Ahh, gotta love those NaBOOBian women! I'd always heard it was Nubian (and that line supports it), but, honestly, if Naboobian is something that George really came up with, I have to say that it's the most ridiculous-sounding name he's ever made, and that is saying something.

From wiki:

The similar sounding adjective "Nubian" used in the movies to refer to Queen Amidala's ship is cause for some confusion. Nubian refers to the planet Nubia, not to Naboo. The most correct adjective form of Naboo is "Nabooan" based upon an indigenous wild panther known as a "Nabooan tusk-cat".

Who knows if this is correct - it's wiki, after all. I'm guessing the wiki page that used "naboobian" was this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xhonzi

Sadly, though Wookieepedia has an extensive article on Naboo, it doesn't say anything about this subject.

EDIT: Wookeepdiea: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nabooian

EDIT 2: What the hell does this mean (from the above article):

Kaadara developed as a coastal town for the few Nabooan fisherman (not to be confused with nabooian)

I give up.

Considering skyjedi is the one that started this thread, I'm surprised he didn't just take care of it all in one shot and post transcripts of all three films, plus Indy 4 just to be complete.

My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

No way. This project is enough work as it is. I actually started on a Matrix Reloaded script but only got about 30 minutes in before I got sick of it.

Wait, what? I think I misread your post. Cut Indy 4 out?

Too bad Ric wasn't there:

Annie: Now this is podracing!

Ric: No it's not. This is flying a Naboobian fighter against Trade Federation Droid Fighters and Droid Controller Donuts. Podracing is a sport on outer rim planets where large spaceship engines are electro-magnetically tethered to a small pod and raced around Moab, Utah. It's so intense, most muppets die before finishing and some muppets esplodé right there on the starting line. Obstensibly, humans are unable to compete, but if the EU can be believed, almost all victors are in fact human.

Annie: I was speaking figuratively, you 2 meter hairless gorilla!

Ric: I'm not a Gorilla, and I have lots of hair on the back and sides of my head.

Panaka: Remember, folks... Panaka has a full head of hair, a gorgeous smile, and a piratey eye patch. Rock the vote!

Hello new signature! most muppets die before finishing! Classic!

I'm so honored, but in a way I was just quoting Ric Olie.

I'd say it's more akin to putting words in Ric Olie's mouth, but whatevs.

From ROTS, when Obi-Wan is fighting one of Grievous's bodyguards on the bridge, he forces the bodyguard's staff into a railing where a battle droid is standing nearby.

Anakin: Are you an angel?

"An angel. They live on the moons of Iego, I think. They are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They are good and kind, and so pretty they make even the most hardened space pirates cry like small children."

?Anakin Skywalker

Padmé: "Ani? My goodness, you've grown."

Anakin: "So have you. Grown more beautiful, I mean. Well, for – for a senator, I mean."

Anakin: "You are so... beautiful."

Padmé: "It's only because I'm so in love."

Anakin: "No, it's because I'm so in love with you."

Padmé: "So love has blinded you?"

Anakin: "Well, that's not exactly what I meant."

Padmé: "But it's probably true."

"Something wonderful has happened... Ani, I'm pregnant."

I actually somewhat liked this exchange, just because of Anakin's, "Well... erm, um, that's not exactly what I meant." It was lame, but George seemed to almost accept that and was almost tongue in cheek with it (or maybe Hayden just slipped that one by.).
