Midi-Chlorian doesn't demystify the force, nor does it improve i The force and the Midi-Chlorians are 2 different things, the midi-Chlorians just allow people to use the force and communicate with it, the link between the spiritual and phyiscal world.
jar jar binks: I never in any way found him racists, or offensive in anyway
Anakins virgin birth: its a interesting biblical illusion in my opinion. It like how god conceived jesus.
I'm pretty sure if you had gone back to sign the contract, it would be considered completely valid and you would lose that debate, unless you could find a loophole, which could be difficult. Even if you're threatened, once you sign the treaty, I think that means the bad guys win no matter what you do.
in pt2 when anikins mom couldnt leave... why wouldnt they just sneak her out, and if the answere is becouse the jedis i to loyal or gardiens of the ... whatever then why would they let tetui have no republic? and peaple are inslaved? WTF????
@zzyzx0788 so our other main characters spent months in a ship without at any point stopping I mean you have a wookie on that ship that dudes gotta eat.
"What do the Jedi start training when they're fetuses" As a matter of fact, force-sensitive children in the Republic are taken by the Jedi order within the first month of their birth.
@PinheiroIllness85 Dude he was always retarded. The originals were only successful because he didn't surround himself with yes-men like he did with the prequels...
Why does everyone complain about not explaining what a Sith is? Did the originals ever really explain what the whole title of Darth was about other than is sounded cool?
@slomo93 Well I know this is just six months later but you never hear Palpatine be called Darth Sideious in the originals. He was just the Emperor. The name Darth Vader just sounded like a cool threatening name that Vader probably thought up in order to put the past of Anakin Skywalker behind him.
They should've said that the Sith were an organization that drew from the Dark Side of the force and were essentially the opposite of the Jedi. That would've been explained so easily in one line.
@lobothesacred3 you make a good point another star wars plot hole that always bugged me was how in the fifth 1 Luke either learns how to be a Jedi in like 6 hours or Han and the rest of the cast were on that ship for like 3 months. Also yoda says u hav much to learn then Luke comes back in 6 and yoda then says your training is over I'm like what. Also in this first 1 how is the senate ok with a trade federation that isn't even a planet hav a huge army of attack robots.
@Bwkjam - Who knows. That's like asking why the trade federation invaded Naboo over tax disputes. The best I can come up with is that the Republic is basically like the United Nations, but if that is the case then why does Darth Sidious want to take over it?
@Bwkjam I believe it was a few months between 5 and 6. I mean theyre not gonna hatch up that rescue plan in like a few hours, they probably had to regroup. Luke most likely finished his training in that time. Or if memory serves me correct the dual with Vader contributed to his training progress
Why didn't the Trade Federation destroy the Naboo fighters? If those weren't there Queen Amidala's plan would completely fall apart. Her entire plan revolved around the Trade Federation being dumb enough not to destroy resources under their control that was of no apparent value to them. And, if they were planning on parting them out or something, park the naboo fighters on their own ships.
"Ooba Dooba"...lmao! love that. also when he calls Dooku Count Dracula. oh but leave Generations alone that's the one StarTrek movie I rlly like. "What kind of Jedi are they?!" (good point)
When i watched this piece of crap back in 1999, i thought that i was just to dumb to understand the story. Now i know that im not the only one who feels like that. The kid was actually the most obsolete character in this film as nobody i know was ever even CLOSE to buying that this brat could build things like the pod or a droid!!! The just threw this random shit at the audience, hoping the brandname "star wars" would ultimately sell it to them anyways!! It all felt like a merchandising campaign
ok dude imagine you found out your father was destined to be the chosen one and then betrayed all those who cared about him. would you want to hear that and realize you might follow his steps? also, as i mentioned, chancellor valorum is weak and indecisive, the entire senate realized this and agreed with her to get valorum out of office. signing the treaty would still keep her in captivity. actually jedi start training from birth, abducted as babies from families
The point about the midochlorians (or however they're spelled) is spot on. They are so contradictory to the core philosophies of the original trilogy, all those ideas that gave those movies depth, that I've come to the conclusion that all that depth we so appreciated in the originals was conceived by someone else. Judging from the prequels, Lucas didn't even understand those concepts. In that way, the average movie goer had a leg up on him.
Didn't Vader destroying the Sith upset the balance of the force? If there were only two Jedi (Yoda & Obi-wan) and two Sith (Vader & the Emperor) wasn't it then balanced? With Vader & the Emperor dead, now there are only Jedi, and that isn't balaced.
