I have to say, I felt Obi-Wan was being sarcastic. Ush, I know what you mean about "English sarcasm", it is VERY dry and can be taken the wrong way MOST of the time and it can be offensive. But thats the point.
Obi-Wan didn't agree with the tag-alongs but he didn't blatantly confront his master with disrespect and he did actually apolgise later for his actions.
Sound bloke Obi-Wan, what you all on about? Eh?😠
He wasn't being sarcastic in TPM. He couldn't beleive that Qui-Gon had picked up another stray. As Ush said, he was bemused.
Yes Palpatine is in the trailer. In the scene where Yoda walks he is standing looking out the window and Mace is sitting at the desk. It's in Palpatines office.
We haven't heard any bad guys speak yet. In fact we've hardly seen them. Do you think this is because Maul was everywhere and then wasn't in the film much. So Lucas doesn't want to dissapoint people again by showing us the bad guys who might not be in it that much?
