I don't usually watch any StarWarz epi past 6… The prequels, sequals, and other post epi VI films are underwhelming at best, and pathetic at worst, imo.
But your voice and thoughts are worth tuning into, Kahla. You be you, and we'll be with you! On to 2k subbers!!!
Padme is 15 while anakin is 10 and the queen on nabu is an elected official not like British family
Yourself like a lot of Star Wars fans have become Darth Maul fans for whatever reason. The double-sided lightsaber, his face coloring or his horns who knows. As far as his backstory goes, you'll have to research other sources because the films don't expand much on his origins. but I don't want to spoil anything for you so just keep watching the films to learn more. Also, if you haven't already seen it someone made a fan film about Darth Maul several years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djo_91jN3Pk&t=344s no spoiler here it's just a fan film that is not cannon to any Star Wars movie. ( at least I think it's not) anyway great reaction.
Anakin is basically space jesus (his mom is like the virgin mary) and was conceived through the Force. However, rather than being made by the light, he was seeded by the dark side; to be molded by sidious.
Yea, I was sad they killed off Qui-on, he was my favorite Jedi Happy New Year 🎉🎊
Moulin Rouge, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Kill Bill?
Two of my favorite Qui-Gon Jinn lines in this movie are:
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent" (So useable for so many people in real life)
"There's always a bigger fish."
"There's always a bigger fish."
Fun Fact: Film debut of Ahmed Best.
Actor Preparation Fact: Ewan McGregor studied many of Sir Alec Guinness's films, including Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), to ensure accuracy in everything, from his accent to the pacing of his words.
Cameos Cameos Fact: Producer Rick McCallum appears on the right, in a floppy wide-brim hat, when Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) meets Senator Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid). Sound designer Ben Burtt appears to the left of Rick McCallum (with goatee). Visual effects supervisor John Knoll plays the Naboo pilot who gets killed during the space battle.
Sound Effects Fact: The sound of the underwater monsters growling near the beginning of the film was made by the main sound technician Ben Burtt's three-year-old daughter. The sound of her crying was recorded and the frequency lowered to obtain the sound heard in the film. To create the sounds of the spectators during the pod race scene, sound designer Ben Burtt took a recorder to a San Francisco 49ers game, and recorded the crowd's reactions.
Double Duty Fact: At the time of the film's release, the producers ran a disinformation campaign to suggest that Natalie Portman played both Padmé and The Queen at all times. In fact, they are not always the same person. For many sections of the film, notably those where The Queen is wearing the black outfit with the huge feather headdress, she is actually a decoy, played by Keira Knightley. The real queen, Portman, is actually disguised as a handmaiden. Various conflicting public statements make it extremely difficult to figure out who is who. Whole websites are devoted to figuring out which actress is playing which. However I have seen some people that can tell which is which.
The Rest Of The Story Fact: Liam Neeson was so eager to be in the film that he signed on without having read the script. Keira Knightley's parents tried to convince her not to audition, but the twelve-year-old actress still sought a role, given she was a Star Wars fan. Jake Lloyd has said that he retired from acting because of the trauma he experienced after playing Anakin Skywalker. According to Lloyd, other children constantly teased him about the role, for example, making lightsaber sounds whenever he walked by. Lloyd also said that the situation was made worse because, in his opinion, the film did not meet the fans' expectations. Despite this, Lloyd has reprised the role of Anakin in several video games and has appeared at Star Wars conventions and events.
"But now I want to know Darth Maul's backstory. It's like 'How did YOU become evil?' Because this is pre-Empire, so there's not just like a government that is fostering this level of evil. This is a choice." 😆 I don't know why that took me out for a good 5 minutes, but your videos never fail to crack me up 😂🤣😂…
I had read that the film's highly skilled fight choreographer went through everyone he could find looking for someone to fight as Maul, but was not satisfied with any of them. So he ended up playing the role himself.
The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings Trilogy. And if you will do it in book release order rather than movie release order you will be only the second reactor to acknowledge the fact that the Movies are from the books and the hobbit was First Followed by The Lord Of The Rings. They are connected.
Don't listen to the haters. There's a group of SW "fans" who are stuck in 70's and early 80's. They tend to be really vocal and seem to hate anything that isn't the original films. They're usually old farts who have become so crippled by cynicism that they can't function anymore. Enjoy what you enjoy and don't let their crabbiness sway you.
Star Wars ain’t Star Wars without deep doo doo
I saw this movie on my 19th birthday in theaters which ages me lol, but ya happy new year, enjoying you going through this franchise
I would argue that Qui-Gon's death, is the most consequencial moment in Star Wars. And it's not the last time we see him. The prequel era has the most content and lore. You can't fully appreciate, the live action tv shows, without watching The Clone Wars animated series, Tales of the Jedi and later Rebels.
TCW's all takes place between eps 2 and 3. Soo much content and character. You will fall in love with Anakin, and be crushed.
I know people love the OT as do i but i think episode 3 is the best in the entire series
She likes puppets and the original trilogy better. This is now one of my new favorite channels! lol
Let me know what movies you would like to see me react to in the future!
"No one can kill a Jedi." Except Disney.
Team Jedi forever 💯
The prophecy was accurate and true, but the jedi had an overly optimistic interpretation of it.
Anakin did bring balance to the force. When he was a child, there were 10,000 jedi and 2 sith, and when vader was finished, there was one jedi master with one apprentice and one sith lord with one apprentice. Balance, like the prophecy said.
I don't know if you have ever watched the Rocky/Creed series but I know you'll love it.
