- Happy Star Wars Day! I recorded this after I finished the prequels a while back and decided that today would be a great day to post in honor of May the fourth and the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series (which I'll be watching after The Mandolorian). Enjoy!
If you haven't seen the original video, please check it out: • Obi-Wan has PTSD
May the fourth be with you!

Shame about Quiggly's death. a real shame.
No worries, he went "Down Under" and had a great future in Western films!
Quigley... That's a name I've not heard since 1990.
@@defunctus408 🤣🤣🤣
That’s for sure and for certain
Quiggly lmao never heard Qui-Gon’s name butchered so hilariously.
Imagine being such a good actor that you can have PTSD for a character who's backstory wasn't revealed until about 25 years later
He doesn't have PTSD.
@@nickma71 okay maybe it’s not ptsd but then what would you can the flashbacks he has instead of ptsd?
@@nickma71 He does and Alec himself had PTSD from his service during WW2
@@rithvikmuthyalapati9754 He doesn't. Alec is an actor and played it perfectly that Luke's father is being hidden from him.
@@nickma71 Alec was a Veteran from WW2 and he acted as a Jedi Veteran who had bad memories from the Wars
He never owned r2. Anakin did. That's why he "doesn't remember owning a droid"
True. But also, since Lucas wrote fleshed-out versions of 4, 5 and 6 first, then tackled 1, 2 and 3, there could be some unavoidable small inconsistencies in the final products.
@@DougRayPhillips I looked at more like r2 was his friend and you can't own your friend lol
@@kingjellybean9795 Nah, in the clone wars shows that Obi never was that close to R2 like Ani was. When R2 got MIA, Obi said to Anakin just get a new astromech but Anakin wanted R2 back and track it back with the excuse of R2 have a lot of Republic Data on his hard drive.
@@DougRayPhillips Definitely, Star Wars is full of them. Lucas even had to tweak Ben's story of Vader when it's revealed that "from a certain point of view" Vader murdered his father within the same trilogy. Doesn't make them bad of course, it just happens with such big projects
What about R4?
2:56 “What was his name… Quigley!”
Thank you, Cassie. I wasn’t having the best day and that definitely put a smile on my face. 🤣
Speaking of Quigley, Quigley Down Under would be a good movie to react to.
I cackled so hard. She's a little confused, but she has the spirit.
Sorry you weren’t having a good day, especially on SW day!
It's gonna stick with me for the rest of my life. :)

And to think, Alec Guiness, who played 'Ben' in Episode IV: A New Hope was only in the film for half of it near enough, and yet made such a massive impact and acted way beyond his own film, locking in a pivotal and legendary character. The way Alec even acts and how the prequels are shown after him is just extraordinary.
you wanna know what Alec Guinness never said in Episode IV? It's "May the force be with you." The closest he got was "The force will be with you always," which he said twice
His performance was great. Interesting that he thought Star Wars was “fairytale rubbish” in real life.
@@peytone5387 Where did he say that? In a talk show interview of the time he called it a nice bit of escapism or something like that.
Ya, you don't realize how much he gave them to work with until you see this edit.
Definitely earned his 2.25% of the film profits. That would have been a nice little sum.
It just shows Sir Guinness’ incredible acting talent. When he played Obi Wan, he only had cliff notes about the character’s past and yet, you see him go through, nostalgia, regrets, grief, etc
Guinness was a veteran of the second world war. I think he probably had a good well of experience to draw on when it comes to a young kid asking him "what was the war like". Masterful.
It's amazing how often the writers, not just Lucas but all those who came after him, continued to go back to the bottomless well of Alec Guinness's performance when writing everything that came after this movie, but happened before it. He had only 17 minutes of screen time in the film, and in that time gave us the emotional foundation of everything that happened in the Prequel Trilogy, and a lot of what happened in the Clone Wars and Rebels series too (and certainly, the upcoming Obi-Wan miniseries too). All of those have been touched by the legacy of Guinness's performance, and all of them were shaped into something that could have been true, "from a certain point of view."
@@TheGoIsWin21 He served as a landing craft helmsman on an LCI, and landed troops in Africa, Sicily and Italy. The psychological toll of knowing you’re the one guiding men to their deaths then watching them die in front of you as they exit your craft was extremely hard on Alec, and while he rarely talked about it, what little he did showed he suffered PTSD and guilt constantly over it.
