Notes
Film
- One of the most iconic minutes of this movie.
- Starts with Lama Su leading Obi-Wan to go check out the clones, and ends with Anakin extolling the virtues of Padmé.
- The wipe to Naboo goes counter to Obi-Wan's movement.
- Paddy Accu.
- Villa retreat dress/gown (outfit 6).
Podcast
- One of many cut scenes would happen before the Anakin-Padmé scene.
- Padmé brings Anakin home to meet the family.
- Important character building, with better acting, that sets up this scene.
- Deleted Padmé outfit: Homecoming attire.
- Padmé brings Anakin home to meet the family.
- The meaning behind the scene wipe.
- Space gondola
- Alex does not care for it. Mentioned: I care.
- Guess the names of Padmé's family members.
- Her father has a lady's name? Naboobians don't understand how names work.
- Sheev is also from Naboo, so presumably that's where his name comes from.
- Her father has a lady's name? Naboobians don't understand how names work.
I don't like sand
- Cornier things have been said in film, and have been accepted.
- Padmé is the one who brought up sand.
- Anakin would have no dating experience.
- Anakin can't relate to normal childhood stuff like swimming and having friends, but he can relate to sand.
- He does the classic improv mistake of immediately shutting her down (as opposed to "yes, and")
- Since water is so scarce on Tatooine, people probably just relieve themselves on the sand.
- Line delivery is stiff, making everything awkward and creepy.
- Creepy swallow between "soft" and "smooth". On paper this is a comedic bit.
- The line is often misquoted as "I hate sand".
- The other cut scene, in Padme's bedroom.
- Anakin's concept of "home". He hates where he came from (represented by sand), where he was a slave.
- He feels out of place.
- As a Jedi, Anakin helps people all across the galaxy (who have it better than he did growing up), but he can't free his mother.
- Anakin's concept of "home". He hates where he came from (represented by sand), where he was a slave.
- Sudden pivot from talking about sand to kissing. There's no buildup.
- Anakin, as a mechanic/tinkerer, would dislike sand because it gets in the machinery.
- It gets everywhere" is the gross part of the dialog.
- Padmé talking about lying on the beach—foreshadowing Anakin lying on a lava "beach"?
- Hayden Christensen carries the kernel of Vader darkness in every scene, and it doesn't mix well with romance.
- Callback to the casting process for teenage Anakin.
- Anakin getting bad dating advice, especially from Palpatine.
- Obi-Wan has game, but he doesn't teach Anakin his techniques.
- Joseph Star Wars role-playing with his wife.
- Can this dialog be said in a non-creepy way?
- Call the 8-DAY-GREEDO hotline.
Meta Minute
- 29:01 podcast episode length.
Quotes
- Joseph: I like the Prequels. Even. This. Minute.
- Joseph: He [Palpatine] was first 'sheeved' on Naboo itself.
- Pete: I don't like sand. There's poop in it.
- Joseph: (as Anakin) You are beautiful, and with your consent I'd like to touch you.
- Alex: Someone on the SWMLS board— Pete: <interrupting> You mean the Star Wars Minute Listener's Society, on Facebook? Alex: Exactly.
