I just logged on to the blog section when Whoa! I made the most popular blog entries -- cool!
OK, down to business.
This is the continued Episode I part of the marathon.

Some random thoughts:

A: I was able to see all 12 masters on the Jedi council during the scene where Qui-gon reports to the council about his run-in with a Sith. Plo Koon, Mace Windu, Yoda and Ki-Adi-Mundi all facing Qui Gon. Saesee Tiin, Yaddle, Even Piell and Oppo Rancisis on his left side and behind him. Adi Gallia, Yarael Poof, Eeth Koth and Depa Billaba behind him and to his right.

PMYKSYEOAYED for short. --- See if you can spot them all!

B: When Obi Wan was separated from Qui-gon, why did the ray shields activate so fast? Why did they activate at all? What governs their timing?

C: Was Darth Maul scared of facing two Jedi? He seemed to separate them on purpose! Sure, it could be the old "Divide and Conquer" theory or is there more to it?

D: Palpatine was at the cremation of Qui-gon looking sad. Act or truth? Was he acting to be sad for the show of everyone there or was he upset that Darth Maul had been killed? -- Or both?
