Well, it's almost Christmas, and as such, I have some time off from now until shortly after New Year's. That doesn't necessarily mean I don't have things to do, but given the fact that I feel like procrastinating, I thought I would prop my feet up and watch Revenge of the Sith again, if only for a short while.

And as you can probably tell by now, something caught my attention during my viewing.

When Obi-Wan and Anakin are on Grievous' ship during the "Battle Over Coruscant," and they have just found the Chancellor, I noticed something worth taking note of. Obi-Wan gives a respectful and honorary bow to Palpatine, but Anakin does not. Anakin does ask the Chancellor if he's all right, but he does not give him a bow, which I would think would be customary for any Jedi when greeting someone of Palpatine's prestige. (Actually, it seems customary when they greet anyone, but I could be wrong about that)

It's really not that big of a deal, but I just found it to be kind of interesting. Under the circumstances, one might think, if anything, that Anakin would bow, and Obi-Wan might go without doing so, since he had his reservations about the Chancellor.

But the real question is, why Anakin did not bow to the Chancellor. I could try to speculate, but really, I can't think of any reasons that are fun, interesting, and add meaning to the saga.

Some might suggest that Anakin was just distracted by the events at the moment and not on doing the customary Jedi thing. However, that's too practical, and it is neither a fun, nor meaningful explanation. At least, to me it isn't.

But it is possible that I'm expecting too much from this scene, and there may not be anything to it. But I like to think there is, because, well, I like to milk Star Wars for everything it's worth.

Anyway, just something to mull over.