The end of the fight between Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Darth Maul shows the difference between Sith and Jedi very well. When the laser partitions separated Qui Gon and Maul from each other, the Jedi began to meditate, calming down, and the Sith, on the contrary, walked in a rage like a tiger in a cage, filling himself with emotions. And when Obi Wan attacked Maul after the death of his master, you can see that he was filled with rage, which took him out of balance, since this is not the way of the Jedi and he does not know how to handle it, and Darth Maul, being a Sith who has been raised inside the order since childhood, who on the contrary feeds himself with emotions, easily he was defeated and thrown into the mine, and only when Obi Wan was able to calm down and return to balance, he was able to defeat Maul
The clone wars cartoons are really good. And the cartoon Rebels should try to watch those
It’s safe to say most people like the OT better. I also loved the puppets that were used in the OT, they were so much more convincing than cgi, which I generally loath. So glad you hated Jar Jar. We all do!
Excellent reaction and observations! Normally I would agree with you, we have to see someone die fully….but in Maul's case, he didn't just fall down the hole. He was cut clean in half LOL
Can't wait for you to watch attack of the clones
"you might blow a few of em up just for funsies" lol
Imagine being a white little kid with blonde hair watching this movie! (I think I even had the same haircut!) seeing Anakin be brought in into a larger world full of adventure.
It blew my mind and I've been a Star Wars fan ever since!
Midichlorians: Invented to get rid of the spirituality of the Force and replace it with materialism. Very 90s. Good reaction, Kahla. Thank you.
Time Code: 35:03 "… I'm lovin' this fight choreography."
greetings kahla, please watch "darth maul: apprentice". I call it star wars 0.

It has 32 million views & the fight scenes are way better & longer this movie.
You said there has to be a dad for Anikan and we can't tell you that. Later in the story (Episode 3) someone's going to tell Anikan a story about a Sith Master who had a special power, that's when you'll get the answer.
35:55 Funnily enough, most droids were better than people. The bad guys (Trade Federation) used control ships for their armies to bring down the cost of each one and use more horde tactics and overwhelm enemies. However after the Battle of Naboo, they were forced to make changes and give droids more autonomy (like R2D2/C3PO) so that they removed the weakness of a control ship.
Obi-Wan: "The Force is an energy field created by all living things…" Yoda: "Life creates it, makes it grow." Life means biological life. That means there are specific biological mechanisms that interact with the force, the way ears interact with sound waves, and cones and rods interact with light waves. It would make sense if the Jedi had technical terms for all kinds of specific elements about the universe. Midi-chlorians are just one of many examples of this. For a truly knowledgeable order, science and spirituality would be one integrated whole – not opposites or exclusive to one another.
Great reaction
Enjoyed your reaction 😊
Darth Maul is the Boba Fett of the prequels: brief appearance, but the appearance is badass. He and Qui-Gon were killed off too quick.
As impressive as the choreography is, it’s not as good as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. For that matter, martial arts movies, including Jackie Chan’s have great choreography, in general.
Get Darth maul's backstory in "Star wars: the clone wars" the animated show.
The design and costume set were very elaborate and elegant in these 3 SW prequals. A little back story on Darth Maul, he is a Zabrak(race) from Dathomir(planet) who was abducted by Darth Sidious (aka Palpatine/The Emperor), as a child and trained in the ways of the dark side of the Force. Darth Mauls character can be seen on 3 animated series, called SW Rebels and SW Clone Wars. To me Jar Jar Binks was always an annoying chararcter, they didn't need him. Originally Lucas was going to use Chewbacca's (Wookies) home planet but end up changing to Jar Jar. I vote Chewy over Jar Jar anytime. The fight sequence in this movie is one of the best, and in SW A New Hope, Lucas wanted the fight scene between older Obi and Vader to be more quicker and longer, but he didn't have the time and money to do so, however Kahla if you check out on You tube, Star Wars SC 38 Reimagined, by fxitinpost, a independent company that made CGI adaption of the Obi & Vader fight, it's really good and fits into how Lucas wanted to do it, but couldn't. Baby Vader! 😂🤣😆
6:46 😂 6:49 fun fact: Brian Blessed voice Clayton and Tarzan yelling from Tarzan in the same year as boss boss from the phantom menace in 1999.
The title of every Skywalker Saga film has a double meaning. Sometimes the true meanings are not apparent until the next film in the series.
Have you considered watching TV series? The “Foundation” TV series is a true sleeper.
Before you ask, there's only a five year age difference between Anakin (9) and Padme (14).
Not the best one out of the franchise, but still a good movie. And yeah the final fight with darth maul is on top. Enjoyed your reaction 😀
"Go, Baby Vader, go!" 😀
1. Of the prequels I like this one the best mostly for the POD race and the underwater sequences,
2. Jar Jar is mostly comic relief since we don't have C3PO
3. Liam Neeson was very busy with various productions at the time and was in huge demand and agreed to do this episode because Qui-Gon Jinn dies, and he won't be held to do more.
4. Emasculate conception?
5. It's easy to know why this one didn't start the series because of the lack of CGI back in 1977.
Enjoying your reaction as I type. Beautiful reactions and genuine, honest, real talk. Keep enjoying your SWJourney. MTFBWY sweetie! It just keeps getting better and better and better.
Made me literally laugh out loud several times. You’re very intuitive. ✨
Many of us were disappointed that the two coolest characters, Qui-Gon and Darth Maul would not be seen again. John Williams "Duel of the Fates" is both haunting and stirring. I believe it's the first time he used voices in a Star Wars score. Up until then it was instrumental.
Awesome 😎 movie
