I Come Before You in Peace

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:40:24

A couple interesting things in this scene: If you look behind Sabé's headdress, the head of the unnamed pilot standing directly behind her is gone and replaced with a tree...but his body is still there.

Secondly, it looks like Jar Jar isn't CGI in this scene because you can see the black shoulder strips of his shirt, which is evident when Ahmed Best is portraying him, but not on the CGI model.

Rewatching the Star Wars Movies Part 1!

and now I notice the little details seeing as I am older!

Damn I hope there do be no typos in this rant I spent so much time and energy on….

So:

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away….

I watched Star Wars the Phantom Menace again- one of my favourite movies of all time! And I realised that I could notice more details than usual and reflect on the meaning of particular scenes this time around!

- Padmé’s first ever entrance proves she is all business, is a fashionista and is a powerful woman who will not let any force of evil ruin innocent people’s lives

- I am so amazed that I am able to tell the difference between Sabé and Padmé now! I really want Keira Knightly to return as Padmé. Perhaps this is far-fetched- but in the Ahsoka series?!

- Otoh Gunga- the long shots of Obi and Qui swimming after Jar Jar towards the glowing Cory is gorgeous- but I wonder- how long did the city take to build? And how did they get all the resources down there? Why are the outside materials not rusting??!

- The way Obi-wan walks with his large robe sleeves makes him look so cute and tiny

- Ric Olié is such a dedicated, skilled pilot- I love how he is like Ani’s first mentor who teaches him the terms of the cockpit

- Obi-wan and his tendency to be like “picked up another pathetic life form” is 😂

- Ani being so respectful to his mumma is so cute. Shmi is so gentle- yet she will be forthright with her opinion and stubborn when she’s needs to protect Ani- she would have been an amazing grandma- and she would have shipped Anakin and Padmé so hard! I can just imagine the flustered, embarrassed 19 or 20-year-old Ani when they head to Tatooine after Anakin’s nightmares and Shmi is sharing embarrassing childhood stories about Anakin to Padmé. And the soft smile that would etch itself on her face when she walks in on Anakin and Padmé snuggled close to each other as they stay a night at the Skywalker-Lars homestead. Yes it just so happened that there were not enough beds so Anakin and Padmé had to share one- both were so nervous yet secretly thrilled to cuddle each other as they fell asleep 😴

- That conversation at the dinner table about how Anakin wants to finish a device to detect the slaving transmitters in the back of slaves’ necks makes me wish he and Padmé lived happily ever after on Naboo. They would go on fun adventures with their many children- Luke, Leia, Mila (after Milaflower), Jinn and another baby on the way, going to the snowy world of Hoth and swimming in the lakes of Naboo. When Anidala would want their hard-earned date week every 2 months or so, they would drop the kids off for 1 week with Sabé and the handmaiden gang (or Obi, Rex and Ahsoka?) so they could have a romantic vacation on Tatooine. But at the same time Anidala were investigating the slave situation and were being updated on the progress Sabé and Tonra had made by shipping freed slaves off world.

- The fluffy beard makes Ki-Ado seem like space Santa is swear

- I just noticed how upset and guilty Padmé appears when she suggests a vote of no confidence for poor, confused Valorum- she wants to immediately aid her struggling people but also feels wrong for ruining the career of confused Valorum

- Like frick off Palpatine he’s all smiling and like “I am going for Chancellor Yipee” and Padmé does not want to hear it! She realises there is more significant issues to worry about- *cough* and a *cough* “our people are dying in labour camps”! Ahah her feminist and stubbornness is shining through like a beacon!

