogy, and especially this movie, differently. Even though this has meant to be part of your "journey to Ahsoka", just seeing Anakin's journey from the very beginning up until this point has been amazing. Fun Fact: The Jedi padawan that protected Bail Organa was played by George Lucas' son. And George Lucas also has a cameo appearance during the space opera scene. Up next: the EPIC conclusion to "The Clone Wars". 😊
Randee Carreno
2024-09-02 22:28:28 +0000 UTCRegarding the stuff about the Sequel Trilogy, a couple things; 1. While there are definitely haters, the trilogy overall is divisive in general. 2. Most of the hate for Rey was the idiotic Mary Sue claims and people not accepting that their theories a/b her weren’t true in TLJ. 3. Finn was never meant to be a Jedi. People assumed that b/c of the marketing for TFA and for some reason people think that was the only possible good story direction for him.🙄 4. Most of the issues with the trilogy overall were the fault of the last film attempting to try and appease people who hated TLJ.
Kasen Rogers
2024-09-02 22:23:45 +0000 UTCHighly recommend the Legends book about Plageuis by James Luceno for someone who wants to know more. It's not canon but it's a FABULOUS read with great insight into Sith dynamics, sorcery, and how Sidious became how he is.
Jackie
2024-09-02 21:51:32 +0000 UTCI can't wait to see you guys watch Tales of the Jedi. Dooku's backstory will solidify that statement of walking around with a red lightsaber.
Jackie
2024-09-02 21:48:08 +0000 UTCWindu could definitely come back. Even Samuel L Jackson wants to came back to the role.
Kasen Rogers
2024-09-02 20:53:08 +0000 UTCThey’ve already seen the original trilogy and Rogue One
Diana
2024-09-02 20:50:10 +0000 UTCBeen a great ride with all of you here on Patreon and although we're not finished (not by a long shot) just wanted to say how awesome the community is.
Wayleran
2024-09-02 20:39:38 +0000 UTCI mean if you guys wanna react to rest of the movies now would be the time since they are making movies again. The originals of course then the sequels and draw some new reflections because I really like the sequels and I think they get a lot of unnecessary hate.
Forcewielder69 l
2024-09-02 18:42:13 +0000 UTCIt always gets me. The last time these two will ever see each other as brothers/friends is when they're bidding farewell to one another. Obi-Wan, may the Force be with you." "Goodbye old friend, may the Force be with you"
William. C
2024-09-02 18:36:54 +0000 UTCsame for me tros was good till the ending
GodKingSosa
2024-09-02 16:50:03 +0000 UTCAnd even with the way it was clearly presented as Anakin doing the deed, there’s still a subset of people out there who buy into a baseless theory that “Palpatine killed Padme instead” or some shit even though that’s not how the story was written in either Expanded Universe or canon in the first place.
Composite Creativity
2024-09-02 16:47:12 +0000 UTCWould be awesome if they do the original trilogy. I actually love the first 2 sequel movies as well but not so much the third movie…
Jesse S
2024-09-02 16:06:05 +0000 UTCYep would love to see Joe’s reaction to OG trilogy. Get some closure for Anakins character
Jesse S
2024-09-02 16:04:21 +0000 UTCOh man it was really emotional seeing y’all react to Anakin turn to the dark side after the whole clone wars journey and seeing his friendship with Obi Wan and everything. I think you guys should consider reacting to the original trilogy. They’re beautiful films and you get to have some closure with Anakin’s character and see his redemption and Luke’s amazing journey as well. Wow. What an awesome ride this has been.
Jesse S
2024-09-02 16:02:39 +0000 UTCYeah Resistance is a straight skip. There ain't nothing redeeming about that series. It's just a massive disappointment and a waste of time.
Paul V.
2024-09-02 15:37:14 +0000 UTCMan it was great to finally see you guys reach ROTS after 7 seasons of the Clone Wars. Now that Joe is so invested in Anakin's journey I think it'd be a great idea to revisit the Original Trilogy after you finish Rebels. Ahsoka takes place after the OT anyway so that way you'd have all the context. You can do that or the other way would be Andor season 2 then Rogue One and then the Original Trilogy as Rogue One leads directly into it. But since Joe is so invested right now in this moment it's probably better to revisit the OT sooner than later.
Paul V.
2024-09-02 15:34:13 +0000 UTCI think the most tragic thing w/ Padme is that so many people tried to take her out in the series, that if you had no knowledge of the SW Universe that you'd never think her husband would be the one to do her in
Kenphil 99
2024-09-02 14:28:26 +0000 UTCWhen Joe realized Rex also has the chip 🥺
Miz Gracie
2024-09-02 14:08:36 +0000 UTCTrue. I think resistance is ok to skip manly because those characters don't fall into the main plot, but the extra info can't hurt plus they get to see older Leia
GodKingSosa
2024-09-02 14:00:34 +0000 UTCThey should watch original trilogy before watching sequel trilogy. Also rewatching Mandalorian some point after Rebels would mean they will understand certain things that went over their heads. Maybe Star Wars Resistance also after everything but before sequel trilogy.

Jaylight
2024-09-02 12:43:49 +0000 UTCThis movie is forever one of my favorites and it's even better having seen all of clone wars. If you guys remember the clone Fives who found out about Order 66 and the chips in every clone's head. So crazy to think a single clone, was close to warning the Jedi of their downfall.
William. C
2024-09-02 12:12:38 +0000 UTCNow remember that episode where Yoda and Anakin were fighting Palpatine and Doouku in the force vision and Anakin got the lightsabers around Doouku's neck and Yoda said "Anakin, no!". That was foreshadowing for what happened in this video and Yoda had the insight to tell Anakin, "no" because that led to Anakin's being Doouku's replacement.
Jaylight
2024-09-02 11:40:15 +0000 UTCYes Darth Plaguis was his master. He killed him. Darth Plaguis was Hego De a Munn and part of the Intergalatic Banking Clan Darth Plaguis had a master, Darth Tenebrous. It goes all the way back to Darth Bane 1000 years who started the rule of 2.

2024-09-02 10:51:50 +0000 UTCi cant wait for the sequel trilogy reactions now. make sure u guys rewatch some mando, and bad batch to help with your understanding of things in the sequel trilogy .they have a lot of key info about main characters. kylo ren is the second best character is star wars history. reys backstory is sad/crazy af. the sequel trilogy suffers from blind hate. people don't like change and when ever u make a sequel it always suffers from nostalgic fans wonting the stories they had as kids. i love Legend of korra more the Avatar the last airbender, i love boruto over naruto, hell i love all of star wars but for me it goes prequals>sequels>original