@23Stork But after Vader & the Emperor are dead, then there's only the influence of the Jedi. So now it's one-sided, or am I miss interpreting what the "balance" is refering to? If it's not between the Sith and Jedi, then it's between the infuence of good vs. evil? So even though the Sith are dead, there will still be evil in some form or another, but the Jedi/Rebellion are there to balance it out as forces of good?
@arm8200 The movies don't make it clear at all. But apparently Lucas was trying to convey that the universe is naturally good... which meant that the existence of the Sith, who use the force for evil, is unnatural and creates an imbalance.
So when Vader and the Emperor die the balance to the force is restored, as there is no one left who is using the dark side for evil.
... unless you count the Expanded Universe, of course :P
I think the prophecy was kinda lame, but there u go lol
@sonicboom2007 That's probably as clear as the prophecy is going to get interpreted. I think Confused Matthew summed it up best when he said Lucas pulled the prophecy out of his ass with no pay off, lol.
Unfortunatly, I feel like Lucas did that with almost everything in the prequels. *Sigh*...I'm going to watch the original trilogy...
@arm8200 I agree entirely. George Lucas used that as an explanation after the movies were made. But as sfdebris loves to point out, you don't get bonus points for things/ideas that weren't in the movie because... they weren't in the movie lol
@arm8200 with that in mind, technically anakin did bring balance to the force. cos he unbalanced it by killing dooku, so he killed all but two jedi and became a sith to make it balanced again. see anakin's not a dumb as we thought he was; hes still a murdering phycopath though
It was so funny when the council said "Anakin was too old to begin training" when he is like 8. When Yoda said this about Luke in Empire it made sense since Luke was supposed to be in like his mid 20's and had no real training other than a little here and there from Obi Wan in a new Hope.. But Anakin is 8 years old.. LMFAO. You old boy get outta here..
The only thing striking about this movie is its incoherence.
There's a scene when Padme's decoy has Padme go clean up R2-D2. I remember first watching that thinking, "WTF did they switch roles? She takes orders from here decoy?"
@crazyaces66660 I have seen both CM`s and Redlettermedia`s reviews, and thin most of their criticisms are downright, wel restraining, 1 dimensional, unsophisticated and just sibjective, in a this is not your film sense!!!!!!
The worst part of the entire prophecy is its name, "restore balance to the force..." Well if the dark side is the ying to the light side's yang, and right now the Jedi have all the power, then wouldn't balance mean that there would be equal power between light and dark, like the Sith wielding equal power to the Jedi? I would assume "balance" to mean something different to me, if they had bothered to define it.
wow. what happed to the living force. when i watch starwars i am up for fantasy, not reality. in startrek there is importance how ships move, they explane warp drive and such. in starwars the ship engines have only one meaning, to get people around. i am not religius but i like my star wars mystical instead of sciensy. this is why knights of old republic kicks ass, bechose we go back to the eastern philosophy that made orginal trilogy awsome.
Look, the medichlorions are apparently Star Wars lingo for what we call Mitochondria, which really are symbiotic life forms that live in our cells.
You can actually increase your amount of mitochondria through physical training, because they are responsible for oxygen metabolism.
Furthermore, you can think of the force as being kind of like invisible magnetic field lines, and the metichlorions are like iron filings that line up and let you visualize the invisible field.
@Starbat88 Actually, it does negate the spirituality. It is saying ultimately that the Force IS the midichlorians and in order to use the powers of the Force one must have midichlorians on their body.
@Starbat88 Okay, you may be right. To be honest, I haven't given it too much thought in a while. I absolutely loathe the prequel trilogy and I'm trying to forget them.
I hate the fact that lucas introduced the midi clorians. It was stupid. I never thought about all the melodrama and plot conveniences until u pointed it out nice work.
I think I know what inspired George Lucas to make the Star Wars prequels convoluted as Hell: Mobile Suit Gundam!
After all, nobody is going for Star Wars anymore, now that they have something as gratuitously confusing and vague as Mobile Suit Gundam! Right, guys?
I still find it hard to understand how George Lucas totally destroyed the idea of the force. If he had kept his mouth shut and left the mystery, that would have gone 100% further than the meticlorins crap. I can`t understand how over 15+ years he failed to realise that the force was so popular because of its `spiritual` or non physical mystery. I`ll bet it was never mentioned again because he realised what a crap thing he had done afterwards.
They dropped the ball about the Force. I thought when they practiced the Force they get more powerful and all that. But just if your born with a lot of Mediclorians you're a Jedi/Sith.
