"My name is Anakin" ... *crickets* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
yeah, he forgot it seems hah
😂😂😂
@@Gnossiene369Then why are you here? If you have a problem with the content, don’t watch it. And we don’t need your comments. Go find something useful with your day instead of spreading hate.
@@Gnossiene369 Bruh what other channels?
@@spindriftmoa1517 Well, at least two for sure... The A New Hope and Empire reactions are on one and for some confusing reason he switched to this channel for Return.
It’s crazy how clueless bruh is on who anakin really is 😂
Fr, like did dude pay any attention to the OT?
This dude will die knowing nothing 😂
I wish I was all over again for a day 🤣 relive the experience
Anakin's name is barely mentioned in the OT tbh. However I feel like he should've put two and two together when Obi-Wan starts training him
@@NoCluYT Yeah, man. You're not a goat. He is
Well spotted with the similarities between the Queen and her handmaiden.
Yea.. they almost look the same
@DevinGtv901 that is Keira Knightly who would later star in Pirates Of The Caribbean. I think at this point she was only known for Bend It Like Beckham.
@@Deathbird_Mitch And hence the eternal confusion between Keira and Natale Portman.
and yet no idea who annikin is
Actually even Keira and Natalie's parents don't know who's who in the movie when they're dressed as QUEEN.
Its taking ALLLL of my strength to bite my tongue. Cant wait till you get to episode 2 and 3!
😂😂😂 thank you for not spoiling
@@DevinGtv901 ep 3 is brilliant and absolutely tragic at the same time. ps the fight scenes arnt sped up, they really did get that fast!
I wonder when to watch rogue one.. 123R456 or 123456R
@@At0ThEb 456123R. My perspective is to always watch movies in release order. Because that's the way each movie was written for that present time.
The "rat tail" of Obi Wan shows that he is a padawan learner, an apprentice, not a Jedi Knight yet. The final fight, sounding "Duel of the fates", it´s one of the best in the franchise for me. Legendary.
What is funny about duel of the fates is that during that fight Darth Maul relied heavily on using form 6. Form 6 is called Niman. Some other names this form of lightsaber combat is known as are the moderation form or diplomat's form. Not exactly something you'd expect a Sith to use.
“Rat tail” Alex Hefner vibes 😂😂😂😂
That last fight with Darth Maul and Obi Wan in reality happened so fast that they actually slowed it down a little in post. Episodes 7-9 WISH they could pull off fights that good lmao.
there are no episodes 7-9
That fight lasted 40 seconds. Crazy.
Even that first fight has better choreography than 7-9
@@jacklopes4699oh crap you’re right, I’m going crazy
Two of my favorite Qui-Gon Jinn lines in this movie are:
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent" (So useable for so many people in real life)
"There's always a bigger fish."
If they ever made him a character in battlefront, these two would almost certainly have to be some of his trolling lines.
You’re missing out. Don't center on your anxieties. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs
@@georgem5512 Missing out, my bad foot. That's another of my favorites.
“There is a chance Anikan could go to the dark side”
You guys do realize it's Anakin right? Multiple comments refer to him as Anikan. It's Anakin.
The end of the fight between Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Darth Maul shows the difference between Sith and Jedi very well. When the laser partitions separated Qui Gon and Maul from each other, the Jedi began to meditate, calming down, and the Sith, on the contrary, walked in a rage like a tiger in a cage, filling himself with emotions. And when Obi Wan attacked Maul after the death of his master, you can see that he was filled with rage, which took him out of balance, since this is not the way of the Jedi and he does not know how to handle it, and Darth Maul, being a Sith who has been raised inside the order since childhood, who on the contrary feeds himself with emotions, easily he was defeated and thrown into the mine, and only when Obi Wan was able to calm down and return to balance, he was able to defeat Maul мне
Devin your attention to the details in this series is really above average. You don't even know who this Anakin Skywalker is, but you already know "its better to train him as a Jedi than to lose him to the Dark Side".
I'm so excited for you to watch the next two episodes so all of the pieces of this 1,000 piece puzzle can come together for you.
I appreciate that! To me it just made sense. Make him your friend before he becomes your enemy
@@DevinGtv901What could possibly go wrong!?
