Shadow Speculation
(please log in to view the image)
Okay...maybe I'm just overly bored but I want to know what the large shadow in the right hand corner of the pic is..I can't think of anything that big and low that would be around the homestead. Another thing is that the line and definition of the shadow (it's soft fuzzy outline) suggests that it's not something like a ship (that would have a harder, cleaner line..kind of like the homestead's shadow)
Clutching at straws here but if it is a ship and it's got it's landing thruster things going, wouldn't that diffuse the light and hence give the edges that blury-ness?
I'm guessing its a cloud, or possibly a sandstorm. It would be very dramatic to have the romantic moment of embrace suddenly fall under shadow, a nice foreshadowing (if you'll pardon the pun) of the troubled times ahead.
So my money's on a sandstorm. The two are forced in doors and spend their time sheltering from the storm reaquating themselves with their emotions for one another. Wow - having them fall in love and Anakin start talking about leaving the Jedi Order while a storm whipped up outside would be sheer poetry!!!
I can almost see the sand swirling into eddies and that speeder bike being swept away as the two lovers fight their way to the safety of the homestead... I want to see it NOW!

While I think that's a very sweet idea, I kind of doubt it because I believe they would then be totally emersed in the shadow.. mech had an interesting idea with the blurriness.. maybe it's a ship that's getting ready to leave..Could they be saying goodbye?..or hello??
Be nice to see a sandstorm, though. I mean, wasn't there one shot but cut from ROTJ, and the storms are certainly set-up as dangerous during TPM. I can't believe that Lucas won't actually show us a Tatooine snadstorm at some point and (I hope) AOTC could be his last chance. Because let's face it, he'll be stretching it if Tatooine features in Ep.III as well, or at least I think he will.
