00:03:53 ◼   ► place in this episode I will be brief so [TS]

00:03:55 ◼   ► we've done a bunch of episodes of star [TS]

00:03:57 ◼   ► wars before three beloved movies that [TS]

00:04:01 ◼   ► make a nice little story the first we [TS]

00:04:03 ◼   ► meet Luke and the last movie Vader's [TS]

00:04:05 ◼   ► dead empires defeated Luke is a Jedi [TS]

00:04:07 ◼   ► sorry if you want to the spoiler horn [TS]

00:04:08 ◼   ► for that too late [TS]

00:04:10 ◼   ► yeah there's just one wrinkle in the [TS]

00:04:11 ◼   ► middle movie we learned that Vader is [TS]

00:04:13 ◼   ► Luke's father and this is the seed of [TS]

00:04:15 ◼   ► prequels so the prequels are not more [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► adventures in the star wars universe or [TS]

00:04:19 ◼   ► tiny started seed that no one wanted to [TS]

00:04:22 ◼   ► see go in the first place and it's not [TS]

00:04:24 ◼   ► like learning about you know minor [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► characters or whatever the seat of the [TS]

00:04:28 ◼   ► prequels is the is the fact Vader is [TS]

00:04:30 ◼   ► Luke's father right so the Star Wars [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► prequels I see them have one job explain [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► how the good man who was Luke's father [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► became Darth Vader that's that's the [TS]

00:04:38 ◼   ► reason these movies exist and I know if [TS]

00:04:41 ◼   ► we're going to do episode 2 & 3 [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► God please let's not i was right but [TS]

00:04:45 ◼   ► either way I want to make one [TS]

00:04:47 ◼   ► overarching point before we begin this [TS]

00:04:50 ◼   ► accurately here we have been doing here [TS]

00:04:52 ◼   ► yeah forget for a moment about the [TS]

00:04:55 ◼   ► terrible script bad acting Jar Jar Binks [TS]

00:04:57 ◼   ► all that stuff the greatest sin of the [TS]

00:04:59 ◼   ► Star Wars prequels is that they failed [TS]

00:05:01 ◼   ► to provide a compelling rationale story [TS]

00:05:03 ◼   ► of how Anakin Skywalker became Darth [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► Vader i'm sure we'll talk about all the [TS]

00:05:06 ◼   ► other problems in the rest of this [TS]

00:05:08 ◼   ► episode here but above and beyond all of [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► that is this essential truth I the [TS]

00:05:13 ◼   ► prequels had one job to do as far as I'm [TS]

00:05:15 ◼   ► concerned and they blew it and they [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► didn't just blow it they're blue in a [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► spectacular fashion and I presume that [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► is what we will talk about for the rest [TS]

00:05:22 ◼   ► of this episode I i will go ahead as an [TS]

00:05:24 ◼   ► addendum to Jones excellent excellent [TS]

00:05:26 ◼   ► allowing which which I agree with [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► wholeheartedly is that more than that [TS]

00:05:30 ◼   ► because they failed so protected this [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► job [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► they also kind of to a certain extent [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► compromise the original trilogy in that [TS]

00:05:38 ◼   ► their existence reveals something that [TS]

00:05:40 ◼   ► is considered you know a major plot [TS]

00:05:43 ◼   ► twist of the original trilogy which to [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► me is problematic because how do you [TS]

00:05:48 ◼   ► deal with the fact that you go into [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► these like if you watch them in the [TS]

00:05:52 ◼   ► supposed order starting episode 1 and [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► moving forward the ending of empire is [TS]

00:05:57 ◼   ► basically is spoiled and and as one of [TS]

00:06:00 ◼   ► the great moments of the original [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► trilogy that that i find i find [TS]

00:06:05 ◼   ► unforgivable empires not that good [TS]

00:06:07 ◼   ► anyway but that's not this room's fault [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► that's a different movies fault is it [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► that this is the first movie leading up [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► to it i will say there is a way to get [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► around that which is the only way i can [TS]

00:06:18 ◼   ► conceivably consider watching the Star [TS]

00:06:20 ◼   ► Wars prequels which is machete order [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► which i'm sure we'll talk about later [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► but still my main problem with this [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► movie in [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► earlier is that the person with the most [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► fleshed-out character uh who has the [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► most interesting dialogue back and forth [TS]

00:06:39 ◼   ► and dialogue exchange Richard future is [TS]

00:06:42 ◼   ► well [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► r2d2 Archie takes a close second he has [TS]

00:06:46 ◼   ► a hot scene with Pompey too well that's [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► the thing [TS]

00:06:49 ◼   ► alright so r2d2 can't actually speak in [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► words or at least we get to make up [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► whatever he's saying yeah so he [TS]

00:06:56 ◼   ► automatically has carlines yeah yeah [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► always filthy everything he says little [TS]

00:07:02 ◼   ► he's a droid what do you expect he's [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► mirroring what I'm thinking as I'm [TS]

00:07:06 ◼   ► watching the film yes but no it's it's [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► the slave parts dealer it's Watteau [TS]

00:07:12 ◼   ► water was the only person who's a good [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► 3d character in this movie and he's not [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► even three you know the only part of him [TS]

00:07:19 ◼   ► that's technically 3d is the CGI that [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► made him and yet he is the most [TS]

00:07:24 ◼   ► compelling character in this movie this [TS]

00:07:26 ◼   ► is a movie that has liam neeson and ewan [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► mcgregor in it and the most compelling [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► character is a cgi winged thing that's [TS]