The OT reveals several times who Anakin is. So he obviously missed that "detail". Ironically, when reactors miss this it makes for a funnier reaction during Episode 3. Yes, there is a lot to digest from 6 movies on a blind viewing but come on, Anakin is the heart of the story. Even if Luke is the protagonist for half of it.
come on man, now you're just being mean
Jedi essentially function as monks. They can feel emotions like empathy, compassion, care in general for the good of all beings. They can’t have personal attachments, like familial or romantic love, envy or jealousy, pride, desire, anger, fear beyond immediate danger to life. If they feel those, if they have such attachments, it’s a gateway to giving in to the Dark Side, and the more selfish impulses, and therefore becoming corrupt and evil.
Correct.
Anakin isn't feeling anything any other 9, 19, or 22 year old can feel in these movies...But Force Sensitive people can kill people with their thoughts. They need to set themselves at a higher standard.
I would agree to having a higher standard, but there are exceptions, for example Master Plo Koon.
Very good description. Well done.
…all honesty, you can skip episodes 7, 8, and 9.
In all honesty you can't. Stop telling people what they should think about art
@@carlosandres7006 They're absolutely terrible and tanked the franchise. Vast majority realise it was a cash grabbing POS.
@@carlosandres7006 in all honesty, stfu! Disney ruined a great franchise by inserting a Mary Sue into the story line, and ruined everything Luke stood for. There’s no universe where Luke, the guy who saw the good in and rescued Vader, was going to kill a child because, “he might have some evil in him.” No! That is absurd!!
@@originalv5107 If there's a Mary Sue that'll be Luke for sure. Kissed his sister, Tried to kill his nephew. Fuck him.
The fact that no one cares about Star Wars now says it all
Jedis basically Zen Buddhist monk warriors in space
I''d say closer to Sikh Khalsa warriors since they have the lightsabres and all.
“Shut up snitch!”😭😭
*If You enjoyed my reaction please leave a Like. That really helps out the channel*
If you really enjoyed 4, 5, 6 ...you are sure to enjoy 1, 2, & 3 for the backstory to all the characters!!!! Hope the ultra politics in these don't turn you sour on the series. It's worth it for all the better effects and fight scenes!!!
I'm assuming somebody has told you that you shouldn't miss Rogue One...
@@justinrichards7822 don't worry, after he finishes Ep3 I'll be one of the ones reminding him. Rogue One is definitely one he can't miss. It might just be my favorite movie out of all 10, and it was just a "side piece"
@_FirstLast_ totally agree. When I saw 'that scene' in the theater, I almost lost my shit.
@@justinrichards7822 iv'e rewatched it over a dozen times, especially after season 2 finale of mandelorian when they mirror "that scene" with "that guy" :D
i grew up with these movies, lived and breathed star wars, know every line and always entertaining to see a first reaction
The Jedi find force sensitive children at a very young age before they can grow their attachments to their mothers. That’s why he said Anakin is too old. He already grew that attachment.
Apparently Ewan Mcgregor who plays Obiwan said that they were told to actually slow down the fights because they were too fast.
Devin remember in Return of the Jedi when Luke said to Vader “I know you were once Anikan Skywalker”?
He did ask us not to answer the question lol but I feel your frustration
insane to just comment this, are you 12?
It's Anakin.
@@dusky6280 insane to remind someone of something they’ve already seen but forgot? Also, how is it “insane” haha that’s a pretty intense description of a simple comment 🤣
Speaking of the age 12, I was 12 when Phantom Menace came out and I put the connection of Anakin and vader together… I guess I was just insane tho
@@brettbarlow9581 I think professor oak said it best. "Time and place for everything, but not now".
Do you have ANY concept of nuance or the idea of letting someone else experience smth for themselves? Alone? Without input? The guy even asked for ppl not to answer in the comments.
And you didnt even spell it right man
You MUST be the kind of person who points at the tv during movie night and explains background stuff to ppl they read off wiki. God go touch grass 🤡
Man it’s so cool to see people experiencing the movies for the first time
Always fun watching reactions to movies from my childhood! This film is a fun way to get reintroduced to this universe, during a period before the Galactic Empire! The Podrace and the Battle of Naboo are still amazing sequences to this day!
