Summary
SHMI'S eyelids flutter - and barely open. They are caked with blood.
Guests
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.
- Pete has both his "real name" and his podname as dot coms. Mentioned: The Godfather and the connection between oranges and death .
- She's definitely not safe; now they're both in danger.
- Shmi didn't let Anakin know about her whole new family.
- Referenced: Ben is a killer.
- 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.
- Pete's is minute 110 of Star Wars.
- Hal's podcast "We Got This with Mark and Hal".
- Creepy suggestive overtones in this scene. Unfortunate parallels to 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 mess.
- 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 comes 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.
- Hal: (as Anakin)
So, you didn't tell me About your new husband.
Alex: My step-dad.
Hal:
I met my brother and his girlfriend. What's that about? Don't you dare die on me! You could've written me a letter once you were free. I didn't even know about this. I'm here getting this rat tail in space. You're starting a whole new family. Guess you don't need old Anakin anymore 'cause you g— you got Owen. Owen *scoffs* whatever [...] He'll probably just get killed by some stormtroopers one day. See you later!
- Alex: ...my face is clenching in horror.
- Pete: Shouldn't have licked that bloody hand that we found outside.
