The Strangest Edit in Film History?

[Tolif Espen]

Psst. I haven't spoken to anyone about this. I wondered if anyone else has felt a strange, creepy sensation during this edit:

INTERIOR: SKYWALKER DINNER TABLE. Qui-gon, Jar Jar, Anakin, Padme, and Shmi are discussing their situation.

SHMI
All slaves have transmitters placed inside their bodies somewhere.

ANAKIN
I've been working on a scanner to try and locate them, but no luck.

SHMI
Any attempt to escape...

ANAKIN
...and they blow you up --

(Anakin pounds the table, and the shot cuts to... a closer version of the same shot?)

ANAKIN
...poof!

(Jake Lloyd awkwardly interacts with CGI Jar Jar.)


It's such a strange, strange edit.

some sort of weird Death Star moment maybe???

[jedi12]

I seen that it was a bit strange

[Leda EmBorr]

I didn't make note of that... but I did notice all the different scene transitions in RotS... odd checkerboard fades and diagonal swipes and swirly fades...

[Tolif Espen]

Yessss... I cracked up during Sith. It was like Lucas got the brand new Transitions package from the makers of PowerPoint and thought it would be clever to use ALL of them.

[himiko sabbrawrra]

I must be really blind... I didnt notice anything from them...

[Jaren Valnor]

Yeah, I never caught the transitions.

[Cara Drume]

? ? ? I'm lost...

(BTW, sorry for posting so much...I REALLY want to hit 1000... )

[Drago Lørdist]

see I think it's the scene where anakin explains to padme that he's never won a podrace. quigon in the background walks up behind anakin 3-4 times.