BROOOOOO been waitin a long time for this . thanks for goin in order Devin, as a SW fan, hope you enjoy
this made my day, also, love the face you ,made when they used force speed
That scene was badaxx
Natalie Portman played Queen Padme Amidala, and Keira Knightley played her decoy. Both were quite young here, but Natalie, at this time, was more well known as actress.
And they looked so similar in costume that their own mothers couldn't tell them apart. I have heard Knightley interviewed about it though. She doesn't remember a thing. Not even her character's name.
It's a pleasure seeing this through your eyes, man! Most didn't recognize the bad guy behind the scenes, but you did! Other things you picked up on were impressive, too. But that ONE BIG THING that you missed... I'm giddy with anticipation to see when you catch it! No spoilers! I'm enjoying this! Great job as always!
C3PO originally was only in the scene of the Skywalker home. Lucas decided to digitally ad him to all the other scenes he appears in, including going off the edge of the screen to include him (the race pod hanger).
It will be so much more intense!!
Looking forward to it!
Love your videos, man. Kudos. I've been a life-long fan of Star Wars because it's arguably the best multi-sage spanning story in all of sci-fi/fantasy.
Posting this to explain a big issue:
This “midiclorian” scale was added to this movie to add to the mystery. As qui Gon said theyre microscopic organisms responsible for life forms being able to interact with the force. The thought process being more MCs = more connectivity to the force.
Obi Wan said he had more than even Yoda AS A BOY! Qui Gon’s theory was that there was such a concentration of them that they produced life in Anakins mother like the Virgin Mary. This leads him to speculate that the boy may be a prophesied chosen one.
The council is concerned because they sense potential for good AND bad things from him. If he’s good… awesome. But he’s older than most beginners and he has attachments and fear… all signs pointing to the dark side. It’s not a guarantee but it’s a VERY common symptom of those that go bad. So you got this super powerful kid in the hands of a maverick (Qui Gon) *THEN* after he’s killed you pass him off to HIS padawan *JUST* promoted to Jedi himself, Obi Wan. The council is a little justified in worrying.
Devin you’re right about training him so he learns bad from good and doesn’t end up in bad hands but the Jedi are worried if they train him and show him their ways but he still goes bad that they would have practically handed a huge threat ALL their secrets
Exactly right.
It's funny considering that fear leads to the dark side, and it's the Council's fear of Anakin's potential that leads to them keeping certain things from him (especially during the Clone Wars, for example) and just treating him differently in general, which obviously is what makes him turn.
@@NovaBridger yeah most jedi's are hypocrites tbh and theres more than a few who noticed such as dooku and quigon
Absolutely fun watching you discover the magic of Star Wars ❤😊looking forward to g forward to the next.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
7:20 At their peak (here, right before the rise of the Empire), the Jedi numbered approximately 10,000 total throughout the Galaxy. The Galaxy is said to consist of around 3.2 Billion inhabited planets. So that means there was roughly one Jedi for every 320,000 planets. But then keep in mind that most Jedi traveled in Master-Padawan pairs, and a good number of them were mostly on Coruscant, and realistically, there were more like one Jedi for every 700,000 planets or so.
- Another note: In Legends (pre-Disney) continuity, it was explained that the Jedi Order had multiple "branches" beside the main one (which I'll call the "Knight Corps," where Jedi train in combat and carry a lightsaber). Basically, if a Jedi Youngling/Padawan was unable to make it to the rank of Jedi Knight after a certain age/number of attempts at the Jedi Trials, they would be re-assigned to the Jedi Order's Service Corps, where they would be placed into either the Agricultural Corps, Medical Corps, Educational Corps, or Exploration Corps. It is likely these other branches far outnumbered the main Knight Corps, though it was never really stated.
9:25 Yes. And in hindsight, I have no idea how *anyone* didn't notice. It's the same actor, too.
10:48 Nine, actually. Anakin was born 41 BBY (41 Years Before the Battle of Yavin, aka. Episode IV). This movie is set in 32 BBY, making Anakin nine. And the actor that played this young Anakin was 10-years-old at time of filming.