It definitely leant to great performances in war films, and we see it here too.
@@ColdWarShot that is a truly interesting aspect, I don't know how much he actually knew of his characters role in the Clone Wars. It just goes really to the heart of the Jedi performing their role as generals for the Clones that died by the multitudes! And they could not have picked a more perfect actor to hit that mark, if he actually knew what was the coming the Star Wars Galaxy, the things that we saw in the Clone Wars and attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Just so amazing
@@christophersims7060 That’s the beauty of a great actor. He probably had zero context beyond the pages of the script. Guinness himself considered Star Wars a fairytale nonsense, but out of that, he took what he had and extrapolated the deep layered performance he gave. Pure talent.
Anakin didn't turn quickly. It was a decade long process of several things coming together. This is my interpretation (sorry for the long read):
Usually, potential Jedi are taken in before they are able to form emotional bonds (with for example parents). Remember how Mace Windu said Anakin was "too old". This way, the Jedi taught early to be emotionless, level-headed, and utterly devoted to the Jedi's cause, without emotion clouding their judgment and leading to rash decisions. Yoda told Anakin to let go of everything he feared to lose, meaning no love and no attachment.
Now, Anakin was old enough to have bonded with his mother and form his own personality, which is a problem for the Jedi, if they want to (I'm just gonna say it) brainwash their students to their morals and beliefs, as it makes it harder if there is already something there. They only accepted him because of the misplaced belief in the "Chosen One".
Over time, Anakin's guilt and worry about having left his mother in slavery, coupled with his confusion with his own feelings vs the jedi-code, left him emotionally vulnerable and open to exploitation. Palpatine saw this and began forming a bond with Anakin, giving him lofty praise (Palpatine told him he'd be "more powerful than Master Yoda"), which made him think highly of himself and his potential, and impatient because he didn't advance as fast as he thinks he should ("they are holding me back", "he (Obi-Wan) is jealous"). This seeded doubts in his mind about the jedi. When he fell in love, which he wasn't allowed to, he didn't know how to deal with it, because he never learned how, the jedi surely didn't prepare him for it. So, in absence of any knowledge or advice, he became a bit obsessive and arguably a bit creepy and cringe.
His mother dies, and the only outlet he had was rage, because again, the jedi teachings didn't really help, except for saying that he shouldn't get attached to people in the first place. So when he gets the visions of Padme dying, he will not allow to let it happen again, so he desperately looks for a way to save her. The jedi are utterly unhelpful, because they don't seem to have any healthy, helpful solutions. Not loving, not having attachments, is no way to truly live. Palpatine, who has been subtly influencing him for over a decade at this stage, claims to have that solution. When Palpatine's life is threatened, Anakin kills Windu to save him ("I need him"). Having killed one of his own, he no longer has a place with the jedi, so he gives his service to the one who says he can help him save his wife. All this subtle influencing, plus his desperate, obsessive need to save Padme from suffering the same fate as his mother, he doesn't question his new masters orders. Once he committed the worst war crimes possible, he no longer is the same person he once was. When Padme shows up on Mustafar with Obi-Wan, he believes he was betrayed, that he couldn't even trust her ("You brought him here to kill me", to Obi-Wan "You turned her against me"). His short sighted, rage filled reaction, was to force-choke her. When he hears of Padme's death, the guilt is too much for him, and he becomes a broken shell of a man, doing whatever the Emperor asks, as he has nothing to live for anymore, so he doesn't care anymore.
Let's touch on Obi-Wan for a moment. I think he was utterly unprepared to take in a Padawan, let alone "The Chosen One". He became Anakin's master essentially right after Qui-Gon died, even though there was doubt in the council scene, whether he even was ready for the trials to become a Jedi-Knight. You can see the trouble he has with Anakin, he scolds him publicly, he engages in dick-measuring ("Your senses aren't as attuned as mine", or just jumping through the window at the droid-assassin, after seeing Anakin do something impressive, as if he was trying to one-up him). Anakin is disobedient and rash, going against the code, but also in many ways may have already overtaken Obi-Wan in ability. I feel like it was really a blessing for both of them, when Anakin became a knight, and no longer was his Padawan. You can see how much better they work together and respect each other in Episode 3, they must have really bonded in the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan also let himself get attached to Anakin ("I loved you"). I think this may be something he got from Qui-Gon, who did seem to be in a bit of conflict with the Jedi-Council, so he might have let some things like attachments happen, he might have disagreed with some Jedi-practices. This might have also led to Obi-Wan ignoring some red flags and warning signs, or misinterpret them, as you sometimes do with a loved one, because you cannot imagine them turning evil.
