(FT3) New m43 camcorder with a super 35 sized sensor?
image showing the sensor size comparison
The Las Vegas NAB show will start on April 14th. And of course we can expect new Panasonic (and other?) Micro Four Thirds camcorders. The questions only is….what kind of surprise should we expect? According to one of our sources there will be a new Micro Four Thirds mount camcorder with Super35 sized sensor! I haven't got any detailed specs yet but I have been told all current m43 lenses will work fine on the new sensor size. For reference only, the Sony NEX-FS100 uses a super 35 sensor that which has a length of 23,6mm and a height of 13,3mm. The Micro Four Thirds sensor has a length of 17,3mm and height of 13mm.
I hope to get more specs about that soon. And as this is a major broadcast event I really hope Panasonic will finally release the new 12-35mm and 35-100mm f/2.8 powerzoom X lenses too
Rumors classification explained (FT= FourThirds):
FT1=1-20% chance the rumor is correct
FT2=21-40% chance the rumor is correct
FT3=41-60% chance the rumor is correct
FT4=61-80% chance the rumor is correct
FT5=81-99% chance the rumor is correct
Is that sort of sensor going to be covered by m43 lenses?
It will suck if there's vignetting/soft corners with most m43 lenses.. it won't be any good for pros videographers, which are who this is targeted at.-
there probably won't be any vignetting if pros steer clear of the cheaper pana-oly lenses and buy pro lenses like pros tend to do. This is definitely good news for m43′s and considering the video rep m43′s has it will be fantastic news for professional videographers looking for cheaper solution than the scarlet or c300.
What is the point of making in m43 if you can't use m43 lenses?
The idea that "pros will buy pro lesnes, instead of the regular m43 lenses" is retarded.
no its not, i don't mean pro lenses that aren't for m43s, I mean upcoming constant aperture pana's, constant aperture oly's, sneider kruesnach and slr magic cine lenses, plus lots of older legacy glass that easily won't vignette on a super 35 sensor, properly adapted (ie, glass that was designed for 35mm).
Ah. You mean cine lenses.
Like the Zeiss Distagon 25/T2,9
I still think it's silly to make them to the m43 mount, and have different sized lenses, and sensors.
FT1 at most? I don't see it happening.
the sensor already exists, by mistake or otherwise they displayed it here:
http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z179/realink_album/review/cid_part10400010409060404netfrog.jpgthat isnt a four thirds size sensor, it is larger than that, that is a movie industry film gate on the left of it.
I think, high end video resources would look at the movie industry rental lenses for something like this. Yes its possible that a 4/3rds lens could be accepted, and clearly some would work, but I dont see that as whats intended.
IF something like this happens…. I expect that it would use a crop mode when using 4/3rd lens… and would come with some kind of PL mount (or a range of mounts) for utilising the full sensor.
Note the Canon, Sony, and Panasonic implementations:

Re: the photo. That sensor was only put on display to compare the 4/3′s size to Super 35′s size and show that 4/3 is the perfect size for video. Also there's no sense on putting a m43 mount on that sensor, possible a PL mount, but then they ruin their own lenses business. I don't see that happening.
no I discussed it with JW over at DPR, and we think its bigger than current 4/3rds sensors. And we think that's an academy film gate. Now whether or not the idea they have now is exactly the same sensor remains to be seen, but the thing is they've been working on this idea of a larger sensor for some time.
Anyone know what the crop factor of Super 35 is? Micro four thirds is 2. Isn't Super 35 something like 1.5, 1.4, or 1.6? So the 20mm Panasonic pancake would function as a 30mm instead of a 40mm? Is that correct?
1.51x (24.9 x 14 mm)
Crop factor is for stills. It compares a sensor to the size of still 35mm film, which is 65mm movie film. For video cameras, you should use Cine Factor, which compares to 35mm Academy Aperture. M4/3 Cine Factor = 1.19, which means a 45 degree AOV lens would be 25mm on the AF100, but it would be 30mm on a Panavision 35mm.
"Cine Factor", "35mm Academy Aperture", "45 degree AOV lens", etc. I'm sure what you've just said is clear as day to some on here but I'm not sure what you just said. I can see cinematographers speak a different language. Anyway, if you take the 20mm micro four thirds pancake lens, which functions as a 40mm lens on micro four thirds; are you saying it would function as a 24mm lens on Super 35 and be considered an ultra wide angle lens? Also, this is off topic but cinematographers don't use the term ISO do they? I forget the term they use but does it mean the same thing as ISO?
Anonymous, I have one more question for you if you come back to this thread. I read that Alfred Hitchcocks favorite lens was a 50mm, which he called the lens of the eye. Would that be equivalent to what we consider a 50mm today? Did 35mm stills film and 35mm movie film used to be the same size? If you get a chance to answer much appreciated. It's not often I get to pick the brain of someone who is up to speed on cinematography.
I poked around and it looks like, for Psycho at least, he shot in academy format. That's about a 20x15mm frame. Then I figured out what a 4/3s crop on a full frame would be (24x32mm). I figured out the diagonals — 25mm for academy, 40mm for full frame. 40/25mm= 1.6. 1.6* 50mm =80mm. So I guess he means a portrait lens, more or less.
I'm not sure my methodology is quite right, but it should be pretty close. He did apparently intend for the top and bottom of the frame to be cut off somewhat in the theater, which complicates things as well.
This is kind of interesting: http://www.filmbuffonline.com/FBOLNewsreel/wordpress/2010/08/19/going-psycho-over-aspect-ratios/
Hi Andrew and thanks for that interesting link. I think somewhere along the way the story of Hitchcock using a 50mm on Psycho went wrong. I suspect he used a 50mm equivalent- perhaps something like a 32mm? Under Trivia about the film IMDB states: "In order to implicate viewers as fellow voyeurs Alfred Hitchcock used a 50 mm lens on his 35 mm camera. This gives the closest approximation to the human vision. In the scenes where Norman is spying on Marion this effect is felt."
No way does 80mm best approximate human vision. I mean, wasn't the reason 50mm was standard for a 35mm stills camera was because it best approximated human vision?
This is from a book called Hitchcock and the Making of Marnie:
"Most of the time Hitchcock used fixed lenses and rarely a zoom. His favorite lens was a 50 mm, which he said was the lens of the eye…"
You can read the whole part on Google Books. The cameraman makes it sound like it was indeed a 50 so maybe it was like a portrait lens. Very odd.-
I know, 50mm is definitely not a "normal" lens on a film camera. Unless he was shooting on 65mm/Vista Vision (He didn't, I don't think,) 50mm is a portrait lens on the camera he used. Particularly with the planned extra cropping.
If I recall, Bresson favored a 50mm as well.