24:50 Jedi are basically space wizards that serve as guardians of peace in the Galaxy, often combating the evil Sith (evil space wizards). But in the later Republic era, the Jedi became too political and were essentially militarized.
1:18 in, He doesn't know it's a prequel....giggle🤭
Ohh I thought it was 7,8,9 were 🤦🏾😂
we don't talk about that XD
The prequels will always be my favorite. I got Phantom Menace on VHS and a double sided toy lightsaber for my bday that year. Maybe its nostalgia but it was a great time to be a kid 😂
Idk why, but this the screams from the droids make me cackle. I love this franchise 😂
Anakins existence is a mystery since no one fathered him yet he has the most potential and ability than all the jedi in their lifetime of jedi history . Because he is so strong but also already old enough to have attachments, its easier for him to be controlled by his emotions and break the jedi laws , thats why they claimed that he was to old , he already started to have attachments which is forbidden for the Jedi .
I hope Devin sees this^ this “midiclorian” scale was added to this movie to add to the mystery. As qui Gon said theyre responsible for life forms being able to interact with the force. The thought process being more MCs = more connectivity to the force.
Obi Wan said he had more than even Yoda AS A BOY! Qui Gon’s theory was that there was such a concentration of them that they produced life in Anakins mother like the Virgin Mary. This leads him to speculate that the boy may be a prophesied chosen one.

Yea that is definitely a huge gamble. Either way there is a choice to be made and he will either be a friend or a foe
Good choice. My wife and I just saw this one in theaters. The pod race is still second to none!
For the love of Han Solo, please don't skip Rogue One.
Absolutely will not 💪🏿
I will never get sick of seeing peoples reactions to star wars❤
This is my apprentice Darth Maul... "Goth more???" hahahahah im dead instant sub
Your face when Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon use force speed out of nowhere lmao 😂
Yes. Before the Wars. Clone.
But you should already know Anakin's relation to Luke having watched the Original Trilogy. Episode 1, 2 & 3 are prequels... meaning the events took place before 4, 5 & 6. In Episode 4 you already found out how Anakin & Luke were related... further expanded upon in Episodes 5 & 6. You even stated it in the intro for this reaction
czcams.com/video/2nO0uJenOgw/video.html
This film just gets better with age. I saw the first 6 films in cinemas again for may 4th and I enjoyed the ohantom menace the most by far. Very surprising
If you liked this one, wait until Episode 3. That ending is fire.
Darth Maul was played by Ray Park, a great martial artist. Here is a few seconds of a display he did at a comic convention:
czcams.com/video/3Hrni0z871A/video.htmlsi=RT9S2PniCGzWahZY
Already finished the trilogy on Patreon. Ep 3 is definitely badaxx
Awesome! DG finally does the prequels.
I'm in the pub right now having a couple of pints and about to watch this reaction.
Love from across the pond brother.
My brother🙌🏾. Thank so much for watching
@Devin Git is good to see you get back to a galaxy far far away
I’m glad you enjoyed it
We see the debut of the double sided lightsaber in the phantom menace such a great piece of cinema
I love the fact you didn't put 2 n 2 together about Anikin Skywalker 😂😂 great reaction D
Anakin. We already know how Anakin is related to Luke from watching Return of the Jedi. The answers have already been given, but seeing the journey is essential.
After reading your comment. I don't think I can continue watching this reaction, without getting triggered probably...
Devin, great reaction bro. Can’t wait until Ep 3. Dropping a comment and like for the new channel 👌
Greatly appreciate it
People can talk all the shit they want about the prequels but they will always have a special place in my heart and they absolutely have the best fights in the entire franchise.
I think they're overly criticized too. I liked this movie quite a lot. Didn't really enjoy E2, didn't even remember much of what happened in it when the E3 was coming out and had to rent the DVD before going to see the E3 in the theater. I also liked E3 but I think E1 was the best made movie out of the prequel series.
1. Of the prequels I like this one the best, mostly for the POD race and the underwater sequences,
2. Jar Jar is mostly comic relief since we don't have C3PO
3. Liam Neeson was very busy with various productions at the time and was in huge demand and agreed to do this episode because Qui-Gon Jinn dies, and he won't be held to do more.