TLDR take my upvote
Holy shit that was such a perfect description

@@BattleGhul English is also my second language but you can express your thoughts into words a lot more effectively than I can
Fun fact. Obi-Wan never owned a droid. He used Republic issued R4 units for his ships and never traveled with a droid outside of flying. R2-D2 was Anakin's personal droid.
Happy Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you.
What's really funny is that R2 really isn't even Anakin's, it's Padme's. C-3PO is Anakin's droid. But Padme spends all her time with 3PO, because he's a protocol droid, which is useful for her. And Anakin gets R2 all the time, because an astromech droid is far more useful for a Jedi during wartime.
@@PaulGuy actually that’s not entirely true, Padme gave Anakin R2-D2 as their wedding present and in return Anakin gave Padme C-3PO. That’s why C-3PO’s armour gets an upgrade to gold, it’s just not in the films :)

@@michaelhawkins7389 why are you on this video then?

This really gave me chills watching it for the first time. Sir Alec Guinness served in WW2 and most men of his fathers generation would have seen service in world war1. Doubtless he would've seen that far away look on many people. His acting in this scene is fantastic. A legitimately great actor tapping into personal experience to inform his performance.
So glad you've seen this. Happy Star Wars Day.
True. Any soldier that comes back from a tour, faces things that are not to be spoken again...but they resurface at times, in his/her eyes. My father fought in Angola, 68-72, so...yep, sometimes, ghosts come back...
I never served but have the utmost respect for all who have. That moment where obi-wan changes the subject as if to shake off a bad memory I recognise my grandfather (served in WW2) doing that but was too young at the time to understand. Thank you for sharing about your father.
Yes, and to anyone who likes movies- find out why Sir Alec is "Sir Alec" (hint-it's not just because of Star Wars).
@@TheFioda are you from Portugal or South Africa?

“I don’t understand how he switched so fast, he had Padme”
That’s precisely WHY he turned.
Anakin was a character who’s flaw was literally caring too much. It was so fast because he felt so desperate. The minute he helped kill Windu he felt that his only option was to commit to save his wife or lose everything he cared about.
and the only advice he got was Yoda telling him to be happy his loved ones die smh.
Caring too much... about himself.
The most generous action in his life was destroying the Jedi, the Republic and Padmé's life... because he selfishly didn't want to lose her.
That's the peak of his generosity.
And he did it for himself, not for her.
His main flaw was that he was a red-flag-waving piece of shit from the beginning of episode two on. (I assume little Annie was too bad an actor for it).
i'm not sure if i would describe his decision to go to the dark side as 'fast' .. anakin always seemed, to me at least, to have one foot in the dark side all along.. yoda felt it coming, mace seemed to have known, ahsoka _definitely_ knew.. even though it appeared anakin was struggling with the choice, even about to turn in Palpatine in at one point, it was truly his destiny to be 'seduced by the dark side'.. as joker infamously said, "it's like gravity.. all you need is a little.. push.."
love that little edit.. makes it appear lucas had it all worked out from the very beginning..
That and ego. His biggest character flaw was his unchecked ego.
That was so well put together that you can understand the emotions he's going through. And when you look at how well Sir Alec Guinness put those emotions into that scene so long before the other movies existed, you understand why he's such a highly regarded actor.
whoever edited deserves a shout out!
Sir Alec Guinness was a war veteran... Im sure he knew a thing or two about PTSD....
That is also why Christopher Lee was such a great addition to the cast, he also served in WW2 and was an accomplished fencer before he was given the role
The PTSD would really get Obi-Wan down, but he has the high ground.
"Qwiggly!" LMAO
DOWN UNDER!