Thanks c.d. and Andrew. This is what David Mullen (someone who himself was the cinematographer on a bunch of big budget films) had to say over on Roger Deakins forum:
I find it easier to just compare horizontal view rather than diagonal view since aspect ratio affects the length of the diagonal. FF35 is 36mm wide and Super-35 is 24mm wide, so that's a 1.5X difference, so you'd use a 33.33mm lens in Super-35 to match the horizontal field of view of a 50mm lens in FF35. In practical terms, you'd use a 32mm or 35mm in Super-35.As for why old-time Hollywood cinematographers called a 50mm lens "normal" for both FF35 and 35mm cine photography, I think that was just a bit of mental laziness on their part, just applying ideas from still photography directly into movie photography. It's also probably because the 50mm lens was the most commonly built & available lens for early cinematography, maybe because it was made by the same companies making still lenses. Though keep in mind that old movies were 4×3 until the mid 1950′s so the diagonal was a bit longer than later when movies were cropped to 1.85, so a 50mm lens in the old Academy days felt slightly wider-angle than it did in the later masked widescreen period.
But I recall Hitchcock being so enamored of the "normal" 50mm lens that he shot most of "Psycho" and "Vertigo" on it… even though "Vertigo" was an 8-perf 35mm VistaVision movie (i.e. FF35) and thus the 50mm was "normal" on that movie but a bit longer-looking on "Psycho". At least that's what I heard. I recently read a book by his line producer Herb Coleman and he tells this story about having to do a pick-up or reshoot on "Vertigo" for Hitchcock and having to shoot on a 35mm lens because of space restrictions and Hitchcock giving him a hard time for not using a 50mm.
http://www.deakinsonline.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1776I find it fascinating listening to these really talented cinematographers talk shop.
50mm is considered as the NORMAL lens for 35mm Cine. 25mm is considered as the NORMAL lens for 16mm Cine. The idea of "Portrait Lens" comes from Still Photography and really doesn't have anything to do with Cine. I've seen lenses ranging from 20mm to 100mm used for Close-Ups.
"Crop Factor" was recently invented by Amateur Digital Photographers. I started working in Hollywood in the 1970s and NEVER ONCE heard "Crop Factor" mentioned.
"…wasn't the reason 50mm was standard for a 35mm stills camera was because it best approximated human vision?" No It Isn't, 43mm is the diagonal on 24×36 film. Everybody used 50mm because it was picked by Leica as their "Kit Lens" many, many years ago.
Sure, but certainly a 50mm on 35mm movie film does not approximate what the eye sees. I'm aware that a 50 in FF doesn't precisely accomplish that, either, but it's clearly more similar.
You can shoot a portrait with a number of non-ideal lenses in still photography, too, but for either medium, a moderately long, fast lens is desirable for blurred background and so forth.
I know you may not intend it, but your general attitude and use of cap locks is condescending and antagonistic, and doesn't add anything to the conversation.
Sorry that Hollywood reality doesn't match your preconceived notions. You seem to think I'm lying when I say that 50mm is the normal lens,but I'm not. I'm retired IATSE and have worked on TV Commercials, Series Television, MOWs and Features.
Blurred Backgrounds are more important to Still Photographers and DSLR film-makers than it is to Hollywood. They mainly shoot between f/2.8 and f/5.6. Below are some typical lenses you will see on sets:
1. Angenieux 15-40mm T2.6 OPTIMO Zoom Lens
2. ARRI/FUJINON Alura Zoom Lens 18-80 T2.6
3. Cooke 15-40mm T2.0 CXX Zoom LensFor Still Portraits I prefer 85mm on DX and 135mm on Full Frame. YMMV
Bro, you ego is annoying. You've been a fucking PA your whole life on stupid film sets. Your that one annoying guy on film sets that everyone must learn to ignore.The only reason you chimed in is because you need it satisfy your empty ego. Grow the fuck up and quite naming lenses. Hollywood is old news. Try doing it all your self on your budget and produce something mind blowing. That's what us young guys do.
Using the image diagonals from the AbelCine format chart that RSS posted, the crop factor is…
28.5 / 21.6 = 1.32
Thanks Guy. That doesn't sound right though. I think reverse stream swimmer is probably right- it's 1.51. I seem to recall hearing it's basically the same size as APS. But I don't know. The folks at Abel Cine should definitely know what they're talking about. So maybe it is 1.32.
Actually, it does sound right. It's basic math, and I knew that the 1.52 was wrong as soon as I saw it.
In this thread over on his forum the cinematographer Roger Deakins said that if he could only use one lens it would be a 32mm. He shoots a lot of the Coen Brothers films and other big projects. So if you're right that would mean the 32mm functions as a 42mm lens- is that correct? He says if he could only have 4 lens they would be 27mm, 32mm, 40mm, 65mm. I was under the impression the 32mm functioned more like a 50mm when it comes to Super 35. But if you're calculations are right it would be more like a 42? Here's the link to the thread on Deakin's forum:
http://www.deakinsonline.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1281 -
This article says: "Often on-set we call the lens in that range the (32mm Cooke S4 or 35mm Zeiss Superspeed) the British Standard lens because it's a lens we use SO much. Field of view wise a 35mm lens on a Super35 cine frame is the equivalent to the much favored 50mm in full frame stills."
But if you're right 35mm would only be 46mm.
The crop factor that I listed is comparing M4/3 format against the Super35 film format. ( Just like the AbleCine chart does )
Keep in mind that Full Frame 35mm Still Photo format has no real connection to cinematography, and thus is kind of meaningless when discussing cine lenses.
So the crop factor of 1.32x happens when shooting video with a M4/3 camera relative to the Super35 film format. Thus a 24mm for the M4/3 format would be roughly equivalent to using a 32mm lens for the Super35 format.
The Full Frame Still Photo format is not relevant at all.
very interesting, I would like to know if it would be possible to cover the full senzor with a m4/3 lens..
Imagining a S35 senzor in af200 and maybe later in GH series would be big step up in IQ for micro 4/3 a little bit bigger body would only be welcomed for me.. I like more the GH1 with the grip .. so don´t be scared panny to put that S35 senzor in the GH series! -
Is the image circle of the lens large enough for a super 35 sensor?
My guess is that only some M4/3 lenses ( standard and telephoto ) will cover the S35 format. ( wide-angles might be a problem )
That's an interesting rumor.
A Super35 sensor is slightly larger than APS-C (24.9×14 vs 22.3×12.5).
The Voigtlander 25mm vignettes when adapted to the Sony NEX, which has an APS-C sensor:
Not by much, but with a slightly larger sensor the vignette will be slightly worse, and presumably on wider lenses it will be worse still.
A crop mode would be a possibility, but I'm not really sure that really makes sense.
To be honest, I'd rather see them develop a full raster m43 video sensor for the AF100 successor. If they want to compete at the high end with the F3 and C300 then Super35 is probably the way to go, but in that case I'm not sure why you'd put a m43 mount on it.
So if this rumor is true, then it sounds like Panasonic is going to do something either very interesting or somewhat stupid.
