trying not to giggle

My son is a huge Star Wars fan, so I’m watching Episode 3 with him. Again.

ANAKIN: You need to distance yourself from your friends in the Senate. The Chancellor said they will be dealt with when this conflict is over.

PADME: What if they start an inquisition? I’ve opposed this war. What will you do if I become a suspect?

ANAKIN: That won’t happen. I won’t let it.

PADME: Oh, Anakin, I’m afraid.

ANAKIN takes PADME in his arms.

ANAKIN: Have faith, my love. Everything will soon be set right. The Chancellor has given me a very important mission. The Separatists have gathered in the Mustafar system. I’m going there to end this war. Wait for me until I return . . . things will be different, I promise.

They kiss.

ANAKIN: (continuing) Please, wait for me.

PADME: I will.

The true acting is being able to say these lines without bursting out laughing. I think this would have been so much more fun as a musical.

  1. Not as bad as Episode I, which my daughters love. No matter how many times the watch it, they continue to ask me, “Momma, what did Jar Jar just say?” More aggravating than listening to him is having to translate for him… 🙄