4. Divine conception?
5. It's easy to know why this one didn't start the series because of the lack of CGI back in 1977.
Devin, I've been watching your reactions for years now. I truly hope you can continue uploading videos because you're one of my favorite content creators! Keep it up!
Great channel bro! You will go far! Welcome to youtube!
@DevinG "Your thoughts dwell on your mother... "
- My thoughts dwell on _your_ mother !
* Jedi council * - " _Ooooohhh_ , sick burnnn"
0:47 it’s actually quite simple if you think about it. The Darkside is like a drug, it makes you stronger faster and feels good but you begin to become addicted the more you use it. The Darkside is field by negative emotions like anger, fear, blood lust and selfishness and the more you call upon it, the easier and more tempting it is to use it.
I love seeing a new member of the Star Wars fandom being brought into the fold! This was a great review! Keep them coming!
I'm so glad CZcams got with the program for you. Love your shit.
A Jedi or SIth falls on the use of form 3 to block blaster bolts and return them to sender. Form 3 is the ultimate form for defense and during the clone wars Obi-Wan was not only a master of this form but he was regarded as THE master of it. In episode 1 Obi-Wan uses form 4 Ataru which is the form that deals with all the flipping around. Form 4 is the preferred form for master Yoda as well.
Who anakin is was literally said in the last movie he watched lmao this is great you've earned a sub
Okay, Devin... it's Prequel time. To start off, this takes place in 33 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin (read: Episode IV)). That's how Star Wars counts what year something happens. The Republic and the Jedi Order are both still the main authorities in existence throughout the galaxy, but not every planetary system is represented within the Republic. "The Outer Rim" territories are ruled more by criminal syndicates than the Galactic Senate. There are about 10,000 Jedi in the galaxy at this point, and at one time or another, they trained under Master Yoda (he enjoyed working with classes full of younglings (children)). At a certain point, younglings are tested, some will remain at the temple to be trained, others will be "assigned" to a Jedi Master as their Padawan learner. After a while, Padawans are tested again, to see if they have earned the rank of Jedi Knight. Finally, Jedi Knights are tested to achieve the rank of Jedi Master.
Now... with that bit of "baseline knowledge", let's get on with the video.
The two Jedi Knights sent to settle this trade dispute are Qui-Gon Jinn (the Master), and Obi-Wan Kenobi (the Padawan). Not sure if you caught that or not.
7:20 - The main Jedi Temple is on Coruscant (the seat of government for the galaxy at this time), and they are dispatched where they are needed around the galaxy from there. Occasionally, Jedi will spend long periods of time on certain planets, but Naboo is generally a very peaceful planet, so "on duty" Jedi aren't needed.
9:25 - Technically, that's a spoiler.... but yes. He is not Emperor, yet. You'll have to wait and see how he acquires that position. I'm only telling you, because it was common knowledge when these movies came out.
10:45 - 9 years. Anakin is 9 years old here.
15:35 - I saw every question that went through your mind cross your face in those few seconds. Those, I can't answer without spoilers. So, you'll just have to wait and see. But I will answer them once the full backstory has been revealed.
16:28 - Watto was so angry about the die coming up blue, because it was "loaded" to come up red. He knew that Qui-Gon used The Force to cheat, but couldn't say anything without revealing that he was using a loaded die.
26:05 - In the Republic, children are tested for their "Midichlorian Count". The higher the number, the more Force sensitive they are. Children above a certain level are often taken from their parents and brought to the Jedi Temple for training. Anakin wasn't born within the Republic, and was found at an age much older than those in the Republic. The reason for children being handed over to the Jedi Order at a very young age, is so that they don't form attachments yet. This is why the Jedi Council isn't entirely for Anakin being trained, he already has a very strong attachment to his mother. Most children brought into the Order are younger than 3 years old.
Those make so much sense. So with the children being taken so young don’t they still have attachments to there mother?
