Michael Kaminski , in The Secret History of Star Wars , offers evidence that issues in Anakin 's fall to the dark side prompted Lucas to make massive story changes , first revising the opening sequence of the third prequel , Revenge of the Sith ( 2005 ) , to have Palpatine kidnapped and his apprentice , Count Dooku , killed by Anakin as the first act in the latter 's turn towards the dark side . After principal photography was complete in 2003 , Lucas made even more massive changes in Anakin 's character , re-writing his entire turn to the dark side ; Anakin 's fall from grace would now be motivated by a desire to save his wife , Padmé Amidala , rather than the previous version in which that reason was one of several , including that he genuinely believed that the Jedi were plotting to take over the Republic . This fundamental re-write was accomplished both through editing the principal footage , and new and revised scenes filmed during pick - ups in 2004 . | who does anakin skywalker fall in love with | Padmé Amidala |

The traditional incision approach of vasectomy involves numbing of the scrotum with local anesthetic ( although some men 's physiology may make access to the vas deferens more difficult in which case general anesthesia may be recommended ) after which a scalpel is used to make two small incisions , one on each side of the scrotum at a location that allows the surgeon to bring each vas deferens to the surface for excision . The vasa deferentia are cut ( sometimes a section may be removed altogether ) , separated , and then at least one side is sealed by ligating ( suturing ) , cauterizing ( electrocauterization ) , or clamping .

Circulation in Jupiter 's atmosphere is markedly different from that in the atmosphere of Earth . The interior of Jupiter is fluid and lacks any solid surface . Therefore , convection may occur throughout the planet 's outer molecular envelope . As of 2008 , a comprehensive theory of the dynamics of the Jovian atmosphere has not been developed . Any such theory needs to explain the following facts : the existence of narrow stable bands and jets that are symmetric relative to Jupiter 's equator , the strong prograde jet observed at the equator , the difference between zones and belts , and the origin and persistence of large vortices such as the Great Red Spot . | what physical effect causes circulation in the atmosphere of jupiter | convection |
The longest field goal kick in NFL history is 64 yards , a record set by Matt Prater on December 8 , 2013 . The previous record was 63 , originally set by Tom Dempsey and then matched by Jason Elam , Sebastian Janikowski , and David Akers . High school , college and most professional football leagues offer only a three - point field goal ; however , some professional leagues have encouraged more rare kicks through four - point field goals . NFL Europe encouraged long field goals of 50 yards or more by making those worth four points instead of three ( much like Australian rules ' Super Goal or basketball 's three - point line ) , a rule since adopted by the Stars Football League . Similarly , the sport of arena football sought ( unsuccessfully ) to repopularize the drop kick by making that worth four points ; it failed , since only one kicker ( Brian Mitchell ) was able to do it with any semblance of proficiency . ( In six - man football , where there is no offensive line , all field goals are worth four points instead of the usual three . ) | who holds the record for the longest field goal | Matt Prater |
