Summary

SHMI'S eyelids flutter - and barely open. They are caked with blood.

Guests

Hal Lublin

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Anakin reassuring his mother that he's here, so she's safe, and ends with her uttering her last and dying in his arms.

Podcast

  • Everyone has their name as their website except Alex.
  • She's definitely not safe; now they're both in danger.
  • Shmi didn't let Anakin know about her whole new family.
  • The weird brain chemistry change that happens when you become a parent that makes you cry at commercials makes this scene ever so slightly compelling.
  • Our favorite and least favorite minutes in all of Star Wars.
  • Creepy suggestive overtones in this scene. Parallels the Anakin-Padmé firelight romance scene, and the Anakin nightmare scene that followed.
  • Ghorfas diseases/parasites.
  • The big question: Did George Lucas intend this?
    • Freudian interpretation of this.
  • The quality of Hayden Christiansen's acting.
    • Problems with the directing.

Meta Minute

  • 31:58 podcast episode length.
  • Good estimate Hal (or should we say Hal 9000?) this episode is the 601st movie minute covered, and the 614th episode overall on the main feed.
  • Despite the ironclad verbal contract that goes along with anything said on a podcast, as of April 2020, Neither Alex nor Pete has appeared on We Got This.
  • There really are parasites that can change personalities and even sort of "mind control" people or animals.

Quotes

  • Pete: ...analyze, scrutinize, and Shmi dies...
  • Alex: LUBLIN!
  • Pete: Podname Amidala.
  • Pete: Shouldn't have licked rust bloody hand that we found outside.