For sure it's gonna vignette! No matter what the quality of the lens is. It is a very bad idea!
The MFT with a Super 35 sensor is called Sony NEX.
Again, Sony done just right, who would create a 4:3 sensor in 2007?-
NEX have good quality but size of lens is not very compensated, m4/3 i think system better compensated.
I think panasonic put this sensor 35mm in new GH3 to counteract sensor of O-MD.
Why do you keep saying the 12-35 and 35-100 are powerzooms? They aren't. They zoom as you'd expect.
Why this is even a rumor? The picture shows a 35mm film strip (left) for size comparisons with an m4/3rds sensor (middle)!!
Admin: How did you stretch that strip of film to a possibility of a larger 4/3rds digital sensor?
More E-M5 ISO samples from Qesabesde
BTW, the claim that "all existing m4/3rds lenses" will work on the mythical "Super sized" 4/3rds sensor is totally false.
Even the 20/1.7 does not even cover the APS-C sized NEX sensor.
The worst is the fabulous Olympus 17/2.8.
This is not April first, the whole reason of 4/3rds is the reduced size.
Makes no sense to me. A larger sensor would require larger lenses, so unless they're going to use a mount other than m43 why would they do this.
And, of course, if it uses a larger sensor and a different mount, it's no longer m43, is it?
…If this rumor is true, there is also the possibility that this camera will ONLY exist as high end prosumer digital cine camera that is designed to use special M4/3 digital cine lenses. ( there might be some compatibility with M4/3 still photo lenses, but this would be on a case by case basis )
This would be Panasonic's answer to the Sony F3 and Canon C300.
Bigger is better , bring it on olympus!
Not a good idea IMHO. They are facing lots of competition and they should focus on the m43s. If not, they will lose both markets.
why? they do endiscopes and microscopes too, and it doesn't appear that all of this energy devoted to m4/3 has hurt that lucrative part of the business.
honestly, the more options the 4/3 and m4/3 users have to grow into within the system, the better for the longevity of the system. especially since there is no telling where the next trend is coming from…too much concentration on the same kind of m4/3 bodies is like putting all of your eggs in one basket.
They mean its the GH2 sensor of course, native 1.8 crop in video, it wont be 35 whats the point, no lens to use. GH2 already has the oversize sensor, af100 doesnt. The new cam will have the widened sensor for 16:9 native crop ala GH2/1
Hmmm… this is a tough debate, how much are you gaining by going super 35mm? 24% difference in size, marginal crop factor. Maybe some dynamic range. The new Nikon has a crop mode, maybe these cameras could too. I think that it becomes a buzz word game. Every idiot out there wants shallow depth of field out of focus shots, so they want big sensors. Super 35 just sounds sooo nice, and it is, so if Panasonic just slaps it on the side of the camera it could sell as well as everyone else. This and going 4K. Hmmm…Super 35mm Af200 with pl mount adapter included that shoots 4K…10 grand?
Not a chance this will happen. The multi aspect ratio gh2 sensor already makes use of the full image circle in 16:9. giving a size of 18.8 * 10.6 and aprox 1.9 crop. far short of supper 35. This link has a diagram showing it:
As others have said, it just looks like a piece of film to indicate that 4/3rs is much bigger than 2/3 (twice as big: who would have guessed)
4/3rd superficially looks similar in size to super 35 because the hight is similar. But not the width. Once you change the aspect ratio you loose that hight and the real difference becomes apparent.
If Panasonic were to do this, then it wouldn't be micro four thirds by definition.
* 4/3rds is 4 times as big as 2/3. Twice as big in hight and width.
Most people don't user area for these measurements. If they did, we would say that the m43 crop factor was ~4x, rather than 2x.
But what if they increased the disctance from the sensor slightly? This would enlarge the image circle, without it affecting the image quality in the corners (by much), wouldn't it?
That way all the old lenses would still be compatible with the full sensor resoultion, I believe or would this give other problems with focus range or something?
I would only hope the sensor would also have multiple aspect ratios like the GH2.
More rumors about the 12-35mm plz. If they are being released in one month, why so quiet?
Its a great idea. Native MFT lenses will work in a crop mode without any noticeable difference from a 43 sensor camera, everything else will be bigger and better. With the right in-camera codec this will be a scarlet killer. I say this as an AF100 owner/operator, the only thing holding the AF100 back (and very very little at that) is the sensor. The fundamental problem with these large sensor video cameras (including HDSLRs) is that it is really expensive to make a fast MP quality 10X zoom, I don't think that will ever change so anything to improve DR is ok with me.
Check this out, lots of good knowledge here. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?227557-AF100-Crop-Factor-35mm-Motion-Picture-film-and-Micro-4-3s
Let me have a go at explaining 35mm cinema film vs 135 film and 43 sensor.
Film for cinema and stills is basically the same Oscar Barnack used motionfilm in his camera to bring about a smaller more portable camera opposed to big old sheetfilm or rollfilm.
A motion camera ran film up/down producing a frame with 4 perforations resulting in a 1.33:1 (4:3) aspectratio.
Barnack took the same film but ran it sideways producing a frame with 8 perforations resulting in 3:2 aspectratio.
When Maitani introduced the Pen halfframe he actually went back to the motion aspectratio and yielded twice the frames compared to "traditional" 135 cameras.
The original Pen has 4:3 aspectratio or somewhat close to this. The frame was in portrait mode for landscape you had to turn the camera (film runs up/down like motion camera)So today the Pana/Oly 43 standard is very close to a 35mm filmstill when used fullscreen. 24×18(film) vs 18×13(43)
Motionpictures where shot fullscreen (4:3 ratio) and matted to widescreen when projected. What you often get when the frame was transferred fullscreen to fit 4:3 TV broadcast or videotape is unexpected elements in the frame like dollytracks or boom.
Audiences have come to like and adopt the "widescreen" format but actually are missing the bigger picture that standard 35film has to offer. Using anamorphic lenses can exstract all/more from the film but most of the time it's simply hard matted or matted (cropped) out later.
Sidenote to introduction of widescreen televisions around the year 2000. In 2002 a man in the Netherlands felt he was cheated by Philips by pushing 16:9 widescreen TVs. The salespitch (believe) was you get more picture to the sides giving a wider view = better cinema experience. In fact the man felt he was robbed from top and bottom of the picture.
The man went to the former Philips headquarters in Amsterdam and held many people hostage and demanded to stop producing 16:9 TVs. Eventually he killed himself.16:9 and other widescreen aspects are nice and all that but the man did have a point. Doing 16:9 in any sensor be it 4:3, APS-C, fullframe or 35mm film is throwing away pixels. I don't think consumers will go back to 4:3 fullscreen to enjoy all that 35mm motionfilm/43 sensor can capture.
