Nah, my favorite fan theory is that Old Ben is actually Obi Wan.
I wonder if he means Old Ben Kenobi?
you kidding me? that fan-theory is absurd
Are you insane? That isn't a theory. Even theories have some level of evidence to suggest the possibility. What you're saying is just some insane headcanon.
WHAT?!
ApertureClockwork IMPOSSIBLE!!!
It kinda seems like I'm the only one who liked the prequels
The Icecream I do
The Icecream it's because the prequels aren't protected by a crap ton of nostalgia.
The Icecream ikr
People come up with incredibly dumb excuses as to why the prequels aren't bad movies. "Everyone's just nostalgia blind, the OT sucks!" or "People only shit on the prequels cause it's the hipster thing to do, bandwagon bandwagon!" The truth is, 99% of the people who saw the prequels hate the prequels because they are attrocities of filmmaking. They're absolutely terrible. That's not to say you can't like or enjoy them, but on a fundamental level, those movies are terrible.
The nostalgia excuse is especially stupid, because the people who love the prequels are usually the ones who watched them when they were kids. That's still no excuse, though. I saw the prequels when I was a kid, but I at least grew up and realized how bad they are.
I think I'm rather in the middle. I watched the originals first when I was young and then wanted to see the prequels. They were ok at that time. Later I went back and watched them all and felt that the originals blew the prequels away in almost everyway. I absolutely refuse to watch 1 again, watching 2 takes a bit of courage. I say 3 wasn't the worse thing that ever happened. 4,5,6, and probably even 7 were better in my book
tl:dr I feel 1 and 2 are objectively awful, 3 is ok, and then the originals are pretty fucking good. Second half of Rogue One is also incredible.
This video is trying to ruin my reputation. I am deeply offended by it.
Obi-Wan Kenobi come on, you nailed senator and... male Vader girlfriend hit on you
don't sweat it mate, this individual sounds like she just scanned the synopsis and took nothing outside the 3 movies into consideration
Obi-Wan may be a master of The Force be he ain't a master of pulling out.
Obi-Wan Kenobi i will always believe in the high ground!!!!!!!!!!!!
xD Hue hue :D good one :D stay strong Obi Wan Kanabis
I think it's better if you assume that Obi-Wan fell in love with Padmé but never did anything about it. Maybe Lucas could've thought about it and included it, which would've made Anakin's fall make more sense, having Anakin find out about Obi-Wan's feelings and incorrectly assume that Padmé cheated on him with Obi-Wan.
The scene in Mustafar hints at that dropped subplot. "Liar! You're with him! You brought him here to kill me!" It would make it that much more tragic if Obi-Wan decides to take care of Luke because he feels guilty that his feelings are what brought about Anakin's fall and the downfall of the entire Jedi Order.
Plus, does no one remember that Obi-Wan literally asks Padmé "Anakin is the father, isn't he?" when he sees Padmé pregnant?
Vader:"I could have been your father!!"
Luke:"Ohhhhhhhhhhh!"
In Game of Thrones, this is literally a pick-up line by one of the characters.
♞ Go Fuck Yourself ♞ Ahaha
reminds me of a line from Sergeant Johnson in Halo 1-3
"I would have been your daddy, but a dog beat me over the fence"
it's also the name of a skull in the game now lol
RIP Sgt. Avery Johnson..
Obiwan is 25 in Ep 1. Padme is 14 and Anakin is 10. There's no real indication that Padme is closer in age to Obiwan.
Prequels were fine.
Delsanar yeah the prequels were not "fine"
yeah based on the knowledge that she is 14. However, maybe obi wan liked them young... really young xD
Delsanar anakin was 9, padme was 12, and Obi Wan was 25.
i thought obi wan was like 18-20 padme was 16-18 and anakin was 10
Thank you
A better way to watch would be to see jar jar as the secret sith. He is the phantom menace.
"Darth Jar Jar" is a whole more believable than this.
Snoke is actually DJJ with a scoobi-doo mask and a voice modulator. No wonder they didn't want to reveal his identity. That's for the SW mystery spin-off: Maz Kanata and the pirate smugglers - A Star Wars Story.
It's a joke dude
Padme did not "fall" for Anakin in Phantom Menace which I wouldn't even bother to post, except that you say it maybe 30 times, she very clearly just thought he was a cute little kid and she took care of him like a babysitter would.
Exactly. Which is why it's strange that the second and third movies treat it as if she was in love with him the whole time, when it was clearly not that kind of relationship.
Yeah I'd want to bang my babysitter
Yes, but there would be serious issues if the babysitter wanted to bang YOU.
As has been stated MANY times here, women are not attracted to younger boys they met when the male is a child. As a general rule, women are not attracted to much younger men (10+ years) until they are in their mid-30s. I believe that is mostly due to teenage boys being morons. Yes, I was a teenage boy, and, yes, I was a moron. I have teenage boys and they are morons.
Same!
It's still difficult to fall in love with someone who you've known when they were a child unless you were also a child. Unless the time spent with the child was very brief and there were years of separation before meeting again and falling in love. I'm not saying women (or men) can't fall in love with people who are younger than them, but for the majority of those cases, both parties met as adults when they fell in love, never meeting as adult (or teen) and child. It's easy to imagine a child crushing on an adult though. Anakin falling in love with Padme is understandable, but Padme falling in love with Anakin is improbable.
Obi Wan was not in love with Padme. He just knew what was going on between her and Anakin but cared for both of them enough to not say a thing. What makes the prequels so amazing really is Anakin seeing that the Jedi are hypocrites, that in his eyes they are evil for creating a war and throwing away their values of peace and justice, when Anakin had to give up so much to follow the code of the Jedi, that the Jedi themselves don't need to follow. People think that Padme is the sole reason Anakin turned to the dark side, but it is only showing Anakins love for compassion and his will to only do good and seeing that power is necessary to do good. He already viewed the Jedi as hypocrites that feared him and his power, but what truly turned him against the Jedi is seeing that the Jedi were about to murder the one man that seemed to sympathize with Anakin and share his points of view. He believed everything he was doing was right, and he fought Obi wan because he feared that he, like the
Other Jedi feared him and that Obi wan came to assassinate him. He didn't truly see that what him and the emperor was doing was evil until the emperor was going to kill his only son for him showing mercy to Vader, which is what Anakin tried to show to Palpatine. He Anakin did the exact same thing to the emperor as what he did to mace Windu, he had to aggressively stop the slaughter of the helpless. Everyone who doesn't like the prequels for this reason that it seems like Anakin went from a helpless boy to an evil overlord should watch The Clone Wars, and see the true evolution of Anakin Skywalker. It talked about the romance of Anakin and Padme in only 2 episodes out of about a hundred
TankBusta Exactly, that makes the prequels a masterpiece not some stupid affair. Star Wars isn't all about romance.
