    • Chris thinks the whole thing is garbage and a mistake.
  • Coruscant is too clean and polished to be in the used universe of Star Wars.
    • BUT, this is the "President's landing platform", which means it should be even shinier.
  • Terrence Stamp (Valorum) is the highest-ranking Superman II crossover to date.
    • Compared to, say, Gold Leader.
    • He was totally underused in this film, but then taking big actors and wasting them in tiny roles is kind of a Star Wars thing.
    • Referenced: Star Trek: Generations.
  • Palpatine || Trump.
  • "Sorbet" is still standing in for Padmé.
  • Finis (Valorum), Sheev (Palpatine), and Wilhuff (Tarkin) were probably roommates and part of a secret society like the Skull and Bones at Yale. They probably went on secret retreats for movers and shakers.
  • Scene is shot from Anakin's POV. Was this intentional?
