George Lucas wanted the character to be CG, though. Plus, when Michael Jackson expressed interest in the role, he wanted to wear prosthetic makeup.

[@Dakblasta]

Where does that info come from?

[@dbv8600]

There is actually intentional lore behind the tech in this movie looking better than the originals. This is a golden era for industry and the Jedi work closely with the government so they got a lot of funding. But the original movies took place in a dark time when the Empire was opressing people and stripping planets of the resources mostly to build the Death Star. So the citizens were mostly using old used equipment and the rebels had no official government backing them so they were on a strict budget and got used ships. R2 himself is a great example he is actually new in these movies but in the originals he had a lot of ware and tear with several of his gadgets being broken. Towards the begining of the 1st movie Luke was actually fixing up R2 and said "it looks like you have seen a lot of action".

[@jeremyremo1]

Trivia: when it came to the creation of Darth Maul, George Lucas instructed the design team to come up with their absolute worst nightmare and personify it. They came up with something so absolutely ghastly that it actually frightened George, and he then told them to come up with their 2nd worst nightmare which resulted in the Darth Maul that actually appears in the film.

[@timidwolf]

The idea of the original trilogy was that it was in a "used universe", new stuff wasn't easy to get hold of in a war. During the prequels, innovation and production were more prevalent, so things seem newer.

[@benschultz1784]

In the song "Duel of the Fates," the chorus is an ancient Welsh battle poem translated into Sanskrit. Yoda was originally a puppet in this film as well. However, it looked nothing like the ones from Eps. V-VI. In 2012, for the Blu-Ray release, Yoda was redone as a CG creature to match the later 2 Prequels. Darth Maul's lightsaber is called a saber-staff and works more like a quarterstaff (which Ray Park is a qualified master of) than a double-ended sword.

Nanaki (Red XIII in FF7) is an anagram for Anakin. Red XIII is also a reference to the Red Squadren in the first Star Wars movie. They were numbered 1-12 and included pilots like Luke, Biggs, & Wedge.

Darth Maul is played by Glasgow, Scotland, UK born actor Ray Park. He is also a gymnast and martial arts competitor, specializing in Shaolin Kung-fu, which added significantly to his Jedi abilities in the movie. You can also see some of his skills in X-Men (2000) where he plays Toad.

The film isn't QUITE over, until you get to the very end of the closing credits: At the very end of the closing credits of 'Episode I,' you can hear Darth Vader breathing. •••• From comments she makes, Suzy seems to genuinely have no clue as to the relation between the Anakin we're introduced to, and "Obi-Wan's (other) pupil who turns to evil." ...She asks, "have we met Anakin in the prior trilogy?" That making-no-connection, is absolutely unique among reactors who start the prequel trilogy, having already watched the original trilogy. ...One of the things I watch the reactions for, is to see the moment of realization on the reactor's face, when they hear, "and my name is Anakin," and they make ••THAT•• connection. Did Suzy eventually make the connection at a later point while watching the film, and I missed it?

[@MattMajcan]

it really blows my mind that they called him skywalker multiple times and she didnt notice anything

[@orphanedhanyou]

She talks about suspecting something then said things like "yes we will" when Palpatine says we will watch Anakin's career. They commented she realized but didn't mention it in this or the full length cut as a "big revelation".

[@dbv8600]

As much as I love Yoda I was disappointed with how harshly he was judging a kid in this situation. And while I still say he was too harsh I recently realized another side/ meaning to what Yoda was saying about Aniken. You could argue that any kid in his situation would be scared but at the same time that kind of supports Yoda's point. Yoda was concerned that the boy had too much childhood trama and it was unwise to trust someone with so much trama with too much power. That said even though I am now more understanding with Yoda's point of view he still didn't need to say that to his face.

[@Iamsome61]

We literally tuned in to see her reaction to the name Anakin. And then the movie make sure in case you missed it to call him Skywalker three times during the pod race. It’s incredibly disappointing. I wonder what’s going on in her head. She doesn’t seem to be the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

[@Iamsome61]

If they cut her reaction, extremely poor editing to put it mildly.

[@orphanedhanyou]

Hopefully you'll see by the end why Amidala give off a more controlled, baseline demeanor. 1) it may be Nubian culture 2) it helps her hide when a decoy is in her place 3) it helps make it harder for others to read her & guess what she is thinking or planning

Master Jedi distinguishes whether she is addressing Qui-Gon or his Padawan/Apprentice Jedi.

So many hated the idea is a physical scientific connection to the force via midichlorians but I always liked it. It just shows that the force truly is living within them.

Nobody suspects Jar-Jar is a Sith. He's way too good with his "accidental" actions, and supports Palpatine in his plans. Queen Amidala has a huge collection of fancy outfits, but we don't see any luggage. It's obviously Time Lord science. 🙂 We know Palpatine is behind almost everything, and willing to use cloning technology. So my theory is he implanted *his* clone, possibly modified for a high midichlorian count, into Shmi without her knowledge. This explains both the "virgin" birth, and why he "takes great interest in his career" and behaves like a father figure to Anakin. This also explains the affinity between Ben Solo and Rey. They are related, just like Luke and Leia were.

Officers who went to MIT and Stanford told me it is hard, compared to going to MIT or Stanford! And I was enlisted; both officers and enlisted have to learn the same things to become qualified in submarines. You have one year to learn, while doing a very stressful job, and you have to do a two hour interview at the end, where they can ask you anything from the weight of the diesel backup engine to what type of nuclear fuel is used! And of course how to fight fires etc. (Stanford is number 2 in world behind Oxford, going by academic reputation.

Here we go, prequel trilogy time! When the prequels first came out, the reception was pretty mixed (although I always enjoyed it); but it's gained a better appreciation, over the years. Part of it is due to Clone Wars fleshing out the story; giving people a better understanding of what George Lucas intended with the story. Comedically though, another reason it's gained more appreciation is due to the negative backlash against the sequel trilogy; and disney's treatment of Star Wars, in general.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan is one of the best things about the prequels. He is everything that you would expect in Obi Wan, just younger. Even his mannerisms and speech you can tell he really studied Alec Guiness (the older Obi Wan). This prequel series is as much about Obi as Anakin imo. Also super young Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley play the Queen and her handmaiden :)
