During Episode 2, When Clones Attack!

Episode 2: Attack of the Clones

[doubleppk]

[So Fujiko might be the only one who likes this one. BWAH! It's so touching and sad! Especially when you know how fucking doomed everyone in it is! Curse you Lucas for doing them weird and out of order! Bwaaaah ;; So someone might catch her hiding the wibbles near the end.]

[redjacketthief]

[Lupin, on the other hand, hasn't seen any of the prequel trilogy before this. Malnosso tricks, time flows, yadda yadda--it changes nothing. Lupin was watching this with a clearer perspective than the previous one.

He's adapted to the effects, more likely than not. So shiney~]

So, how do you like them? This one, last one--these [in reference to the prequel trilogy in and of itself.]

[doubleppk]

[Neither has Fujiko. The first three (4-6) were the only ones she was familiar with; and none of the books.]

Mm. Good. [Although she's a little indifferent to the first one. What was Qui-Gon's deal anyway? Couldn't he see Anakin was obviously trouble? And if it was such a big thing, why didn't the Empire take over Tattooine? Or were the Hutts that talented as mob bosses? Seemed silly. Still, the love story grips her. Of course.] I like the monsters. And um Kamino. That's why Leia said Luke was too short to be a storm trooper later, right? [CLONES. And um. Spoilers :| Cover your ears eavesdroppers!]

[redjacketthief]

[Maybe it was because people want to believe that something good can come out of any situation? He wasn't a Jedi, and certainly not one who promoted the philosophy if the Unifying Force. He wouldn't know.]

Yep. Clones. They do resemble Storm Troopers, don't they? It probably is why Luke is too short to be a Trooper.

[doubleppk]

Chibi Boba Fett is just weird though.

[And she would totally adopt him.]

[redjacketthief]

Chibi anything is wierd~

At least its not an army of Ewoks! That'd be too much!

Dem Clones...

[thefinaljedi]

[During the first portion of the film, Luke remains fairly quiet, up to the introduction of Jango Fett and the Clone Army. When the Mandalorian Mercenary calls out for his cloned "son," the Jedi cannot help but gasp. The significance of WHO that innocent looking child would grow up to be was not lost on him. Boba Fett, the greatest mercenary in the Galaxy, eternal nemesis of his best friend, and one of the few men who could stand before Battlemaster Katarn and live...]

Boba Fett...is a CLONE? By the Force...I had no idea...

[redjacketthief]

[Boba Fett? WHERE?]

Whoda thunk it, right? So strange~

[doubleppk]

Yeah! Weird right?

[Fujiko didn't see that one coming either!]

[fleurdesel]

It does make one wonder about how his temperament may or may not have differed from Jango's.

[thefinaljedi]

Judging by the film, I'd say it isn't too far off. Though, he seems to lack his father's sense of duty. After all, what soldier would turn his back on his military?

[fleurdesel]

One that was paid enough, in one way or another. Most people have a price. [Even her. Though that was not something she wishes to think about at the moment.]

[thefinaljedi]

Yet, the film claims he is Mandalorian. They...are not like most people.

OKAY FINE I'LL GET TO IT I GUESS.

[averybadfeeling]

[The blaring music starts, and Obi-Wan is sitting a bit more stiffly, a bit of space between himself and Adele. The emotional indulgence was a weakness, but taking comfort in Adele like that was simply foolish.

And again, the music startled him. It seemed a touch formulaic, this introductory sequence.

He shows little reaction, up until he and the teenage Anakin appear. Then, he...

He might actually be... embarrassed?]

BOUT DAMN TIME JEEZE

[fleurdesel]

[Adele was somewhat oblivious to the distance. Gambit had quit poking her in the side after she makes a very detailed and thorough threat on his facial hair after the first movie ended. Ben's discomfort was lost on her for the moment, focused as she was with keeping one eye on Gambit to make certain that he wouldn't be poking her.

And then. Ben. With...

She looks at the screen, then turns to Ben. Back to the screen for a longer moment, then back to him.]

...

YOU'RE SO GREAT WHY DON'T YOU DO IT THEN. >:C

[averybadfeeling]

[Obi-Wan glances at her, then glances at the screen. He sighs, and makes a little gesture. Go ahead, get it out of your system.]

I WAS AT WORK AND COULDN'T! ALSO DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WERE DONE WITH THE LAST THREAD!

[fleurdesel]

...Ben. [Soft. Flat. Utterly devoid of any emotion.] What. What did. What did you do to your hair?

[She said it, and she broke, burying her face in her hands to muffle soft, helpless giggles.]

BAH. EXCUSES.

[averybadfeeling]

[Anakin had at least respected him enough never to comment. At the time. Ah, well.]

"I had tried, at various points throughout my young adulthood, to grow my hair longer in honor of Qui-Gon. Since the result typically turned out, well, thus-"

[He nods to the screen]

"I began wearing my hair like this instead."

please don't shave the eyebrows, adele. ;_;

[kineticcajun]

[Gambit is definitely starting to near the end of his Sitting Still capability. It's a small wonder he's made it this far. But now the ever-increasing need to annoy is becoming more noticeable, and so, it's time to poke Adele again.

This time, his sense of Horrible Timing dictates that the best time for the poke is dead in the center of a fight scene.

Pillows, blankets, and distance cannot save you, Adele!]

Only if he wakes up before then. >.>

[fleurdesel]

[This film was terrible for an acrophobe, even one that was medicated. Every long shot of heights, every car without straps, every jump, every fall had Adele twitching and huddling deeper into her blanket cocoon. Just. Focus on the music, and when the fight on Kamino began with Jango Fett she was ready to look away from the screen entirely, Ben survives, she knows this, but hanging from a thread over such a height? Not something she was comfortable watching. As such the poke takes her off guard entirely.

Laughter bubbles up, sharp and sweet, and she clamps a hand over her mouth to glare at Remy.]

[kineticcajun]

[Angelic smile. What? He's providing a distraction, right? Surely you can't be mad about that.]

[fleurdesel]

Rems...

[A warning tone. Do not start this again.]

[kineticcajun]

Eyebrows, I know.

[And yet he's still tempting fate. Nope, never learns.]

Pffff fine, I guess I'll get to this one XP

[tailasoldastime]

[Alright... he can deal with this. They're moving images, this will someday be a common thing in his world, he can get used to it here... and he hopes he can get used to having Obi-Wan in two different places at once and just remember that it's not really real and...

... Maybe he should just stop thinking about it and watch.

Alright... alright, he's watching... watching now...

And becoming quite drawn to Anakin's emotional moments with Padme. Anyone watching will see him quite enraptured in these scenes.]
