Notes

Film

  • Wipe to Coruscant apartment complex.
  • First appearance of Hayden Christensen's Anakin.

Podcast

  • Lack of applause shots in AOTC as opposed to in the Original Trilogy.
  • This scene in the elevator was added much later, after the first cut of the film was already complete. It was supposed to establish Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship.
    • The scene is awkward and forced, which is odd because Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor had been acting together for the whole movie - shouldn't they have developed a rapport by now?
  • Jedi fashion.
Rigorous casting process for the Role of Anakin
\ .............1500 actors were chosen who "fit the mold".............. /
\ .......400 face-to-face meetings with casting director...... /
\ ...........100 came back for taped interviews......... /
\ ......30 passed to Lucas and McCallum...... /
\ .........Dialogue and readings.......... /
\ ..5 finalists for screen tests.. /
with Natalie Portman
\ ...2 "champions"... /
Hayden
Christensen
  • Who were some of these other 1499 actors that didn't make the cut? Will Disney be releasing any of this footage? Probably for purchase.
  • Mentioned: You'll be dead!

Meta Minute

  • 27:40 podcast episode length.
  • Anakin was born 41 years BBY, and the events of this movie take place in 22 BBY, so he is 19 years old.
  • On the date this episode first aired, the 20th anniversary of Attack of the Clones (which was first released May 16th, 2002) was precisely 2000 days in the future (just under 5½ years).