TankBusta YES. The clone wars is what the prequels should have been. Well I like ep.3 ep.1was alright cause it showed Anakin as a regular kid ep. 2 I felt was the worst progression of anakin and like to believe the clones wars Anakin is the only anakin. And the best one that explains his emotions, behaviour ect in ep. 3.
When did the Jedi start a war? (They didn't) The separatist movement did, and the Republic defended itself. The Jedi accepted their duty to lead the troops, but if they hadn't, other people would have instead - people who didn't value peace so much. Anakin knew this, and the war's not why he left.
I have yet to see or hear a single good argument for why the Jedi are hypocritical.
Couldn't you say that the Jedi were hypocritical ever since they've pledged their allegiance to the Republic? Jedi are supposed to be symbols of peace and guardians for all creatures of the galaxy. By supporting the Republic during the Clone Wars, the Jedi basically condemned the peaceful inhabitants of the Separatist planets. Not to mention that their acceptance to become generals of the army is completely against their ideals. Jedi are meant to be defenders, not aggressors. So with little to no military knowledge or experience why do they willingly become generals of the army? Sure they wanted to end the war but they had no authority in the matter; the army (and thus its generals) were under orders of the Republic Senate. By willingly accepting such positions, they prevent themselves from having any say in the results of the war.
Not wanting to start a big argument, just my two cents.
What's next, Luke is actually Targaryen?
Kittycutie he's the love child if Maester Aemon and a Mole Town girl. Luke Snow's the name. Turned it into "Skywalker" to make it look more fancy.
Kittycutie how did you know that this was exactly where this was going?
This concocted reinterpretting of the Prequels would be better if you atleast ACKNOWLEDGED PRINCESS LEIA THE TWIN!?! WTF if you add her in and that her adopted parents also communicated with ObiWan who she knew spoke with as a FRIEND ONLY HOPE then it comes together better. No mention of Princess Leia make it lacking in grounded textual proof
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I am the only one that actually genuinely likes the prequels?
MrSpinel You're not alone. I also like the prequels, probably even more than the originals
Natalia Espinola Basically everyone shits on the prequels and Anakin, but I believe Anakins fall is the darkest thing to happen in any of the films. The prequels aren't perfect but they're really good. And like you said, I also might like them more than the originals.
You ain't alone at all buddy! Trust me, voices of reason don't need to speak that loudly, that's why you hear these idiots more than us :) Eps. 1-6 will always be true Star Wars, the most tragic, epic, fun, adventurous, and wondrous story ever told, no amount of stupid CZcams videos is gonna change that.
MrSpinel no
even the people who whine about the prequels secretely love them, but its a hate love relationship, its not the films we wanted, the prequel haters wanted a continuation of solo organa skywalker chewbaco R2D2 C3PO Fett... the whole getting to see what makes the characters who and what they are in the form of the expanded universe settings, events, worlds, parents, siblings/neighbors etc is very appealing, thiers just alota moaping over not getting to see hte post return of the jedi events with han luke leia chewi the new republic the empire remnants etc... and then not to get to see that all again after 7 through 9 comes out is extra salt in the wounds... which Ryan Johnson so kindly points out with hte Salty planet they fight on in 8 :) i actually appreciate the hilarious choices he does for alot of it lol
wait, Padme didn't fall in love with Anakin as a boy. what the fuck are you talking about?
That's bandwagon jumpers for you. They hate it because it's cool to hate it.
Sshhh! Quiet. Let her talk. Lol
Hahah no. Padme was never a boy, you.
She met him as a child. As most women could tell you, it's extermely difficult for a woman to see someone she knew as child as a real man. She will always see him as a child, no matter how much he grows up later.
"Most" is enough to make the story very difficult to swallow. It's like saying "most dogs can't count up to ten". Surely there must be some trained dogs that do, but if you portrait one in a movie that is untrained, it will probably look like bullshit.
No offense but this was more cringeworthy than the prequels themselves.
Please, never become a screenwriter.
Guilherme Almeida Can we get someone to think up a terrible theory to make this video better?
I have the theory that she loves the prequels and tries to make them look better by showing us how awful they could be.
Curiosidades513 I know, right?
Oh thank goodness, I thought so too. I've had hopes when I clicked to watch.
No.
Just no.
Ok just stop.
1) Padmé only fell in love with me about half way through Attack of the Clones.
2) Its only a four year age gap between me and Padmé, but Obi wan is 11 years older than Padmé.
3) Padmé would never cheat on me
4) Padmé didn’t request a bodyguard, Palpatine made her
5) Obi-Wan would never break the Jedi code
6) When I was a young boy, she didn’t fall for me, she was only nice to me because I was a kid, she actually fell in love with me when I was an adult.
7) You offended me
And Obi-Wan was already seeing someone. I also don't appreciate how rude she was towards you.
Master Skywalker!!! Its such an honor. May the force be with yoou, i loved the prequels
It's funny reading this after you've changed your nickname but other than that i agree
Anakin and Padme are closer in age.
Anakin: 9
Padme: 14
Obi wan: 25
Yeah but he was still a kid when she met him...
Ann Nee yeh it is kinda strange
Ann Nee they were both kids
Ann Nee it's not like she fell in love with him when she met him. And even he did, it's better than her loving an adult.
Not believing this, especially since obi-wan was attracted to that mandolorian chick
Smasherfan88 true but obi wan could have had more than one girlfriend in 40 years
Fancy Productions after seeing his love interest die my maul's hand I don't think he would do to his reaction at that time, even saying if she said he loved him when qui-Jon-jinn was alive and while they were on their mission to mandolore he would've left the jedi order then and there (plus this theory seems way too far fetched and is more of a "what if" instead of a theory, this is more far fetched than all those snoke theories)
Smasherfan88 fair point 👌
you know, the mandalorian chick wasn't really a thing, when the prequel-trilogy aired
TherealWinston actually yes it did. Between 2 and 3.
How to make a better Star Wars prequel:
1) Make a movie about Revan.
2) What the fuck are you waiting for?
3) Hey, Disney we're lookin' at you!
+Isaac Kramer lol
Not just about Revan, also a movie about Darth Bane too!
been saying that for years, finally someone agrees with me!
Revan's already had a fully flushed out story in the games. Plus taking away the choice that the audience would get to make in a game and replacing it with one sided writing would kinda ruin his character. I vote instead for making star wars legends cannon again, later in the galactic storyline, and making a Darth Krayt movie.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with the prequals
same
I don’t think she knows who Satine is…
RM Vikingos yeah
those movies were fine if you pretend hayden christensen was a sociopath or someone with asperger's trying to act like a normal human which is honestly what i thought they were going for anyway.
