Summary

Joining Griffin and David this week is special guest J.D. Amato to discuss the behind-the-scenes making of this film, including, a featurette entitled: “Star Wars State Of The Art: The Pre-Visualization Of Episode II” (found in the initial DVD release of Attack of the Clones.) Together, they examine the process of pre-visualization, why the CGI technology of its time compared even with today’s still makes this film ambitious, the uncanny valley and reasons why most of the special effects didn’t enhance or contribute to the overall story. Though, George tried his best, why did Lucas put himself into a situation where no one could help him or this movie? Why did actors perform to no one in a blue room? Was there ever even a bigger picture or cohesive plan? Find out these answers and more! Join our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.

0:32.4	vacation last week and I screwed up our recording schedule and we missed a week and I feel bad about it.
0:37.4	It actually worked out great because I needed that extra day to do more community service to offset
0:43.2	the negative energy I put into the world with our last episode. Our last episode donating all my
0:49.7	time and money. Our last episode was really embarrassing. But it was actually really fun to listen
0:54.2	back to. JD, we are guests this week. We'll introduce him later. Yeah, multi-hyphenate JDM Auto.

1:06.6	You know in the in the Janks how it doesn't make you have you seen the Janks? I've seen the Janks,
1:11.4	yeah. So you know how it makes no sense that he stole that sandwich and you're like this guy's
1:15.2	on the run. Everyone's looking for him. Yeah, he has $35,000 in a bag or whatever. Yeah, in his car,

1:31.5	I am so tired of this fucking movie and I sent the last two weeks analyzing why in our last episode,
1:36.8	I read large sections, too many sections, Ben had to cut some out of a history paper. I wrote in
1:43.2	10th grade called Back in Blackface or can you menstrual show me how to get to racism street?
1:49.7	Which was me trying to tackle the entire issue of representation of African Americans in the media.
