Originally posted by: stossmoI agree I would also propose to remove the "if only senator amidala were here" nonsense...earlier in the movie she is the leader of the opposition with regard to the military creation act, lets not pretend that just because the droid army was amassing that she would not only change her opinion but be the poster-senator to propose this 'radical amendment'. Then in Sith she still wants the fighting to stop....
OMG I never realized that--I mean of course it's a cheesy line that should be cut out anyway, but that's true it doesn't even make sense for her character. Jesus, sometimes it's hard to catch this crap.
Although I do like the thought of the blood of millions being on Jar Jar's hands because I don't think for myself and have read "Reasons to Hate Attack of the Clones" like a million times--it sort of redeems his character for me. I'd say toss it in. I don't think it ruins the suspense at the arena. Sidious says "I'll be making a clone army" not "I'm sending out a clone army to save some jedi and senator Amidala."
I wonder how he later explained to the senate how he got a clone army so fast...I wonder why nobody asked.
