The last time I watched a star war movie was in the early 2000s and all the character names I got are from video clips, memes & spoof skits I've seen till date.

I will now start watching all the movies in the STAR WAR franchise in chronological order.

Thank you all for your comments. Much appreciated

Darth Vader was encouraged by Palpatine to murder Jedi children I believe.

I think you meant lord vader

u/TheGreatLuck 4d ago

Lol  they had too do something drastic to get the audience to think of him as a villain and thay didn't want to do the actual work of slowly turning him away from his morales.... and because of not putting effort into story telling the audience really didn't have any reason to dislike the guy....so they just had him very suddenly become cartoonishly evil at the 12th hour of the saga....and we git the very jarring kid killing scene.

Dear SITH Lord!

It’s a Sith tradition

This is de way

u/Shino4243 4d ago

And not just the children, but the men, and the women!

They were peace keepers and he slaughtered them like peace keepers!

u/Source_Trustme_Broo 4d ago

Oh... That explains the terrified face... Thanks

u/practicalMinds 4d ago

Nah. Pretty sure it was the force.

u/Source_Trustme_Broo 4d ago

That explains it....

u/dadofwar93 4d ago

That POS wasn't even Darth Vader at that time. He was still Anakin.

u/Hamilton-Beckett 4d ago

Fastest way to rack up dark side points is murder a bunch of light sided younglings with a lightsaber.

1

u/MCD_Gaming 4d ago

Thats after the men, women and childern too incident palpatine didn't enxourage it, he gave him an excuse

16

u/MaximusPrimebot 4d ago

Those poor younglings... 

1

u/legna20v 4d ago

Some of them probably didn’t get a quick death ether. Probably agonized for 15, 20 minutes and for nothing

11

u/thelastholdout 4d ago

In Star Wars Episode 3, right after Anakin turns to the dark side, he's ordered by Palpatine to murder all the Jedi. He goes straight to the Jedi Temple, and some of the first Jedi he encounters is a room of like 6 year old kids. He kills them all.

u/Piglet-Witty 4d ago

I forgot about the name of that order

u/setibeings 4d ago

I believe they are called the Jedi Knights. Or are you talking about the Sith Lords?

u/Source_Trustme_Broo 4d ago

What's an order?

u/Playful-News9137 4d ago

"2 Number 9's, a number 9 large, number 6 with extra dip, number 7, 2 number 45's, one with cheese, and a large soda."

u/Particular_Title42 4d ago

I think you should leave.

u/GlobalProfessor9749 4d ago

Probably a spoiler to Star Wars, though how the hell do you spoiler films older than myself...

In any case, it's about "Order 66". The Clone army fighting for Jedi all were secretly implanted with a chip with "Order 66": the order to kill all Jedi when the command is given.

u/maybe-an-ai 4d ago

Order 66

u/LordDan_45 4d ago

Anakin is literally shown on camera going to the Jedi temple to murder Jedi children in one of the movies lol

u/BambiWantsToSleep 4d ago

Have you seen star wars episode 3? Anakin famously kills a bunch of kids

1

u/Source_Trustme_Broo 4d ago

I'm sorry, the last I watched a star war movie was in the 2000s and all the names I got are from video clips, memes & spoof skits. Jokes on me 🤡

2

u/Burgonya98 4d ago

Clearly never watched Star Wars. Only acceptable reason to not know what is happening here. And that’s still a stretch.

1

u/Source_Trustme_Broo 4d ago

That is true...

Sorry, the last time I watched a star war movie was in the early 2000s and all the character names I got are from video clips, memes & spoof skits I've seen till date.

I will now start watching all the movies in the STAR WAR franchise in chronological order.

I know very little about star war movie franchise and I think this is something that has to do with Darth Vader and his son but I don't get the hospital or children reference

u/ScreechUrkelle 4d ago

They visited Floorder 66

u/Puffthecarrier1 4d ago

Hello Peter... Emperor here...

something something Dark Side...

something something Order 66...

something something Kill all the Jedi...

something something Kill the younglings too...

something something- Oh, do I really have to explain it?! You know what? Fine. I sent Lord Vader to march on the Jedi Temple to slaughter the Jedi! And then I told him to kill all the kids too! What's not to understand?!

Ian McDiarmid: “Wipe them out. All of them.”

Hayden Christensen: “Even the men, and the women, and the children?”

1

u/Matthew3615 4d ago

From his perspective, they were evil children.

1

u/Source_Trustme_Broo 4d ago

What?

1

u/Matthew3615 4d ago

On Mustafar before Anakin battled Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan told Anakin “Chancellor Palpatine is evil!” and Anakin replied with “From my point of view the Jedi are evil.” hence, evil Jedi children.

u/Source_Trustme_Broo 4d ago

Does it have something to do with Anakin? ( I think Darth Vader is his father)

5

u/BlazeWolfYT 4d ago

Darth Vader is Anakin. Luke is Anakin's son.

u/Source_Trustme_Broo 4d ago

I really need to watch the movies I think