- How soft Padmé’s features are and how gorgeous and intricately detailed her queen outfits are enhance her beauty yet symbolise how young she truly is

- Mace’s head shines so much at night time I swear

- I love how Qui-gon brushes off Obi’s negativity all the time and knows where how to focus his attention on the present and his passiona

- I actual burst out laughing when Ani was like ‘Qui-gon, Sir, I don’t wanna be a problem…”

- The elegant yet purposeful way the handmaidens stride onto the silver ship is so beautiful

- In the scene where Nute Gunray communicates with hologram Palpatine, I only just noticed the beautiful sculptures. These sculptures prove how much the Naboo people value art and express their creativity by surrounding themselves with decorations that have meaning

- Swampy Naboo giving Endor vibes damn

- I adore the bewilderment of Ani, Jar Jar and my Jedi boys when Padmé reveals herself as queen and everyone is like “what the the frick???”

- Maul’s staring into my soul! Ghost Padmé save me from the scary boy

- The strategic mind of Padmé is so inspiring- I love my intelligent gurl. She’s like- “ we make a diversion, we will use pilots to knock out the droid ship and we have Artoo’s strategic plan saved in his data bank—-”

- The fog and creepy bird noises as the Gungans march out onto the fields of Naboo builds some awesome suspense

- The droid army tanks moving sound like airplanes damn

- The handmaidens in battle action and being able to see their intricate hair buns is pretty sweet- I believe Eirtaé is the only blond handmaiden!

- Rest in peace that poor pilot who immediately crashed in the grassy Naboo fields

- ooh! I love how one of the Bravo pilots was a woman! Look at Naboo letting all genders be empowered, go my favourite planet!

- I love them oversized, glowing blueberries Jar Jar is still learning to throw

- Oh my Force! Sith are such dramatic turds I swear 😂 Darth Maul standing there menacingly, slowly lifting his eyes to death glare Obi and Qui-gon, alongside the music is killing me

- Maul flashing his teethies like a dog is hilarious 😆

- Maybe Jar Jar do be a sith… I mean, when his foot got tangled in the wiring of a battle droid and as he clumsily tried to escape the wire snaking around him- he managed to shoot many droids…

- Artoo is like man why the hell I gotta babysit this blond beach boy when I could be destroying the space station in like 2 minutes

- Qui-gon being stabbed brought me on the verge of tears. But I could not help but notice that, in the close up after he was stabbed so cruelly, his eyes sparkled a really deep blue- I never noticed he had sky blue eyes until then damn

-I love how prepared Padmé is with blasters resting in her secret throne compartment

- It was like a Star exploding seeing the Trade Federarion ship go BOOM

- The love in Qui-gon’s eyes as he strokes Obi’s cheek- I MISS HiM YOUR HONOUR

- SASSY PANAKA- “I think you can kiss your Trade franchise goodbye.” gIVes ME LiFE

- My favourite handmaiden outfit is the golden hooded robe after the end of the Invasion of Naboo

- Yoda is so scary when he frustrated DAMN! Agree with you the COUNCIL DOES NOT!!!

- In the funeral scene, I never noticed George Lucas’s little sneaky camera close up. After Mace exclaims- “but which was destroyed- the master or apprentice?” It zooms in on Palpatine’s face and fuzzes out everyone else- Foreshadowing is impeccabile here! Never noticed it when I was younger!

- Mwhaah- I noticed in a scene a few seconds before the movie ends that there was a handmaiden standing behind Obi in a beautiful, silverish, grey cloak. At first I was like- “hey that looks like Sabé!” I then had to skip back to the scene once the credits started rolling- and I took a picture of the face! I think I am right- the face seems to boast the features of Keira Knightly! Take a look for yourself:

Now enjoy some of my favourite moments and some aesthetic gifs from this amazing, underrated, family- feel good movie:

We will begin with incredibly blond and happy Anakin- poor Ani deserved to realise that little Luke, Leia, Jinn, Mila and his other kids looked like mini versions of him and Padmé….

So if you have made it to the end of my very long post….thank you!

Feel free to chat to me in the comments about anything Star Wars and positivity related.