I've noticed a trend in prequels: introducing a prophecy that applies to the protagonist that somehow influences them towards their apparent destiny. Cases in point: Anakin the Chosen One, Clark Kent the Traveller on Smallville, and Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Wario, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong being the Star Children in Yoshi's Island DS. My only guess is that they reason that we the audience know what's in store, so the characters should too.
I have a theory that Lucas was abducted by aliens around 1996 just when he was developing the idea for the prequels and those motherfucking aliens cloned lucas and sent his clone to earth to make the movies. The Talented lucas is currently being analy probed by fucking aliens and the Lucas clone that lacks any creative talent is now in charge of Lucas Arts...those fucking aliens
@robbierules81 look up redlettermedia and his review of this film. its genius.
also look at it logically: in the first films lucas didnt have e creative control over everything that he does now. those original films were not entirely lucas's own work. in fact the best aspects of them were probably nothing to do with him. these new films are evidence of what happens when everything in the film is george's own creation
@GoodDoseOfRock Lucas was just as responsible for Episode IV, as for I and III. He was just a involved with IV as with I annd III, serving as story writer, screenwriter, director, and excecutive producer1!!!!!!!! Also altough people cloaim he was chalenged he ids very controlobsessd and since he was there bods he would shut them up. He had exactly the saME control he was the boss, and he was responsible for, plots, caracters, concwepts, ideas, actors, directions, effects etc
@reviewreviewer1 if that is true, how come the prequels suck so badly and the original trilogy just doesnt.
i know he made the prequels just to make a shitload of money and not tell a story, but still, the coproducer and second screenwriter must have had some control over the original movies to prevent them from falling apart into incoherent special effect shows.
@sietsejohannes Well let`s say I agree that the prequels are awfull: the logic hat because Lucas made something bad, he can`t be responsible, for the good stuff he made and people saved him, gioes against the fact he is a human. Everybody makes mistakes, and most peopke do good, stuff. The fact he made bad stuff aswell doesn`t mwean he is talentless. He is simpily flawed . All humans make mistakes so does that mean aliens are reaponsible for all we achieved?????/
@sietsejohannes Also Lucas didn`t make the prequels for moey, if that was what he cared for he wold have: 1. not donated hundreds of milions, and noe hal his fortune too charities, 2. wouldn`t include politics in his gilms, nor majke them so serious and nonactionpacked, 3. made sequels and milk the original cast, 4. have accepted Leonarde decaprio as Anakin, 5. Not tg make the third films soo dark, 6. never have made a sci fi franchise i the first place etc.................
@reviewreviewer1 1 so lucas gives to charity, thats nice of him really, but he's a fucking billionair! he can afford to give to charity. just because he does that, doesnt mean he didnt want to make it in the first place. btw lucas giving to charity is 1. not his own idea but bill gates's 2. hes only gonna give it after he dies.
2 the politic parts are boring yes, but if you'd cut them away the plot would be even more fucked up and that would sell less also they arent such big parts of the movie
@sietsejohannes Uh yeah he can afford too give it asway, and for that reason he is also bnott money hungry, otherwise he wouldmn`t give it away. Alsio uh not the stuff he dsonated too filmschools, which was a few hundred milion, he still took part n gate plan. 2. uh yeah my point is that he would nopt have made a political plot in the fiorst place, and it was a big psart, you haf multuiple scenes between Amidala, Valorum, and also in II and talk about it between Anakn and Padme!!!!
@reviewreviewer1 3 sequels prequels, whats the difference, the original cast was all milked out. 4 if youve seen mrPlinkett youd know that he did cast people just because they were famous. samuel L jackson anyone? 5 he was getting low ratings with kid films so he was moving on to an adult one. such a drastic image change halfway trough a trilogy does show exactly that he wasnt telling any story whatsoever, just caring about sales.
btw i count 6 lightsaber fights 3 mass battles, not action 2u?
@sietsejohannes The diffeerenxe is hat fans love certain cast and caracters, and keeping the samr cash insures more cash!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah maybe he casted Jacksiion BECAUSE HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN TYPECASTING, and when a actor is talentef just hire him, that isstill no reason to not take caoprio after titanic. Uh yeah negTIVE REVUEWS, BUT BIG MERCHADISE SALES, ANDD oh uh those capitals were accidental, and 900 milion for I!!!
@reviewreviewer1 youre 6th reason deserves a comment on its own because its your single most stupid one.
"never made a scifi franchise in the first place"? what do you even mean by that? that you cant make any money with a scifi movie, or much less than any other genre? is that what your saying? or are you implying that all people who make scifi movies are so noble that they would never make a movie for the money? THATS BULLSHIT! a starwars film would be an instant hit in 1997 and lucas knew it
@sietsejohannes Also there was no second screenwriter for Episode IV, and the producer had no control,cause Lucas had compleete creative control, and was never very colleberative. IV was realy his soulwork and V and VI were still almopst etirely his!!!!!!!!!