So in effect a large part of the Pana sensor is useless unless you want to watch a film fullscreen on a CCTVscreen. If Pana is using a dedicated sensor for this new video camera than they are wasting space and pixels unless the new sensor can also be used in stills cameras.

Second thoughts -- and -- very unlikely controversy erupted this week over the miniseries the Bible.
Some believe that the actor who plays a double was made up to look like Barack Obama produces a program deny that -- the likeness is undeniable.
So we wanted to update the status of Lucifer the prince of darkness what as the current wisdom regarding him.
-- South Philadelphia rabbi -- -- Spiro the author of the book push back reclaiming the American Judeo Christian spirit.
-- from Washington doctor Chris -- teaches theology Catholic university.
So first of all doctor Ruddy.
-- and a rabbi writes about this the Bible is fairly clear that that god and the doubles set off the classic.
Good vs evil free will decisions that people have to make on earth that's what we have both god and the double.
Dot representing good to double -- represent -- Do you believe doctor first -- -- on the -- front that there is an act of god who does exist and and actually influences what happens here -- Definitely that there is an act of god and that there is also an active.
Evil principle he might call the double.
And Angel that was created good.
But fell through his own free will and is now a sort of presence of evil in the world are -- these -- spirits that actively.
Effects on human beings that's your belief doctor right.
Yes OK but I do rabbi do you see the same way.
What we don't believe -- an actual double what we do believe that -- during the time of creation.
Got a -- unleashed a force.
Of evil.
And even within people there's the constant struggle between our good inclinations and some of our unsavory inclinations.
And it's not an actual.
-- but they are forces outside of us and our our sentiments within us I don't understand a word force though is that a spirit is that a.
Is that a didn't -- Within people what is a force.
Within man it's an instinct there is things towards good and our instincts towards evil -- how do I have read these are inherent in every human being -- -- on earth there -- things to go either way and there's a poll and a porch.
A between god and I know you believe in god around by.
And at what you call the other force would you say you don't believe in a double.
Don't believe and a double per say now in the Bible there is mention of that in in jolt of Satan coming.
Which is more of an allegorical character of figure to represent.
Satan meaning representing the the evil that's found in the world.
But within -- there's no independent force within us it's part of -- -- -- the nation's view is I I was OK but you see it did a little differently doc do you believe that there is an active evil.
Spirit if you will or something that injects.
Himself for a better you know pro -- thrown out.
-- -- -- yes certainly a sense that we can be tempted by this evil presents this evil power.
But yet we're free as human beings to resist that are two or two rejected it's not a case of god and Satan being equal part -- and this isn't -- -- -- -- the professor of theology at Catholic U.
Sees somebody some for -- as you said rabbi a spirit that is actively.
All right pulling people to do wrong.
You don't see it that way you see it.
As everybody is born with both the inclination to do good and evil.
And then the person has to decide which way they wanna go that rabbi how do you explain the people who choose evil.
How do you explain those people and what happens to them after they die IE Adolf Hitler people like that.
I do believe that people who have a life where they choose tremendous evil and harm people.
They do end up and -- how I do believe that there is a heaven and hell and there is a judgment no question.
People sometimes -- evil because they're lazy.
They haven't worked on themselves and sometimes it's simply because they have ambitions -- lots.

text: AIP Partners with CLOCKSS to Digitally Archive All of AIP's Electronically Published MaterialParticipation ensures perpetual access to AIP online contentMelville, New York, 12 June 2009 — The American Institute of Physics (AIP) announced today that online versions of all its journals will soon reside in the dark archive, CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), a joint venture by libraries and publishers committed to ensuring long-term access to scholarly publications in digital format. CLOCKSS will make AIP content freely available in the event that AIP is no longer able to provide access. "AIP has long been committed to digital archiving, formulating our first policy statement on the subject more than 10 years ago," said Tim Ingoldsby, AIP's Director of Strategic Initiatives and Publisher Relations. "In the intervening years, we've been gratified when other publishers have taken our framework as a model when fashioning their own archiving policy." The CLOCKSS initiative was created in response to the growing concern that digital content purchased by libraries may not always be available due to discontinuation of an electronic journal or because of a catastrophic event. CLOCKSS creates a secure, multi-site archive of web-published content that can be tapped into to provide ongoing access to researchers worldwide, free of charge. "Today, when over one half of all our subscriptions are online only, we owe it to our customers more than ever to provide the best security possible for their electronic products, said Mark Cassar, AIP's Acting Publisher. "Our nearly three-year-old partnership with Portico, and now our participation in the CLOCKSS initiative, solidifies this commitment." CLOCKSS' decentralized, geographically distributed preservation strategy ensures that the digital assets of the global research community will survive intact. Additionally, it satisfies the demand for locally situated archives with 15 archive nodes planned worldwide by 2010. The American Institute of Physics is a federation of 10 physical science societies representing more than 135,000 scientists, engineers, and educators and is one of the world's largest publishers of scientific information in physics. Offering full-solution publishing services for physics scientific societies and for similar organizations in science and engineering, AIP pursues innovation in electronic publishing of scholarly journals. AIP publishes its own 12 journals (many of which have the highest impact factors in their category); two magazines, including its flagship publication Physics Today; and the AIP Conference Proceedings. Its online publishing platform Scitation hosts nearly two million articles from more than 185 scholarly journals, and other publications of 28 learned society publishers.For more information, please contact: |

It would be really nice if color names of friends and clan mates were of different color to the rest of the people in a channel chat.
It would be far easier to see when somebody you know said something, much like it is when you say something.
And seeing how there is already that feature for yourself, gray color name, it wouldn't be that hard to implement it
for people from their friend list and maybe their clan as well.
It just improves visibility and it becomes much easier to quickly see if anybody of interest said something while you are in a game.

Can you recommend a diet after gallbladder removal?
I recently had my gallbladder out and I keep having diarrhea. Is there a gallbladder removal diet I should follow?
from Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D.
After having their gallbladders removed, some people develop frequent loose, watery stools that characterize diarrhea. In most cases, the diarrhea lasts no more than a few weeks to a few months. There isn't a specific gallbladder removal diet that you should follow, but there are a few things you might consider.
First, it helps to understand why you're having diarrhea. Diarrhea after gallbladder removal seems to be related the release of bile directly into the intestines. Normally the gallbladder collects and concentrates bile, releasing it when you eat to aid the digestion of fat. When the gallbladder is removed, bile is less concentrated and drains more continuously into the intestines, where it can have a laxative effect.
The amount of fat you eat at one time also plays a role. Smaller amounts of fat are easier to digest, while larger amounts can remain undigested and cause gas, bloating and diarrhea.
Although there isn't a set gallbladder removal diet, the following tips may help minimize problems with diarrhea after you've had your gallbladder out:
- Go easy on the fat. Avoid high-fat foods, fried and greasy foods, and fatty sauces and gravies. Instead, choose fat-free or low-fat foods. Low-fat foods are those with no more than 3 grams a serving. Check labels and follow the serving size listed.
