Any Star Wars experts?

[3DisneyBuggs]

My son has been into watching the movies lately. I Tivo'd the Phantom Menace the other day. In that episode Anakin is a little kid and his future love is older in the movie. There are also two of her in this episode. Can anyone clear this up?

Also his favorite charater is Dark Mauth. Is he ever at MGM?

Yes, Anakin's future wife is older than him -- she's supposed to be a young teen.

Because she's a political figure, one of the security measures taken to protect her is to dress up another girl who looks a lot like her as the queen, and then diguise the real queen as a handmaiden (like a lady in waiting). In some scenes, they are in their real positions, but in others, they have swapped places. That's how the queen goes into the town on Tatooine and meets Anakin -- everyone thinks she's just the queen's servant.

In the movie, Natalie Portman plays the real queen and Keira Knightley (from Pirates) is the decoy queen. They really did look a lot alike back then, but they are two different people!

As for Darth Maul, I think he appears dring Star Wars weekends but I'm not sure!

Hey, I'm not an expert, (and I'm afraid I don't know about character appearances, although I think LOTS of unusual ones come during Star Wars weekend) but there are two Padmes because one is her security double. Sort of like her Secret Service agent, posing as the Queen when there is potential that she may be harmed.

Natalie Portman is the girl - there is only one of her. Keira Knightly actually plays her double. Natalie is Queen Amadala but she uses someone else to act as queen so she does not get in any trouble. Keira Knightly (who looks like her) is one of the quees servants who pretends to be her for protection.

Darth Maul is not at MGM but you can buy some stuff maybe! Now that i sound like a geek!

P.S - I have a crush on Natalie Portman!!! Dont tell her!

 

[snowy76]

Okay, I'm a total geek so I had to look this up. Wikipedia says Padme is 14 and Anakin is 9 in the first movie. The second movie (when they get together) takes place ten years later, so that would make them 24 and 19.

Didn't know Keira was the double...interesting.

Thanks! They really do look alike in the movie. I haven't watched the whole Phantom Menace yet and my son keeps replaying the fight scene with Dark Maul, Anakin's Dad and Obie One.

If we ever did see Dark Maul in MGM I would run away- he scares me!

 

[Frantasmic]

Wasn't Frances Ford Copella's daughter (Sophie?) in the Phantom Menace as a hand maiden too?

Dark Maul, Anakin's Dad and Obie One.

That is OBI-WAN and QUI-GONN - not Anakin's Dad. Anakin doesn't really have a Dad, supposedly a 'miracle' birth, tho some say his Dad is really Darth Sidious.

You can meet TONS of characters at Star Wars Weekends.

Darth Maul is at MGM during Star Wars weekends.

Here he is in battle with my son.

When is Star Wars weekend in WDW? My son is a huge fan and would probably know what Phantom Menace is but not me? Is this a movie or more like a cartoon type show?

 

[rt2dz]

In order of release:
Star wars IV: A New Hope
Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars VI: Return of The Jedi
Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars II: Attack of The Clones
Star Wars III: Revenge of The Sith

All of the above live action films

Also, in cartoon, by Cartoon Network with George Lucas:
Star Wars Clone Wars, Volume one
Star Wars Clone Wars, Volume Two

These are filler for the most part between movies episode II and III.

A link between Phantom Menance and X-Men(first film)

When Toad spins the pole at the elevator shaft it's a link to his light saber spin in Phantom Menance(same actor)

Aidensmom thanks for that great picture. My son is really going to want to do Star Wars Weekend.

rt2dz why all the sad faces- I know I'm Star Wars knowledge challenged but Im not that bad!

I doubt it. It's simply something the actor would do (Ray Park) as a guy who is actually into the martial arts rather than an actor they taught to spin a stick or sword.

I would really love to get to Star Wars Weekends, but I can't imagine dealing with those crowds.

Sofia, yup!

If you wanna get technical it's Qui-Gon.

Actually the move he does in X-Men is spot on to what he does in The Phantom Menace. There's even a trivia section of imdb.com that mentions it.

That's not the point. The point being that he also probably did the same move before even TPM since he was the one who created all the moves his character used. Unless Ray said he did it on purpose to link the movies I don't see this as anything other than fanboys trying too hard to try and find links that are not really there.

WELL, EXCUSE ME!!! LOL!

I guess it is the GINN that has two N's - Qui-Gon Ginn. I am not the resident SW Expert of the house!