+TheSammiPuppy George Lucas also may have intended Jar-Jar to be a villain. And people thought he was juvenile and it hurt Lucas's feelings.
You know a psychologist actually diagnosed him with borderline personality disorder.
Probably not BPD, but PTSD which can look very similar. He was a decent kid, but then stuff happened.
The sociopath thing explains him murdering a room full of children.
Reason for his actions are probably influenced by his upbringing. Remember he wasn't educated by a developed civilisation (the republic). he was a slave and came from a part of the galaxy that nobody cared about.
I've got my own fan theory that actually dovetails nicely with this one: Padme never legitimately fell in love with Anakin. He spent all of Ep 2 attempting to Jedi Mind Trick her into submission. Just watch the fireplace scene and assume that every time he squints, he's poking at her mind. Then extend that to the whole movie. *It works.* And it makes her out-of-nowhere and way too strident declaration of love in the Arena make so much more sense.
Then, along with this vid, you've got yourself a legitimate love triangle going on that also mirrors the Light vs Dark themes of all the Star Wars movies, with the battleground being Padme's heart and soul.
totally, even if he does it without truly knowing. also makes sense how those jedi can 'see' the future, since they are directly influencing others with the force they can 'make' the future happen the way they see it.
also why they're not allowed to have relationships because they may not have a loving committed equal partnership, they could be mind raping their spouse and no one would really know...?
Great theory, actually. It works perfectly with this video's theory. It makes for a perfect way to see the prequels in a new light.
so Anikin did a Cosby on Padme.
>implying Padme is simple minded enough to be mind tricked.
Yeah, this whole theory falls apart completely when Padme only started to have feelings for Anakin in Attack of the Clones, not the Phantom Menace. Literally the only reference to a Padme/Anakin pairing in Phantom Menace is that Anakin sees Padme as beautiful, guessing from the dialogue there's a slight suggestion he's crushing on Padme, but I'd say that's really just an innocent child like crush, not a burning sexual attraction.
In adittion I think she hasnt even watch clone wars
Yeah, thank you. She missed a few things, that being one of em.
@@Luisteing She did miss a few things but she’s referring to the trilogy in isolation
But then it ruins the line that star wars most famous line: Luke, I am your father
"No,I am your father."
Not, anymore. Lol
*step father
Darth Vader did not say that, he said; "No... I am your father."
Hahaha! Oh, the epic fail xD
pretend jar jar is actually the sith lord behind it all.
I wish they did that because.
They were going to do that but Lucas chickened out and made Dooku the secret Sith. I like to pretend though.
***** Sith Jar Jar makes sense in Episode 1. It doesn't in the later ones. I wish Jar Jar was revealed to be Count Duku.
Or Jar Jar's not a Sith Lord, he's an agent for a galactic exterminator set to destroy all the carriers of midi-chlorians, which are manipulating their hosts. He half succeeds in setting them against each the each other, but eventually loses when the Emperor dies and Luke and his kids spread the force through the galaxy.
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" isn't a story, it's a warning. They're here now..
So you are saying Midi-Chlorians are like an STD and jar jar was the antibiotic? The Sith are so angry because the force burns them when they pee And the Jedi forbid love because With love you spread the darkside to others? ;) hmm..
I cant see old Ben and Luke with out thinking "49 times we fought that beast, your old man and me"
Dammit!... now I have to go watch that again... and again...
she had a chicken head with duck feet, and a woman's head too.
I did the same thing now I have that song stuck in my head
and she was waiting in the bushes for them
that's just a big cow
I'm so tired of the prequels getting hate. THEY'RE NOT BAD MOVIES
yeah, they are horrible movies.
Oh c'mon, Anakin was terribly acted in 2 & 3
I don't have w problem with 2 and 3 but I hated 1
they’re terrible movies
It’s a good era but the movies are horribly made
The Prequels were a masterpiece.....
The only genuine problem these movies have that I see is the direction. If Lucas made someone else the director like with TESB and RotJ, these movies would have had the legendary status the originals had.
And if he'd let the actors ad-lib in better dialogue, like Harrison Ford did in the originals...
Shaun Gibson and hired a decent screenwriter, better actors, did more practical effects instead of CGI overkill, got rid of Jar Jar and every other stupid cartoon character, skipped the boring political crap, made the characters likable and endearing, made the plot make sense instead of being a nonsensical mess, you might be right.
lincolnlobster
Ewan MacGreggor's a good actor when he's got decent material to work with. Just watch Trainspotting. Samuel L. Jackson could have been SO much fun as a motherfucking Jedi! And Christopher Lee. Christopher fucking Lee. No, there were good actors there. They just had nothing to work with.
neuralmute He is. I was mostly referring to the likes of Christensen, Portman, Jake Lloyd, etc. McGregor did a fine job as Obi Wan despite having no real direction or decent scripts.
The problem was no one would tell Lucas no. With the originals he had much less power over the decisions that were made.
But I'm already secretly in love with Padme. Now I have Anakin AND Obi Wan to compete with. Fack.
baseballlover312 i dont think youll survive. Sorry man
And not to forget Thor.
baseballlover312 i'm in love with both Obi Wan and Anakin, and I'm even more jealous of Padme
baseballlover312 and me
baseballlover312 well it looks like a duel to the death then... I'll bring the popcorn for my own enjoyment
I liked the prequels
Me too. I dont understand why so many people bash them so hard.
If Chuck Norris said it there should be no further discussion. EVER.
Personally I think a shoehorned in, teen drama, cliche ridden, love triangle would have made the movie worse. But, I am firmly against love trianges in any fiction so what do I know.
watch the entirety of the clone wars series(not movie)
That will make the trilogy better.
You can thank me later.
Haiiry Cake watching movie helps so you at least know who Asoka is
The series introduce ahsoka..
Haiiry Cake the movie actually does. Let's us know how she got chosen to be Anakin's padwan
04Mrdynasty The Clone Wars is an anthology series, meaning that not all of the episodes are in chronological order. Chronologically, the movie takes place some time in season 2, meaning that Ashoka was introduced in the series.
That doesn't really matter.
My only point was that she was introduced adequatly in the series, and that the movie therefore was unnecesary.
This because the movie is largely crap in comparison
"Closer to her age" WRONG!!!!!!!!
Obi-Wan is not closer to her age. Obi-Wan is 25, Padme is 14, Anakin is 9.
She's not even a Princess; she's a Queen; elected Queen.
