Attack of the Clones: Padmé the Ventriloquist

[EazyEVM]

Hi there,

I have seen Attack of the Clones many times in standard definition and I am about halfway through it in HD on Blu-ray. It looks amazing!

However, one slight drawback to HD that I have noticed in several of my favorite movies is that sometimes the image is too clear. What I mean is that I start to notice flaws and bloopers that I had never noticed before. It doesn't ruin the movie for me, but it is a noticeable (albeit minor) annoyance.

Anyway, one thing I just noticed in Attack of the Clones is that when Anakin and Padmé are sitting in the field talking about the boy she used to have a crush on, Anakin says, "Whatever happened to him?" Then Padmé replies, "I went into public service. He went on to become an artist." When she says, "I went into public service" I swear her lips do not align with what she is saying. What I would like is for someone out there a whole lot sharper than me to venture a guess as to what she really said. My humble guess is that she really said, "I went into public work." If anyone out there would like to contribute I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and may the force be with you. hehehe

bro. i think the original line is "then i went on to be QUEEN."

i have the dvd of ep II and i remember her saying that. also, i kept rewinding it and it def looks like she says queen.

I just rewound it a couple of times and I completely AGREE! "Queen" it is. Thanks, homie!

no prob, brosef!

i really wish he would quit F'ing w/ our movies!
and if you watch ep I during padme's speech to the gungans, it looks a little messed up too.
it's kind of like her voice is a milisecond earlier than her mouth or vice versa. it just doesn't look right.

and as far as the bluray being TOO GOOD of quality: yes i def agree. watch the end of the utupau scenes, literally right before order 66 is issued. the whole scene between cody and obi-wan just looks so cg'ed it's unreal! i feel like im watching a cartoon.
i really hope the original trilogy looks better.

This is an inconsistency that is expected of certain films. The scenes which introduced Padme´s family were also removed, so it´s plausible that hasty rewrites were made. Sometimes films in post production are hastily finished at certain points.

what are you talking about bro?

It was the movies that were cloned, the attack was on our humanity.
