Ya but when people say they think Luke is the chosen one I can see their point, Vader doesn’t redeem himself without Luke.

Also, Qui-Gon 100% could not free Anakin’s mom. 1. The Republic/Jedi have zero jurisdiction here. 2. He couldn’t use the force on Watto to force him to do it as it did not work on him, as shown. 3. They could not take on the Hutts by themselves if he just took her, as they would have been overwhelmed. And 4. Even if they COULD take her by force, Watto would’ve just blown her up in front of Anakin, which would’ve been much more traumatic. On a side note, though, Jedi typically take children (with permission) from the parents at a very early age, so that they don’t form an attachment to them, which can lead to the Darkside. This is the reason they say Anakin is too old.

Duel of the Fates has a big meaning. It’s the fate of Anakin’s soul. And everything that will happen to him. And who will ultimately train him.

To answer a few of your questions: those are tribal tattoos on Maul that are from his heritage on Dathomir. Also, Skywalker is just his inherited last name, his mom's name was Shmi Skywalker. And yes while it would have been better odds if more Jedi could have gone with them to help on Naboo, too many Jedi may have caused political issues. The Trade Federation is part of the Republic and if the Jedi start to "war" with them then the Trade Federation would obviously say that they are taking sides when they are only supposed to help keep the peace. If the Jedi only send Qui-Gon and Obi-wan then they can limit their involvement and just say they are there to keep the Queen safe for peace talks or whatever.

Also a point that there are 10,000 Jedi spread across the galaxy. 10,000 sounds like a big number, but in the scope of an entire galaxy with trillions of inhabited planets, the Jedi have always been spread pretty thin. The Jedi Council generally stay at the temple on Coruscant to direct the Jedi missions across the galaxy. Not exactly like they have spare Jedi to just toss everywhere they need help, and they likely wouldn't have had time to divert resources and send help anyway, since the entire dual in-universe lasts maybe half an hour max

It could've come out either way in terms of his training, but Anakin Skywalker is definitely the chosen one, as you saw in the originals he killed the emperor and died from his own wounds bringing balance after getting rid of the Jedi and the Sith

One thing I don’t see folks mentioning that I could probably talk about without spoiling anything is how Naboo’s monarchy works. It’s kinda interesting because unlike most monarchies in our world with a few exceptions, they have an electoral monarchy. It’s not tied to any particular bloodline, though Naboo does have a little clique of prominent noble houses that often hold the office. You’re spot on in your guesstimation of Padme’s age, she’s fourteen. The Naboo tend to elect young women to the office, their values have a very progressive bent and they also value a sorta “innocence of youth” or whatever you’d want to call that. Even so, Padme is very young for the office, but as you’ve seen and will see going forward, she’s a bit of a political firebrand and her people love and respect her.

Yes. Anakin is the chosen one, not Luke. The hair cut as you said is a tradition among the jedi, it's one way to say ''i am a padawan'', of course not all padawans have it coz a lot of them are, well aliens. Padme is not ''royal blood'' as we know, the kings/queens of Naboo are elected democraticly. She was a Senator of the Republic (representing Naboo) prior to being monarch. Her name is Padme Naberrie, the Amidala is the name she used when she was doing his campaign to be elected as Queen. Loved the reaction as always.

During the force field scene when Qui Gon is meditating, and Darth Maul is pacing with eye contact, that shows the difference in a Jedi Master, and a Sith. The Jedi focus on piece, and being an ally of the Force itself. The Sith focus on their passion, and raw emotion for their power, and they seek to bend the Force to their own will. The fact that Qui Gon can meditate in the heat of battle also shows the difference in a Jedi master, and an padawan learner. Obi Wan Kenobi is watching the two of them intently with so much worry while his master is demonstrating the traits of a true Jedi master. Qui Gon is completely uninhibited from any fear of dying. Obi Wans darker emotions in that moment does allow him to defeat Darth Maul in the end, and earned the rank of Jedi Knight in the process, but he doesn't give in to those emotions completely. Qui Gons death is what took Obi Wan from a young learner into a complete and wise Jedi Knight that would eventually become a proven Jedi Master with a lot of the qualities of his master.

There was far too much politics for too long, which is mostly in the middle, so we get a sort of action sandwich where the slowed down "talking parts" are all in the middle which disengages the audience from what is happening.

@@quntface1518 The Last Jedi is the hidden gem of the sequel trilogy. The Force Awakens did what it needed to do to set the stage, but The Last Jedi is where the bold (to the point of controversy) decisions and poignant themes were. I expect Rise of Skywalker will age the poorest of the three because it was mostly filler and cowardly story decisions that were more about going backward than forward. Solo will probably age fairly well for what it is. I think that one suffered from poor timing and unfortunate marketing more than from anything being wrong with the movie itself. Rogue One was a bit over-ambitious with the CGI humans (that's always tricky), but aside from that handful of VFX shots, I think it'll age fine. Over time, I've definitely become more forgiving of the prequels, but there are still moments and elements that really weigh them down for me. The long conversations about trade routes, the Neimoidian pseudo-Asian accents, the fart gags, the desperate comedy of Jar-Jar, the awkward dialogue in places... The story as a whole for me was made better in hindsight by the acknowledgment of the flawed Jedi tradition in episode 8.

