Episode III

Some guy named Derek (not our Derek) has posted an amusing pre-review of the next Star Wars movie. Among the tidbits in the “What Worked” section:
Yoda, Padmé, Anakin and Obi-Wan all make an appearance on the galaxy-wide broadcast “The Jehr-quat Springer Show” in which Padmé’s change of heart is announced to a packed hooting and trilling audience of various species. Anakin leaves the studio in a huff to a roar of audience approval. Padmé then quietly announces to a shocked audience that Anakin is the father of her unborn children. Yoda briefly closes his eyes, opens them, then taps his hand on Padmé’s thigh and says “Your life do I want to share, provide for them I will” and the crowd goes totally apeshit.
If the final product makes this much sense, we’ll be lucky. (Warning: spoilers!)