@reviewreviewer1 if you want to know whats bad about the prequels go watch confusedmatthews review sabout them which i assumed u were already doing and read redlettermedia reviews too while youre on it, funny as hell
ok maybe george had complete control on his original films as well, i didnt really dig into it which makes me wonder even more how come he messed up the prequels so badly
and yes, george did make the prequels for the money
all the reasons you named for that being false r shit
@sietsejohannes I saw all 3 reviews of both guys. Yeah Lucas had just as much control, I saw the dvdccommentaries, thise give some sense of that, plys I just researched the making of the films. Why are my reasons, bad, why would if he onkly made the films for money, why wouldn`t he have made them, much more action and sex packed, and why wouldn`t he have made sequels wirh the originalcast, and why didn`t he get others too direct and write, if he only wanted money/?????????
i can tell you exactly why those reasons are shit, if you want me to. but im not gonna bother right now because i think you already know
of course they were also about telling some vague story about how darth vader became darth vader, but georges main aim was to make himself even more dollars than he already had. and we dont blame him for that, we only blame him for giving us commercial crap in return.
btw, pls check ur comments for obvious typos b4 posting , lolwhat gilms?
@sietsejohannes I don`t know what is bad about my reasons, and I did not even start eith tthe discription yet, and you said we could discuss it, so can we?????????????
@robbierules81 Yes. That has to be it. There was no way in hell that the same George Lucas who created the awesome original trilogy could come up with the horror of these prequels.
@robbierules81 That would explain why, that instead of anything new or productive his future plans are just to have the six Star Wars movies re-done in 3D and come out one per year for six years by whitch point 3D TV will be common enough in homes to have a disk set of the 3D remakes. All the while charging us more money for 3D movies in theathers
@robbierules81 To be honest, that actually sounds like a reasonable theory. If the old Lucas saw himself today back then, he would have killed himself.
the force is made of bacteria................i truly just cant understand how a man can make a masterpiece trilogy and then 16 years later the same man can follow it up with a complete bullshit violation trilogy :/
@jhibbitt1 That man had more control over the prequels and everyone below him just obeyed him, in the originals he had input but it somone was able to keep Lucas's hands off the script.
"Can the republic possibly be setup any more stupid?"
I think that 'witty' line sums up your review nicely. When you're not stealing names your 4 yr old neighbor come up with (Uba Duba and Darth Timefiller?), You make one good point and then smother it in 10 boring ones.
I'm not sure how I passionately hate the prequels AND this review, but I do.
Mr. Plinkett is gonna drive to your house and make you put a puzzle together in fiffffffffffty niiiiiiiiiiiiine miiiiiinutes!!
@DaWittleDude Consider te fact that Plinketts reviews are done by a team and Matts are solo, ofcourse that dosen't change the quality between the two. Out of both reviews Plinkett had some good points and useless ones too, the fish out of water one being pointless.
@Ryoku75 In terms of video quality, I would agree with you. A team can easily outdo one person.
In terms of the actual content? I disagree. You can write a review solo without boring the viewer. I personally think Confused Matthew fails becaus of that. I encourage him to keep trying, but these need a higher entertainment value. He comes off as whiny, and jokes like Uba Duba & Timefiller are only remotely funny the 1st time he says them. By the 10th, it's annoying. That's my 2 c's.
@DaWittleDude True, though Matt dosen't aim to entertain to me knowledge. If I reviewed the prequels I'd try to say something good to go with my complaints, problem is what plusses are there with the prequels? I agree that Matt gets whiny at times but I must ask, why are we and others comparing Matt to RLM?
@Ryoku75 I agree; saying something nice about I-III is like complimenting a smelly old aunt who blows smoke in your face.
My problem is that Matt didn't stick to a traditional review. He put his emotions in it & started poking fun at the names. He consciously decided to try for entertainment, and that's my problem. He's trying to be clever and funny, but the writing just isn't good enough for that. RLM went for the same vibe, only with writing awesome enough to pull it off.
@DaWittleDude come on, dude! This review was out a year and half before Redlettermedia. This is just someone else input about the prequels. Trying to compare and criticize it based on that is rather silly and fanboyish. Redlettermedia is hilarious sure but everyone should be entitled to make their own movie reviews without fear of getting hated on because someone else did it too. Both reviews are good in their own way and they do a good job pointing out the problems of the films
@RoninDave And RLM's "The United States of NOOOO!" was filmed 3 yrs before Confused. What's your point?
