    Hey, Ylva! This movie is a mixed bag but you appreciated its finer qualities and made some astute observations! You knew who Obi-Wan was right from the start! Congrats! A lot of reactors miss the name-drop and don't realize who Ewan McGregor is until halfway through the movie! You were aware of the decoy swapping but didn't recognize 14-year-old Keira Knightley playing the decoy Sabe! The decoy tactic was a security measure against the Trade Federation; Portman was herself when performing her duties and while on Tatooine but concealed herself whenever she was in transit and exposed. The Emperor's name was never mentioned in the Classic Trilogy and only viewers who had explored the Expanded Universe of comics, novels, video games and action figures knew his surname. This is the time of the Republic and the future Emperor is operating in the shadows as a hooded mystery man. Lucas provided multiple visual and vocal cues as to his public identity to clue in audiences before the BIG REVEAL! The prequel films are overly reliant on CGI which forced the cast to work with green screen backgrounds resulting in somewhat stiff performances from otherwise highly accomplished actors like Liam Neeson, Sam Jackson and Natalie Portman. Lucas also wrote the clunky screenplay and has admitted he is far from a deft wordsmith. However, Lucas had complete control of these films and there is an internal consistency and scale of ambition that the more recent Sequel trilogy lacks. Many who grew up with the Prequel trilogy love it as much, if not more, than the Classic trilogy. Judge for yourself. Any species can become Jedi or Sith if their midichlorian count is above a certain threshold and they are trained as evidenced by the VARIETY OF SPECIES on the Jedi Council. Without training, one is just Force-sensitive. Below the threshold, one is a low-level Force-sensitive like having an especially keen sixth sense. Below that, you're a muggle. Lol. Light saber colors denote various attributes. BLUE denotes martial skill and are classified as GUARDIANS. GREEN denotes wisdom and are classified as CONSULARS. YELLOW denotes justice and are classified as SENTINELS. ORANGE denotes pacifism and are classified as NEGOTIATORS. PURPLE denotes a willingness to access the Dark Side but temper it with Light striking a delicate but potent balance and are classified as ARBITERS. RED denotes corruption since the kyber crystal is cracked and are classified as DARKSIDERS, INQUISITORS or SITH. WHITE denotes a deep Force connection that is ideologically neutral wielded by AHSOKA TANO post-Clone Wars. BLACK is unique to the DARKSABER crafted millennia ago by the sole Mandalorian Jedi in history, TARRE VIZSLA. Jar Jar Binks is probably the most absurd character in all of Star Wars. He is almost universally reviled. Fortunately, you don't see much of him beyond this movie. The poor actor who played him, Ahmed Best, suffered such a professional and personal backlash for his portrayal, he became suicidally depressed requiring an intervention by Lucas himself. He has since made peace with his Star Wars past, thankfully. Jeez, what was George thinking? Poor Jake Lloyd would have appreciated your appraisal of his performance. He, too, was ridiculed for his portrayal of young Anakin and so badly bullied in school that he dropped out. He turned to drugs and has been in and out of trouble with the law his whole life! You wouldn't know it from the film but Anakin RESTORED a discarded C-3PO. He didn't actually create him. The protocol droid is already a century old by the time Anakin begins tinkering with him. The two droids are meant to be the witnesses of the saga and appear in eleven of the twelve films. Lucas got the idea of servant witnesses from the Kurosawa samurai classic, "The Hidden Fortress". Anakin is the product of a virgin birth like the Christian Jesus. Shmi tells Qui-Gon she became pregnant without a lover. In truth, the Force itself -- the universe as it were -- created her son. Who knows? Lucas decided to get metaphysical. It's kinda like Nature restoring balance. It's also kinda weird. "Clone Wars" explains more. The Sith are Dark Side Force-users who are the ancient enemy of the Jedi. The Emperor and Vader were Sith. There were once legions of Sith but then a fellow named Darth Bane instituted the Rule of Two 1,000 years in the past. Since then, it's been a Master and an Apprentice jockeying for power and supplanting one another. Midichlorians are based on real-world mitochondria that exist symbiotically in all our cells with their own DNA. As you might remember from high school bio, they produce the energy that powers our cells. In Star Wars, they are microscopic organisms that exist symbiotically within all living beings. The greater the number, the more one's ability to tap into the Force. Lucas was just establishing a biological basis for his space magic. Some people hate the idea. I think it's cool. Jedi are trained as early as possible and removed from their families so they develop no attachments other than to the Jedi Order like the Ottoman Janissary Corps. Anakin already has emotional attachments which will cause him all kinds of trouble. The Jedi practice this to temper emotional outbursts and prevent any compromise to the psychically powerful adepts who constitute the Order. An uncontrolled rogue Jedi is like an ambulatory nuke! You probably wondered about the efficacy of the Gungan shields since the droid troops marched so easily through them! Shields have different properties in Star Wars. The Gungan shields are likely impervious to fast-moving objects or objects with a high energy yield such as cannon blasts but are completely permeable to slow-moving objects or objects with a low energy yield. Maul is the coolest villain. His species is called Zabrak. Their homeworld is Iridonia although Maul was raised on Dathomir, home of the Nightsister witches. The red and black coloration are facial tattoos. Everyone's jaw dropped when they saw that double-sided lightsaber in the trailer! The animated "Clone Wars" honors this worthy antagonist and reveals much more about Maul!

    Get well soon. Yes boby double was 14 year old kiera knightly. The guy from smallville.

    Yup, force dash (speed) is a thing. You won’t be seeing it like that again😅 or all that much The Force can’t be used to power machinery. Yup, Anakin is pretty much SW Jesus In a relatively recent Padme book, she thinks about how Qui-Gon definitely knew she was pretending but kept it to himself to keep her safe, and that explains why he was kinda snarky with her 😂 Terrance Stamp was also General Zod in Richard Donner’s Superman 2 Did you notice the other of yoda’s species on the jedi council? A female named Yaddle. This is one of the few times we see her. Sith are the main dark side religion (not Maul’s species), the opposite of jedi. Vader and the Emperor were Sith. Not to say all dark siders are sith, but most in the movies are. Same with the jedi, not all light siders “Bone crown” never heard that one for horns 😂 Darth Maul (when he fights) is Ray Park. Very talented stunt performer and martial artist Padmé’s decoy is indeed played by Kiera Knightley. Their parents actually got them mixed up when they visited the set 😂 Can’t wait to see you reactions to 2 and 3!

Remember raiders of the lost arc , Harrison ford has a fight inside a moving truck with a German, out the window almost under the truck snd back inside ? The German was nick . . Apparently as a kid he ran away from home and joined the circus, ( early teens) eventually got into movies .

    Totally rad reaction as always! I gotta admit, when this movie first came out, I really didn't enjoy it. Like so many other SW fans, I had waited a loooonnnnggggg time for a new SW film and after waiting in line for hours, after it was over, I thought to myself, this was what I've been waiting on?!?!? But as I've gotten older, I appreciate this movie more now and I guess because of my age now, I don't judge movies as harshly as I used to, I've even gotten to like Jar Jar now.....did mesa really just say that!?!?!?! Anyway, great reaction as always and till the next time.......May The Force Be With You! Many blessings to you and yours!
