February 20th, 2017

C-3PO is working outside the homestead. He looks up as ANAKIN and PADME arrive.

Starts with Obi-Wan getting out of his ship to investigate (it's implied in his mandate), and ends with C-3PO being incredibly pleased.
Classic wipe transition.
The classic Lars homestead. There's no "applause shot" for the familiar location.
Reintroduction of Treadwell! Oh and C-3PO.

C-3PO may appear CG in this scene, but it's clear they did make a matte finish Threepio costume (unlike the clone trooper armor).

In the original script C-3PO was still "naked". They may have filmed it with the puppet from TPM, then digitally added his plating later.
Anakin is Threepio's maker. Does this give him a God complex?
- Ironic, considering he's the only character in the movies that was ever mistaken for a god.
The Ewok TV movies.
Anthony Daniels brings the characters of both Threepio and Artoo to life.
- The feud between Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels.
General thoughts on Natalie Portman as an actress.
- Plug for Jackie.
George Lucas giving performance notes to his actors.
- Mentioned: The Princess Diarist
- Referenced: The Fisher clause.
How did C-3PO recognize Anakin?
- Did he ever recognize Vader?
Referenced: Smeagol from Lord of the Rings.