I don't hate Confused because this is like RLM. I would argue the opposite. This is nothing like RLM. It's not funny, the critique is weak, he whines frequently, and the "jokes" are few and far between.
Make points intelligently, keep your viewers' interest, & don't rely on name riffs as a replacement for humor. If CM made all his points in <5 mins, I'd think more highly of this.
@DaWittleDude "Make points intelligently, keep your viewers' interest, & don't rely on name riffs as a replacement for humor."
Well unlike the Star Wars movie no one is paying to watch this and the dude can do whatever he wants. I'm just saying it's kind of fanboyish-lame to make comparison to another review who came out a year later. I think because CM has some following on YT some people want to take pot shots at him. there are some low viewed reviews that no one posts this stuff on.
@RoninDave Of course he can do what he wants, as I can post saying it sucks. ;)
Why do you keep mentioning timing? Are you implying RLM copied this drivel? Again, RLM's US of NOo predates Crying Matt by 3 yrs. Do I win a cookie?
Can we stop fanboycalling? "You like ice cream better than cake? FANBOY!"
CM has a following? That's sad. He has the right to whine, but I won't be watching more of his reviews. Now that I've stated my opinion, I'm leaving now. Forever.
@DaWittleDude could you be a little more incoherent? I was in danger of actually understanding you sober. After a few tequila shots, I started to get kind of the gist what you were rambling about but then I sobered up a bit on the fifth reading and lost whatever point you were trying to make.
*sigh* Immaculate Conception refers to MARY, not JESUS. It means that she, unlike the rest of humanity, was born without original sin. It is not a synonym for "virgin birth."
REALLY good point. The Senate wouldn't take the word of two experienced Jedi, sworn to "uphold and defend" justice and life throughout the galaxy? Come on...
I disagree with you about the light sabre battle in this film. I find this one the most choreographed looking. The way Darth Maul moves looks unrealistic and the Jedi seem to fight one choreographed step at a time. Every time I see it, I think "hit on the right, hit on the left, duck, turn around, do a cartwheel, hit low, etc."
@eepruls Qui Gon and Obi Wan are pretty obviously trying to hit the blade of the lightsaber at many times, but I have to say Matthew, the fights in these prequel seem choreographed as opposed to what? The amazing swordfights in the original movies? I don't think so.
@jbeebrylle I was expecting him to do some serious ass-kicking, like he did in all his other films. But no, he mostly just sits around looking woodenly bored, and the one time he fights a guy, HE'S the one who gets ass-kicked! What a disappointment. His only purpose was to draw a bigger audience.
No offence..but i think you are looking too much into it. i mean..this was the first Star Wars movie i ever saw...i was 6 then..so i liked it..i had no idea what d story was..i just liked d movie....after i saw all 6 of them..i can see what you ppl are talking about..but still..it wasnt that bad..i mean..the pod race and d light saber sequences were pretty amazing...
so true.. if you think about it, i think the empire did better running the 'republic' than the Republic did. someone should do a story like the broadway play Wicked, where the wicked witch of the west is actually good and Oz is bad... i think it would be easy considering the stupidity of the republic created in these prequels..thus the rebels and jedi are bad, and the empire, darth vader, etc are good
Don't get me wrong, I love Star Wars but they kinda insult our intelligence by just having one vote take out the previous chancellor. Be one thing if the vote was 111 to 110 but if only one person voted it is like.... right. lol.
@scottieman2 it's interesting.. when i saw the movie, i interpreted that part as this: the queen voted no confidence in the chancellor, others in the senate agreed (i.e., the yelling and shouting and booing) and then the majority of the senate voted to remove him from power and select a new chancellor. many of the senate members seemed to have already been unhappy with the chancellor.. thus it wasnt that that i had as much of a problem with in regard to the republic...
I see what you;re saying. I just thought they actually need more then just that one vote and two thought there would be some of them on his side or some other person out there that would want to be chancellor.
@scottieman2 there were two others who were nominated to be chancellor. so there were some other people who wanted to be chancellor i think... amidala asks palpaletine who else had been nominated after she found out he was running for chancellor
@scottieman2 it's interesting.. when i saw the movie, i interpreted that part as this: the queen voted no confidence in the chancellor, others in the senate agreed (i.e., the yelling and shouting and booing) and then the majority of the senate voted to remove him from power and select a new chancellor. many of the senate members seemed to have already been unhappy with the chancellor.. thus it wasnt that that i had as much of a problem with in regard to the republic...
What i wanna know is, why would Boss Nass appoint Jar Jar Binks, one who is known for being clumsy and incompetent to be the general of the gungan army. Most of Jar Jar's success in the battle was pure dumb luck.
That last Spaceball reference sums up all of the prequel films in a nutshell. Mad props to you!