JediDanD pretty sure she means the actors age, genius. Regardless, it paints anakin as an even more ham fisted buffoon that padme only tolerated because he was obi wans friend/responsibility
Jake Lloyd and Natalie Portman are 8 years apart whereas Portman and McGregor are 10 years apart. She's still closer in age to Anakin either way you look at it.
Mcregor wasn't in the first one. And since that came first, it has to be the one others are based on. An obvious 8 year old, a 20~something, and another 20~something.
Natalie Portman was only 17 when Episode I was released in theaters.
Yes, McGregor was in "the first one", he's the one playing Obi-Wan through the entire trilogy.
I'll yell ya what would've made the prequels better. If they would've revealed Jar Jar as the Sith Lord like what had actually been planned
That should have happened in the sequel trilogy instead of bringing back Palpatine. Might have fixed things.
That was never planned, it's just a theory.
YYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS
The Clone Wars series established that Obi Wan was in love with Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore, not that they ever acted on their feelings for each other. I doubt that Obi Wan would have slept with Padme but not Satine.
why I don't agree with this
1. This completely DESTROYS Obi-wan's character. The fact that he betrayed Anakin, who is like his brother, is horrifying
2.The Skywalker's would be much weaker
3.The "No, I am your father" quote would be ruined
4. Padme is a QUEEN. Q U E E N
5.Padme never requested a bodyguard. Palpatine did that for her. In fact, she didn't want one. Instead, she wanted to figure out who was trying to kill her
6. Obi-wan is 11 years older than Padme, whereby Anakin is only 5 years younger
7. Anakin would feel Luke wasn't his child
8. Luke confirmed that Anakin was his father, and the force doesn't lie
9. What about Leia?!
10. Then what about the thing about "dying of a broken heart?" Then what killed her?
11. This ruins the OT. Now, the scenes of Luke and Anakin and the way that Luke wants to bring Anakin back is no longer heartfelt and emotional
12. In TCW, Obi-wan is shown CLEARLY in love with the senator Satine Kryze from Mandalore
Satine Kryze ain't a senator, but I agree about everything.
Well, I wasn't exactly in love with her.
1 A little but Obi Wan was never the MOST honest guy in the world. He lied to Luke. He had lovers when he wasn't supposed to. He dealt with the most seedy people for info and favors all the time.
2 Obi Wan was VERY strong with the force. Was a young Jedi Master and defeated a young Vader in 1 on 1 combat. Very Strong. He defeated Grevious 1 on 1 (yeah I know Mace hurt Grevious but he was still a beast most Jedi couldn't handle alone)
3 Not if the twins had 2 different fathers and Vader fathered only Luke
4 Queens and other people in power are the most notorious for affairs.. so what's your point?
5 whatever
6 Girls usually have crushes on older men not the other way around. 14=Puberty 9=playschool. I'm 12 years older than my wife. (yes she's way more than legal ;)
7 See point 3
8 See point 3
9 Vader never sensed Leah as his daughter even when he spent hours interrogating her and he's known her for years. Hmmm.. Never calls her daughter. Just says Obi Wan's failure is complete. And really it was manipulation to get Luke to come out of hiding and fight. He know's Luke is his son after a few chance encounters and never close up until they fight in Empire. Vader's perception skills must suck with Leah.
10 Dumbest line in the movie. Probably lots of dark side energy from Vader killed her. Also there are a variety of ways a mother can die in childbirth. Especially unprepared.
11 This is actually in line with this whole argument. Obi Wan is the type to fall in love. Take a temporary lover and because of his Jedi code sever the attachment, leaving his lovers out to dry. Padme could have loved him and he her but he'd never commit like Anakin did. So Anakin was the one around when Obi Wan couldn't commit due to his Jedi "honor". People have been known to be in love with multiple people
I never had any "lovers". I had a mutual attraction to Satine but that was as far as it went. I did not do anything with her or had a secret relationship with her. I would I never ever deliberatly disobey the Jedi code. When I was younger and rasher, I said I would leave the Jedi order for Satine because I would never live a lie to have a relationship with Satine while still remain a Jedi. I would do one or the other. I would die for the Jedi and I am am willing to die, do you really think my will is not strong enough tocontrol my own desires?
Fan theory/fiction not canon. Mine is assuming Obi Wan to be occasionally dishonest. Its not far from what we've seen and would work as a narrative. "Vader killed your father". Yeah Obi Wan always tells the truth as much as Mr Spock does.
I have a better way to watch the prequels. SENATE AND JEDI COUNCIL ONLY.
What is wrong with you.
Kinda like watching C-Span with worse acting but better graphics.
You're comment just made it better XD
C-Span...in spaaaaaaaaaace!!! lol
like the presidential debates?
Umm the story arch doesn't need to be adjusted. The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker is one of the most compelling modern epics as is. The problem was not the story but the movies.
This video was amazing. Not only was mindblowing but also fun af.
Thank you Cracked; this side of the history is hella perfect to explore. Lovely work!
You know it's funny, canonically, the age difference is way different. Anakin is nine, padme is fourteen, and obi wan is 25. so I see Anakin as the less creepy option. if I were to improve the prequels with only one major change, I'd do it by making Anakin fifteen. it'd be a nice homage to the original, and give credence to Luke and his very quick mastery of the force. it would also impressive other things. In episode one it could set up the very non creepy romance bit, it would give the council's initial decision more meaning (fifteen year olds are cocky assholes) it would make every single Anakin scene more believable, especially the accidental " I blew up the federation ship and won the war" thing. it would also shift the balance of the movie and dialogue so that he is more involved, and cutting out as much as possible of a certain unsavory individual.
on to episode two. not a whole lot changes here, just make the time gap five years instead of ten, to accentuate his prodigy skill level, and to start a firm foundation with padme that is way less rapey, as instead of this weird cougar hunter thing, we can see a more mature, but fundamentally still cocky young adult, a real Han like character, with a lot more power that he takes granted and has fun with when no one's looking. As he wasn't really stunted by how young he left his mom, he isn't such a bitch, he had time before becoming a Jedi to get more world wise, and now instead of "I have to save my mommy" we get someone full of guilt, because at fifteen, he feels like there was more he could have done to save his mom, and it's a bit fresher in his mind. his relationship with obi wan is not too different, very junior cop to senior detective still, but makes more sense as the age gap isn't quite as large, and they've had the necessary closeness of age to develop a more equal brotherhood for episode three
on to episode three. another five years pass, and while things aren't massively different, moms dead, he's secretly married, she's pregnant, he's found more equal footing with obi wan, but now instead of the weird emotionless to emotional mood swings he has cause he never had any real teenage development, he has some coping mechanisms, he's gotten to the point where he's ambitious. instead of the mess that was episode three, he advanced so quickly in the first five years to be a Jedi knight that he didn't quite understand why he isn't a master, and it's beyond his control, which makes him itch, he feels the need to be in control. he's chafing against the reins and that's the ultimate reason he turns, he wants to get more powerful quicker. not some fever dream of a dying padme, he just thinks he's the chosen one so he has to get more powerful. And his choice to turn should be earlier, something he hides from everyone from early on second act, and watch as they slowly realize it
At fourteen, Padme would probably still be in the middle of puberty, which makes Obi-Wan a much better choice for Padme what with all of her hormones dialled up to eleven.
