Spoilers in answer for Crazydog!!!

Yes. Of course there's a lot of them getting killed. You see an entire AT-AT-like vehicle get blown to bits, and in the end, Obi, Anakin and Padmé end up in a Gunship flying alongside another gunship. They see that one get shot out of the sky, and when their ship is hit, Padmé falls out. That scene hurt my eyes, because the sand on the ground has a very deep orange colour.

Does Anakin just show up at the Larrs homestead and get told that the farmers tried attacking the Tuskens or do we get to see any of it?

 

 

 

So Anakin doesn't have any covering on his arm at the end of the movie? It's justa bare droid arm?

 

 

 

How badly was Obi-Wan injured during the Dooku fight?

 

 

 

Padme. How much skin do we get to see? :D

 

 

 

In the book, Anakin and Padme goof off in a field. Like anakin jumps on an animal and pretends to get hurt. Is that in the movie?

 

 

 

Does anyone ever say "Death Star" or is it just recognized that that's what it is?

 

 

 

Jango kills one of the arena animals right?

 

 

 

Besides the back scratches, does Padme get injured further?

 

 

 

Typho. Is he a Panaka wannabe?

 

 

 

I'm sure I'll have more in a few minutes. :rhett:

My goodness. Talk about eagerness.

 

:D

 

ok, to topple Rhetts questions in a row (WARNING, MASSIVE SPOILERS!!!!)

 

 

 

1) Yes. He simply shows up and gets told that that happened. By Cliegg, by the way.

 

2) Yes, it's bare. But you only see the hand coming out from the sleeve.. it looks like a Terminator flexing his fingers...

 

3) First, Dooku hits his arm/hand, then he quikly stabs Obi in the knee... It doesn't look very bad, but he's definitely out of the fight.

 

4) Quite a lot of back-skin. In the 'leather-scene' :D you see...erm...how to put this...a bit of the front in a 'compressed' way.

 

5) Yes. Exactly as you describe here. The beast has a small head, but a MASSIVE behind. It's a funny animal to watch. Anakin already starts laughing when a concerned Padmé turns him around..

 

6) No-one says 'Death Star'...Dooku makes a remark about getting it to his master. You instantly recognize it.

 

7) Yes, Jango kills the Reek with his blaster.

 

8) No, but she falls out of....o wait. other spoiler..

 

9) Pretty much. I thought he was a bit more 'positive', but no real difference altogether.

Oh!

 

 

Much like we saw some hidden little things in TPM, such as ET and the hear/see/say no evil droids, was there anything cool like that that you spotted?

 

 

 

Dexter. Is he a doofus or is he actually kind of cool?

 

 

 

Does Jar Jar really say "Delow Feligates"? :D

 

 

 

Jedi Starfiighter. Like em or love em?

 

 

 

Tusken Children?! He kills two Tusken Children first? :eek: IN HALF?!? :eek: :eek:

 

 

 

Does it show Anakin pick up a boulder and smash it into Tusken tents?

Does Yoda hear Qui Gon calling out when Anakin starts killing the Tuskens?

 

 

 

So we get to see Jedi and Sith holocrons right?

 

 

 

Does Boba take Jangos helmet and blasters?

 

 

 

Do we see any saber throws?

 

 

 

You think Zam's hot too, right? :D

 

 

 

Anakin doesn't say "...a gonzo color..." anymore does he? I hope not...

 

 

 

Did you spot Anthony Daniels in the cantina?

wow...

 

first question-post of Rhett of the two-in-a-row:

 

 

 

1) You see several creatures from Episode 1 making a return, like the creature that crashed in the cave during the pod-race in TPM (remember ? He made that funny sound just before he crashed). That creature is seen during the chase through Coruscant. (there's a creature next to him saying something like 'Jedi poodoo' or something). And you see a Sebulba-like creature in Dexter Jettster's café.. But the biggest surprise for me was that C3PO uses the EXACT same sentence as he did in Episode IV: "He seems to have a message from an Obi Wna Kenobi..."

Really got a kick out of that. As for the rest; haven't seen ET's, but the Senate scene is all but similar to the TPM-one..

 

2) Dexter is kind of cool. He's like a big, BIG but very jovial bartender. Kind of a nice uncle, if you will. I got the impression that Obi knew him really well, judging from the scene.

 

3) If he did, I didn't notice it. During the Senate scene i was 'alien-spotting' and didn't pay that much attention to what was said.. (And Jar Jar can be heard to understand without subtitles...) He does have a rather funny 'practice speech-part' right when Amidala makes him Senator in her place. She stops him short.

:D

 

4) Like 'em. It's leaner than I thought and the way that baby travels through hyperspace has to be seen to be believed...

(Let's say it needs a little help...)

 

5) It's a very fast snippet with the children. He beheads one (the one on his right in the scene, and the other is simply cut down in the same swing, as far as i recall. You see, you don't see him emerging at once... you see the camp, with a Tusken mother looking up bewildered. Right after that you see Anakin at the tent, cutting the children down.

 

6) No. Not at all.

second-in-a-row question-post of Rhett answered here (again SPOILER-GALORE !! WARNING !!)

 

 

 

1) No. Not Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan. He hears that part that made it to one of the trailers (the 'No, Anakin, No !' part...)

 

2) No, we don't. Unless I missed some in the library...

 

3) They only show him kneeling down by the helmet, holding it while sitting on his knees and then keeping it against his forehead, with his eyes closed...

 

4) No, but Anakin throws himself....sort of. It saves...wait. That's another spoiler that i won't tell.

 

5) MASSIVE SPOILER !! No, Zam is a changling. She's not human !! That her disguise !! During the chase you see her briefly looking to the left of the screen in her cockpit, and the left side of her face is suddenly alien-like (very short snippet, that). When Zam's shot by Fett, she/he changes to his/her original form; a lizard-like face with pertruding teeth (little bit like Boles Roor from the pod-race)

 

6) That's one thing i didn't notice. Alas.

 

7) Yes. He turns around right after the confrontation with Zam. No close-ups or anything though.

SPOILER WARNINGS

Leon, thank you for taking the time to answer these questions, I have a few of my own I would like to ask:

 

1. Are Jabba or any of the Hutts mentioned as a reference?

2. Do any Jawas make an appearance :jawa ?

3. Any landmarks mentioned geographically? Such as Jabba's Palace, the Dune Sea, or even the Sarlacc?

 

Much thanks!

answering ProtocolJedi:

 

 

 

1) No.

 

2) Yes. Only in the brief scene where Anakin is looking for his mother. The one showing him the way.. In that scene you only hear music, no conversation (the Duel Of the Fates)

 

3) Well, Watto said something about Lars and then ushered Anakin inside to show him where it is.. Can't remember if he said something like 'Dune Sea' or anything, but if it is mentioned, it must be there.