Maul’s a Zabrak the face marking are part of his race. The fight against Maul was perhaps the most important battle of this era. For even though Obi-Wan slew Maul the true hope for the galaxy was lost when Qui-Gon fell.

Naboo is an elected monarchy, like the Vatican, the historic Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, or Malaysia (technically). Maul's lightsaber is called a saber-staff. Ewan MacGregor and Ray Park were going so fast in the final duel that the footage was slightly slowed down to be believable.

YES! I'm so excited for Episode I *Star Wars: The Phantom Menace* is top-notch! 😁

I once watched a roundtable with some cinema figures and heard Dave Filoni talk about the significance of "Duel of the Fates". The very name itself revolves around Anakin and his future. That fight was the catalyst to the path he would take in adult life. If Qui-Gon had lived to train the boy, he would have been the father figure he needed and would have been able to properly steer him from the Dark Side. On the flip side, his death left a father-figure hole in Anakin's life and had massive ramifications for the whole galaxy. But this was necessary in order for Darth Vader to exist at all. That's why, as Filoni said, "Qui-Gon has to die." Edit: I did some digging and I discovered the roundtable where he discusses it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zoppj5uYj7vcgMo.html

A TWIN SABER!!!!!!! Some great reactions and great commentary Can't wait for the next one!

Interesting thing I realized is that the Trade Federation is based off the Dutch and British East India Companies who infamously invaded India, which Naboo has a lot of references to like the name Padme, the Gungans (Gunga is a Hindu term for the Ganges river), and some of the Buddhist-esque statues in the forests.

"[Anakin] has a ponytail and a braid! Obi-wan! No. Why? Holy ****. Why did Obi-wan do that?" Multi-generational trauma.

In most action films, they undercrank the camera so it captures at a slower frame rate. They do this do that action shots are sped up to look more intense. Ewan Mcgregor and Ray Park were fighting so fast that they had to overcrank the camera and slow it down so people could see what they were doing.

“Jedi are the worst parents” you have no idea just how correct that statement is 😂😂😂

Yes, Jedi Padawans traditionally wear their hair in that style. I really, really _strongly_ recommend that between Episode 2 and 3, you watch the Genndy Tartakovsky animated The Clone Wars. That's where it takes place, and it's a very short series, but at the end of it, you get to see the ceremony that graduates a Jedi from Padawan to Knight. After that, watch Episode 3, and then you can dive into Clone Wars, the later series that is much longer. Also very good, but hard to recommend in between two movies. The Genndy Tartakovsky series is maybe just over an hour all together.

There is a great book trilogy that details Padme growing up, including being selected as queen and tons of background on how she works with her handmaidens.

I'm glad to see how quickly you recognize many of the flaws of this. (Though i hasten to add, this is my favorite of the prequels.) Nonetheless, we were 16 years waiting for this, and for all its disappointment, at the time it was difficult to be so hard on it. 16 years of no saga films made us just relieved to have something.

I love that the Duel of Fates (the song from the duel with Maul) refers specifically to Anakin's fate, and by extension the fate of the whole Galaxy. Had Qui-gon survived, that fate of the galaxy would have been different, because he was the mentor Anakin needed, and Obi-wan was not, but with Qui-gon's death, Anakin's fate (up to episode VI) was sealed.

Thanks for the great reaction Meg! A lot of things took a lot of stuff from Star Wars but Star Wars took a lot of stuff from a lot of things. Lucas borrowed liberally from Dune, Foundation, Star Trek, Lensmen, Flash Gordon, Tommy Tomorrow, The Hidden Fortress, Jack Kirby and a wide variety of other sources.

I love how she says ”Qwee John” lol

“He will bring balance to the force”… Anakin ‘brought’ Luke into the world

Fun Fact: in the final fight, the editing team had to slow down the fight becuse they were going so fast.

The chosen one prophecy is open to interpretation. A fan theory I’ve seen a few times is that the chosen one was to wipe out both the Jedi and the Sith because at this point of time, the Jedi weren’t behaving like Jedi. The ideal Jedi would be someone like Luke in ep. 6 or Qui-Gon.

Qui Gon is the most disrespected and underrated Jedi imo. Saw a lot of things that the Jedi council didn’t.

George Lucas and Dave Filoni the two people that have done the most for Star Wars have both said and I quote “if qui gon jinn lived Anakin would not have fallen to the dark side and would never become Darth Vader.” That’s why the song is called dual of the fates the battle is deciding Anakins fate.