May the force be with us all 🌌💖

Hunger ch 4 Excerpt

okay i know i said i was taking a break (and i did! i got a lot done today) but since i’ll be updating dha kar’ta before hunger this week, i thought i’d throw out a lil bit that i’ve already written. baby anakin is nERD

“Do you have a laser sword? I saw Mr. Qui-Gon’s, I’d give anything to take it apart and look–”

“Goodness, Anakin,” Obi-Wan barks a laugh, “please tell me you haven’t asked Ser Jinn that.”

Anakin scrunches his face, but shakes his head. “No, I didn’t want to bother.”

“It is no small thing for another to hold your lightsaber, you understand?” He catches one of Anakin’s hands and swings it between them. “Hmm, Padmé was telling me about the droid you built back on Tatooine; how would you feel if a random scruffy kid—”

“Hey!”

“Scruffy,” he insists, tugging Anakin forward to push his free hand through his indeed-scruffy hair, making him giggle, “How would you like it if they asked to take C3PO apart?”

“I wouldn’t like that,” Anakin agrees. “They’re special, right? To each person?”

Obi-Wan nods, and tries not to think of the only one he had been allowed to build before leaving the Temple; where do unused lightsabers even go? “Sort of like a friendship; it’s a personal and private weapon.”

“Alright, I won’t ask to take it apart,” he grumbles. “But do you have one?”

He feels Jango’s gaze more than he sees it, feels the implicit question in his concern, and Obi-Wan sends him a quiet wave of reassurance. “No, Anakin, I do not. They are weapons of the Jedi, aren’t they?”

Instead of assuaged, Anakin looks deeply troubled by that, but Obi-Wan can’t quite get a read on his thoughts. “Why aren’t you a Jedi?” he asks softly, Jango sighing but still not interfering.

“That path is not meant to be followed by everyone, just everyone’s is not meant to follow the Queen’s path.” This part doesn’t hurt like it used to, Obi-Wan is content on Naboo, more than content with his family, and perhaps Master Yoda had been right, that his temper would have been his undoing. His knee aches as if in agreement.

A little desperate, Anakin looks between Obi-Wan and Jango quickly, and Obi-Wan can’t fathom what he’s so upset about. “But Mr. Qui-Gon said...”

“I don’t know what Ser Jinn has said,” Obi-Wan immediately interrupts; he’d honestly rather not know what crazy idea Jinn had gotten in his head this time, “but I’m no more a Jedi than Ric Olié is.”

anyways the “let’s punch qui-gon” club meets behind dex’s at 3am, bring enough snacks for everyone

Ralph Brown

After watching “STAR WARS - THE PHANTOM MENACE” today, I just realized that Ralph Brown, the actor who had portrayed Johann Fennhoff a.k.a. Dr Faustus in Season One of “AGENT CARTER”:

. . . also portrayed Queen Amidala’s pilot, Ric Olié in “THE PHANTOM MENACE”:

My New Favorite Star Wars Character:

Captain Obvious a.k.a. Ric Olié.

Seriously the best thing about Star Wars since Admiral "It's A Trap" Ackbar.

Mr. Olié delivers the greatest lines in The Phantom Menace with such excellence, it's quite clear why Lucas didn't include him in Episodes 2 and 3. Olié was just that awesome of a character. He needed to move aside to introduce characters such as Poggle The Lesser and Baron Papanoida.

But seriously, Ric Olié says the most important lines in the movie:

As Tatooine literally fills the viewscreen: "There it is. Tatooine."

As the shield generator on the Queen's ship is hit: "Shield generator's been hit!"

As they approach the city planet called Coruscant: "The entire planet's one big city."

Where would our heroes be without Ric Olié? Well, Anakin turned to the dark side in his absence. Just imagine: "Look over there. Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord and is going to turn you to the dark side, Anakin, thus turning you into the Darth Vader we know and love in Episodes 4, 5, and 6."

Of course, with Ric Olié's ability to state the obvious, it already would have been too late for Anakin...
