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

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.

Everyone has their name as their website except Alex.
- Pete has both his "real name" and his podname as dot comes. 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. Parallels the Anakin-Padmé firelight romance scene, and the Anakin nightmare scene that followed.
The big question: Did George Lucas intend this?
Ghorfas diseases/parasites.

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.