Main reason I think Anakin is so young in Ep1 was that Lucas intended it for the 9-yo crowd. Explains Jar-Jar too.
even so she never showed any interest in ob1 probably because she was busy trying to save the planet she was in charge of and he was a jedi, she may have thought he was attractive that that doesn't mean shit and its only conjecture, where as she was interested in ani from the moment she met him though not sexually for obvious reasons in fact it wasn't until episode 2 that she became sexually attracted to him and if he didn't pursue her so relentlessly she wouldn't of got together with ani at all as she was mature and logical for her age and did not like to fantasize about foolish things as being a queen and then a senator takes a lot of time and hard work leaving little room for things like boys and relationships. seriously wtf people the story is there if you didn't grasp it watch it again its not complicated, its really not.
Good idea. I would put him at 13 though instead of 15. It's the perfect age to not be a child, but still have zero control of your life. Additionally, it would keep him younger than Padme, an important fact in their relationship. Anakin, powerless at age 13 would meet a queen only one year older than him. Already, she would seem very mature to him despite the lack of a real age gap. This would be a driving factor in his development during his Jedi training over the next 5 years. Anakin would work hard to prove himself a mature Jedi the next time he met Padme. When he does in episode 2, he would be 18 and she would be 19. Anakin would think that he'd matured enough for her only to realize that he had not. He was still a cocky kid and she a respected Senator. Although the relationship/marriage would still happen, Anakin would harbor feelings of inadequacy, which would push him even more towards ambition and power.
I'd agree with making Anakin fifteen in Episode 1, if for no other reason, for the fact that it would help to streamline the movie a bit more by taking out unnecessary plots in favor of expanding necessary character growth. What i mean by that is getting rid of Tatooine altogether and expanding the time they are on Naboo to start having the palace rescue mirror the Death Star rescue in A New Hope.
I know, I know. TFA got shit on from aping ANH and Empire too much, but it all depends how how you do such things as if they ultimately work well.
This really ruins episode V though.
"No, I am your father. Except, not really lol xD"
Chandler Bing Exactly!
Just rephrase it........'Who's ya Daddy!'
ESB 2018 special edition:
He told me you killed him!
Yes, he is your father.
"I am your daddy."
Chandler Bing Luke I Am Your Father=Mandela Effect.
I love the prequels
But it doesn't make sense cuz anakin senses that luke is his son
Nah, I think he senses he's one with the force, not so much that he's his son.
Anakin was the virgin birth and Obi Wan died a virgin. The circle is now complete.
for anybody who didn't go to catholic school, let me explain- "virgin birth" is a theological term that means "minor impregnated by celibate clergyman"
so yeah... obi-wan's the father.
and also Luke and Leia aren't twins. Luke is actually five years older, but that information could get obi-wan in a lot of trouble, so they just separated him from the girl and transferred him to a quiet parish on tattooine.
Max, I always knew her baby bump was too small for twins of that maturity! Added to fan theory.
wrong he had a thing with the peaceful mandalorian leader
personally I think this theory is stupid
and some of these fan theories are so far fetched. like I don't know. this one
Care to elaborate?
Erik M. Does he need to? This theory is fucking retarded
Erik M. Does he need to? This theory is fucking retarded
LET US HAVE OUR FUN
This is broken. Obi had Satine in the Clone Wars tv show, which is still canon.
Luke Amparo true
This works until you watch the clonewars
This, combined with the knowledge of Jar Jar Binks being Darth Plagueis, makes the prequels 1000x times better.
Darth Plagueis is a Mun. They look nothing like gungans.
Atticus Lee That's just what he wanted you to think.
jar jar is Darth plagueis, BUT Darth plagueis is secretly the hero, because he's the only one who successfully restrains Darth Vader, by force-warping the very fabric of galactic society to keep Darth Vader as the NUMBER TWO man INSIDE the walls of government. otherwise, Vader goes rogue, builds his own army, and either takes over the galaxy with billions of casualties OR goes back out to tattooine, where "the republic doesn't exist" and builds is own hellish kingdom, where he is challenged by no one and fucks a hundred planets to death until the day he dies.
i am more open to the theory that jar jar is a force sensitive puppet being used by plagueis who trains his pawn to hide himself from the jedi much the same as both palpatine and plageius does themselves, jar jar isn't crazy powerful or anything just skilled and trained enough to hide in plain sight.or u could take plagueis out and say jar jar was plapatine's secret agent
fo sho
I don't think Obi-Wan is a pedophile.
moonman_v lol so true
But it's okay for Padme to be one...? Besides, what teenage girl wouldn't have had a man crush on a young OB1 (still closer in age than young Anakin) and, either way, the physical "love" part didn't take place until "10 years later."
Hawkeyeaeils Padme is a 3 or 4 years older than Anakin.
A lot closer than Obi-Wan and her.
If we are going by actor-age, we have a 10 year old Anakin, an 18 year old Padme and a 28 year old Obi-Wan. So yeah, TECHNICALLY the age gap between Padme and Anakin is bigger, but still, a romance between the older of these two makes a LITTLE bit more sense, doesn't it?
Besides, even if we assume Padme is meant to be a bit younger, it's still WAY more likely she'd be crushing on an "older guy" than on a child. And since the movies are supposed to be 10 years apart, she'd be in her 20's in the second movie regardless, which makes a theoretical relationship between her and Obi-Wan zero creepy.
you say there are 8 years between Anakin and Padme and 10 years between Padme and Obi-Wan then say that the age gap between Padme and Anakin is bigger, am I missing something here?
This video theory is so bad that it actually makes me appreciate how good the prequels really are.
This theory is honestly pretty awful...
Jar Jar once spoke to Padme. Wait...i have a new theory!
Paulo Lameiras don't forget she made him senator...
I like them but not love them like the original trilogy
He had a really long tongue.
@@suraa4372 Jar Jar used the force to manipulate her into making him a senator.
On a side note:
If you think about it, Padme had the largest role in creating the Imperial Empire and allowing the Sith to win.
A) It was her vote as a senator that ultimately gave Palpatine his executive powers, there-fore creating a galactic dictatorship.
