Notes

Film

  • Starts with Ducks landing, and ends with Anakin and Padmé cozy by the fire.
  • Iris transition.
  • Second movie in a row where ducks are shown.
  • First and only appearance of Teckla Minnau.
  • New Padmé outfit (8th): Dinner dress.
  • Anakin's pear-lifting music.

Podcast

  • The wipes as a Star Wars signature. Could other movies do that now?
  • Referenced: That deleted scene where Luke didn't know what a duck was.
  • Callback to Rehtul Minnau, Nathan Hamill's character from The Phantom Menace.
  • What is this fruit? It has the consistency of a baked potato.
  • Anakin regales Padmé with tales of police brutality.
  • Padmé is impressed and in awe of Anakin's trick that rates a zero on the charm scale.
  • Why is this scene in the movie?
    • George Lucas' ideas about how romance works. He probably put far more effort into how the to get the clones made than he did into the romance.
    • The love story could have been told in a montage.
    • Depth to the characters (or lack thereof).
  • Costume talk, especially for Natalie Portman. Say what you will about these movies, the costumes are great.
    • 10 outfits for all of Phantom Menace.
  • Padmé would have plenty of opportunities to get out of spending time alone with creepy Anakin, so on some level she must want to see where this leads.

Meta Minute

  • 22:21 podcast episode length.
  • Rogue One used a single Iris wipe to the closing credits, however, it also used a large number of match cuts to transition to the next scene[1].
  • According to Wookieepedia, the things that we saw in TPM were not ducks but Pelikki (pronounced like pelican). The birds we see here are actual ducks. There is a third aquatic avian species on Naboo called a Quadduck which has four legs for some reason.

Quotes

  • Matt: It's a very pregnant moment. NO PUN INTENDED. <under his breath> She's not pregnant yet.
  • Matt: <Whispering> Space ducks.
  • Pete' <Incredulously> They take a duck and scramble it around?
  • Pete: Jedi are a thing.