- Increase the fiber in your diet. This can help normalize bowel movements. But be sure to increase the amount of fiber in your diet slowly, such as over several weeks, because too much fiber at first can make gas and cramping worse.
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals. This may ensure a better mix with available bile. A healthy meal should include small amounts of lean protein such as poultry, fish and fat-free dairy, along with vegetables, fruit and whole grains.
You may also try limiting foods that can worsen diarrhea in general, including:
- Caffeine
- Dairy products
- Greasy foods
- Very sweet foods
Talk with your doctor if your diarrhea doesn't diminish or becomes more severe, or if you lose weight and become weak. Your doctor may recommend medicines such as loperamide (Imodium A-D), which slows down intestinal movement, or medications that decrease the laxative effect of bile, such as cholestyramine (Locholest, Prevalite).

- "The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun, the Clone War has."
- ―Yoda
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is the second Star Wars film, and was released in 2002. It is the second part of the prequel trilogy which began with Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and ended with Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It is also the first Star Wars film which used a high-definition digital 24-frame system for most of the movie's live-action scenes.[1]
The film is set ten years after the Battle of Naboo, when the galaxy is on the brink of civil war. Under the leadership of renegade Jedi Master Count Dooku, thousands of systems threaten to secede from the Republic. When an assassination attempt is made on Senator Padmé Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker is assigned to protect her, while his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi is assigned to investigate the assassination attempt. Soon the Jedi are drawn into the heart of the separatist movement, and the beginning of a new threat to the galaxy: the Clone Wars.
Directed by George Lucas with co-assistance of James McTeigue, the film was a financial success, grossing over $300 million at the box office in United States. However, the film was overshadowed by the even greater box-office success of its predecessor, The Phantom Menace. For the first time, a Star Wars film did not earn the highest box-office sales for the year; the highest grossing film turned out to be Spider-Man, which garnered a more favorable critical reception. Attack of the Clones was released on Blu-ray in September 2011.
Opening crawlEdit
| ||
A decade after the events of The Phantom Menace, the Galactic Republic is in crisis. A Separatist movement led by former Jedi Master Count Dooku, alias the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, is threatening the peace, causing the Galactic Senate to debate a Military Creation Act to form a standing army for the Republic's protection. Senator Padmé Amidala, former Queen of Naboo, returns to Coruscant to vote against the Act, even though there are no longer enough Jedi to maintain peace and justice in the galaxy.
Upon her arrival on Coruscant, she narrowly escapes an assassination attempt that claims the life of her decoy, Cordé. As a result, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine requests that Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker protect her.
That night, the assassin Zam Wesell makes another attempt on Amidala's life, though the Jedi are able to foil her plot. They pursue her through Galactic City, though she is killed by a saberdart, fired by a mysterious "rocket man", before the Jedi can learn the name of her employer. Returning to the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan is given a new assignment by the High Council; to track down the assassin's killer. Meanwhile, Anakin continues his assignment of protecting the Senator, and is asked to escort her back to her home planet of Naboo. Anakin welcomes the opportunity, as he often becomes angry and frustrated by Obi-Wan's criticism, and is glad to have an opportunity to be on his own. Further, he has become infatuated with Padmé, and relishes the chance to spend time with her. Representative Jar Jar Binks assumes the Senator's duties in her absence.
During the investigation, Obi-Wan is led to a mysterious planet called Kamino—missing from the Jedi Archives—where he discovers a secret clone army being developed for the Republic. He is told by Prime Minister Lama Su that the army was ordered some ten years ago by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas — although Obi-Wan was "under the impression" that Sifo-Dyas was killed before that time. A bounty hunter named Jango Fett was hired as the template for the clones. Obi-Wan meets Jango on Kamino, and believes him to be the killer he has been tracking. He tries to capture Jango, which leads to a titanic one-on-one fight between them. Jango makes use of his blasters and missile equipment, managing to defeat Obi-Wan by sending him plummeting into the raging sea below. Thinking he is dead, Jango leaves with his son Boba. Obi-Wan however, places a homing beacon on his ship, Slave I, and follows him to the planet of Geonosis.
Meanwhile, Anakin and Padmé have been spending much time together on Naboo. At one point, Padmé beats Anakin in a small fight. Anakin reveals his deep love for her, vowing to do whatever she asked. However, Padmé resists, explaining that it would be impossible for the two of them to be together, since she is a Senator and he is a Jedi. Anakin is angered by this, and experiences inner conflict between his strong desires for her and his duties as a Jedi.
Anakin is also troubled by a newfound sense that his mother is in grave danger, and he beckons for Padmé to accompany him to his home planet of Tatooine—in the process disobeying Obi-Wan's orders to remain on Naboo. Upon arriving, Anakin tracks down his former owner Watto, from whom he learns that his mother has married a moisture farmer named Cliegg Lars, and travels to the Lars homestead, where C-3PO has been staying. Cliegg tells Anakin the horrible truth, that his mother was kidnapped a month ago by the Tusken Raiders. Anakin travels through the night, and finds her tied and beaten in a Tusken camp. Within moments, she dies in his arms. Enraged, he slaughters the entire Tusken community; men, women and even children. Back at Coruscant, Yoda senses a terrible darkness in the Force as the slaughter continues (Qui-Gon Jinn's voice can also be heard saying "Anakin, Anakin, No!" during this scene). Anakin then brings his mother's body back to the homestead, where her funeral is held.
On Geonosis, Obi-Wan overhears a meeting between Count Dooku and the leaders of the commerce guilds, and learns that they are behind the separatist movement and have built up a new droid army. He also learns that it was Nute Gunray who ordered the assassination of Amidala, as revenge for the defeat of the Trade Federation at the Battle of Naboo. Obi-Wan transmits his findings to the Council, relayed by way of Anakin and Padme's ship, though he is surrounded by droidekas and captured before he can finish his report.
Now that the Jedi Council knows of Dooku's army, Jedi Master Mace Windu leads a team to Geonosis. Unbeknownst to them, Anakin and Padmé also make their way there to rescue Obi-Wan. Meanwhile, Representative Binks calls for Chancellor Palpatine to be given emergency powers, with which he can call the recently discovered clone army into battle.
Back on Geonosis, Count Dooku tries to persuade Obi-Wan to join him, warning him that Darth Sidious is now in control of the Senate. Obi-Wan refuses to believe him, saying that the Jedi would have known if that was the case. Anakin and Padmé arrive on the planet, but are quickly captured by Jango Fett and sentenced to death, joining Obi-Wan in the Petranaki arena where they are to be executed. In the high stands, Count Dooku, Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, Poggle the Lesser, Boba Fett and Jango Fett watch the start of the planned execution. They are forced to battle a reek, a nexu and an acklay. During their struggle, Mace Windu arrives with his Jedi strike team, and they battle Dooku's droid army in the arena. Upon seeing so many Jedi in one place, Jango Fett jetpack's down to the arena floor, and engages Windu. After a short struggle, Windu manages to kill Jango due to his jetpack malfunctioning, but defeat for the Jedi still seems imminent. Luckily, Yoda unexpectedly arrives with the Republic's new clone army, descending upon the arena in gunships and picking up Padmé and the surviving Jedi.