‘The Chosen One’ is probably the most popular Star Wars edit out there, and for good reason. If you feel like doing a reaction to that you definitely should :D
Yes, “The Chosen One” was done by Hero Fans Productions, he does a bunch of great edits like this, he also has one called “Kenobi”
4:20 Something I only noticed about this Jedi getting whacked after someone pointed it out is her first response when she senses the clones readying their weapons is to check the surrounding treeline, and she probably died thinking she'd let her squad down and led them into an ambush.
Probably not. She saw them point their weapons at her and the Force would have told her of their target.
@@william_santiago Nope, that was part of what was so insidious about Order 66: the clones harbored no ill will towards the Jedi, they were simply following an override command. The Jedi sensed no hostility as they were cut down. Its talked about in the lore now.
@@bobojo37 You mean it was made up after the fact?
@@commanderkruge It was made clear in Episode 4 that Force users require their feelings to sense around them. Since the clones weren't killing them out of hate, it would make sense that she couldn't sense their attack.
@@TheIllustriouBlueJay OKay, the force users require their feelings to sense something. That has got pretty much nothing to do with whether they can sense someone who's not hating them.
Since you said Han was you’re favorite character in the whole saga, there’s a video likes this called “Chewie we’re home.” It’s video of Han and Chewie from when they met in Solo to EP7. It’s very touching seeing their relationship and how much the people around Han made him switch personalities.
To understand how "he switched so fast" you need to understand the 4 years between Ep. II and Ep. III to understand how he switched "so fast." The Clone Wars TV series explains that, but I'd caution you against using it as a reaction, unless you were to summarize it by seasons. There are seven and there are a number of filler episodes.
The one from earlier 2000s too. She could watch all of that in one setting since it's quick 5 minute episodes.
Or she could do it by arcs.
Agreed. I said similar in my comments too!
Stick with the Clone Wars and react to the last 4 episodes of season 7. Some of the best Star Wars ever in those episodes!!
She could do it by arcs and only do reactions for the ones that carry significant weight to the overarching story. But however she would choose to do it, I would watch it, even with fillers.
I'm sure you've had a ton of people tell you this but I highly recommend watching the Clone Wars animated series. The amount of context and supplemental information you get is almost essential to fully understand and enjoy the prequels. And it brings to light how Anikan turned what seemed like instantly. It was really brewing for years. The episodes aren't all in chronological order though. A quick Google search tells the proper order.
I'd add the lore in BB and Rebels
I'll never forgive you for saying "Anikan"
This edit really shows the brilliance of the prequels. Although there's a lot of campy weirdness, there's also a brilliant grand story arc by George Lucas, which ties in very well with the originals. Of course, as everyone else has pointed out, Alec Guinness smashed it out of the park in his performance as well.
Oh and I forgot to mention...In Clone Wars you get to see Obi-Wan's love interest, Satine! And many think that Obi-Wan and Satine have a child named Korkie, that looks just like Obi-Wan. When you watch Mandalorian you'll meet Satine's sister, Bo-Katan.
Obi-Wan doesn't remember owning a droid because he never owned either of the driods, R2 came from Padme's ship and 3PO was made by Anakin, they belonged to them.
Little trivia you might have known they were actually each others wedding gifts, that's why after 2 r2 is anakins droid
That compilation was excellently put together! Thanks for posting this. I'd never seen it before.
by putting this together, you saw the true talent Alec Gunness acting ability. Actually it really started with the death of his mother, then when he betrayed Mace Windu by stopping him from killing the Emperor. instead of fighting him, he gave up, and was completely consumed by the dark side.
It's interesting to see how many people think Anakin Fell quickly when in reality his resilience was startling. He started off at a disadvantage with his tumultuous childhood and then he lost his mother and then he went through four years of hell where he lost so many of his troopers in a war that just got worse and worse and then he lost more people and the pressure it put on him was astounding. Add to that the fact that Palpatine was actively manipulating him both with words and the Force, I'm surprised he didn't Fall sooner. All he needed was to fear Padmé and his child dying, that was what tipped him over the edge. He couldn't lose anyone else.
Half the people who say that don't actually pay attention to what Anakin's going through.
