PT Your favorite little moment or detail in the PT? (image heavy)

I love this shot, where Master looks at his apprentice kneeling before the new Master.
Especially in motion, it looks like Sidious knighting Anakin as Sith Lord.




My favourite shots of Anakin from RotS.

 

When Qui-Gon told Obi-wan, "I will do what I must ..." and he buttons up the whole subject with a little nod at him!

 

There’s a blaster shot behind Obi-Wan. This suggests that maybe some Jedi were in the Archives to protect the recordings they had and were met by clone troopers.

 

The Padres have been keeping me very busy, indeed! But my love for STAR WARS remains!!!
So, my absence, of late, has been quite unintentional, believe me. And, in answer to this thread,
my favorite prequel detail is ... you guessed right! ... the casting! The Phantom Menace, especially:

 

I love this image. It is my favorite image of the PT.

 

Gotta be this bad-to-the-bone clone:

 

These are great. My favorites among them are Anakin's anguish so visible on his face while killing the Separatists and the lower right hand corner. The music accompanying the march into the temple gives me goosebumps every time.

 

I just want to highlight this:



- "You're impossibly out numbered."

This little 6 second shot shows the Geonosis battle in quite an unsettling manner, with the Jedi lightsabers truly overwhelmed by these rising alien creatures.

It's funny that people use the "it's so dense" thing as a meme when it's actually totally true, and it raises the quality of the visuals and helps fill out the large world and story being told.

 

3 seats, 2 people, symbolising that Palpatine has isolated Anakin from outside influence...

 

A little fun gag in AOTC.

We are first introduced to Obi-Wan's dislike of flying when driving with Anakin.
"You know I don't like it when you do that."
"Sorry, master. I forgot you don't like flying."
"I don't mind flying, but what you're doing is suicide!"

Obi-Wan denies his dislike of flying to his apprentice, hinting that it's Anakin's fault for making him squeamish.

Of course, we find out, Nope. Obi-Wan just hates it.

"Blast! This is why I hate flying."

 

I love that despite Anakin coming on so strongly, the moment Padmé makes it clear that she's not having it ("I will not give into this.") Anakin immediately stops and backs off. Padmé's reaction is one of surprise, and it seems in that moment she calculated that Anakin is more mature than he had so far appeared.

In fact earlier in the film she already commented that Anakin had "grown up", so clearly this was a pattern she was putting together.

 

Two things:
I love in TPM when Anakin hands Padme the japor snippet and she tells him, "It's beautiful, but I don't need this to remember you by." That's the last we see of it until the final shot of Padme holding it during her funeral.
Not only is it heartbreaking, but the camera is telling us that she kept it for 13 years even though she said she wouldn't need it.

Also, the 3 people Anakin loves most all say the same thing to him the last time he sees them in the PT.

Shmi: I love you. *dies*
Padme: I love you *Obi-Wan appears*
Obi-Wan: I loved you. *Anakin burns*

 

Actually we see the snippet one other time, just after Anakin's first nightmare in ROTS, he highlights it to deflect Padme's questions

 

Oh yes, your right. My bad.

 

I remember when the 2005 CLone Wars Series was released and we got that Episode of Anakins Knightinghood. Anakin let 3PO bring his Padawan braid to Padme who puts it inside a small box which contains also the snippet from Ep I. Loved that Little Detail!

 

This thread is awesome. So much wallpaper!

 

Not necessarily any specific movie moment, but during the production of the ROTS game, they brought in Hayden Christensen to help the game developers get Anakin's moves right. Jon Knoles notes how Hayden adds subtle character building into his fighting style by having him be arrogant about blocking and slouching his shoulders to show he doesn't care about his opponent. Interesting stuff.

 

Dooku: "There are no bounty hunters here that I am aware of, the Geonosians don't trust them."

Obi-Wan: "Well who can blame them, but he is here I can assure you."

Haha, I love that little detail. Obi-Wan's gotta get in that little jab.

 

Interesting how Anakin gets Padmé to come to him out of her fear of his dying.

And they have one of their happiest moments in their lives.


When later in RotS it is in reverse, and much darker.


I can't help but think of Othello and how he asked to be written of as "one who loved not wisely, but too well".




And also, what an infectious laugh Hayden has there.
I'm glad we got to see this side of Anakin. And of the good times he and Padmé had together.

And how the PT progresses from child-like to dark with AotC blending to two.

 

When Obi-Wan says, "It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them!"

This line is very poignant. It makes you realize Obi-Wan doesn't even know why Anakin betrayed him. That only makes it more painful for Obi-Wan. The way Obi-Wan completely breaks down in vulnerability is haunting. Obi-Wan can't rationalize how this happened and he is almost pleading to Anakin to tell him why he killed so many people. For Obi-Wan, it doesn't add up and that uncertainty must hurt worse than knowing why Anakin did what he did.

 

yes that whole scene is heartbreaking and well done, heightened by JW's score.

 

This moment when Anakin and Padme leave for Naboo. Look at how happy they are! And Padme's laugh at that moment is so cute.

Meanwhile Obi-Wan and Panaka are watching them in the background like a pair of worried parents

 

Panaka: “I’d be more worried about her, than him.”
