Fun fact - in this game there's an exclusive live action scene where Dooku says "Do not assume that because they're are two of you that you have the advantage". It wasn't even in the film.

It’s always so fun to see deleted scenes pop up in tie-in media. Gives a brief glimpse into their exact context and what could’ve been. One in particular that always stuck out to me was in _Lego Star Wars: The Video Game_ where, if Anakin wins the duel in 3-6, his lightsaber turns red in the following cutscene before Obi-Wan regains the upper hand. This was updated in _The Complete Saga_ later on, but I always found it fascinating that the debate on Anakin’s lightsaber changing color during the fight went on pretty much until the final release.

Fun Easter egg, in case nobody is aware: if you play as Ben Kenobi in the multiplayer duel mode, if you hold L1 and push circle+square at the same time, Ben will raise his lightsaber to his face and if he is attacked before lowering the lightsaber, he’ll instantly die, like A New Hope.

Circle and Square is a genius combo cuz they're opposite from eachother, so most people aren't gonna naturally do it. Leaving the move as a special secret for those who do.

You can say it, it’s still the best lightsaber dueling game to this day. It would’ve been “Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels”, but it was only available for Wii, and it’s a pain in the butt to emulate nowadays

This game STILL has some of the best lightsaber duel combat, right next to Jedi Academy. ROTS is a lot better than some people give it credit for. The best thing about its release was playing before the movie came out.

I love how involved Hayden was in the development of this game and the Anakin character, because he himself was a gamer - so cool! But it makes sense! Dude was 19 When he got cast, so there was a pretty Big chance that the dude played video games, so I’m glad he got the opportunity

Same with Nick Gillard! He’d never been involved in a video game project, but he was the crucial piece for the lightsaber choreography and how to use it. He’d do demonstrations with the development team on footwork as you’re attacking and defending. Once Hayden appeared, the other key element as they’re adding choreography is the character behind every move.

Love this game. I still have my original copy on my ps2. There are so many memories. The boss fights, combat, and the way they integrate the movie footage awesome.

Matty Cin and Serea are both bosses in the campaign of Revenge of the Sith game in both PS2 and Xbox

Cin and Serra are featured in the story mode and you fight against both of them as Anakin while clearing out the Jedi Temple. Which means... you didn't really play the story mode for this one - or you completely forgot about it :D

What are you on about? Cin and Serra are bosses during the Jedi Temple raid as Anakin. Like, they're literally in the main story. Did you actually play the game or just went off your memories and wikis, and got all your footage from another source?

I can so relate. I remember having my dad take me to Hollywood video over and over again asking if they got it in yet so I could rent it. Loved the game, the alternate ending you can do. Ep 3 is my favorite Star Wars. Always blew my mind when the prequels were getting hate. Love to see it getting the love now especially with the stuff on Ahsoka and obi wan getting obi wan and anikan returning. Last year I found episode 3 CIB for Xbox and picked it up and I can play it on my series x. It’s bliss. Lol

My favorite line from this game is sometimes Anakin just says “Bigger isn’t better” and kills the shit out of the bigger enemies

If you have fast fingers, on duel mode, Dooku and Cin Dralig are utterly invincible. Their fencing style is so much faster to the strike than the absurd twirling of the rest you drill them repeatedly in the chest as they wind up over and over.

There actually is a mission where you face Drallig and Keto. It was a bonus I believe. It takes place during Operation Nightfall when Anikan goes to the temple

Idk if it’s different in the PS2 version but in the Xbox versions Sara and Cin are a back to back fight in the story mode during the Order 66 levels.

They're kinda separate, but on the same level, kind of immediately one after the other, and u don't really get to recover much health in between so I can see why he'd count them as one

I was that nerd kid that was excited to see Cin in the game. He’s in the movie for like two seconds but the duel with him is really fleshed out in the novelization, which I read after finding it at school. So it was cool for kid me to see the character get more of a nod, my first Glup Shitto.

Just wanna say your awesome dude and I always love your content since the beginning and I'm happy with all the different stuff you talk about and how informative you are with it and even if I don't agree with everything I respect your opinion and will gladly always be a part of your channel

One of the only games I actually ever completed as a kid. I loved this game so much! And honestly *the* GOAT film 🔥

Playing the dueling mode and unlocking all the secret characters was so fun back in the day. Really glad you're able to do these kind of videos, keep up the great work Matty & Lock!

The 3 goats imo

the concept 2v1 duel between Vader, Cin and Serra was supposed to be during the raid on the Jedi Temple, not after the alternate ending. He is Vader as soon as Mace Windu is killed but they turned it in to 2 seperate fights back to back as the combat system in the game works much better 1v1 and it allows both characters movesets to shine. I think this would have been such a cool scene in the real film let alone the game. The concept of Hayden overcoming the guy who literally invented lightsaber fighting as it existed at the time. It's probably one of the things that would have been in the super long version Lucas has talked about

Yo, jumpscare seeing my write in from Patreon! Thanks for including my submission, great video!