An even larger battle erupts outside the arena between the Republic's clone army and the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Nute Gunray and Rune Haako then escape in Gunray's ship Lapiz Cutter. Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser entrusts Count Dooku with the plans for the Ultimate Weapon, which are early plans for the Death Star. Dooku attempts to escape, but Obi-Wan and Anakin track him to a secret hangar, where they engage him in combat. Unfortunately, they are no match for Dooku's now-revealed mastery of the dark side and the lightsaber combat style that he employs. He fires Force lightning at Anakin, injures Obi-Wan and cuts off Anakin's right arm. Yoda appears just as Dooku is about to escape, and the two masters of the Force go head to head in a fierce duel. Dooku, realizing he can't defeat Yoda, attempts to topple a large pillar on Obi-Wan and Anakin as a distraction. While Yoda uses the Force to divert the pillar, Dooku flees in his solar sailer. Flying to an industrial sector of Coruscant, he meets up with his master, Darth Sidious, who is pleased that the war has begun as planned.
In the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan, Mace and Yoda ponder Dooku's warning that Darth Sidious is controlling the Senate. Yoda is hesitant to believe this, stating that the dark side is capable of creating fear and mistrust. He and Windu agree that they should nevertheless closely monitor the Senate. Meanwhile, Chancellor Palpatine and Onaconda Farr oversees the launching of massive clone trooper forces.
Back at Naboo, Anakin, with a new mechno-arm, and Padmé hold a secret wedding, with C-3PO and R2-D2 as the only witnesses.

Behind the scenesEdit
Principal photography lasted from June 26 to September 20, 2000. Filming primarily occurred at Fox Studios, Sydney, with additional location shooting in Tunisia desert, at the Plaza de España Seville in Spain, and in Italy at the Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como and the Caserta Palace. Pick up shots took place in Ealing Studios.
In December 2001, it was rumored that members of *NSYNC were filmed as extras in Attack of the Clones.[2] In the following days, the story gained momentum and it was reported that three band members—Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick[3]—were given parts as Jedi and Naboo citizens[4] by producer Rick McCallum.[5] Lucasfilm later confirmed the news but denied the rumor that it was done by George Lucas as a favor for his daughters, Katie and Amanda, who were fans of the band. Also, Justin Timberlake acknowledged that he and Lance Bass were not involved, but that Joey Fatone's brother Steve was.[3]
Many Star Wars fans reacted negatively to the news, many seeing this incident as further evidence of Star Wars "selling out", similar to some Star Wars fans' reactions to Jar Jar Binks or the Ewoks.[6] On January 12, 2002, a Saturday Night Live sketch showed a satirical "first look" at Attack of the Clones, wherein the movie was forced to grind to a halt to allow for *NSYNC to perform an impromptu musical number entitled "I'm a Jedi Knight in these Jedi Days."[7]
Joey Fatone later announced that the singers' parts had been cut from the film because of the negative fan reaction. However, Lucasfilm's Lynne Hale denied this, saying that it was up to Lucas, and that "the final edit of the film is what he determines it will be."[8]
Major musical themesEdit
Box-office performanceEdit
The film grossed $310,676,740 in the United States and $338,721,588 overseas, a huge financial success which nevertheless was overshadowed by the even greater box-office success of The Phantom Menace. Also, it was not the top grossing film of the year, the first (and only) time a Star Wars film has not had that distinction. The films that out-earned it were Spider-Man, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, which all enjoyed a more favorable critical reception as well.
Critical reactionEdit
Initial reviews of the film were mixed, with general admiration for the action sequences and special effects, and criticism of the more traditional cinematic elements such as character development and dialogue, particularly with respect to the relationship between Padmé and Anakin. The marketing of the film reacted to this by downplaying the subplot by the time of the DVD release and emphasizing Yoda's popular fight scene.
The dialogue was noted to be "leaden" and "flat" by critics. The acting was also disparaged by some critics for these same characteristics.
Fans consider the visual effects superior to The Phantom Menace; many were pleased to see that Jar Jar Binks plays only a minor role. He, in fact, makes an emotional appeal to the Galactic Senate (during Senator Amidala's absence) in support of granting Palpatine emergency powers, quietly laying some of the guilt on his shoulders. Also, Jar Jar's attempts at comic relief seen earlier were toned down, with C-3PO reprising some of his bumbling traditions in that role.
Many fans have also voiced complaints about the way the movie is edited, in particular that the frequent crosscutting of plots prevents the buildup of momentum.
DVD releaseEdit
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones was released on DVD in November 2002, with certain elements edited or added in by George Lucas that make the DVD a slightly different version from its theatrical release.

Blu-ray releaseEdit
The film was released on Blu-ray in September 2011.[9]
Deleted scenesEdit
A book version of the movie was written by R. A. Salvatore. It includes scenes created by Salvatore and unique to the novel. The book's Prologue describes Anakin, while flying to Ansion with Obi-Wan, having a nightmare of his mother turning into glass and shattering. The following pages relate the events leading up to Shmi Skywalker's capture by Tusken Raiders and Cliegg Lars's loss of his leg while attempting to rescue her. These scenes give a more detailed insight into Shmi's life on the moisture farm and her relationships with Cliegg, Owen, Beru, and C-3PO than can be provided in the film. Interspersed with these events are scenes of Senator Amidala on Naboo prior to her departure for Coruscant to vote on the Military Creation Act. She discusses with her sister the question of retiring from politics to start a family and receives reports about the unrest (briefly mentioned in the film) among spice miners on Naboo's moons.
The book also delves more deeply than the film into the father-son relationship of Jango and Boba Fett, making Jango's death more emotionally meaningful. The first of the Boba Fett series of young adult novels draws upon this material.
References to the original trilogyEdit
- At the start of the movie, Padmé Amidala says "I shouldn't have come back." A similar line was spoken by Luke Skywalker, her son, when approaching the Forest moon of Endor, "I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come."
- A Skywalker has a limb amputated by a Sith Lord with a lightsaber (notably both arms are amputated by Darth Sidious's current apprentice) in the second movie of a trilogy. Anakin's forearm is amputated by Count Dooku (Attack of the Clones), and Luke's hand is amputated by Darth Vader (The Empire Strikes Back).
- The battle between Count Dooku and Anakin on Geonosis mirrors the battle between Darth Vader and Luke on Bespin, where a power line is cut and the lights go out and the only light comes from each combatant's respective lightsaber.
