Star Wars/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* I realized the title ''The Phantom Menace'' is brilliant. It refers not only to the Sith, who are returning unbeknownst to the Jedi, and also to Anakin! Anakin is, or will be, a great threat to the Jedi, but nobody knows it yet!

** You may be right, though I've always thought it to refer, in all likelihood, to the opening dialogue:

"It's not about the mission, master: it's something...elsewhere...elusive...." }}

*** But those things could both be the same thing! The "something" ''could be'' the Sith and/or Anakin! That's how I always saw it, anyway?

* I thought Anakin's Force-choking Padme was done perfectly. Everybody knows since Anakin turns to the Dark Side, he'll Force-choke someone for the first time. But who? Obi-Wan? [[The Scrappy|Jar Jar]]? Nope, it was Padme. Anakin's love, and his moral anchor. The only one who was stopping Anakin from completely slipping into darkness. It definitely plays into the perspective that Darth Vader is a damned Anakin Skywalker, and every time we see him choke someone in the OT, he's reliving that tragic moment where he lost his love. - [[Tropers/Premonition 45|Premonition 45]]

** And illustrating that point of reliving that moment is this scene in ''[[A New Hope]]'':

(''Vader raises his hand and starts Force-choking Motti'')<br />

'''Vader:''' I find your lack of faith disturbing. }}