@@DevinGtv901 I can safely say "no". I was removed from my mother at a very young age, and never really had an attachment to her. The last time I saw her in person, I was 4 years old and had absolutely no clue who she was. Children that young can hold memories, and you'd think there is a natural attachment, but that can fade after a while, especially when you're in a high intensity learning environment. I was placed with my father's mother, and had a very enriching life going forward. My father had died of an overdose when I was a little over a year old, and my mother was also an addict. She gave me up without a fight (being honest about it), so she could go pursue her own life without being bogged down by a baby that she really didn't care for in the first place.
I won't go into it, here... but let's just say that she lacked nurturing instincts. She also gave up my two older siblings to parents to raise. They ended up having it way worse than I did. It's actually a wonder that my mother never did jail time for child neglect/abuse.
@@IggyStardust1967shit man I’m sorry for your hard ships. I was lucky in that I had two loving parents but I’ve always counted my lucky stars for that. Being a parent myself now, I can’t imagine willingly giving my child away. I’m sorry for the psychological trauma that may have caused. I hope you’re making your adoptive parents (or whatever you call them) proud. You seem like you have. You’re a good person.
@@Ramblinrabbit24 I appreciate your comment, and I'm glad that you had a good life so far. My story is very complicated, but I don't mind talking about it now. In fact, I often do talk to younger people at social events (I go to gaming festivals a few times a year) so that they can realize that not only is their life not as bad as they think it is, but that it CAN get much better. I'm 57 years old now, I've lived more than twice the lifespan my father did, and my mother died back in the 90s when she was right about 50 years old. I was raised by my grandmother, who took me in (practically demanded custody of me) when she was in her late 40s. She hid many truths from me until I was a young adult, but she did it to protect me. My childhood was both wonderful and a nightmare at the same time. Not having parents, I got bullied a lot. However, I also had all the coolest toys of the era. I was 11 years old when I learned I had an older brother (on my father's side). He was "the good looking one" between us (not that I'm a hideous chud, or anything) so he was "the cool kid" in his area. Ironically enough, he was born 5 years and 1 week before I was. Our birthdays on the calendar are exactly 1 week apart. He was also in and out of trouble throughout his teen years. When I was 18, I got a phone call out of nowhere from someone claiming to be my sister. Imagine my shock when I learned it was true, and that I had an older sister and another brother on my mother's side. My grandmother flipped, because she thought my sister might take after our mother. Fortunately, she didn't.
Oh, and here's a hilariously fun fact: My brother on my father's side, has the same first and last name as I do. We have different middle names, and he goes by his, whereas I go by John. Our father's first name was John, as was our grandfather's. This gets funny (after a few sentences), because my brother was arrested on his 26th birthday for murdering his girlfriend. He had been married to a really hot woman, but "being that wild child", he ended up running around on her, and getting addicted to cocaine. He was convicted (he claimed he was innocent, and no murder weapon was ever found) and because his public defender had turned down a plea deal, was sentenced to Life in Prison. Here's where it gets funny: I would go to visit him in prison. In there, they don't use his middle name, even though it's what he answers to. So, "John Linde" was coming to visit...... "John Linde". The guards would always do a double take, triple take, flip through the paperwork, check our ages, "Nope, can't be father and son..... they're only 5 years apart.... WTF?!" So, that was always amusing. Plus, I don't have a criminal record. Never been arrested in my life. My worst run ins with the law involve speeding tickets and being a witness to a crime.
My sister and I have gotten very close. My grandmother did change her tune on my sister pretty quick, realizing that her assumptions were dead wrong. She died back in 2014 at the age of 93. We went full circle. She took care of me when I was most vulnerable, I returned the favor when she got old and was vulnerable. I cared for her right up until the day she died.
Another thing about "growing up 'me'", is that, while I did have some friends, I was pretty much a social outcast. In my 20s, I did run with a "weird crowd", other outcasts, and while we did get into some shit, we were always gone before the police showed up and cameras weren't everywhere. Plus, the worst stuff we got into were fights that we didn't start. We just finished them, but no one was seriously injured in them.
We would end up drifting apart, as happens. But Facebook reunited some of us.