- Both this film and The Empire Strikes Back end with a momentum shift in the battle for power towards the Sith, a Skywalker getting a new arm, and a shot of a Skywalker, the female lead, and C-3PO and R2-D2 standing together looking into the distance.
- During the chase through Coruscant, after Padmé Amidala survives Zam Wesell's assassination attempt, three TIE fighters are seen chasing an X-wing starfighter.
- A character says "I have a bad feeling about this" - Anakin in the Petranaki arena. (all Star Wars films)
- Anakin is told by Palpatine to "trust your feelings". In The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader uses a similar phrase; "Search your feelings", when he is revealing to Luke that he is his father. In A New Hope, Kenobi tells Luke to "trust your feelings".
- Obi-Wan Kenobi uses a Jedi mind trick. Here, he uses it to convince a dealer to not sell him death sticks and get him to go home and rethink his life. (A New Hope).
- The hero travels to a sterile and somewhat Utopian city where he is met by a seemingly benign administrator (Lama Su in Attack of the Clones and Lando Calrissian in The Empire Strikes Back) who gives him a tour of the facilities while a future enemy is nearby. (Obi-Wan Kenobi in Attack of the Clones, and Han Solo and others from the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back) Both times, the enemy is a member of the Fett family hired by a Sith Lord.
- The hero hides from an enemy in an asteroid field. Obi-Wan hides from Jango Fett (Attack of the Clones), and Han Solo and others in the Millennium Falcon hide from the Imperial fleet (The Empire Strikes Back). Furthermore, Boba Fett is present in both situations, and the second time around, he succeeds in following the Falcon, obviously learned from his past mistakes.
- Count Dooku says to the Jedi to surrender in the Geonosis Arena so their lives could be spared, but they all refuse. In Return of the Jedi, C-3PO suggests to surrender so their lives could be spared, but the rest refuse to do so.
- R2-D2 repairs C-3PO. In addition, C-3PO asks "Yes, but is my head on straight?" when R2-D2 finishes repairing him. This is a reference to Chewbacca putting his head on backwards in The Empire Strikes Back.
- Owen Lars asks Anakin where he is going when he gets up from the table at the Lars farm after talking with Cliegg about his mother. Aunt Beru asked Luke the same question in A New Hope when he got up from the same seat some twenty-two years later. (Also, this is a reference to Steven Spielberg's blockbuster movie, Jaws, where somewhat of the same line is spoken.)
- When Cliegg Lars tells the story about the mission to rescue Shmi from the Tusken Raiders, he clearly states: "Thirty of us went out there, four of us came back". This is the exact result of the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope. The only difference is the outcome: Cliegg and his friends fail, whereas the Rebels at Yavin emerge victorious.
- As an in-joke, Jango Fett hits his head on the entrance to Slave I, a reference to the goof in A New Hope when a stormtrooper hits his head on a blast door.
- As an in-joke, Padmé's blaster makes the sound of a .44 Magnum. In A New Hope, Princess Leia's blaster can be heard to make a gun shot due to a mistake in sound editing.
- As an in-joke, an asteroid is shaped like a shaak. In The Empire Strikes Back, an asteroid is actually a potato, and another is a sneaker.
- Padmé Amidala is the best shot with a blaster; she almost never misses. This is a reference to Princess Leia Organa, who also almost never misses. In addition, Padmé gets wounded in the Battle of Geonosis, whereas Leia gets wounded in the Battle of Endor.
- Obi-Wan puts a homing beacon on Jango Fett's ship Slave I to track Jango Fett to Geonosis just before the Battle of Geonosis. This is a reference to A New Hope where Darth Vader puts a homing beacon on the Millennium Falcon to discover the location of the hidden Rebel base on Yavin IV just before the Battle of Yavin. In addition, when Slave I takes off, it reflects the departure of Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back.
- Characters from the original trilogy that make their first chronological appearance in this movie include Boba Fett (Episodes IV, V and VI), and Beru and Owen Lars (A New Hope).
- Obi-Wan tells Anakin, "Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin; they betray you." In Return of the Jedi, Luke tells this to Darth Vader, "Your thoughts betray you, Father." (Return of the Jedi).
- Anakin Skywalker's pursuit of Zam Wesell through the streets of Galactic City on Coruscant mirrors Darth Vader's pursuit of Luke Skywalker in the Death Star's trench during the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope.
- After a wild chase through Coruscant, Obi-Wan half-cynically and half-jokingly muses to Anakin, "Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?" Anakin, as Darth Vader, eventually kills Obi-Wan aboard Death Star I (A New Hope).
- In a few scenes on Tatooine, Padmé Amidala is sporting the "cinnamon bun hair" famously worn by Princess Leia Organa (A New Hope).
- During the battle on Geonosis, the Separatists are seen with the plans to their new secret weapon. That weapon is the precursor to the Death Star. (Episodes III, IV, VI).
- As a precursor to the original trilogy, the clone army has equipment and vehicles which resemble their later Imperial counterparts. Most notable: the Phase I armor employed by the clone troopers resembles the later armor employed by the stormtroopers (Episodes IV, V, VI), the Republic assault ships are the earliest incarnation of the Star Destroyer (Episodes III, IV, V, and VI), and the AT-TE walkers are the smaller predecessors of the AT-ATs (Episodes V, VI).
- Count Dooku asks Obi-Wan Kenobi to join him and says, "and together, we will destroy the Sith", but Obi-Wan replies, "I will never join you, Dooku." In The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader asks Luke Skywalker to join him, saying "join me, and we can rule the galaxy as father and son." Earlier, Luke refused a similar offer, shouting, "I'll never join you!".
- Anakin sees visions of his mother Shmi in danger. Subsequently, he abandons his assignment to protect Padmé and goes off in an attempt to rescue his mother. In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke sees visions of Han and Leia in pain, and subsequently, he abandons his Jedi training and goes off in an attempt to rescue his friends.
- Anakin takes revenge against the Tusken Raiders over the death of his mother Shmi and confesses to Padmé for doing so, beginning the path to the dark side of the Force. This alludes to the reason for the title change for Episode VI. The working title was Revenge of the Jedi, but was changed to Return of the Jedi with the rationale that the Jedi do not take revenge.
- Padmé professes her love for Anakin prior to entering a situation in which Anakin could die (the Petranaki arena). In The Empire Strikes Back, Leia professes her love for Han before he is encased in a block of carbonite.
- Count Dooku and the Geonosians threaten to have Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padmé executed, but those executions are nullified by a battalion of Jedi reinforcements led by Mace Windu. In A New Hope, C-3PO says that Princess Leia is scheduled to be executed by the Empire, but that execution is nullified with the arrival of Luke and others from the Millennium Falcon. In Return of the Jedi, C-3PO says that Jabba the Hutt has decreed to have Luke, Han, and Chewbacca executed, but those executions are nullified by Luke and Lando.
