Great Moments in "The Phantom Menace"

By tps12 (Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 02:32:24 AM EST) Star Wars, Phantom Menace, Amidala, Bibble, Panaka, invasion, negotiation, communication, situation (all tags)

Moment 2

A communications disruption can only mean one thing. Invasion.



               AMIDALA

          We must continue to rely on

          negotiation.


               BIBBLE

          Negotiation? We've lost all

          communications! And where are

          the Chancellor's Ambassadors?

          How can we negotiate? We must

          prepare to defend ourselves.


               PANAKA

          This is a dangerous situation,

          Your Highness. Our security

          volunteers will be no match

          against a battle-hardened

          Federation army.


               AMIDALA

          I will not condone a course of

          action that will lead us to war.

Thank you in advance, sir by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 1) #1 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 02:40:38 AM EST

For single-handedly shifting the Star Wars troll paradigm with such a simple and elegant posting strategy. I applaud you.

You can build the most elegant fountain in the world, but eventually a winged rat will be using it as a drinking bowl.

I challenge the implicit claim by DesiredUsername (4.00 / 3) #2 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 02:53:56 AM EST

that a Natalie Portman-less screenshot of a scene with Natalie Portman can be said to represent the "greatness" of said scene.

These are tough choices I'm making.

: how can you be sure? by martingale (2.00 / 0) #15 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 08:20:21 PM EST

How can you be sure it's really Natalie Portman, though, and not her body double disguised as the voice of Queen Amydala?

How do you "battle harden" droids? by Rogerborg (4.00 / 1) #4 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 03:08:20 AM EST

Or hadn't Lucas decided what he was going to superimpose on the screen yet? I guess it was better than the army of My Little Ponies that appeared in the early drafts.

before a droid will override the First Law.

Repeated hits from a blaster by ObviousTroll (4.00 / 2) #6 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 03:16:47 AM EST

have an annealing effect on droid armor. If the droid survives, it will have a much stronger carapace than it had before.

: that's just by martingale (2.00 / 0) #16 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 08:22:39 PM EST

some crazy evolutionary-talk! Everyone knows that battle hardened droids came fully formed out of the factory 5000 years ago.

battle harden by garlic (2.00 / 0) #7 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 03:18:19 AM EST

A battle bot is battle hardened. A robotic arm at a car company is not.

sci fi has many easier to ridicule premises. I liked the light sabre vs a plane of laser bolts idea in the last tps12 star wars diary.

Let me re-phrase by Rogerborg (3.50 / 2) #9 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 03:28:11 AM EST

How do you "battle harden" battle droids? Don't they come with that built in, or are they modified Aibos? Could this be a stark warning to all those who would perform upgrades on their Furbys?

The Nabooians are racists, and computer illiterate by georgeha (4.00 / 1) #12 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 04:48:39 AM EST

The Trade Federation mentioned "beta hardened" droids, and the Nabooians figured they couldn't pronounce "l".

When do we get to the erotic fan fic? by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #8 Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 03:19:18 AM EST

You know, where Obiwan and Anakin entertain Amidala with their light-saber tricks?
