Notes

Film

  • Starts with Qui-Gon describing Anakin's Jedi traits.
  • Debut of Kitster and Wald.
  • The rest of the 'Anakin gang'
    • Kitster Chanchani Banai played by Dhruv Chanchani.
  • Fully CG scene.

Podcast

  • Qui-Gon's salesman routine.
    • Whatever Shmi said, Qui-Gon would have attributed it as a Jedi trait.
  • Pete attempts to explain the virgin conception without invoking the Force.
  • Change from shooting script to final cut: "There was no father...that I know of."
  • Listener project: Create an animation of Jar Jar carrying an armful of sunglasses, and then have him trip and have one pair land on Shmi's face as she delivers the above line.
  • Reminder, up until quite late into the process Anakin was older (around 12).
    • Qui-Gon's excuse for not training him was that he was too old.
      • This time it does not count as a direct quote.
    • "Organic plug" for starwarsminute.com/amazon
  • Anakin's origins (according to the former EU).
    • Darths Sidious and Plagueis didn't know (and still don't at this point in the story) that the Force had created Anakin. Sort of like when you flip a switch that seems to do nothing, but it turns off the lights in another room.
  • Do we like the virgin birth angle?
    • It's heavy-handed
    • It might make more sense to have Anakin's father have been killed or run off when Anakin was young.
  • There are only four kids in the script, but on screen there are five.
  • Referenced: Scut Farkus from Seinfeld.
  • Many years from now, Han and Leia visit Tatooine and meet all of Anakin's old friends[1].
  • Referenced: the Greedo deleted scene, "Coming Up" by Paul McCartney (Wrong show).
    • Why did they cut this? Not that we're complaining.
  • Mentioned: From a certain point of view.
  • Shmi seems awfully open about there not being any father. Has Shmi told anyone else? What story did she use?

Meta Minute

  • 20:42 podcast episode length.
  • Ad-read: starwarsminute.com/merch
  • Tony plugs his podcast U Two Talkin' U2 2 Me Too? Yes. about another podcast: U Talkin' U2 To Me?.
  • For a list of mythological virgin births, see Wikipedia:Miraculous_births, and for an article on real biological "virgin birth" see Wikipedia:Parthenogenesis.
  • The guys were correct, Yoda was accusing Luke of being reckless, and Obi-Wan reminds him that he was too.
