Corrected entry: In the scene with Anakin on top of Zam's speeder, Zam turns and looks at Anakin on the side of the vehicle. For two seconds, she has the appearance as if she were shot with a toxic dart, before it even occurs.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: After Padme's ship is destroyed, she says that she believes Count Dooku is behind it. Why would the leader of the Separatists assassinate a senator voting against the army of the Republic? In order for her conclusion to make sense, she would have to know that Dooku and Palpatine are working together.
Correction: The Seperatists are obvious candidates to make assassination attempts on prominent Senators like Padme, in order to increase turmoil within the Senate and potentially prompt other star systems to withdraw. She clearly has her reasons to be suspicious of Dooku - just because those reasons are not spelled out in great detail, that doesn't make this a mistake.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the other films after all the text has gone up the screen, the camera scrolls down. But after the text on this film, the camera scrolls up. It is the same as in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Correction: Something that can be seen by anybody watching the film is hardly valid trivia. And this can hardly be unique to those two films.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: At the beginning when Amidala meets with Palpatine and Yoda, two guards are standing in the corners of the room. They're dressed identically to the Imperial Guards from ROTJ - a hint as to what's coming...
Correction: Foreshadowing is a pretty standard story-telling technique that occurs throughout the saga. There's no need to point out every single example of it, particularly as they can readily be seen by anybody watching - that's not what trivia's about.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: After Obi-Wan dives through the window, the next morning as Padme's packing we see from outside and inside shots little robots flying in a replacement sheet of glass and welding it into place. Nice attention to detail, Mr. Lucas...
Correction: Pointing out something that's, frankly, pretty obvious in the film is not valid trivia.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: In the first scene where we see Palpatine in his office, look closely to the design of his chair. It is the same chair Palpatine is sitting in the Death Star in Return of the Jedi but with an extra top. Nice touch of Lucas to show that Palpatine will eventually become the Emperor.
Correction: That's called foreshadowing. Perfectly standard storytelling technique which occurs throughout the saga and certainly doesn't need to have every single example of it pointed out.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: When Obi-Wan and Anakin jump off the gunship in front of where Dooku went in two clones jump off after Obi-Wan and Anakin are off, but where do they go?
Correction: In the following shot, when the Geonosian fighters destroy the gunships, they can also be seen to fire at the landing platform. One of the two clones can be seen falling from the platform - it's fair to assume that the other was also killed.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Anakin and Padme's spaceship approaches Naboo, if you look closely, you can see Hudson Bay and the East Coast of North America under the clouds. The image of Naboo was stock footage of Earth. Also, Geonosis (in a later scene) appears to be stock footage of Jupiter.
Correction: Having checked through the film, I can find no shots where either Naboo or Geonosis bear any significant resemblance to Earth or Jupiter - there is, in fact, no shot of Anakin and Padme's ship approaching Naboo that I can find; the first shot is of their ship landing at the spaceport. And, given Lucas' attention to detail when it comes to effects, it's hardly likely that he would resort to the use of stock footage of a readily identifiable planet, particularly when he already has images of Naboo available from Episode 1.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: Take a look at Obi-Wan's lightsaber. The hilt is exactly the same as it was in The Phantom Menace. ALL hilts are different. If Obi-Wan lost his saber in The Phantom Menace (and believe me, he couldn't get it back after it fell that far) how can he still have the exact same hilt?
Correction: Jedi build their own lightsabres and make their own choices about appearance and so forth - Obi-wan has no reason to change, so he's simply built a new one identical to his previous one.

Correction: Zam is a shapeshifter - what we're seeing there is her natural appearance, not the effect of the dart on her. She shifts briefly during the chase - possibly she needs to focus to keep a particular appearance and lets it slip slightly as she focuses on getting away, then, as she dies, reverts fully to her normal look.