B) Her relationship with Anakin is what ultimately drove Anakin towards the dark side.
- Had Padme not been in the picture, Palpatine would have not only been without a _second-to-none_ apprentice, but would not have been granted the power by the senate that he was.
Makes you think if actually all along *she* was either Palp's apprentice, or at very least an agent of the dark side.
mmmmm okay, you can have your theories, but i'll remind you that a) padme was 14 when she advocated for palpatine to be the chancellor, and on the same note i'll remind you that he's probably the most powerful force-user in the galaxy at this point and also a master manipulator. and b) padme isn't responsible for anakin's issues, full stop. there was literally no way that she could have anticipated or stopped his fall.
also, had padme not been in the picture, palpatine would still be pulling anakin's strings like the gross, creepy puppetmaster he is.
If you read the Republic Commando books, you find out that Palpatine is way more of a string puller than the movies actually show you. There was little chance of him not getting his way.
Or maybe stay with me....She was just dumb.
"You know how to make a bad political sci-fy fantasy movie a good movie? Just insert a love triangle"
Suuuuure... worked fine in hunger games
She is so right about this new way to look at Star Wars movies.
Kenobi is always saying that Anakin is to reckless and should think before acting yet it's Obi-Wan who jumps out the window and grabed that droid. That's totally an Anakin stunt.
Wouldn't it be better if Anakin was driven to the Dark Side because he kept trying to be with Padme but she wanted Kenobi but Obi-Wan tells her he is a Jedi and his life is on a different path then hers and she ends up with Anakin as her second choice only to realize she always wanted Kenobi over him?
This is so stupid I feel like reporting it.
You're a CZcams Hero.
Saltyk Saving people from stupidity since 2008.
TL;DR This theory does not make the story better.
Things that bother me about this theory:
1. If Obi Wan is the father of the twins, he just didn’t give a shit about Leia.
2. It ruins the parallels of Luke’s story to Vader’s, not to mention that is completely screws up Force Awakens. This means that family fucking up the galaxy is the Kenobi’s not the Skywalker’s. And Kylo Ren is actually worshiping his grandmother’s semi-love interest that has no connection to him at all.
3. Obi Wan sleeping with his best friend’s wife is such betrayal to his character. And if Padme liked Obi Wan, she sure as hell is sending mixed signals to Anakin like going on romantic getaways, kissing him, marrying him in secret, sleeping with him, etc. What would be Padme’s motivation to manipulate Anakin if she wanted Obi Wan? Why would she “lose the will to live”?
4. In Ep.I, their ages are Anakin 9, Padme 14, and Obi Wan 25. While it makes sense for Padme to have crush on a 25 year old, it’s pretty cringe worthy for Obi Wan to crush on a 14 year old. Padme and Anakin’s early friendship was just that, a friendship. Their platonic bond doesn’t change until 10 years later when Padme realizes Anakin got hot. (It’s like all the mothers that suddenly got the hots for Justin Bieber when he turned 18). Padme and Obi Wan’s relationship seems more like brother/sister.
The prequels fine, just accept that Jar Jar is the Sith Lord that orchestrated the decent of Anakin.
Perhaps it's one of those things where Obi Wan didn't know if the twins were his. So it's not that he didn't care about Leia, he just did what he thought was best for her and not having someone to take Luke, he thought it best to be keeping an eye on his maybe son. Which could be why he's so vague about such things. Unless... do you think they had like, medichlorine detectors, to tell who is someone's father? Like DNA?
I don't know, I'm totally being devil's advocate here.
"Obi Wan didn't know if the twins were his" hahahahaha Padme is such a bitch hahaha
Or maybe they aren't his. There. Fixed everything.
To retort, with all due respect:
1. This is a universe filled with deceit and secrets. "Thanks Obi-Wan, I appreciate you taking care of my one and only baby," is totally something that a Padme who lost everything would say to him before she slipped away to her second, even-more-secret-er kid.
2. I actually think it should be a mystery for the whole series whether the kids are Obi's or Anakin's, makes things more mysterious! And confusing! Like the real world!
3. I'm totally okay with the idea that Padme REALLY loved Obi-Wan, but got manipulated into marrying Anakin by his subconscious force-manipulation. And Obi-Wan is a total pimp, as evinced by Empress Satine.
4. Padme and Obi can absolutely be friends in Ep 1 and secret/forbidden lovers in Ep 2.
I've seen enough Steve Wilkos, Jerry Springer and Maurey to know that just because you think a kid is yours doesn't make it so. Regardless Kylo Ren is still worshiping his forefather sith. If you remember at one point in history all Spartans thought they had the blood of hercules, you must consider how how the passing of time effects what we know.
I myself come from a family who's grandfather lied to my grandmother about his name and now he has great grandchildren that bare a last name that didn't exist before his marriage. I still use this name even if it is not proper to what my name should be.
Whether being named Kenobi or Skywalker it does not change what or who Kylo Ren is from the perspective of his chosen actions, as I said earlier, he very well would worship Vader even if he was a Kenobi because he is darkside.
Vader: Luke, I'm not your father.
Luke: Noooooooooooo...wait...What? What are you talking about?
Awwww SNAP!
this is exactly what I wished for before the movies came out
And what I felt when I saw it!
Do one about how Emma Watson and Tom Felton's sexual tension changed the entire plot of the movies
OO! I like that...
I thought she had sexual tension with Daniel Radcliffe.
this!
+loudboy317 I thought that too!!
yes
Good points. But a better thing: Darth Jar-Jar.
Yes please.
Those wouldn't have to be mutually exclusive. The movies could have supported both.
Much better plot twist!
Yeah, he was manipulating Anakin from the beginning to drive a wedge between him and his jedi masters - and the love affair between Padme and Obi-wan was too convenient. Jar-Jar pushes him towards Padme even though she's already in secret-love with Obi-Wan, and knows that he can do so without confrontation as neither jedi can openly admit their affair.
Eh. I think this was better, but why not have both?
OMG!!! Just Genius!!! Thanks for repairing those. Maybe do something bout Matrix as well??? Can't wait :D
This isn't serious, right? Come on and Obi Wan knows attachments are forbidden. "He's the father, isn't he?" Says Master Obi Wan. Hmmmm and wouldn't she just ya know show who she really was in love with instead of faking it🤔 Sorry but I disagree with your theory.
Courtney the Dark Princess
You do realize Kenobi had feelings for Satine, right?
Made it worse tho
LeXyZ he had feelings for Satine, but as far as we know he never acted on those feelings like Anakin.
