Anyone else notice the complete and total lack of women in the film. Well if you didn't, let me enumerate for you. 6 with speaking parts, less than 15 shown in the entire movie.
Not only are there only 6 that speak, there are only 3 that have more than 5 lives.
Queen Amidala, one of her handmaidens and Shmi Skywalker. The other three that actually speak are one of the pilots of the Jedi's transport ship at the beginning, one of the Naboo fighter pilots and a woman in Mos Esba on Tatooine. Maybe a seventh in one of Anakin's friends, I don't remember for sure bout that.
Frankly, there needs to be a little more equality in the star wars galaxy. Between the racism and the sexism the movie was a travesty.
Actually the Trade Federation is based around the Chinese stereotype. This said, the Jedi are of course the Japanese Samurai figures, and the Naboo are Tibetan figures right down to the handmaidens gowns.
Interesting twist if you think about it that way. The samurai fighting the evil chinese to free the tibetans.
Everyone seems to have there opinion on whether or not 4 years is a justified length of time to spend waiting for trial, I don't actually have an opinion. My problem with the Justice Department was that they held Kevin in prison for 4 years before the trial. Whether it was his defense team, or the prosectuters that held up the trial is immeterial. The truth of the matter is that Kevin should have been out on bail 3 1/2 years ago.