I mentioned this on stream the other day, but Dave Filoni, the current Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm, has mention his interpretation of the fight between Qui Gon and Darth Maul. The song that plays in that moment is called Duel of the Fates, Filoni has said that he interprets that duel as the fight over anakin's own fate (and the galaxy's): “What’s at stake here is really how Anakin is going to turn out. Because Qui-Gon is different from the rest of the Jedi… He’s the father Anakin needs.” Also, i know you probably know this by now hahaha but i just really like to talk about star wars, so: The main role of a Jedi as an organization are peacekeepers, so more mediators rather than a private army, so sending a group of Jedi to fight in the liberation of a planet would have been seen as taking sides when they strive to be as neutral as possible. (although we all know how dangers that mentality can be). The braid is a jedi tradition, yes. All padawans have it through their apprenticeship and, at least in old canon, when they were knighted their master would cut it with their lightsaber. The ponytail is not so much a requirement like the braid, but all padawans tend to have shorter/out of the way hair so the braid stands out.

To be fair, Jedi are written that way, so its on Lucas. Still, Jedi aren't exactly training to be cub scouts. They kinda need to get dirty, quickly.

Keep in mind during the release of the 1977 Star Wars Alec Guiness ( Elder Obi-Wan ) was around 60 years old and probably didn't receive much training before the fight scene with Vader who was portrayed by a body builder ( David Prowse) and voiced by (James Earl Jones). I'm not sure how much training Prowse had with wielding a sword like object. The next two films in the original trilogy we have Vader and Luke battle it out and to my knowledge Mark Hamill (Luke) received more training to make the fight scenes more dynamic in the last two movies. In this movie you have the scary looking Darth Maul portrayed by professional Stuntman/Martial artist Ray Park which moves the light saber duels into a whole new level as well as making Darth Maul one of the most popular characters in the franchise. The Vader character has been portrayed by multiple people in the costume over the decades since the original trilogy.

Yes, the ugly braid is the mark of a Jedi Padawan (student). They even have jewelry for hairless species.

Maul may have made the double-bladed lightsaber famous but he wasn't the first instance of a Star Wars character using one. The original idea for a double-bladed lightsaber first appeared in a old comic series called Tales of the Jedi, (which depicted the ancient past of the order) with a character called Exar Kun. A unique thing about it was, unlike Maul's lightsaber, the hilt of his wasn't elongated to accommodate both hands, it was regular sized and he used it one handed.

The Huts are a large crime syndicate that has control of most of the outer rim planets where there is no Republic. He tried to get her out without causing an issue. But too forcefully remove her would have caused a problem that is much larger than the story in the movie.

The chosen one was Anakin, he overthrew the emperor in ep 6 and restored peace & balance to the force

The braid is customary for a Padawan (Jedi apprentice) to have.

indeed, the "new ones" just don't compare.

If you want more backstory with Padme and her decoy, I highly recommend the Queen's trilogy by EK Johnston, Queen's Shadow, Queen's Peril, and Queen's Hope. The books are all great stories about Padme and the girls and women she was closer to than almost anyone else in the galaxy.

The Prophecy said Anakin would bring balance to the Force. It did NOT say what would happen between then and now. That's why I hate prophecies, they're never specific.

Rewatching this I'm impressed all over again by the choreography in the fight with Darth Maul. It's not just a dual blade, the actual hilt of his lightsaber is extra long so he can hold it with both hands, which he does most of the time, he uses it like a long staff rather than like a sword. So cool.

Oh man, I love the Fact or Fiction edits. Always gets me. lol

Cor-Gon, Squee-Con, Qwee-Gon. So many names he has.

yes! pt 2, its here

It's very interesting (and important) to see how Obi-Wan was sceptical about Anakin and didn't believe in him the same way his master did. Obi-Wan only chooses to train Anakin based on a promise to his dying master rather than any sort of ideological conviction, which ends up severely straining their relationship in the next film.

This was such a fun reaction! ^_^ I love this movie, especially the world building of Tatooine. A world way too far away from the Republic for centralized law? The mob runs things. Things are awful and people are miserable? Distract them with bloodsport like Pod Racing, similar to the Roman colosseum games. Wanna free the slaves? Not that simple, since the Hutt mob 'keeps the trains running' and keeps crime organized and not as brutal, and solving socio-economic issues isn't as simple as "kill the bad guys," even if they are horrendous slavers who deserve to die. Love it so much, George did a great job.

Lol even as a kid, I've always felt the same way about putting Anakin in danger by bringing him along to infiltrate the palace when he could've just stayed on Coruscant for the time being. I just chuck it up to George making the movie for a younger audience.

Well that and Qui Gon probably meditated on it and also said he wanted Anakin to learn from him. In some ways, the palace raid was another day at the office until Maul showed up
