Obi-Wan gives Anakin a dirty look.

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Obi-Wan warning that they will not exceed their mandate, and ends with Jar Jar figuratively busting with happiness.
  • More sitting and talking.
  • Subtle and effective Jar Jar comedy?
  • The most awkward line of dialogue (so far!):

Podcast

  • TGIF (Tony's glad it's Friday)
  • Darth Jar Jar theory (be on the lookout!)
  • Obi-Wan as a wet towel killing the momentum of the movie. Is he just a lazy employee? Or did the union rep come talk to him about exceeding mandates?
  • Does Obi-Wan realize the "romantic tension" between Padmé and Anakin? He's a terrible wingman.
    • He doesn't want them to be in a relationship because if they got married then he and Anakin couldn't be roommates anymore.
  • Perceived love triangle was cut, but the skeleton remains.
  • We think Anakin is creepy, but does George Lucas think that Anakin is a creep? Whose side are we supposed to be on here?
  • Pete sides with Obi-Wan here because he is a stickler for rules.
  • Anakin is a typical whiny teenager.
  • Padmé said she would go retire so she could escape from Anakin.
  • Jedi are too important for protection.
  • Ring theory: not much so far.

Meta Minute

  • 23:27 podcast episode length.
  • The rotational period of Coruscant is (boringly) 24 standard hours. Day length would of course depend on your latitude on the planet.

  • Little did Alex and Pete suspect but the line: "Investigation is implied in our mandate" would go on to become a beloved quote on the SWMLS and a running joke here on the wiki.

Quotes

  • Pete: ...we analyze, scrutinize, and Captain-Typho's-eyes...
  • Tony: That's T-O-C-O— Pete: ...Bibble
  • Tony: Annie-con is coming here to Phoenix. It's gonna be a big show.
  • Tony: <hologram noises>
  • Pete: We have to go monitor negotiations between Walmart and a planet.
