Revenge of the Sith. Kinda dull sometimes.  I had a thought watching it last night.

Just imagine this.  Palpy and Anakin are watching the opera. A servant brings Palpy a drink, offers one to Anakin, who is going to refuse but a look from Palpy makes him reconsider and he takes it. They are both having a drink throughout the scene. 

No new dialogue. No new special effects. Just a little bit of business that:

  • reinforces the subtext of the scene, serving as a kind of metaphor
  • give the actors something to do other than stare at eachother.
  • give the audience something to see other than bad greenscreen compositing.

 

I really don't see how a cool and refreshing beverage will enhance this scene.  It's not a beer commercial ya know.
