Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Commentary - Jar Jar's Big Adventure

Miscast Commentary

We celebrate May the 4th with a viewing of their least favourite of the Star Wars Films, Episode II: Attack of the Clones. They discuss Hayden Christensen's upcoming appearance in Obi Wan's new show, why Padme's security officer Captain Panaka bowed out of this movie and Rose Byrne's appearance in the film (Joe said the wrong spot that she appeared but was right about her appearance). Joe reveals the genesis of CG Yoda, which actors in this film continued on through the extended Universe and the fake working title for the film. They talk about this being the final Star Wars movie on VHS in North America. They also discuss Hayden Christensen's early career including a Canadian drama that birthed a number of big careers as well as Hayden's relationship with Star Wars so many years after doing the movies. Joe makes a suggestion to improve the feasability of the relationship between Anakin and Padme by aging him up in the first movie. We give a brief history of Coruscant and look forward to the new Star Wars content, including Star Wars: Detours. Todd continues to be impressed by Joe's ability to identify Star Wars Characters. Joe tries to explain away Anakin's cadence in the film and lists a number of actors who were seen for the role, including some who are no longer with us. Joe reveals the cameos in the cantina scene and the fact that this movie had a cowriter and explains grooming to Todd and compares it to what happens in the movie. They criticize Lucas' work as a writer of romance and Joe shares his experience with cannabis. Joe explains the monk-like rules of the Jedi. They rank this film in the Skywalker Saga and Todd forgets how the clones work. They dig into the romantic scenes in the film. Joe pines for the Star Wars Sound Effect Library and talks about a creature from earlier in the film that can be found in the asteroid field. Todd questions the morality of making clones just to send them to die. Joe fills in the missing story pieces that would have better explained Anakin's journey towards the dark side in this film. The guys have a theory about one of Padme's costumes. Joe discusses the origins of Mace Windu's Purple light saber, both in the story and in real life and points out a subtle, yet gruesome moment of the Jedi battle scene. They connect Dooku and Grand Moff Tarkin through the Hammer Horror universe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCORD - https://discord.gg/a6UEWh9zft PODCAST - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/miscast-commentary/id1145697204 WEBSITE - http://www.miscastcommentary.com/ TWITTER - https://twitter.com/miscastpodcast FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/miscastcommentary TEEPUBLIC - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/miscast-commentary?ref_id=7636 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Joe!
