I guess that scene is one step away from Padme impaling herself on Anakin's horn. I've certainly had dreams about girls falling in my lap from great heights.
I have to say, I'm glad I saw the theatrical release of AOTC when I was a teenager.

I like my free speech, but when it comes to the n-word I don't know why anyone would want to use it (including black people) because it is such an ugly word. Cant say it ever bothered me; a versus er, at least, as the former comes with a certain tradition of scrappy empowerment. It can still be used in poor taste or with a deficit in artfulness but, where so, the criticism then is towards such context, not the word itself. I don't even think Nick was being inappropriate necessarily. Then again, I'm not exactly a "conscious" guy that way so maybe my judgment on the matter is obsolete. Probably is. Well, the frumpily-attired teacher in the video clip gives us another variant: "I put the 'h' on it to emphasise it's NIGGAHHHH.""You know, nigga. Nigga this. Nigga. Nigga, please. Nigga! Can, eh, you know... Can you lend a nigga a pencil?" (I always lose it at that part). Oh, this is some seriously funny shit. You can't take anything too seriously in this world. Which is what makes all the tone policing on the political left so pretentious and pathetic. LMAO. He's just our mythologically-astute, Joe-Campbell-loving, straight-shooting hell-raiser. Maybe it even tastes like gelato. Padme's Cushioned Pussy.

I have to say, I'm glad I saw the theatrical release of AOTC when I was a teenager. Padme Amidaaaaaaaarrrrrrghla. Played by Splattery Portman. And she nearly impales herself on the horn of a randy bull straight after jumping down from an erect phallus. AOTC has got to be GL's most sexually suggestive movie. Of all the SW ones, anyway. I was a teenager at the time, too. Nineteen. The same in-universe age as Anakin. The perfect time to understand exactly what Anakin was feeling around Padme. |

I hear she requests this stuff in her hotel rooms.  ![]() So, probably a bit minty. |

In case some of you were also curious to know whether Gary Oldman was truly set to voice General Grievious back in 2005 and might have missed the news. It turns out this rumour was true:Makes me wonder whether there is also a piece of truth to the other rumour of Tom Stoppard doing some script work on ROTS... |

HOLY SHIT! Now I like Kanye! (16:30) "I mean, Star Wars is my college. I spent way more hours in Star Wars than I spent in college."
Title: Ye FKA Kanye West: Music & Fashion Icon | Alo Mind Full Podcast Channel: Alo Yoga Uploaded: 16 Sept 2022 His fuller comment: ( 16:22) "I can have a tendency to just be, like, paranoid of robots, but it's a way that we have to exist. I mean, Star Wars is my college. You know, I spent way more hours in Star Wars than I spent in college. And when I see the way those robots are working in the factory, I walk through that space and know that, in the same way we have a position and influence now, ten years from now, twenty years from now, we'll have a position and influence. And some of the people that are very influential now will still be very influential then, but the world will be a lot more like all the ideas that George Lucas channelled in Star Wars. He was channelling, like...How do you invent Pixar? That's, like, people...That's a lesser known thing that George Lucas went and put people together to invent Pixar." |

Kanye mentioned being a prequel fan during his Joe Rogan podcast. That's right. I realised after I posted that he'd talked about them positively somewhere else, but I couldn't bring the where/when to mind. Pretty cool. I guess it takes a slightly loopy guy like Kanye to earnestly appreciate the prequels where so many continue to put them down or treat them like a problem. |

I think the story of Anakin speaks to his egotism.

I am not deeply familiar with Kanye, but the fact he embraced Trump suggests he EPICALLY missed the point of the Prequels. Like Sidious, Trump is a sorcerer who enchanted the people.

Well Jordan, Lucas is a self-described Methodist-Buddhist. So, you're half right.

Things don't seem to make sense. Sometimes I see things get left out, and...they don't fit. People don't seem to see them. Or they don't know what to do. Sometimes I-Sometimes a little-a little adjustment-can make all the difference. I wanna do the right thing. I wanna go back. I-I-I can s-I can start again. I can...change. I can-I can help. I just need a-need to rest up for a little while.  |

Well Jordan, Lucas is a self-described Methodist-Buddhist. So, you're half right. That's basically Jordan's views on almost everything in a nutshell. Here, I think he's projecting his amorphous Christian existentialism onto Star Wars/Lucas, missing out on some of the other core ingredients. There are, indeed, both strong Christian and strong Buddhist elements in the series. Star Wars, in fact, owes a lot of its good vs. evil paradigm to Manichaeism, which was a mixture of Gnostic Christianity, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism (and which the Roman/Christian Empire did much to wipe out). But, to JP's credit, he at least takes the concept of Star Wars seriously. So often, intellectuals look at the series with condescension. Not Jordan. He understands its power and its appeal, alright. |

Yeah. The thing is, Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on archetypal narrative/myth. (Christians LOVE to claim monopolies on things)
I'm gonna drop some Jung in here for good measure:
"The living spirit grows and even outgrows its earlier forms of expression; it freely chooses the men in whom it lives and who proclaim it. This living spirit is eternally renewed and pursues its goal in manifold and inconceivable ways throughout the history of mankind. Measured against it, the names and forms which men have given it mean little enough; they are only the changing leaves and blossoms on the stem of the eternal tree." - The final paragraph of Modern Man in Search of a Soul
So...it would be more accurate to say that Star Wars is religion for atheist nerds.
