It has to have a compelling romance between Anakin and Padme while also crafting a sci-fi film noir storyline with Obi-Wan. One thing is certain, this movie is crammed to the rafters with little details and moments that reward multiple viewings. Here are some of our favorites.

    In Star Wars Episodes II and III, Shmi's, Padme's and Obi-wan's last words to Anakin are all to do with love.

    From IMDB:

    According to George Lucas, Obi-Wan's hiding in Geonosis' asteroid field teaches young Boba Fett a lesson that he uses to his advantage during adulthood. Having learned how Obi-Wan hid from him and his father, Boba knows the trick Han Solo is using to hide in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and is able to find him.