Courtney the Dark Princess yeah, I also think that it would be very stupid to have Padmé pretend to be deeply in love with Anakin while secretly wanting Obi-Wan. In fact anyone who thinks that must have a really low opinion of Padmé if they think that she would lead on one man even going so far as to have a secret marriage to him that could potentially ruin his life while wanting another who also happens to be his mentor and older brother figure. What next, does the person want Luke and Leia to secretly Obi-Wan’s children even though it would ruin one of the most important plot points of the Original Trilogy?
or just remove Jar Jar and shorten the Senate scenes.
And disintegrate the "Roger, Roger" droids.
+R5d4d2 Yes, please. Most annoying things in Star Wars:
1) Stupid battle droids
2) People in armor getting knocked out by a stick or a tiny stone
3) C-3PO
4) Jar Jar
But the senate scenes were great!
SelvesteSand I agree. Those scenes gave some context for everything else that was going on and how the Emperor rose to power. Really cool imo. I think completely removing this from Ep. 7 was a mistake.
Jar Jar is dank though if you look up the 'Darth Jar Jar Theory".
There is a bit more to fix than just Jar Jar and the senate. Like make the romance believable, write better dialog, better casting choices, better use of great actors, giving the clones some personality so there are stakes in the war....
Also imagine that Jar jar is a sith lord
Golles Hoshigaki he is, Lucas himself said so
Skorchinq Proof
He is. Disney is just waiting for the right moment to reveal it.
Get out of here
Now THAT would fix it. What a cunning bastard.
Love this SO much
This is brilliant!!
So Darth Vader isn't Luke's father? That ruins the whole saga.
No way. It makes it way better. Luke is Obi-Wan's child. Killing Obi-Wan didn't take away his anger, and attempting to kill Obi-Wan's son didn't either. So Vader hatches a scheme to surprise him at Cloud City and wear him down physically and psychologically so he could fuck with his head. He knew Luke's parentage would be in question, so just to be a bastard and really destroy his enemy's son and get a better revenge, he waits for a weak moment and then pounces on him by claiming to be his father. If you view all of it that way, it's so much more epic. Vader's motivations make more sense. Why would he want to try to kill his own son or fail to recognize him the first time he saw him? It's an elaborate revenge plot! Way more interesting.
No, it destroys every single thing that Star Wars stood for, it ruins the very core of the franchise, the beating heart that is the original trilogy.
Or it adds a whole new layer of depth...
How?
How does it actually make any sense to the story as a whole in any way?
It doesn't make any sense at all on the ending of the movie certainly at all, it completely destroys those scenes.
Then you have Yoda lying, you have a complete break of Kenobi's character, you have broke one of the biggest plot twists in cinema history, you have the kind of cheese the prequels were criticized for taken to a much further level, it retcons half the story and is really, really dumb. It destroys the story. It breaks Vader's progression, it breaks Kenobi's character, it destroys the main story that the entire universe is built around.
It would actually not break the story or characters if the twins had different fathers. Vader fathered Luke at the same time Obi Wan fathered Leah. Its biologically possible and only really destroys Padme's character a little. Obi Wan was never the most honorable Jedi Knight. He lied to Luke "stretching the truth". He was rebellious to the counsel. He had at least 1 other love affair. Padme's honor is in question here having 2 lovers but its not an uncommon thing at all. It would even explain a few things. Like why Vader figured out that Luke is his son after only a few chance meetings and not Leah who, being a senator, I'm sure he's had much more contact with. He interrogated her and never got so much as a sense that something was strange about her. When he figures out Leah is Luke's sister he says "Sister, you have a twin sister" He never uses the word daughter. He does mention Obi Wan's failure is complete. At most it might mess up Kylo in the new trilogy but we have yet to see what happens.
But... But Duchess Satine...
Well maybe after her death Obi Wan considered another option...
it has flaws, but i think that if this were true with some small modifications to the lore it would make the prequels better
Woops, Clone Wars isn't canon... Right? Right guys...?
Satine? What's with Ewan McGregor and Satines?
TheSavageNerds I know, it was a joke.
Padme never "requested an old friend" to be her guard. The Jedi suggested a guard and Palpatine suggested Obiwan and Anakin.
4:06 dang.... Padme's got some long legs!!!
Padme was 14 in Phantom Menace and Anakin was 9. Obi-Wan was at least in his mid-20s.
Truman Fleming enough said what 14 year old girl was looking at a nine-year-old think you are he's so hot as opposed to a 14 year old girl looking at a 20 something year old man thinking like wow
Truman Fleming thank you, Obi-Wan was 11 years older than Padme, THATS a gross age differents
No average 14 year old girl is sexually attracted to a grown man.
You should try talking to some 14yr old girls. Novel experience, to be sure.
Truman Fleming Actually, that's not really true.
She obviously hasn't seen clone wars
prequel are far away from bad movies, especially EP III
Dude this is great!
That fight just got way more intense.
With this idea, you're making Star Wars into a teenager cliché romantic comedy.
And George Lucas' idea of what romantic dialog sounds like didn't do that already?
MeBeMat roasted Lucas like Obi Wan roasted Anikan.
No...it would be a teenager cliché romantic melodrama.
Isitop isn't it already? 😂
You didn't fix the second trilogy, you broke the original
LEOODARTHVADER2 so true
obi wan is in love with dutchess satine from mandalore bruh
He 'accidentally' made a masterpiece in 1977, he couldn't make lightning strike twice. He took a lot of risks and he had a little too much pride to cater to the old fan-base. That's it.
this kinda falls apart when Obi Wan asks Padme "Anakin is the father isn't he, i'm so sorry" when he tells her Anakin turned to the dark side.
Yeah
Shh!
yeah also the fact that the force is strong in luke and lea cause it runs in the skywalker family, which is the whole point if everything
Thank You! This video is tying to ruin my reputation.
I don't believe in this theory but even if there is a chance it's true, that reinforces it because it suggests he's slept with Padme aswell and he's checking if the babies are his or Anakin's
No, obi won had a lover in the clone wars and she died
jack the dino hunter ikr,so sad😢
jack the dino hunter and clone wars is canon
We were not lovers.
Obi-Wan Kenobi you're a terrible liar
We were just friends by then. Maybe we had feelings for each other when we were younger but we never acted on those feelings and by the time the Clone Wars started we had not seen each other for years. I'm not trying to be coy, out lives just took different paths.
Well it clear that she didn’t see the Clonewars
The first two minutes of this video I notice this woman does not know what she is talking about. Number one: the age difference between Anakin and padme is at best 5 years. Compare that to Padme and Obi Wan which is at least 10 years, she is like 14 where as he is close to 30. Then she says well Padme suggested an old friend for her protection. She didn't suggest that was Palpatine. She actually didnt want protection at first. Enough, I dont need to watch the rest of this video.
