AOTC Chapter 11: Dex's Diner DISCUSSION

Nice scene. I don't know who said it, but I agree that Ewan makes the scene work with his acting. He also did a great job on the Kamino scenes, and there was nothing there.

I don't understand why some ppl are complaining about the diner looking too "earthy". I thought that that's made the OT work: it all had some earth-like feel too it. To me, that's the same with Dex's Diner. I just love the entire set: it's so detailed.

 

I thought the scene worked great as a transition scene. I really liked how Obi was relaxed w/ an old friend of his. I must agree that Dex's final words really make you wonder about the Kaminoians, and to lesser extent Dex himself.

As far as people disagreeing w/ the diner scene, is the cafeteria scene later in the movie bad as it is too realistic. What about cantina scene in anh, is that too, too our-worldy?

What pop cultural phenomena are represented by the Cantina scene or cafeteria scene?

 

I loved this scene, because you could easily imagine Obi Wan "unwinding" after a busy day at the Jedi Temple by hanging out and chatting up the waitresses and reminiscing with Dex. It's a good, laid back scene that really shows a Jedi Knight in his "off-hours" environment.

As to the mission of IDing the dart, Dex is great as the surly know-it-all pilot/pirate/sea captain/etc that is so common in 30s-40s flicks. He's been around, seen a lot and has "street smarts" - not book smarts.

The only thing I didn't like was the silly drink name "Jawa Juice." But, this scene makes a nice counterpoint to the seamy nightclub full of sexy women and deathsticks, which is a realm of the night.

When Dex says that "pocketbook" line - think of wealth, power - only someone like that could have ordered those clones. Who is so wealthy and so powerful? (cue foreshadowing)

A great scene.

chatting up waitresses? that sounds so unObi-Wan it;s funny!

that's something Anakin would do!

 

I too thought the scene really brought home that this is where Obi-Wan hangs out a lot.
Well maybe. The waitress droid didn't seem to recognize him, but she could've been new
I love how the scene starts with the waitress droid

A great scene with perfect CGI. From what I've heard they originally had a different lighting/ weather condition outside but it was changed later on. I believe the From Puppets to Pixels DVD documentairy still shows the original shot near the end of it.
I really don't mind it looking to World based as almost everything is possible in SW. I was really surprised by the naughty dialogue.

 

What I dont get is why the visual dictionary has alot on Hermione when she is in the movie for like 1 second

 

Why has this thread been ressurrected from the dark depths of the forum?

 

Rech's been acting weird--he bumped up the Ch.8 discussion thread even though his only words were "i didn't like this scene".

 

It was a fun scene not the best but fun. I enjoyed it for what it was. Taking us from point A to point B.

 

This is an interesting scene and wanted to discuss it
