Obi-Wan Kenobi (to Anakin): Why do I get the feeling you'll be the death of me?

Mistakes

When Mace is fighting Jango in the arena, the bull charges, then again, when Jango shoots him he then turns around to face Mace. The continuity from right to left is switched, he should not have had to turn around. See more...

Trivia

The tower where Dooku meets Sidious at the end of the movie is obviously incomplete (unfinished parts can be seen). It also looks very much like the Emperor's Citadel, briefly seen in the cutscenes of the Tie Fighter computer game (then, completed). See more...

Entry When Anakin is getting ready to ride off after his mother, you can see a small pile of boxes right next to his shadow that is being cast on the side of the Lars' house. Amidala comes out and we see their shadows, and the boxes have gone. Then when Anakin gets on the hoverbike and rides off, the boxes return. [The boxes are too low to be seen.]
Entry When Padme and the trooper falls out the the ship the trooper lands about 4 feet away from a rock but when you see padme roll down the trooper is almost on top of the rock. [He is not on top of the rock but he looks like he is on top of it because we look at him horizontally.]
Entry In the battle at the Arena in Geonosis, we can see there are a lot of droids who survive the intervention of the clones when the transports leave with the remaining jedis, but a second later, we see R2-D2 and C3PO as the only survivors in the whole arena. Where did the remaining droids go? There was not enough time to evacuate the arena. [The scene we see with C-3PO and R2-D2 takes place several minutes after the department of the gunships. The droids left the arena in pursuit of them, we just don't see it and jump a few minutes in front.]
Entry When the clone finds Padme in the sand, his footprints appear before they're even made. [That's not true. They do seem a little weird because they're digital but they appear the same moment that the trooper's feet touch the ground.]
Entry In the scene where the transport carrying Obi-Wan, Anakin, Amidala and the clone troopers is chasing Dooku, the pilot mentions that the ship is out of missiles. In a close-up shot of Anakin, a pod full of missiles can be seen on the wing of the transport in the background. [He uses that as an excuse. (As he is more than likely 'programmed' not to kill Dooku).]
Entry When Anakin is fighting the geonosis guards in the droid factory, he does a backwards roll to avoid being hit, while doing so he rolls right on one of the molten pieces of metal on the conveyor belt... [No, actually he rolls in between the large squares of steel. This is less visible in the full-frame version of the film, but is easily seen in the proper widescreen edition.]
Entry When Padme, Anakin, Obi-Wan and the clone troopers are following Count Dooku, Dooku's wingmen retreat and fall behind the transport. They fire on the ship, making it hit the ground and throw Padme out. Now either the ships floor behind her does not go all the way to the outside wall of the ship, or she falls out through the wall. If you watch her closely, she doesn't fall to the camera's left, she falls pretty much straight back from the camera, which would have tossed her into the wall. [This is wrong. If you watch the wide-screen version, freeze frame on the last frame of that shot, you will see that the "wall" is actually the wing of the ship that slopes downward. You will notice the wing-mounted cannon on the left side of the screen. Also, you will notice that sand is visible from the ground below at the bottom of the image.]
Entry In the scene where C-3P0 gets his head switched he gets on the conveyor belt. Before he gets on there is no room for him to get a different head. Then he gets on and there is a big space. Where did that come from? [Look again. As 3PO's body staggers onto the conveyor, it flails with its right arm, knocking one of the existing droids off the conveyor belt and leaving a space. You can hear a crashing sound as the droid falls off.]
Entry When Anakin and Obi Wan hit lightsabers in the area, if you look closely Anakin hits the bottom of Obi Wan's lightsaber. This should have broken it. [He is hitting the chains around Obi-Wan's hands.]
Entry In the scene where Anakin returns to his home planet to find his mother, he goes to talk to his ex-master Watto. After saying his first lines to Watto, which is 'hello' in another language, listen carefully. You can hear someone shout "CUT". [There is indeed a short shout in the background, but it's not obviously "cut" - it could pretty much be any short cry, as could be expected in a market-place environment.]
Entry In the scene where Anakin is fighting Dooku in the hangar, you see that Anakin could have blocked Dooku from cutting off his arm. Instead of blocking Dooku, he straightens his arm so Dooku can cut it off. [Anakin was adjusting aggressively to Dooku's cool and calm fighting style. He was bracing for a "powerhold" (that classic pressing sabers to see who is stronger thing in Star Wars) and was drawing back to swing. Dooku spun in flush and beat him to it. Funny thing is, he took Obi Wan out with the same fake out move minutes before that.]
