Chat corner: 9: Attack of something

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

 

Optional chat prompt

This week’s topic is “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones”. Second movie in the prequel trilogy, little Ani is all grown up and here to give us all a load of second-hand embarrassment! Also, is it just me or does Padmé’s penthouse look like a cross between Art Deco and 90s hotel lobby?

As always, here is The Dark Side post.

It seems they don't get much use, but I think I'll just keep making them - better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them, I'd say.

(Perhaps it's a good sign that nobody feels the need to go trashtalk something, even...)

Yes! Padme’s apt definitely has that Art Deco aesthetic.

I liked the deleted scenes where Padme brings Anakin to her family. So idyllic and sweet, yet very expansive on her back story. Definitely mentioned this before but it makes a very interesting what if? au if Luke or Leia was given to the Naberries to be raised tho hidden in plain sight. Very risky but hey they are family too.

Furthermore, I’m still fond of the legends canon that Leia and Pooja were fellow senator friends, not knowing that they were cousins.

I rewatched the prequels recently and imo this is the weakest one, due to the heterosexuality subplot and the other two having better lightsaber battles. Mostly this is an exercise in missed opportunity for class commentary, since Padmé's refugee disguises are hilariously bad.

For those of you who recall my fic project: it has come back from the beta's! It's 25k long. I think I need to sprinkle in some extra seasoning before I can start posting. Watch these posts for an announcement?

In other news, I have figured out how to make quizzes on uQuiz!
Which SWTOR planet are you? (I) (starters, capitols, and Ilum: 7 planets)
Which SWTOR planet are you? (II) (chapters 1-3: 10 planets)

Both of the quizzes contain places you've probably heard of if you've ever opened a Star Wars (Alderaan, Coruscant), as well as more surprising places that were made up for SWTOR. Please have fun!