00:07:35 ◼   ► not our tutor and rgtu well r2 d2 is [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► awesome [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► regardless he wins the world whatever [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► alright thank you any other opening [TS]

00:07:44 ◼   ► statements before I call my first [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► witness there are reasons that these [TS]

00:07:50 ◼   ► movies exist other than to make a profit [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► I realize that's a goal of every movie [TS]

00:07:54 ◼   ► that's made but this movie came in with [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► enormous cultural expectations and they [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► didn't even attempt to fulfill them by [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► including any art you know John talks [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► about the goal of the movie that the [TS]

00:08:06 ◼   ► thematic endpoint that they were [TS]

00:08:09 ◼   ► supposedly shooting for but it was just [TS]

00:08:12 ◼   ► time to make more money right well night [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► because I think there was that that seed [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► of the movie is like like this that the [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► Star Wars movies make a nice whole story [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► and there's just one little thing left [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► you like oh yeah but like but what about [TS]

00:08:25 ◼   ► later yeah i know i saw the whole story [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► so I had ended and everything but like [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► what what about how did you get to be [TS]

00:08:29 ◼   ► that guy because I heard in the first [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► one that he was a good guy anybody in [TS]

00:08:31 ◼   ► this bag that is like the only untied up [TS]

00:08:34 ◼   ► loose ends and if you really need a star [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► was like yeah I bet that's an [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► interesting story turned out but yeah [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► like so that's one of those interesting [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► stories loose [TS]

00:08:42 ◼   ► is that you don't want to explain no I [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► like you you can splatter if you can [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► come up with your own solution on that [TS]

00:08:47 ◼   ► one you can explain it with a good story [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► isn't there could've been another good [TS]

00:08:51 ◼   ► story there [TS]

00:08:52 ◼   ► I I groove John I'm either wasn't but i [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► think i think you know the idea of [TS]

00:08:56 ◼   ► having I think that I willing to give [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► Lucas the benefit of the doubt in that [TS]

00:09:00 ◼   ► he intended well when he set out on this [TS]

00:09:02 ◼   ► journey but he just massively failed in [TS]

00:09:05 ◼   ► the execution of what you again i don't [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► think it was like a money-grab like it's [TS]

00:09:08 ◼   ► not like oh well actually we already had [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► more money than completely [TS]

00:09:11 ◼   ► self-contained story and there's no [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► reason for it there was a reason it's [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► not like he had 20 G's well we we just [TS]

00:09:16 ◼   ► wrapped up everything and there's [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► nothing i'll have to invent all new [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► characters you didn't you didn't need [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► the middle because you had Anakin he [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► deserved busy you know [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► and in fact there's a failure we can go [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► into not inventing more people i know [TS]

00:09:28 ◼   ► what I'm saying like it's not as if it's [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► not as if there without they're gonna we [TS]

00:09:31 ◼   ► really need to make some new Star Wars [TS]

00:09:33 ◼   ► movies but there's really nothing more [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► site now they're totally was like i mean [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► i think the the three after like the [TS]

00:09:38 ◼   ► original nine plan or whatever like the [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► three after you could argue boy then [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► what are you going to say but for the [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► prequels there was a reason for them to [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► exist and I think that's why everyone [TS]

00:09:46 ◼   ► was so excited about them because you [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► there there wasn't like this reputation [TS]

00:09:49 ◼   ► of like oh my God we're going to be [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► about of course they were going to be [TS]

00:09:52 ◼   ► about you know Anakin Vader thing [TS]

00:09:54 ◼   ► yeah everybody wanted to see obi-wan [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► teaching Anakin because we'd heard about [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► it for so long and it's the clone wars [TS]

00:10:01 ◼   ► got to mention you could do it like [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► that's open but that's that's called you [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► mean that's part of the backstory of the [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► of the true trilogy is it's it's it's [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► the the fleshing out that you don't want [TS]

00:10:12 ◼   ► detailed it didn't in the detailing it [TS]

00:10:14 ◼   ► ruins it was a totally unnecessary [TS]

00:10:17 ◼   ► venture [TS]

00:10:17 ◼   ► well there is definitely detailing the [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► ruins this i mean i think we can all [TS]

00:10:21 ◼   ► will get to the midi-chlorian part later [TS]

00:10:22 ◼   ► and I think we all we all agree that [TS]

00:10:24 ◼   ► that there is detailing their the ruins [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► it [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► I i don't think that necessarily just by [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► the idea of wanting to see this lead [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► necessarily its existence of ruins it I [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► still maintain that there's a good story [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► they could be told here but the the way [TS]

00:10:37 ◼   ► it was told was really bad i mean i [TS]

00:10:38 ◼   ► think i think it's to me it's [TS]

00:10:40 ◼   ► interesting to see we have a character [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► like obi-wan it has this hubris and [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► realizes that he has screwed up and try [TS]

00:10:46 ◼   ► to train this guy who was not capable of [TS]

00:10:47 ◼   ► training and it is interesting to us to [TS]

00:10:50 ◼   ► see this guy who has become the mentor [TS]

00:10:52 ◼   ► to his son like well okay how did that [TS]

00:10:54 ◼   ► happen [TS]

00:10:54 ◼   ► how did he screw up so badly like wasn't [TS]

00:10:56 ◼   ► really his fault I mean and how did this [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► person who is you know supposedly [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► there's a whole you know the father [TS]

00:11:02 ◼   ► issues in 7.2 how do our fathers we look [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► up to in many ways end up failing us and [TS]

00:11:08 ◼   ► and failing themselves and I think there [TS]