@slomo93 Well I know this is just six months later but you never hear Palpatine be called Darth Sideious in the originals. He was just the Emperor. The name Darth Vader just sounded like a cool threatening name that Vader probably thought up in order to put the past of Anakin Skywalker behind him.
They should've said that the Sith were an organization that drew from the Dark Side of the force and were essentially the opposite of the Jedi. That would've been explained so easily in one line.

@lobothesacred3 you make a good point another star wars plot hole that always bugged me was how in the fifth 1 Luke either learns how to be a Jedi in like 6 hours or Han and the rest of the cast were on that ship for like 3 months. Also yoda says u hav much to learn then Luke comes back in 6 and yoda then says your training is over I'm like what. Also in this first 1 how is the senate ok with a trade federation that isn't even a planet hav a huge army of attack robots.

@Bwkjam - Who knows. That's like asking why the trade federation invaded Naboo over tax disputes. The best I can come up with is that the Republic is basically like the United Nations, but if that is the case then why does Darth Sidious want to take over it?
lobothesacred3 6 months ago
@Bwkjam I believe it was a few months between 5 and 6. I mean theyre not gonna hatch up that rescue plan in like a few hours, they probably had to regroup. Luke most likely finished his training in that time. Or if memory serves me correct the dual with Vader contributed to his training progress