I had both growing up and will gladly say this is by far my favorite video game as a child

Me and my younger brother played this so much as kids. All the reasons you mentioned about its staying power are so true, such an underrated game!

Crazy how i watch your videos all the time and we were born the same month of the same year! Love the star wars content man!

This brought back So many memories. I played both like crazy!

I like how the one thing these games have in common is that they both don't wanna deal with Padme.

Sin Drallig and Serra Keto are actually in the main story. You have to fight both of them in the Jedi temple. At different times rather than a double boss fight

The cin drallig fight would have been the order 66 boss fight, not the end of the game.

I adore the DS version as well. However, unlike you, my favorite part of the game is all the ship combat. It’s like having Ace Combat Lite in a handheld with options such as the Millennium Falcon, the V-Wing, the ARC-170, Vader’s TIE Advanced, and even Anakin’s custom starfighter from the first Clone Wars animated series. So fun.

I too, remember the Gameboy Advance version of this game. There was one summer where I was home alone for about a week, and as long as I did chores, yard work and the like, I got as much time with this game as I wanted. It was the perfect carrot on a stick for someone who had just seen Episode 3 and fell in love with everything about it immediately.

Great game! The remastered version on Xbox is so good

I'm realizing just how similar Mattys childhood games are to mine and im loving it

Great experience. I love this game. One of my 3 favorite Star Wars games.

Yo Xmen the official game and wolverines revenge were awesome games

No, you make more videos on this game my man. Its a masterpiece

Thank you for covering one of my favorite childhood games!! XD

Yo, your story warm my heart. The Christmas one & the memories you told us about playing the ps2/GBA versions. I was like damn..good times man. It was very relatable 😁 those unlockable really did help the games. It gave you something to hard work for. All these hours & you can see what you gained. Nowadays, all that would've been dlc. Resident evil 2 & 3 (remake) had unlockables. I can't remember any other newer games i have nowadays that have free unlockables for doing something awesome. I would have to set down & think about it 😂

Haven’t watched the video yet, but I remember playing this everyday afterschool like in 09. This game is goated

Glad to see someone actually covering the handheld versions. They were so fun, yet often overlooked. Personally I prefer the gba version instead of the ds version since I'm not a big fan of the ship levels, but mostly its the music. Something about hearing those iconic star wars songs in the gba sound font is just so much more charming than listening to the actual songs with the ds's sound quality

Super great channel. Great topic / topics, presentation and everything. Easily a new favourite after years of few such quality channels. Love love love

Nothing beats that intro with Anakin

The duels in this game were so good

this game was so fun man. Great lightsaber combat!! and funny dialogue lines

My absolute favorite feature was the alternate attires in the duels. Seeing Vader with a blue saber, Grevious with red sabers, Kenobi with a green saber was mind blowing as a kid

First time watching your video. I cant believe how you shattered my childhood memory. In my mind the graphics of RotS was on par with jedi fallen order/ survivor 😭 Man did we have a good childhood when the memory is better than reality. (Same goes for the amazing jedi academy that i shattered my image by buying the ps4 rerelease 😂) Awesome video about a great game that i will search out to play again 🎉

I like the music :)

The memories with my buddies dueling each other in this we were young and stupid and new nothing we would bitch if someone picked the character we wanted. But that all changed when we discovered you both can play the same people vader with the blue light Saber or grevious with the 4 red ones will forever be ingrained in my memory discovering that

This game was fire man

The ONLY thing this game was missing for me as a kid is I really wish they would've found a way to feature Palpatine as a playable character. I think that's the only thing I was ever able to complain about

my favorite thing about this is this game came out before the movie and this game had the cutscenes haha

I just randomly clicked on the video, but I caught a second of the gameplay and was pleasantly surprised, I mean it’s nothing revolutionary, but for what I expected it to be… it’s much better than I thought lol. Gameplay actually looks kinda fun, something I’d be down to try even in 2024 haha

Still a classic. I loved this game as a kid.

One small thing you didnt mention is the alternate costumes in Duel Mode. Some were pretty cool like Greavous with 4 Red Sabers, a What If Anakin with his hood up and a Red Lightsaber, and even a what if Light Side Darth Vader with a more Blue outfit and a Blue Saber.

I went to go see this movie when I was 8 with my mom, and she was shocked I knew lines from the movie. I had to explain after how the game had shown scenes from the film! Can you imagine this happening today?

Cin Drallig is literally a boss in the game dude... lol

I found out about that alternate ending by accident, i thought i picked the last level where you play as Obi-Wan, but i was controlling Anakin. I thought it eas a bug, but then i got that ending and it surprised me

I had so much fun on this as a kid

Definitely one of the best Star Wars game to be released and still holds up well for a PS2 game.

The wildest part of this game is that they released it before the movie came out.

This is a fun game and the boss battles can be quite challenging

There is actually are channel called Threepio that does actual tournaments of this game with skilled players and these games were actually hype So wish there was an online mod for this game.

In the episode 3 game on PS2 I love the alternate ending in the campaign

Honestly one of my favorite DS games of all time. I still own it.