In my early 30s, I met the woman that would alter the path of my life. Her name was Rose, she was gorgeous, a little older than me, and separated from her husband. She took a liking to me, and made it a point to come into my work, planning on asking me out. Oddly enough, I beat her to the punch. I went over to assist her, as she looked like she was trying to decide on which alcohol to buy. She told me that she had tickets for her and her daughter to go to Germany, and wanted to celebrate. My family originally came from Germany, and I had great uncles that fought in WWII in Germany. So, I had a fascination with the place. Long story short, I asked if she wanted company and she said, "yes". We fell for each other pretty quickly. We would live together (with my grandmother), we would work together, we did everything together. In 2003, she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. She had surgery, did chemo, and I stayed with her, even though she had offered me "an out". I had told her, "I couldn't claim to love you as much as I do, but walk away when you need me the most." She went into remission, but within a year it came back. She started treatments again, and in 2005, made plans to go to Germany "one last time". This time, she took me with her. We spend 3 amazing weeks there. She got to show me where she was a child, we went to Oktoberfest repeatedly, and gave me memories I will never forget. In June of 2006, right after my first book was published, she was deemed "Terminally Ill", and placed on home hospice. We made arrangements to get married, but being on a short time limit, I had to work fast. Her previous husband was agreeable to just sign the paperwork and show up for the court date. They literally had nothing to split, so it was easy to take care of. I found a lawyer who was willing to hurry things along, and it was done. We were legally and officially married 2 days later. She would last another 11 days before taking her final breath, with me holding her hand.
Before she had died, she had promised to send me someone, when the time was right, so that I wouldn't be lonely for the rest of my life. A little over 3 years later, I would reconnect with an old acquaintance from school. Turns out, she was the one Rose had sent for me. Katina and I would start a relationship, and we were married in September of 2011. We've been together ever since.
It hasn't been easy, as my physical condition deteriorated to the point where I am disabled, but Katina has stuck with me, and even supported me while going through the process for Disability. We've been married for almost 13 years, and have never had a "fight". Disagreements, yes... but never a "screaming match", and certainly nothing physical.
These are all things (and more) that I tell younger people. My wife married an over-age child, but she still loves me, either because of it, or in spite of it. It doesn't matter which. But I'm in a good place in my life, despite the struggles we have. I also managed to turn her disrespectful teenage son (when we got together) into a respectful man who has learned to appreciate those in his life. I tried to be the father figure to him that I never had. He has told me that he appreciates what I've done for him. I am very proud of the man he has become, and I'm also glad that I had a hand in making him that way.
Sorry for the long post, but once I get on a roll, I tend to write a lot. Have a great day!
Even I didn’t know Watto used a loaded die. I guess it wasn’t mentioned because it has no bearing on the story, but that’s a cool detail.
💯 🔥 reaction... keep em coming!
Now that you've seen ep 3...
Devin: "Anakin Skywalker... I wonder if he's related to Luke."
Hear that? It's a thousand of your watchers faceplaming at once.
A Jedi shall not know Anger.
Nor Hatred.
Nor Love.
Im glad you don't realize who Anakin is, Hopefully everything that happens in Episode II and III is a genuine surprise i just hope no one spoils it for you in the comments
Yes episode 1 is before the fall of the jedi order. The event you are talking about is order 66 which happens in episode 3.
Gave you a like before the video even started. Wonderful reaction! You've got a great eye for detail.
Except for the major name of Anakin Skywalker.
Theres levels to being a jedi
Younglin/force learner
Padawan learner (apprentice)
Jedi knight (able to have a apprentice)
Jedi master
Counselor (12 most powerful jedi make voted decesions)
Grand master
"Anakin Skywalker... So is he related to Luke Skywalker?" Yeah, you could say that
Just go back and rewatch every star wars youve seen up to this point including this one
We got a new one people, that next movie is gonna be quite a show for you.
Your face was everything when Anakin was being tested and they brought up the love for his Mom. That itself was the downfall of the Jedi
Dude that was awesome. I can’t wait to see more - Jake
While most Jedi function as peace keepers, some conduct undercover operations. During the Clone Wars, they served as Generals to the Clone troopers who fought in the war. If you look closely at the people sitting down when Anakin saves Jar Jar from Sebulba, there is a dark-skinned man with a gold stripe across his cheeks and nose and dreadlocks. He is an undercover Jedi named Quinlan Voss.
