January 19th, 2016

Jar Jar attempts to snare another bit of food from the bowl with his tongue, but Qui-Gon, in a flash, grabs it between his thumb and forefinger.

Starts with the dinner conversation about exploding slaves; ends with Anakin saying that no one can kill a Jedi.
Another direct quote: (3rd) "How wude [rude]".
- We're up to 8.

Dan has issues with the dialog.
Anakin is very jaded about the fact that he has a bomb in his body.
Jar Jar says "excuse me" after doing the tongue thing. Why, specifically?
- Nobody reacts.
- They leave room for the audience to laugh here.
Jar Jar is here to keep the kids entertained during the talky scenes.
- C-3PO, by contrast, shuts down when Ben and Luke are talking about the Force.
Padmé is just playing with her food. Was this an acting choice or is the actress just bored?
Dan believes that Jar Jar represents what George Lucas must have been like as a child.
- Like a kid with a joke book at his parents' dinner party.
Qui-Gon says Anakin must have Jedi reflexes, then demonstrates Jedi reflexes by catching the tongue.
Ham-fisted foreshadowing.
- Anakin's weird compliment to the Jedi in his house.

Dan: Thank goodness I just happened to be wandering around the neighborhood. Pete: I know traffic is weird around here.