I watch this video every now and then. It always gives me chills how great an actor Alec Guinness was. It brings me to tears even. The editing of this video is magnificent.
You definitely have to watch the Clone Wars tv show. It adds so much depth to all the Prequel characters and you can really see and understand the slow fall of Anakin and the Jedi Order.
The Clone Wars version was more interesting

Instead they were filled with emotion, nostalgia & teary eyes
the best flash back or PTSD of obi is Kenobi from HFP
Almost everyone in Star Wars seems to go though some truly awful stuff that would be hard to get over. If I were Obi-Wan I would've had PTSD from the time he spent with Jar Jar Binks.
At the end of Ep.3 3PO's memory was wiped, but R2's wasn't. R2 was present for all the major events from Ep.1 all through Ep.9 and his memory of those events is fully intact
Man alive. When I read the title I thought it was going to be a goof. Powerful stuff.
6:00 That is a contention point for the prequels, especially with how quickly Hayden had to put together that transition from Episode 2 to Episode 3.
However (I know I'm not alone in this), the Clone Wars TV series does an excellent job of bridging some (but not all) of that transition to Vader, especially the season 5 finale. (For those of you who have seen it, you know exactly what I'm talking about.) I'm sure you get requests all the time to watch it, but it really is worth reacting to.
Clone Wars is awesome and if you feel bad about all the shit Obi-Wan had to go through before, Clone Wars will only make it that much more clear how he is the best, but also in some ways most tragic jedi.
there were tiny pieces of his transition from ep.1 and 2. His anger, his attachment to his mother, his overconfidence in himself, his defiance, and his politics "put one person in charge. someone wise." Throw in Palpatine's dream manipulations, and his grooming. Then when he helps kill Windu, he has no choice anymore. Imagine being a soldier and killing your General, while protecting the enemy. Once he turned, the darkside consumed him like a drug to an addict.
Watching with you is like watching for the first time again. Your emotions are so raw and honest. Thank you.
As someone with ptsd, sometimes I get called out at work for having that look in the eyes,that thousand yard stare as I sit on my forklift.

If you’re reacting to this, you’ve got to react to Scene 38 Reimagined, if you haven’t already. It’s an independent remake of Ben and Vader’s duel on the Death Star. Very well done.
Agreed. It makes Obi-Wan look like the Jedi Master he truly deserves to look like.
It's not that great.

Obi Wan only used republic issued droids for missions. He didn’t actually own a droid. R2 was Anakin’s.
Also neither of them would say they owned R2. R2 was a friend, not a servant.
4:19 Shad Brooks and Brandon Sanderson have both mentioned that in one of their videos.
5:58 The Emperor altered Anakin`s mind with the Dark Side.
It’s amazing the depth that Alec Guinness put into the character that wasn’t even created yet.
Anakin loved Padme so much that he would do literally anything to learn the power to save her. At first he may not have agreed with Palpatine, but he did what he thought had to be done no matter the cost for his love. By the time Padme and Obi-Wan came to the lava planet of Mustafar, Anakin had been seduced by the power of the dark side, he couldn't think clearly and his emotions were overwhelming him. When he saw Obi-Wan appear while talking to Padme he assumed the worst and let his rage take over and did something that he would regret. He isn't blameless by any means, he became a horrible person who did horrific acts, but there's a human element to his story that just makes his turn all the more sad.
His story is so tragic.
Thanks Cassi that was a great video that i never would have seen had you not reacted to it! May the 4th be with you, always!
Quigley!!! 😂😂😂😂. Thanks for that one Cass 😂😂😂

Obi-Wan never owned a droid, r2 units are also so prevalent throughout the galaxy that he might not even had noticed that it was the same astromech he knew 19 years ago.
He knew it was Vader's droid, same as C-3PO or as he would say Anakin's droids.
He owned R4 at the battle of Coruscant
This was my first time watching this too. Thank you so much for watching with me. :-)))
This edit is a masterpiece.
You can watch this a thousand times and everytime, you'll have a sense of nostalgia that this actually happened long ago when you can watch these movies over and over.
"Why doesn't he remember owning a droid?" Because he never owned a droid lol
Luke: How did my father die
Kenobi: I chopped his arms and legs off and left him looking like a crispy Chicken McNugget
You should watch the Clone Wars series, it explained why Anakin turned so quick.
