Summary
The dessert is some kind of fruit. Padmé picks up her fork and goes to spear a piece, but it moves!
Guests
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.
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).
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 six 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.
- Matt: (as tough, Brooklyneese Lucas) "The fruity stuff. Get the fruity stuff in dere."
