Being as obsessed as I am about Star Wars, it can be fun to surprise other people with interesting tidbits they may not have noticed. This happened to me recently when I was able to share the wonderful use of Sunset and Sunrise imagery in Star Wars. This is common ground in your basic messageboard situation, but still good to consider.

The sun sets a lot in the prequel trilogy. A few places off the top my head include in the Jedi Council chambers as they test Anakin (I), at the same time that the Senate falls the manipulations of Palpatine (I); as Anakin searches for his lost mother on Tatooine (II) and then during the sequence of scenes where Anakin waits (or not) for the Jedi to arrest Palpatine (III).

This can symbolize either the fall of Anakin Skywalker, the Republic, the Jedi or all of the above. It's the end of one era...

...and the beginning of another. There are at least a few sunrises in the prequels. One beautiful moment is when Anakin and Padmé are married on Naboo in the final moments of episode 2, and then the one that triggered this post, the just-right setting of the last frame of episode 3 - Sunrise on Tatooine and "A New Hope".

More sounds from Revenge of the Sith (in a musical mood tonight)

UPDATE: Are my eyes deceived? Am I looking too deep? For I find the following in the official published screenplay of Revenge of the Sith:

AUNT BERU walks to UNCLE OWEN who is standing on the ridge near the homestead. OBI-WAN leaves as OWEN, BERU, and the BABY watch the twin suns set.

IRIS OUT. END TITLES.

Is that a rosy-fingered dawn or the last beams of a twin sunset? More research may be needed...
