I was watching AOTC yesterday and I noticed that when Obi Wan reports back to Coruscant from Kamino he says "R4! Scramble code 5 to Coruscant via the old folks home..." Now I thought I was hearing things so I watched it again with subtitles on and sure enough thats what he says. What the hell is the old folks home aside from the place you stick your parents when they stop making sense...

the old folks home is how he refers to the JC, seeing that yoda is around 874 years

Ah.... Oooo k..... Thanks then!

Yes it must be an inside joke between Obi and Yoda.

or Mace

Or most of the Council

except for adi gallia, she seems young
and depa billaba

I noticed that too Baylin, I thought it was quite funny!!

I thinks its a joke between everyone and Yoda. I thinks this because if you go into any old folks home you'll find little old people walking around with sticks talking funny....
Hmm wonder if Yoda smells of piss....

Will have to watch it again now!

Baylin,

its probably coded, so no one who is monitoring knows where he means.

Still, it was very witty...

I see it as dry humor

almost ... british?

There's nothing dry about Britain - Its cold and wet and you know it so dont rub it in!

actualy ... no, you claim it is, but never had any rain there!

So if its code 5 via the old folks home anyone listening in will just hear old folk moaning about how good it was in their day and how a cup of tea never cost anywhere near as much as it does now...

aaah, the good old days

indeed.

Yes, I like the idea of it being a code

GL does think of the little things like that. Digressing a little, I do like the idea of the handmaiden specially chosen due to their likeness and loyalty to the queen

Yeah, Corde's sacrifice was so sad and so touching...

But you just don't get that kind of information just by watching the movie though

Well it'd be a boring life if nothing was left to the imagination!

then we computers would be the supreme rulers!

No what I meant was, you need to read on the background book things or the case for many people, read the EU books I have seen many people talk about.

I am always fascinated when I read more information about the background of the costume when Anakin and Padme travelled as refugees. You just don't get that kind of information just by watching the movie by itself. It's part of something bigger.

And even with the "old folks home" you need a little insight in the Jedi relationships with each other. The way PT is expanding our understanding of OT.

I know what you mean Hypernova, I was reading the novel for Ep1 and Padme spoke more of her handmaidens and stuff...it provided a better understanding.

Would you recommend the Ep I and II books?
I'm going to buy them anyway, only because I read somewhere about how we get more insight on Padme and Anakin.

why do you ask for recommendation if you gonna buy them anyway??

I thought he said "Back home," not "old folks home."

nono, clearly old folks home

I'm gonna go check a script...

Yep, you were right...

you were still doubting ? how wude!

Using Gungan dialect? How childish!

I am a believer now...

I've only read Ep1 but it was alright...I just liked how you could read what they thought. I would LOVE to read Ep2 if they spoke more of the relationship!! Couldn't get enough of it in the films...