That’s the thing about “redemption”, Cassie. It doesn’t always necessarily entail “forgiveness”. Nothing Vader did could ever atone for the atrocities he’d committed or enabled-he knew that and so did Luke (and for those who have eyes to see…some viewers knew). It was Anakin Skywalker who returned in that climactic moment in the throne room to at the very least, be the good man his mother, Qui-Gon, Padme, and last of all, Luke still believed in. George Lucas wasn’t “forgiving” Vader his sins in those final moments in Episode VI…he was rewarding the unwavering faith of those few souls who saw and loved the good man crushed beneath a mountain of sins.
that was awesome whoever made this video is a genius and kudos to whoever suggested it I had tears watching this Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader will always be my favorite character also love the shirt May the Force be with you always and stay safe 💙

cant wait to see your reactions of the new Kenobi series coming
You should really watch the Clone Wars series if you want to see Anakin's descent to the dark side in more detail, as well as meeting Anakin's apprentice Ahsoka Tano before you see her in live action on The Mandalorian series (and her upcoming standalone Disney+ series)!
So good!!! Lol, you and Names! Haha “Quee”, “QWEEE”! Qui Gon Jin. And little Jedi are called “Younglings” 🥲. That’s such a good recap/edit… I’m glad you reacted to it!! 🤩
Oh I know what else I wanted to say! The Dark Side of the Force is something the Jedi always have to resist against and fight against sinking into. It’s like a disease or a virus! Once it gets into u it transforms you more and more and the longer u commit to it the harder it is to ever escape and the deeper, darker down into it you go! Anikan was already probably submitted to it in little bits here and there (shown somewhat in Clone Wars). So in Episode 3 it’s less like a quick flip of a switch and more like finally stopping putting up a resistance to a “calling” deep down inside. He, let go. And gave in. -which to be fair I didn’t understand until I finally watched the Clone Wars animated series. It’s explored much better and deeper there. Not just with Anikan but lots of other Jedi who also lost their way to the Dark Side previously. 😱
Just one scene, a few seconds. And you put the blanket on, already hooked, ready to go through the story again. that's the magic of star wars.
Everyone who suffers pain and trauma suffers also from the changed personality and heavy baggage. Some become hardened some soften. Those are the real stories we are watching in boba obi-wan MANDALORIAN and every part of these wars. It's no longer a good evil fight... it is us.
I believe Anakin's tipping point was when he found his mom before and then after she died. He had such rage against the ones that did it, he slaughtered them all with women and children. And the Chancellor fed off that hatred and easily won him over to the darkside.
The reason he was turned is shown in Attack Of The Clones. He was fearful. Then when his fear came true it turned to hatred. Instead of working on his fear he took revenge. Palpatine recognized this weakness and easily exploited it.
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." - Yoda _The Phantom Menace_
He foresaw the danger in training Anakin and still allowed Obi-Wan to continue.
Such prescience, and yet Yoda also told us: "Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future." - _Star Wars_ The balance Anakin would bring to the Force was not destined so clearly yet.
They kind of rush how Anakin fell to the dark side in the films but if you read the comic books novels or watched the cartoons it is explained that Anakin did not fall to the dark side overnight it was the constant fighting on the battlefield and Palpatine manipulating him that put Anakin on the path to the dark side
Great editing, truly top notch.
Wouldn't doubt it, the Clone Wars went on for over ten years on multiple planets. The Jedi way couldn't deliver the win and every loss gnawed away at both Ben and more so Anakin who hated to lose. The Clone Wars is canon and shows that Anakins fall wasn't quick.
People no doubt have mentioned it, but watching the animated clone wars helps ALOT with the speed issue of Anakin's turning. At first the idea of getting stuck on an animated series so long (and for me initially, the style) was a turn off, but if you're in that place, maybe check out some clips on youtube. You'll no doubt get bit by some spoilers, but you arguably know the ending anyways.
There's "Scene 38 reimagined" that you should see. It shows ALL the emotions between Vader and Obi-Wan, and vastly improves the visual effects of the fight between them in 1977's A New Hope.