I think confused matthew missed a plot hole.
Why didn't the Trade Federation destroy the Naboo fighters? If those weren't there Queen Amidala's plan would completely fall apart. Her entire plan revolved around the Trade Federation being dumb enough not to destroy resources under their control that was of no apparent value to them. And, if they were planning on parting them out or something, park the naboo fighters on their own ships.

The point about the midochlorians (or however they're spelled) is spot on. They are so contradictory to the core philosophies of the original trilogy, all those ideas that gave those movies depth, that I've come to the conclusion that all that depth we so appreciated in the originals was conceived by someone else. Judging from the prequels, Lucas didn't even understand those concepts. In that way, the average movie goer had a leg up on him.

Didn't Vader destroying the Sith upset the balance of the force? If there were only two Jedi (Yoda & Obi-wan) and two Sith (Vader & the Emperor) wasn't it then balanced? With Vader & the Emperor dead, now there are only Jedi, and that isn't balaced.
Damn, George. Think these things through!

lolno, it's not about quantity of jedi/sith. It's more about the level of influence and power each has( i assume).

23Stork 11 months ago
@23Stork But after Vader & the Emperor are dead, then there's only the influence of the Jedi. So now it's one-sided, or am I miss interpreting what the "balance" is refering to? If it's not between the Sith and Jedi, then it's between the infuence of good vs. evil? So even though the Sith are dead, there will still be evil in some form or another, but the Jedi/Rebellion are there to balance it out as forces of good?
Damn, now I'm confused...
arm8200 11 months ago
@arm8200 The movies don't make it clear at all. But apparently Lucas was trying to convey that the universe is naturally good... which meant that the existence of the Sith, who use the force for evil, is unnatural and creates an imbalance.
So when Vader and the Emperor die the balance to the force is restored, as there is no one left who is using the dark side for evil.
... unless you count the Expanded Universe, of course :P

@arm8200 I agree entirely. George Lucas used that as an explanation after the movies were made. But as sfdebris loves to point out, you don't get bonus points for things/ideas that weren't in the movie because... they weren't in the movie lol
sonicboom2007 10 months ago
@arm8200 with that in mind, technically anakin did bring balance to the force. cos he unbalanced it by killing dooku, so he killed all but two jedi and became a sith to make it balanced again. see anakin's not a dumb as we thought he was; hes still a murdering phycopath though

The worst part of the entire prophecy is its name, "restore balance to the force..." Well if the dark side is the ying to the light side's yang, and right now the Jedi have all the power, then wouldn't balance mean that there would be equal power between light and dark, like the Sith wielding equal power to the Jedi? I would assume "balance" to mean something different to me, if they had bothered to define it.

Look, the medichlorions are apparently Star Wars lingo for what we call Mitochondria, which really are symbiotic life forms that live in our cells.
You can actually increase your amount of mitochondria through physical training, because they are responsible for oxygen metabolism.
Furthermore, you can think of the force as being kind of like invisible magnetic field lines, and the metichlorions are like iron filings that line up and let you visualize the invisible field.

So this does not negate the spiritual aspects of the force. It just gives a scientific impression of how the force is sensed.

@Starbat88 Actually, it does negate the spirituality. It is saying ultimately that the Force IS the midichlorians and in order to use the powers of the Force one must have midichlorians on their body.
InvisibleSkyDaddy 1 year ago
@InvisibleSkyDaddy NO, no.
Quagon even said in the movie that without the medichlorians, life could not exist and WE WOULD HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE FORCE.
In other words, the very existence of the Force is not dependent on the medichlorians; just the awareness if it's existence.

I still find it hard to understand how George Lucas totally destroyed the idea of the force. If he had kept his mouth shut and left the mystery, that would have gone 100% further than the meticlorins crap. I can`t understand how over 15+ years he failed to realise that the force was so popular because of its `spiritual` or non physical mystery. I`ll bet it was never mentioned again because he realised what a crap thing he had done afterwards.

I've noticed a trend in prequels: introducing a prophecy that applies to the protagonist that somehow influences them towards their apparent destiny. Cases in point: Anakin the Chosen One, Clark Kent the Traveller on Smallville, and Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Wario, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong being the Star Children in Yoshi's Island DS. My only guess is that they reason that we the audience know what's in store, so the characters should too.

@reviewreviewer1 if that is true, how come the prequels suck so badly and the original trilogy just doesnt.

@sietsejohannes Well let`s say I agree that the prequels are awfull: the logic hat because Lucas made something bad, he can`t be responsible, for the good stuff he made and people saved him, gioes against the fact he is a human. Everybody makes mistakes, and most peopke do good, stuff. The fact he made bad stuff aswell doesn`t mwean he is talentless. He is simpily flawed . All humans make mistakes so does that mean aliens are reaponsible for all we achieved?????/
reviewreviewer1 1 year ago
@sietsejohannes Also Lucas didn`t make the prequels for moey, if that was what he cared for he wold have: 1. not donated hundreds of milions, and noe hal his fortune too charities, 2. wouldn`t include politics in his gilms, nor majke them so serious and nonactionpacked, 3. made sequels and milk the original cast, 4. have accepted Leonarde decaprio as Anakin, 5. Not tg make the third films soo dark, 6. never have made a sci fi franchise i the first place etc.................
reviewreviewer1 1 year ago
@reviewreviewer1 1 so lucas gives to charity, thats nice of him really, but he's a fucking billionair! he can afford to give to charity. just because he does that, doesnt mean he didnt want to make it in the first place. btw lucas giving to charity is 1. not his own idea but bill gates's 2. hes only gonna give it after he dies.
2 the politic parts are boring yes, but if you'd cut them away the plot would be even more fucked up and that would sell less also they arent such big parts of the movie

