The waterfalls of Theed sparkle in the noonday sun.

Introduction of the handmaidens
- Keira Knightly as Sabé.
Second Padmé outfit: orange handmaiden.

Mentioned: the Sehhhnate.
This shot of the droids marching into Theed is supposed to evoke the Germans marching into Paris.
- Odd imagery for a movie supposedly aimed at children.
- Part of the running theme of the schizophrenic tone of the movie.
Movies we'd like to see: Play it Again, Figrin D'an based on Casablanca.
The Nemoidians have no entourage, whereas Amidala anyways has a retinue, even for when she's being rescued.
Considering that the endgame for the Nemoidians was to get the Queen to sign the treaty, they are in no hurry (they send her to be processed first), and don't seem all that excited that they won.
"Nute and Rune" the spin-off sitcom.
Roads in Star Wars.
More on Sidious' plan.
- This is all to give the Nemoidians something to do in order to generate a cris.
Earth wildlife is common in this movie.
- Ducks
- Bongo
- Pelicans

Mentioned Blase tree goats.
The rigidly defined boundaries of what desserts Ralph can and can't talk about.

the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is seen by historians as the small spark that touched off the powderkeg of Europe. It was the first in a chain of events that began World War I.
The proper name of that desk toy is a Newton's cradle.
As this is the introduction of the handmaidens, it's also the first time that the interchangeable handmaiden names are mispronounced.

Ralph: Not a lot of people put a liquid "E" in words. Pete: Nute Gunray: Master of the Liquid E.
Alex: –but no, no one lives in Theed.
Alex: Who's the one falling over in that scene? Is it Obi-Wan Pete: I'll give you four guesses. Ralph: That klutzy Kenobi.
Ralph: He showed up in his space car with his best space buddy; they flew through all of that star war...
Ralph: Do either of you have a handkerchief? I feel like my brain is dribbling or my nose.
