"They jumped out the chairs and came at me with lightsabers. I got a right to defend myself, Obi-wan!"
"They jumped out the chairs and came at me with lightsabers. I got a right to defend myself, Obi-wan!"
"I just force pushed them into a wall, my master"
i don't hate the prequels as much as others, but those scenes with a lot of light sabers did look like a shitty rave
...and then Anakin went full school shooter mode for no reason at all
no wait.. actually it was because Padma was dying or something (she wasn't)
ehh. actually it was because he had a bad dream or wharever..
Lucas is such a shit writer
Nigga this is photoshopped
They betrayed the republic?
Thats my story.
Why is the Asian boy's saber bent like that?
yellow lightsaber
Lucas insisted there was only blue, green and red lightsabers. Purple was an aberration for LL Cool J.
which part?
Ok so it's clear George both created Star wars and really sucked at making star wars movies on his own. Who exactly made the OT not suck?
confused, manipulated, manic teenager does something insane
rlmillennials expect me to believe that this is bad writing
He has a curved saber like Dooku. It happens to some people.
he had a bad day, okay?
Order 66...whatever happened there..
teenager
Nigga He's like 30 by the time of ROTS
This scene was retarded yes, but it a way where you could have just cut it out and removed any references to it, and the movie would have worked just fine. It was completely unnecessary.
It was the medication for his midichlorian count. Probably get a note from his doctors.
so happened THAT just had
It was completely unnecessary.
Without that scene there was no way the audience could tell that anakin had gone bad
Yes star war fans are that retarded
1- Lucas literally sold this shit so you all would leave him alone.
2-You know they only have green because the blue color kept getting fucked up during Return right? They literally add new colors as needed. Canon.
Yeah, It's sad when they go young like that.
Hayden was like 19 when they filmed RotS, wasn’t he?
In the Ralph Mcquarrie concept art, I think all savers are universally just white for both sith and jedi, which is kind of boring. Multi-colored sabers is an improvement
"I must contact Ahsoka now. I sense she's in trouble."
"Wait what? who is Ahsoka?"
"My old padawan, she's on mandalore with Bo-Katan, your former lover's sister."
"Anakin what are you talking about? Anyway, be patient, you'll eventually get promoted to the rank of master."
so that just happened posts in 2025
The first movie was famously saved by the editor and the other two were written and directed by other people. George Lucas is an ideas guy, he can think of some cool stuff (that he saw somewhere else) but he's not good as an actual writer or director.
I remember when they said this.
You are a gigantic faggot lmao
Has anyone worked out where that even came from? To my knowledge it was never actually said anywhere in a Marvel film, so where did it come from?
I agree with you, but at the same time, I don’t dislike the prequels because you can clearly see the love and vision that went in to them. The people who made the sequels despised what they making.
It took him like a week to go from celebrating becoming a parent to committing genocide and wishing death on the man that raised him and choking the woman he loved
i still sense good in you, father
fuck off luke, your dad's an irredeemable monster
lucas is a hack
It came from twitterfaggots taking shots at marvel for their cheap humour, which is fucking retarded since the majority of them are american, and "so that just happened" has never been said in any media that wasn't american
You mean the guy that already slaughtered a bunch of children in the second movie? Prequel haters watch movies with their eyes closed
Vader cut off his son’s hand and was willing to annihilate an entire planet that had his daughter on it in the OT. You don’t need the prequels to suggest he was already an irredeemable monster and his redemption was an asspull.
Aren't those sand people like Half-Mutants Dog monsters?
This happened.
cap america says "Is that what just happened?" In avengers 1 but the context is a bit different
He was forgiven by the force after everything he has done as Vader btw.
the point is he was drawing on the side of the force that makes you absolute batshit until someone was able to talk some sense into him
Spare the faggot brackets reddit nigger
Anakin… one of them tripped on his own robes and you called it “aggressive posturing.”
You pulled out your saber because a 5-year-old asked if you wanted to play tag.
You didn’t “defend yourself,” you entered the Jedi Temple like it was a PvP lobby and toggled godmode.
You turned a preschool into a deleted Mortal Kombat scene.
More like 22
the dark side must have got to them, poor saps
Remove James Earl Jones and the lightsaber sounds, what do you have left?
The only sith I can think of that deeply regrets his actions was from the EU. Ajunta Pall who was like Anakin and turned against his Jedi Masters. Revan redeemed him in first KOTOR game.
Anakin didn’t go school shooter mode “for no reason”—he was groomed, emotionally unstable, isolated from the Jedi, manipulated by Palpatine for years, and terrified of losing the only person he loved because the Jedi trained him to fear attachment instead of deal with it.