@reviewreviewer1 3 sequels prequels, whats the difference, the original cast was all milked out. 4 if youve seen mrPlinkett youd know that he did cast people just because they were famous. samuel L jackson anyone? 5 he was getting low ratings with kid films so he was moving on to an adult one. such a drastic image change halfway trough a trilogy does show exactly that he wasnt telling any story whatsoever, just caring about sales.

@Ryoku75 In terms of video quality, I would agree with you. A team can easily outdo one person.
In terms of the actual content? I disagree. You can write a review solo without boring the viewer. I personally think Confused Matthew fails becaus of that. I encourage him to keep trying, but these need a higher entertainment value. He comes off as whiny, and jokes like Uba Duba & Timefiller are only remotely funny the 1st time he says them. By the 10th, it's annoying. That's my 2 c's.
DaWittleDude 1 year ago
@DaWittleDude True, though Matt dosen't aim to entertain to me knowledge. If I reviewed the prequels I'd try to say something good to go with my complaints, problem is what plusses are there with the prequels? I agree that Matt gets whiny at times but I must ask, why are we and others comparing Matt to RLM?
Ryoku75 1 year ago
@Ryoku75 I agree; saying something nice about I-III is like complimenting a smelly old aunt who blows smoke in your face.
My problem is that Matt didn't stick to a traditional review. He put his emotions in it & started poking fun at the names. He consciously decided to try for entertainment, and that's my problem. He's trying to be clever and funny, but the writing just isn't good enough for that. RLM went for the same vibe, only with writing awesome enough to pull it off.

@DaWittleDude come on, dude! This review was out a year and half before Redlettermedia. This is just someone else input about the prequels.

Both reviews are good in their own way and they do a good job pointing out the problems of the films

@eepruls Qui Gon and Obi Wan are pretty obviously trying to hit the blade of the lightsaber at many times, but I have to say Matthew, the fights in these prequel seem choreographed as opposed to what? The amazing swordfights in the original movies? I don't think so.

Luke was trained when he was a late teenager! Yoda didn't have any issue with that. Saying Anakin is too old is just ridiculous.

@jbeebrylle I was expecting him to do some serious ass-kicking, like he did in all his other films. But no, he mostly just sits around looking woodenly bored, and the one time he fights a guy, HE'S the one who gets ass-kicked! What a disappointment. His only purpose was to draw a bigger audience.

it's funny u should mention how stupid the republic is, because it's so corrupt that there's no wonder on why it's so stupid

No wonder Palpatine took over with the senate set up stupidly.

so true.. if you think about it, i think the empire did better running the 'republic' than the Republic did. someone should do a story like the broadway play Wicked, where the wicked witch of the west is actually good and Oz is bad... i think it would be easy considering the stupidity of the republic created in these prequels..thus the rebels and jedi are bad, and the empire, darth vader, etc are good

Don't get me wrong, I love Star Wars but they kinda insult our intelligence by just having one vote take out the previous chancellor. Be one thing if the vote was 111 to 110 but if only one person voted it is like.... right. lol.

@scottieman2 it's interesting.. when i saw the movie, i interpreted that part as this: the queen voted no confidence in the chancellor, others in the senate agreed (i.e., the yelling and shouting and booing) and then the majority of the senate voted to remove him from power and select a new chancellor. many of the senate members seemed to have already been unhappy with the chancellor.. thus it wasnt that that i had as much of a problem with in regard to the republic...

I see what you;re saying. I just thought they actually need more then just that one vote and two thought there would be some of them on his side or some other person out there that would want to be chancellor.

@scottieman2 there were two others who were nominated to be chancellor. so there were some other people who wanted to be chancellor i think... amidala asks palpaletine who else had been nominated after she found out he was running for chancellor

What i wanna know is, why would Boss Nass appoint Jar Jar Binks, one who is known for being clumsy and incompetent to be the general of the gungan army. Most of Jar Jar's success in the battle was pure dumb luck.