According to Lucas himself the original story was that Anakin did get jealous and expected an affair between Pad and Obi. Sadly in order to make it more kids friendly that was changed into the non-convincing story line presented in episode III.
When did he say that?
it was mentioned in a bonus sound track on the dvd for episode III.
Dammit what a shame. The prequels always seemed to be much more marketed towards kids. It should have been as dark as a galactic saga would have to be. Like Rogue One
piss u clearly r blind fools
I actually kinda assumed Obi-Wan and Padmé had somethin' going on since the first time i watched the phantom menace
same
ACWDjack Both of you just stop.Its a movie and the whole Empire scene would be so worthless
the video was better than I expected from the title
Thanx love it
It could have been....
....but then all the Darth Vader "I am your father" thing with Luke would be false, ruining the good SW movies.....
I think it's better to leave the prequels as they are, shitty but not Dangerous for the original Trilogy.
what if Vader wasn't sure though? what if he saw that there may have been a possibility that it was his son?
women can often times get pregnant by two different men and have twins, each twin being the offspring of the mother and one of the two males.
maybe Leia was anakin's daughter, maybe Luke was obiwan's son. this would explain why Vader might have felt more of an interest in finding Luke's sister when they were fighting in Return of the Jedi, it also explains why Luke and Leia look different from one another (not that people can't have twins with different hair colors). it also explains Kylo Ren being the grandson of Vader because he's the son of Leia.
I think that if this theory were true, Vader thinking that Luke were his son might be explained by him reading the force incorrectly and mistaking him for his son when his actual kid was Leia. another supporting piece of evidence is Vader's interaction with Leia in a new hope.
all I'm saying is that this theory is plausible and more entertaining when viewing the series as a whole. for me the story isn't ruined, it's only amplified by making it more of a soap opera, and that's what star wars is--a soap opera in space.
Yeah I thought the same thing... The Gravity of the moment when Luke's hand is cut off...also obi wan wouldn't be such a great guy if he was f***ing Luke's mom...his credibility and character go out the window. He turns from an honorable knight to an adulterer...he isn't nearly as likable or trustworthy at that point. So; for me it is more likely that the two actors were just higher quality which stokes the fires of fans...bc of on screen chemistry- and it reveals the need to cast of a terrible actor in a way that explains his inability to integrate into the story or carry the weight of his character. Although plausible; it throws a giant seedy backstory that defiles the entire motivations of all the characters involved into a contempuous plot line in the minds of women with loose morals. Who lack the inability to see how a woman sleeping with two men at the same time ruins it for the rest of us. It was just a shitty movie
Mint Julep
this is super petty and unimportant to what you were trying to say, well, not completely unimportant, but you don't know how to use semi colons and dashes properly.
No one is saying that his theory is canon, obviously, it's just an alternative way of viewing a movie for those who can't bare the prequels. You are right, they were shitty movies. Everyone knows that,and with all due respect, I don't think you or anyone else in this comment section saying that the movies were just shitty movies and that there was no romance between Obi and Padme aren't adding anything to the conversation.
Not that you aren't entitled to your own opinion, I just feel like it's a bit redundant and pointless to restate the obvious, it's redundant and pointless to restate what's canon.
I've that Lucas's first choice for Anakin was some famous actor, can't remember who, but turned it down because he was intimidated by such an important role.
Subwucifer
If Anakin had killed Jar Jar that would have been a better movie.
Dean Morrow lel tru
xiiyaenxzi in the words of Regina George, stop trying to make Darth Jar Jar happen. Darth Jar Jar is nothing but a fan theory and there is really nothing but fan speculation to prove that he was secretly a Sith Lord. Also what would be the point plot wise to have him secretly be a Sith Lord?
Dean Morrow I have one better, Jar Jar not existing would have been a better movie.
i have a feeling that was the original plans to some degree to have anakin fight either jar jar or someone that he thought was jar jar
why do all the sithe lords have to be out and about declaring their sithness? some sithlords just want to quietly read in a librarian and stare ravishingly at statues of fellow sithe lords they absolutely would demolish in bed if they could drag them back to the planet they are waging a war against
Great ideas, Maggie
I like Anakin's confusión about all this during their last encounter when he sees Obi Wan and It all leads to a Shakespearean tragedy.
As for the rest of the theory ... NOPE!
Padme even told Anakin she loved him before they entered the prisoner's arena in case they might die, she said this even after his mad speech after his mother died, and she also went to get him back at Mustafar after he (presumably to her) killed younglins.
She loved him allright.
Everyone knows the real genius is Jar Jar being the true Sith Master controlling everything
Guys, don't do this. This isn't *your* theory. Everyone watching should look up What if Episode 1 Were Good. It is so much better than this crap, goes into more detail, and looks at each film of the prequels individually. It is sooooo much better
Boom! Bang! Magpie is a thief!
**clears throat** Maggie... Autocorrect
yup
yes
You did watch the beginning where she said "a popular fan theory floating around the internet, thank you Reddit and Donna Dickerson." Meaning nowhere in this did she actually take credit for this theory.
Holy smokes!!!!! You just made every pre Disney star wars movie soooo much better.
Padmé did not request “an old friend” it was the chancellor lmaoooo
This video is just stupid lmao
New Cracked series with likable new pretty lady Maggie? Pilot about my favorite movie series of all time? New interesting theory that would've made Star Wars much, much deeper and much more incredible?
I've fallen in love with Cracked all over again.
AGREED please do more with Maggie Mae Fish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE Cracked !!!
I DO IT FOR YOUUUUUU!
Marry me (:
Do one about Back to the Future and how Doc Brown was really an evil genius, manipulating the space time continuum and using Marty McFly as his guinea pig. (Why not he used his own dog as one).
Doc Brown is a dangerous sociopath (turns out Principal Strickland was right all along). Everything that happened to Marty was PLANNED by Doc because he was experimenting with the effects of changes to the past and paradoxes.
This is a GOOD ONE, I was going to do it myself but you're kind of cute, so I give it to you.
Cough, cough Fraternal Twins can have two father's.
I don't see any comments complaining about this video, but I'm going to be angry about them preemptively. I like you, new Cracked lady, and I like your eyebrows.
My eyebrows do all my talking for me.
It's a shame that all the funny responses to that are sexist.
+Jeff Little SJW warrior much?
Bumble Weaver I don't know what you are talking about. I made a comment that I found amusing and a little bit mysterious. It would seem that not everybody has the same sense of humor.
then caterpillars are thick as fuck!
Ms., you are a genius. Genius I tell you!
Wow, this makes the prequals MUCH better.
