Anakin reaches for his lightsaber.

Starts with Padmé disappearing from view as the conveyor belt rolls her away, and ends with C-3PO being judgmental about the factory and calling it perverse.

Droid Tales has a great parody of this minute.
This is unlike anything else in any of the trilogies.

Pete is cut off by Josh just before being able to make a reference.
Popeye or C-3PO?
Josh recounts how he saw AOTC three times within 24 hours.

Josh: [In Star Wars] You see Han and Leia bicker with each other in the middle of a firefight. And that works really well! So, God forbid they repeat that!
Josh: John Williams, in this scene, is going full John-Williams! Pete: Wait, is he on the belt, too?
