    >bounty hunter tells Obi Wan that "Darth Tyranus" aka Count Dooku hired him to create an army for the republic

          An actual moron could find out the the “left” and the “right” are both just puppets of the globalist elites and two sides of the same coin, hence why they only split hairs over trivial shit like abortion or where people are allowed to pee yet unilaterally support their overlords via taxation and military support. BUT, you’re most likely voting for one of them this year thinking it will cause change, aint ya?

      >Bounty Hunter tells Obi Wan that "a man named Tyranus" hired him. He doesn't say Darth. This is not expanded upon, and the Jedi do not know that Tyranus and Dooku are the same person.

      The movie is about Palpatine fermenting a galactic war in which he controls both sides -- explained by the "military creation act" being voted on at the beginning of the movie. Palpatine is trying to assassinate Padme because she is a vocal voice in opposition of the creation of the army.

      Clone armies were already being bred for the Republic while droid armies were being manufactured for the Separatists, but the clone attack on Geonosis was not planned by Palpatine. This only happened because Obi Wan discovered the clones on Kamino and Yoda brought them to Geonosis to save the Jedi. The conflict kicked off ahead of schedule and Palpatine capitalized on the situation.

          Hey man, he was high.

          I like the part where Obi Wan is so stoned he can't comprehend how a planet could be missing from the archives so Yoda gets a literal child to explain to him that someone must've erased it just to hammer home how unbelievably dumb he is.

      It's because Palpatine was "clouding their judgment" with potent sith farts. The entire jedi council was inhaling Sheev's braps throughout the entire prequel trilogy which explains why they all had the same IQ as a tin of baked beans.

      They do suspect it but at that point they can use it or get fricked. The point is Palpatine manipulated everyone on both sides of the conflict so that their apparent "best" option always furthered his master plan. It was great.

      It does make sense if you don't take everything at face value.
      >Republic has been peaceful for like a thousand years or something
      >Those in power and the Jedi, enjoy that peace so much that the thought it could end doesn't even cross their minds
      >To them, whatever stuff is going in will get resolved since it would be nearly impossible to take down the system made up of countless worlds
      >Having the clone army only made that arrogance bigger since they could boast about having an endless army
      Palpatine's trojan horse plan was the only believable way for him to take over.

    I think its rather the point that it makes no sense to see Anakin as a small child other than perhaps that I think that Lucas was trying to make Citizen Kane in Space, the issue is that it kinda feels rushed and disjointed when you have 1 film being about when the War Starts, then the 3rd film is when it ends, it would stand to reason that the prequels should have started with the begining of the Clone Wars and Ended with Revenge of the Sith and maybe the Phantom Menace should have been like a preqeul-prequel film. Its interesting conceptually but because of say the Clone Wars cartoon show its clear that the prequels should have been 4 movies long and not 3 in order to do proper world building and character development.

    The Duel of the Fates was actually about whether Qui-Gon lives. If he lives, he trains Anakin properly and in a safe manner (and probably ransoms his mom lmao). Since Qui-Gon died, a green and hot-headed Obi-Wan had to train Anakin.

    >Anakin is not even the same character.
    True and well observed anon. In fact, it's not even the same actor playing him. Apparently the original actor playing Anakin in The Phantom Menace was raped to death by Spielberg in between takes and George Lucas was left with no choice but to cast an entirely new actor to replace him for AOTC. Unfortunately Lucas cast an actor who was noticeably 20 years older than Anakin had been in the previous film. This might have worked if the rest of the cast had all aged 20 years but because none of the other characters have aged at all it really makes this goof stand out even more. Luckily the film is a complete pile of shit anyway so who cares lol.

The assassin also has ties to Dooku, the leader of the faction that the clones are meant to be fighting (note Obi Wan is NOT aware that Dooku is Tyrannus, the audience only finds out at the end of the movie which is meant to clue us in on the conspiracy)
    >Obi Wan is on the cusp of discovering the whole conspiracy on Geonosis when he's captured, and his hubris/loyalty to the Order prevents him from listening to a 'traitor' when Dooku attempts to reason with him

        No, Padme is leading the opposition against the army, then he chases her off, then his henchman (the guy with the horns) telegraphs what he wants Jar Jar to do and Jar Jar being the idiot that he is just goes along with it and takes Padme's place in the senate, since he's the only other representative from Naboo left.

    We really don't see the culmination of Anakin's story arc until Episode IV: A New Hope where Vader's custom Tie Fighter spins out of control and away from the battle this shows the bitter irony inherent in Episode I's line "I'll try spinning, that's a good trick."