Disney Plus now has a playlist that has all the Star Wars content in chronological order -- Episodes 1 &2, the Clone Wars series/movie, Episode 3, The Bad Batch, Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, Episodes 4-6, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Resistance, and Episodes 7-9. My guess is that they'll throw the Obi-Wan series inbetween Solo and Rebels, but the upcoming Andor series runs concurrently with Rebels so I don't know where they'll put that one.
Dear!!!, to understand a little more this great story, you have to see the animated movie Clone Wars and the Disney animated series Clone Wars, both are between episode 2 and 3. And if you are interested you can also see Rebels.
Please do this.
I suggest you watch and react to seven seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars just to get a better understanding of why Anakin turned between Episode 2 & 3! There’s a nearly 4 year difference that the conflict lasted and each episode and season of Clone Wars slowly builds up to Anakin’s fall to the dark side
Yes, I really want to see her reaction for those too!
Would be awesome, but it would simply take way too much of her time I think. There are other channels that does all of Clone Wars.
@@Dragonpuncher123 Probably, but if she did the reactions by story arc and not filler episodes. It would be more doable. And that, at least, can be done.
@@bertronhamill5720 Still more than a 100 hours of content she would need to watch and react to. It's not gonna happen.
There are so many great Star Wars fan made tribute videos you need to watch, Cassie! Kenobi, The Hero With No Fear, The Chosen One, Skywalker: A Darth Vader tribute, and many more are all good ones. They really go in depth and li k the two trilogies together and help you understand Star Wars on a deeper level.
Glad you watched this it's really powerful
Please reacted to "SC38 reimagined" next!!!!! You won't regret it!!!
There’s another good Star Wars edit called “The Chosen One” by far one of the greatest edits of Star Wars I’ve seen.
Kudos to Alec Guinness as an actor, not knowing the future films, but supposing the back-story was more intense and emoting during that scene, not wanting to be upfront to Luke because it was too much for him to handle.
Back when I was in law enforcement (and much younger) and when I went through the academy my nick name was Obi-Wan. I sometimes say "Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time."
Thanks cassie. These fan videos are wonderful
Cassie,
Darth said it himself: "You don't know the power of the Dark Side." and "... I *must* obey it."
Yoda also said: "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny; consume you, it will." ... and - boy howdy! - did it ever consume Anakin. It's a veritable miracle that Anakin was able to come back from it at all.
YES! After you watch the movies in release order it is very important, after a time, to go back and watch them in chronological order, including all the animated series that fill in the gaps between the movies (and the ones still coming out). It is a universe of it's own. Thanks for sharing and thank you for being SO open minded! Your reactions are perfect.
This was so cool to see. If you haven't seen it yet, you should also watch the fan-edit video "remaking" the duel on the first Death Star, between old Obi-Wan and Vader. They upgraded it with more modern camera work, and extended combat and dialogue.
After disappearing from the Death Star, Quigley found love in the arms of Crazy Cora, defeated Severus Snape, and then returned to America and became a private detective. :P
I enjoyed your reaction. Keep up with the fun and insights. :)
Firstly, I love your reactions and have watched a dozen of your videos in a few days. I think perhaps one of the best and most nostalgic part of the prequels was the animated Clone Wars from I believe 2002, which ran on Cartoon Network when I was 8-9 years old. Please, keep them in mind and definitely give them a watch some day, I'd love that and I wouldn't be alone.
the name "Old Ben" may come from "Obi"
R2D2 belonged to Padme, then Leia. Obi Wan never said he didn't recognize him, he said he didn't own him.
This is cool, because it puts Obi Wan's explanation to Luke in context.
He turned to the Darkside because of Padme and he did not choke her, he was blinded by love rationality was completely gone And through an act of desperation which he did not enjoy whatsoever. He murdered those young Jedi believing it was the only way he could save Padme. It was the only way Palpatine would teach him the way to save her
THIS!!! YES! one of my favorite videos!! it explains so much so easily
There is so many great edits like these. I do hope you watch 1 or 2 more of the good ones.
Baby Jedi are called 'Younglings' before they become Padawan learners. Also, Qui-Gon Jinn was Obi-Wan Kenobi's master.
"This is your father's lightsaber, he murdered 30 kids with it."