Entry Right after Anakin rides off on his speeder bike we get to a scene with Obi Wan. When it starts you see Obi Wan just standing there, then he looks around, and then he starts walking. He must have started moving when the crew members said so. [Obi-Wan is standing there looking at the entrance to the Geonosian building. He is obviously looking around the entrance to make sure it is safe for him to enter. Once he has decided to move on, he walks forward naturally. Nothing about his movement suggests that he is trying to act as if he was already walking forward. Further, he is in the shot for several seconds before he begins walking; if the crew was trying to show him already in motion, they would have told him to begin walking as soon as he was visible.]
Entry How does Jango make all his gadgets work? They are not part of his body, and we never see him press any buttons when he does use any gadgets. [The reason you cannot see Jango activate his gadgets is because all of them can be accessed via the helmet in his Mandolorian armor. If you have read the story of Boba Fett in "Tales from Jabbas Palace" you would know this. This way if a Mandolorian warrior has his hands tied he can always find a way to escape.]
Entry When Anakin and Obi Wan run out of the gunship to the hanger with Dooku you see a clonetrooper follow them and then when the shot chages you see no clonetrooper. Then the ship blows up. [If you watch the corner of the bridge as the troop ship begins to leave, one geonosian ship flies by and destroys the troop ship, and then the other geonosian ship flies by and shoots the Clone Trooper on the bridge, and he falls off. You may also notice that the Clone Trooper is shooting at the approching droid ships before he is killed, and fires once more as he is falling.]
Entry In the final battle, Mace Windu has climbed aboard Yoda's open ship and turns around to deflect the blaster shots with his lightsaber. However, one of the shots slips through and would have hit him right in the chest. About 10 centimeters from his body, the red shot mysteriously vanishes... Obviously an interaction between live character and CGI that went wrong. [The only one he doesn't block is closer to the camera than him - we see it impact on the side of the ship.]
Entry Toward the end of the movie, there are plans for a weapon that the "republic must not know we are building". It looks like the Death Star from Episode 4. However, according to many sources, the Death Star was made under the rule of the Empire. Palpatine personally oversaw its design, which was made by the same man that later designed 2 other super-weapons. How can it be that such a weapon is thought about when the person that designed the planet destroying super-laser, and the housing for it (The Death-Star itself) isn't even a teenager yet? [The only absolute rock hard definite sources are the films - George Lucas has publicy stated that. The books are by and large right, but the films take priority if ever there's a conflict. Therefore what we see in the films is "fact", so to speak, and the books are fiction, regardless of the order they were produced.]
Entry All clones should look like Jango. However, in one shot during Kenobi's visit in the clone-factory they look like Padmé's guard captain. [Purely coincidental. The young troopers are played by Bodie Taylor, and the captain is played by Jay Laga'aia. Bear in mind that the clones we see are both younger than Jango and haven't been in battle before].
Entry In the scene where Anakin is in Padme's bedroom and he is whining about Obi Wan, he is floating a ball with the force. The ball's reflection shows in the window, but you cant see Anakin's reflection at all, [The ball's reflection shows more obviously because it is closer to the window where it was originally placed. As Anakin pulls it to his hand, you can see his hand reflected in the window as well, very faintly. The rest of his body does not show a reflection because he is too far away from the window.]
Entry In the scene when Obi-Wan is being held in captivity on Geonosis and is speaking with Dooku, watch Dooku as he circles Obi-Wan while he talks. At one point after a shot of Obi-Wan, a shot of Dooku has his hands clasped across his midsection, but also notice he is amazingly holding the sides of his cloak. Four hands Dooku? You are on the dark side aren't you? [At times Dooku has his right arm lying across his stomach, but while he is doing that, his left hand is at his side. Then after a short while he drops his right arm to his side as well. He never clasps both hands across his middle. ]
Entry During the conversation with supreme chancellor Palpatine at the very begining of the film, he states that he will not let this Republic which has stood for a thousand YEARS be split in two. This is an error as the Republic has stood for a thousand GENERATIONS (as stated by Obi-wan in episode 4). [Actually, in Episode IV Obi-Wan says "For a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice IN THE OLD REPUBLIC." So the Republic has stood for a thousand generations. However, it is quite possible that Palptine intentionally misspoke, and for two reasons. First, he wants to appear less than competent, as indicated in the Attack of the Clones novel. Appearing ignorant of history makes him look like a foolish politician who is no threat to anyone. The Jedi would not fear him having emergency powers because he appears to be not that bright and they can control him. Secondly, the Sith where wiped out a thousand years ago. To him, the Republic has been a mortal enemy for a thousand years, so that's the number he's fixated on. He is revealing himself to the Jedi as the Sith Lord, and they are too arrogant to realize it.].