The “bad dream” wasn’t random—it mirrored his trauma from losing his mom and became the crack Palpatine exploited to sell him on the dark side.
It’s a tragedy, not a logic puzzle. He didn’t snap because of one thing, he collapsed under all of it.
Cope harder, Lucas wrote a mythic fall-from-grace, not a Marvel quipfest.
heavy breathing
NOOOOOOO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ACCURATELY READ INTO ANAKIN'S CHARACTER YOU HAVE TO SAY IT'S SHIT WRITING!!! YOU HAVE TO!!!!!!!!
Sidious could've used them as dark jedi servants.
not to be a total filoni shill but this is actually explored a lot more in that show. There's countless scenes where palpatine is pitting anakin against the council and highlighting their hypocrisy to him subtly, and inflating his ego.
no i'm not saying the show is good but you know
No half measures
the jedi were retarded for admitting a moody teenager just cause Quigon picked him as a pet, but the jedi bekng retarded despite being cool was kind of the point of the movies
Damn, you're right. I’ll shut my brain off and start yelling “BAD WRITING” like it’s 2008 on YouTube. Forgive me, RLM gods.
Exactly. The Jedi being “cool but dumb” is literally baked into the tragedy. They weren’t evil, just arrogant, out of touch, and dogmatic—so obsessed with “the Code” and politics they couldn’t see how badly they were handling Anakin or the war. Qui-Gon wasn’t just being a maverick for fun—he saw the flaws in the Jedi and tried to fix them. That’s why he wanted to train Anakin his way, not theirs.
The Jedi Council rejecting that, then half-assing it by letting Obi-Wan take over, basically sealed Anakin’s fate. Lucas didn’t fumble—he showed how even good institutions collapse when they get too rigid to adapt. That’s Star Wars at its smartest.
Not that I don't believe you, but lets review the security footage.
I swear I could remember the lead youngling turning on his lightsaber but I can't find a video of it.
He's literally killing child soldiers.
Why didn't Minch do anything to stop the downfall of the Jedi Order?
The editor herself has debunked this myth. Just accept that the prequels are good.
What'd I tell ya, Luke. Hold onto your cock when you negotiate with these desert people.
It’s explored in the movies too. Palps is consistently portrayed as one of Anakin’s best friends, and like his father figure. He literally calls him son in RotS. Obi Wan isn’t his father figure, he’s more like an older sibling.
Ah yes, the mysterious Minch—the deep-cut, proto-Yoda name from old Star Wars lore… but in canon… he didn’t exist.
In Legends… he lived long before the Clone Wars, and was likely long gone by the time of the Jedi Purge.
And in real-world terms? "Minch" was just an early draft name that George Lucas dropped before finalizing “Yoda.”
Now, if you meant Yoda...
Then that’s a real question. Yoda did try, but he was also part of the problem. He upheld a rigid, increasingly out-of-touch Jedi Code, sat on the High Council as it got too cozy with the Senate, and failed to sense the growing influence of the Sith. His belief in detachment and suppressing emotion created the perfect storm for someone like Anakin to fall through the cracks. His heart was in the right place, but his worldview was ancient in the worst way.
So yeah, Minch couldn’t stop it because he was a footnote. Yoda didn’t stop it because he was too much a part of the old system to see it was crumbling.
It's in some deleted scenes and books but Anakin's point was they say I'm too young but I've been a child soldier for you for 12 years, I've trained child soldiers, your entire age thing is bullshit, you use child soldiers. You aren't fighting or doing anything just sending children off to die while denying them rights, like slaves. Anakin being a former slave kind of figures out he's still a slave for the Jedi but a killer. Mace and him are actually closer but are faking dislike in public as well. Mace, Yoda and one other random are the only decent ones left on the council by the end of war all the brave ones died
Mace was the worst of the lot you stupid fuck
Obi Wan giving Luke this lightsaber as if it's a family heirloom to take pride in really feels different when you consider it was used to murder children
That's not an example then.
No he was actually an Anakin booster and friend. There's some deleted scenes of them.
never washed
It's just an object. Why do you reddit niggers even come here?
Mace is literally everything wrong with the jedi.
.. odd. He's a friend of Anakin. He actually fights. He knows about padme and is covering for him
No anon Mace was right the whole time. He knew Anakin was a risk and just did not ignore his dangerous actions like Obi and Yoda. He knew that boy was not right from day one. If they sent anakin off and hid his identity it may have saved the galaxy from the sith and him from all the dakrness that came from him joining the jedi.
It was a self fulfilling prophecy. Mace being an utter faggot from the moment he met anakin was a huge part of the problem.
