Wow. I just realized that the opening sequence in TPM is even more stupid than I thought. Obi and Qui don’t even disguise the fact that they are Jedi!!! Yet the Neimodians (I am horrified by the thought that I might have spelt that correctly) need to be told by the droid!! They were expecting ambassadors of some sort.
What a mess. Was there a script re-write that just got jumbled up? Like, were Qui and Obi were supposed to be wearing different clothing and they forgot about that on shooting day?