Oh i'm on this ride 🤣🤣
This is the correct energy for the the prequals.
Also Jedi are like monks, they are discovered by force sensing tech and brought to be trained before they know any other life, before the age of memory. It is an order meant to control as much as it is to teach, because selfishness with force sensitivity leads to the dark side. They are shaolin monks / knights templar / secret agents / green berets / space wizards.
As far as being a child, the Jedi order scoured the universe and would take children at an early age. Most would never even meet their parents, preventing attachment. After the movies, Luke reinstates the Jedi order and allows them to have certain attachments. He saw the previous order's flaws and didn't want them in his order
Great reaction and that end lightsaber battle is awesome.
Qui-Gon Jinn is a cool character
Technically a lightsaber is a plasma energy melee weapon, not a laser sword as people call it. Think of it as a plasma cutting torch with a focusing chrystal to form a coherent blade. Not quite possible in real life, but people have made plasma sabers, they're just not solid like a blade.
@36:13 If you watched Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, then you should already know how Anakin and Luke are related.
Dis ma favorite Star Wars movie by far ..... pod racing , dual sword , darth Maul , Qei Gon , Anakin , Jar jar.
Two things, one hats off to the beard, two, what video do I gotta watch to see your reaction to how Anakin is related to Luke.
The next 2 movies are amazing in my opinion!! ❤ can’t wait for your reactions
Excited to for you to see my reactions
That little blonde haired kid is the future Darth Vader.
The Lightsabers of Jedi and Sith are actually made out of Plasma and can cut through nearly every material
btw the pod race,my dad had told me that it reminded him a lot of 1959s ben hur chariot race. it really does too. LUcas must have loved that movie and paid homage
Lucas has said that scene is what inspired the pod race..
He didn't bet Anakin's "ship." Anakin doesn't have a ship. He bet the ship that they arrived on the planet with. Anakin has a pod racer. He didn't bet that.
Watched 4,5,6.. Anakin Skywalker as a child introduced… crickets… 💀🤣
The fact that some people get emotional when Anakin introduces himself, and others remain clueless, kinda says it all. Some people just pay more attention than others.
not a laser, more of a coil of plasma held together by magnetic fields, a "plasma sword" if you will
Really appreciate you having a little video in the corner that suggestes like and subscribe rather than stop the video to say some shit haha thank you.
I'm not telling.
When I was a kid, there were only 3.
So, yes, I know. 😊
Only 3 what my friend? Star Wars Episodes?
@@DevinGtv901 yeah.
Jeez, bro.
You must be young.
😂😜
didn't you already react to the prequels on your old channel? I remember watching them...
I feel like your question at the end didn’t get any thought because the answer is explained in Return of the Jedi, which you’ve already watched. Love all the hype but don’t forget to think 🤔
Remember there is no luck, only the force
Episode one is and always will be awesome!
To be a Jedi, you must be unconditionally selfless. If you are selfish, The Dark Side can weasle its way into your actions. Very much like how The One Ring turned Boramir against Frodo temporarily. To be a Jedi, you must let go of everything you've become attached to. Especially, but not limited to, family.
"Oh, this is before Darth Vader!"
What planet has this guy been living on? No discernable alien accent, seems to be a native English speaker, maybe he's been frozen in carbonite.
Can't wait to see ur reaction when u find out 😉
... I hope we'll see that on screen 😁
You never knew it was a prequel, bro it’s literally called episode 1 🤣
Was definitely fun to watch your first contact with the prequels! If you alrd feel the urge to go deeper into the lore and the series, I'd recommend watching "The Clone Wars" animated show just after finishng the second Star Wars film! May seem like it's for kids but damn it hits hard🔥. Btw if you wanna watch the films in the correct order that goes lore wise, you need to watch them straight up from the 1st film to 9th, but if you wanna watch them in the order from the oldest movie to the newest, it goes like 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9. Pro tip, get your popcorn ready for the 3rd episode. Peace out!
Watch the scene again when the Imperials bring Luke to Vader on Endor in episode 6. Listen to what Luke says.