- Jango Fett nabs Anakin Skywalker and says to droidekas "Take him away!" In A New Hope, Darth Vader interrogates Princess Leia Organa and says to stormtroopers "Take her away!"
- According to the DVD audio commentary, the Jedi are about to be killed by Count Dooku when Master Yoda and a battalion of clone troopers arrive to save them. In A New Hope, Luke Skywalker is about to be killed by Darth Vader when Han Solo and Chewbacca arrive to save him.
- According to the DVD audio commentary, the night club scene on Coruscant mirrors the cantina scene in Mos Eisley on Tatooine in A New Hope. In both scenes, Obi-Wan Kenobi amputates the arm of an opponent with his lightsaber: Zam Wesell while having a drink on a bar for attempting to assassinate Padmé Amidala in Attack of the Clones, and Ponda Baba for being hostile to Luke Skywalker in A New Hope.
- A Fett serves as a bounty hunter both contracted by and in league with a Sith Lord. Jango is hired by and in league with Count Dooku (Attack of the Clones), and Boba is hired by and in league with Darth Vader (The Empire Strikes Back).
- C-3PO informs Anakin that R2-D2 is "carrying a message from an Obi-Wan Kenobi," which is a reference to when he informs Luke that he has a message "for an Obi-Wan Kenobi" from Princess Leia in A New Hope.
- On Geonosis, at the beginning of the droid factory action sequence, Anakin and Padmé walk through a door that leads to a dead end, due to a bridge not being extended. Padmé falls into the factory, and Anakin follows her. In A New Hope, their children, Luke and Leia, find themselves in a similar situation aboard the first Death Star, but Luke swings them across the chasm.
- Obi-Wan uses the spare parts in his starfighter (which is garbage) to escape Jango Fett. In The Empire Strikes Back, Han Solo and Princess Leia use the garbage to escape from the Imperial fleet.
- In the droid factory scene, the lava pouring machine (when in motion) makes the same sound as the carbon freezing machine (also when in motion) in The Empire Strikes Back. Also, R2-D2 saves Padmé from the Lava Container. In A New Hope R2-D2 stops the garbage masher just in time, saving Princess Leia and the others. Also, in The Empire Strikes Back R2-D2 saves Princess Leia and the others by activating the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon.
- As a second movie of each trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back and Attack of the Clones both have a ground battle and a space pursuit in them. They are also the only movies in their respective trilogies not to feature a major space battle.
- When Palpatine praises Count Dooku for his efforts, he says "Everything is going as planned." In Return of the Jedi, when Palpatine praises Darth Vader for his efforts, he says "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen."
- The droid serving food aboard the frigate carrying Anakin and Padmé to Naboo notices R2-D2 picking up food. The droid shouts, "Hey you! No droids! Get out of here!" This is a reference to A New Hope when Luke brings C-3PO and R2-D2 into the bar in Mos Eisley. The bartender yells to Luke that they "don't serve their kind here" while pointing at C-3PO and R2-D2.
- Anakin, like Luke, finds his remaining family dead, and both take revenge upon those who killed his family. Anakin kills the Tusken Raiders who tortured Shmi, and Luke joins the Rebellion to destroy the Empire.
- A Jedi Master battles against his former apprentice who is now a Sith Lord (notably Darth Sidious' current apprentice). Master Yoda battles against Count Dooku (Attack of the Clones), and Obi-Wan battles against Darth Vader (A New Hope).
- A Sith Lord gives a big revelation to a Jedi Knight. In Attack of the Clones, Count Dooku tells Obi-Wan Kenobi that the Senate is under the control of the Sith. In The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker that he is his father. In both films, the Jedi at first refuses to believe what is ultimately true. Anakin Skywalker confirms the former in Revenge of the Sith, and Yoda confirms the latter in Return of the Jedi.
- Someone touches another person's lightsaber in every episode for a reason other than taking the prisoner's weapon. In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan touches Qui-Gon's lightsaber after his own was knocked into the abyss. In this episode, Anakin loses control of his lightsaber when confronting Zam Wesell. In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin battles Count Dooku and manages to get Dooku's lightsaber before killing him. In A New Hope, Obi-Wan hands Anakin's old lightsaber to Luke. In The Empire Strikes Back, Han Solo uses Luke's lightsaber to cut open the frozen tauntaun to keep Luke warm. In Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader was looking at Luke's new lightsaber.
- Obi Wan uses force pull to get his lightsaber and give it to Anakin and Mace Windu uses to get it from Jango Fett. In Empire Strikes Back Luke uses force pull to get his lightsaber to free from the Wampa and also on Cloud CIty during his duel to defend himself from Darth Vader.
- R2-D2 pushes C-3PO when in the Droid Factory. In Return of the Jedi R2-D2 pushes C-3PO off the Jabba's Sail Barge.
- Obi Wan falls off one of the roof on Kamino. In The Empire Strikes Back Luke falls off the structure after his hand is cut off.
- Obi Wan stops Anakin from attacking Count Dooku by yelling "No". This reflects the scene from A New Hope, when Obi Wan stops Luke from going to his home also by yelling "No".
- C3PO says the phrase "The Maker" when Anakin and Padmé arrive at Lars Homestead. In A New Hope, C3PO says a similar phrase "Thank the maker" when having his oil bath.
For the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, Hasbro celebrated by releasing a series of six commemorative tins. The second in the series, dedicated to Attack of the Clones, contained Mace Windu, Sora Bulq, Oppo Rancisis, and Zam Wesell.

Along with whether Marmite or Bovril is the better spread, or what the meaning of life is, there are many things that people can't seem to agree on. Another is what the real universal language is; love, South Park references or French. Learn why music is the true universal language and communicate rhythmically across cultures when you pay R87.50 for one month of guitar lessons with Mezzodel.
When you're looking to pluck the strings on actual guitar rather than one of the air-variety, you need a little bit more than patience and the actual instrument. With a musical master to metaphorically hold your hand and create a more comfortable relationship between your fingers and the strings, Mezzodel is the go-to place for aspiring strummers.
Designed to help you mould your digits into rollicking weapons of rock 'n' roll and get you plucking the strings like a pro, the four one-hour lessons are led by a guitar guru with years of experience. Covering everything you need to pluck out or strum some tunes, one month of lessons will be enough to whet your appetite for learning to shred like a pro. Whether you're a musical neophyte or you just need a helping hand to get your hands comfortable with the strings, there's no one better than the maestros of Mezzodel to get you strumming with the best.

text: In the conclusion of a two-part story, Carla's hockey goalie boyfriend Eddie LeBec (Jay Thomas) goes from a sizzling winning streak to a devastating slump. Can Carla possibly be a jinx? Elsewhere, Diane (Shelley Long) is somewhat put out when attempted-murder charges are dropped in the trial in which she served as jury foreperson. What Diane doesn't know is that her well-meaning interference caused the plaintiff to have a change of heart. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
