It is relevant to the present conversation that before eating, Jar-Jar pauses and looks at the audience, as if to assure us that he is about to eat a good meal.

I think I'd find Verstappen more likeable if he was a murderer, so let's hear this idea out.

Having now seen this movie for the crapteenth time, it is interesting the amount of silent characters in the film. The silent Jedi are like the silent gungan council, the silent handmaidens of padme and palpatine, the silent trade federation citizens/ruling class, silent three foot tall robots stacking robot bodies. I think it connects with the sculptures too, like the figurative sculptures all around the naboo capital and then the abstract sculptures in palpatines room. Unspoken presence.

Also interesting: ominous music cue starts with a cut to shmi Skywalker and wipes to Darth maul continuing the music. There's also very quiet kinda playful music before padme joins the squad. Lots of small quiet music.

Movie is full of parents, mentors, and youngsters, and their failure connects with Anakin's absent presumably pilot father, qui-gonn's similarity to him, and the image of sticking a fire sword into a closed steel door. Qui Gonna really screws Watto, and shmi's disappointment is palpable when she finds out Anakin is leaving. Captain Tanaka is like the only responsible adult. Jar Jar communicates very clearly, it's just English is his second language.

some of jar jar's lines suck, but most of them are great. i'm especially a fan of the delivery on "when do you think we ARE going to be in trouble!?" while they're navigating the core.

Sat down and rewatched the last third of TPM

'Twas fun, though it's weird hearing Duel of the Fates chopped up to the point it's nothing like its soundtrack release (the opening chant doesn't even appear until they're fighting on the upper bridge in the reactor room)

Well of course, it's stylish for boss fight themes to get more elaborate and add vocals at later stages of the fight.

Also contrasting how it's really weird and dumb that the Finn vs riot trooper battle doesn't have any music. Doesn't help that whole scene seems to be where it starts with Finn seemingly getting a serious arc and character development being smacked down for him to be comic relief in favour of everyone else.

"Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."
That kind of thing isn't uncommon. Long sections of the pod race, Obi-Wan vs Vader and the death star assault don't have music either.

Yeah, there's a number of sequences in the movies where the sound effects are the music.

I think this is also to set up a contrast for the triumphant arrival of the Resistance, since that's when March of the Resistance kicks in.

A nice little interlude in Count Zero is rural. About half of The Peripheral is rural. Much of Heavy Weather is rural.

quote:

“When I met Luke Skywalker, I offered him his lightsaber and he tossed it away. But the Force doesn’t always make things easy. So you keep trying, that’s all you can do.”

“I came from something evil. Sometimes I still want to run from that. But I have learned there are things stronger than blood and that the smallest light can push back the deepest darkness.”

“I’m Rey, Rey Skywalker.”

“Maybe you’ve heard. I’m all the Jedi. So I’ve got that going for me.”

“Luke Skywalker was my master. So was his sister Leia. And her son, Ben, gave his life for me. I took the Skywalker name to honor them and their legacy.”

“The Force is so much bigger than any creed, any philosophy, anything that can fit in a bunch of books. Master Skywalker taught me that in his first lesson on Ahch-To. I knew right away I’d never forget it. That I’d never be the same.”

“I grew up in the desert and yet every night I dreamt of an island. A tiny dot in an endless sea. I saw it so clearly. But I never imagined it might be real. Real. And waiting for me.”

“Ben was right about letting go of the past. But not about killing it. My task is to make something new. Not by killing the past but by building on all that’s good in it.”

“The early Jedi sought to bind the galaxy’s wounds. They looked at what was broken and saw how to fix it. When I read that I thought, ‘Well, I’m good at that already.’”

“I’ve studied the sacred texts of the Jedi. Do you know what the most important pages are? It’s the blank ones left at the end because those ancient teachers knew the lessons weren’t finished and never could be.”
Oh good, so she'll be doing her own thing to fill in those blank pages rather than repeating what came before, right?
