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. Unfortunate parallels to the Anakin-Padmé firelight romance scene, and the Anakin nightmare scene that followed.
  • 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.
  • Hal: If you're going to accept Ring Theory, you kinda have to go all the way. Alex: Not a good choice of words. Hal: Nope! Certainly not. As soon as I said it, I regretted it. Full force!
  • Pete: He's literally...taking care of his demons. There they are...standing around. <Ghorfas accent> "Hey that guy's got a sword."
  • Pete: Shouldn't have licked that bloody hand that we found outside.
