    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The entire "aggressive negotiations" conversation during the dinner scene between Anakin and Padmé was ad-libbed by Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman at George Lucas' request, due to his not being happy with the romantic dialogue he wrote for that scene.
    • Goofs
      When Ki Adi Mundi first draws his lightsaber in the Arena, it is blue. After Yoda and the clones arrive, his lightsaber is green. Seconds later, when he gets on a ship, his lightsaber is blue again.
    • Quotes

      Obi-Wan: Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?

      Anakin: Don't say that, master. You're the closest thing I have to a father.

    • Crazy credits
      Actors Jerome St. John Blake, Hassani Shapi, Gin Clarke, Khan Bonfils, Michaela Cottrell and Dipika O'Neill Joti are credited for playing the same Jedi Council members as in Episode I, although they did not film any new footage for Episode II. Instead the Jedi Council scene uses recycled footage from Episode I. Many of those parts were re-cast (or in some cases renamed) for Episode II, during the Battle of Geonosis, using Australian actors, but they are not credited.
    • Alternate versions
      The 2011 Blu-ray release introduced a couple of minor editing changes that also carried over to the streaming and UHD versions:
      • When Anakin and Obi-Wan pass through the power coupling during the speeder chase on Coruscant, Obi-Wan now completes his line "Anakin! How many times have I told you to stay away from power couplings?" before the shot of them actually passing through (which originally came before the second part of the line).
      • Right after the lightsaber duel between Yoda and Count Dooku, three shots (a close-up of Anakin on the ground, a wider two-shot of Anakin and Obi-Wan, and a close-up of Yoda) have been moved to before the sequence of Count Dooku escaping the planet. After this sequence, it cuts to the wide shot of Yoda picking up his cane (which originally came directly after his close-up).

    The most underrated star wars movie ever

    The truth is the first time I had watched the movie I wasn't impressed. After rewatches over the years I realised this movie gets so much hate that it didn't deserve. Especially if you compare it to the new movies (episodes 7, 8,9) it is far better in script, character development and battles. Anakin is awesome in this movie and makes you feel totally familiar with yourself the way he acts following your heart instead of cold rules.
