Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones/IMDB Corrections

## Audio/visual unsynchronised

1. Near the end of the movie, Count Dooku uses the force to pull the ceiling down on Yoda. When Yoda uses the force to stop the rocks and push them away, a very large piece of rock smashes against the wall without making a sound. **Yoda could have muffled the sound using the force.**

## Character error

1. When Jango hands Zane the tube with the creatures inside, he says "they're very poisonous". If something bites to kill, it is venomous, not poisonous. In order for something to be poisonous, it has to be ingested. **The two terms are commonly used interchangeably.**
2. Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) mispronounces the name of the Republic Home World. He clearly says: "Coruscanti". **This could be an alternate name.**
3. Jedi have signature clothing, instantly recognized throughout the galaxy. However, the drug dealer in the pub picks a Jedi of all people to sell him "death sticks", not even on a remote planet, but on the Republic capitol Coruscant. **The ingredients in the death sticks have likely addled his brain!**

## Continuity

1. When a Clone Trooper finds Padme after she has fallen out of the gunship on Geonosis, she tells him to get a transport ready so they can follow Anakin and Obi-Wan to Dooku's hangar. There's no way she could have know they were going there; she was unconscious when they did. **She obviously worked out that Dooku was intending to leave the planet, and that Anakin and Obi-Wan were following him.**
2. In the battle arena scene where C-3PO's head is being dragged by R2-D2, C-3PO is heard talking. On Bespin, C-3PO's voice controls were on his back and he was unable to talk until he was joined with his body as this is where power was derived. **Perhaps there was an auxiliary power pack in the head for the voice, which was later removed.**
3. When Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padmé are chasing after Count Dooku on Geonosis, Dooku's escorts shoot at them. Padmé falls from the ship holding her gun, but in the wide shot, there is no gun to be seen. **She obviously dropped it during the fall.**
4. At one point Padmé gets scratched by the Nexu and you can see the scratches and blood. However, later in the movie when she is in the gunship the holes are still in her shirt but there is no scratches or blood. **This could be due to emergency battlefield treatment from one of the clone troopers.**
5. When Obi-Wan is climbing out of his starfighter on Geonosis we see R4's head (dome) facing the front of the ship and then rotate left. The next cut, R4's head (dome) is facing forward again, and repeats the motion rotating left a second time. **R4 could be conducting multiple scans of the area.**

## Incorrectly regarded as goofs

1. When Yoda says "Concentrate all your fire on the nearest starship" he doesn't have his signature alien speech impediment. "On the nearest starship all your fire concentrate" would have been more in character. **Throughout all of the Star Wars movies, Yoda alternates between his own speech style and more conventional speech; this practice dates back to his first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back.**
2. Obi-Wan and Yoda are both shown blocking Force Lightning. Yet, for some reason, they will never teach Luke how to do so when he is about to face Sidious two decades later, **Luke only trained briefly with Obi-Wan in A New Hope and Luke left is training with Yoda before he could teach him how to block force lightning.**
3. Padmé's decoy, Corde, is seen killed in the beginning when the ship explodes, but in later scenes, we see a decoy that appears to be Corde. **The decoy we are seeing is actually a different decoy, named Dorme (remember, since Padmé's decoys obviously need to be able to impersonate her, they are naturally all going to look similar!), whom we hear her refer to by name (confirming that she IS, in fact, not Corde but a different decoy) just before she and Anakin board the freighter bound for Naboo.**
4. When Padmé is telling Anakin that she wasn't the youngest queen ever elected, she and Anakin are walking on a staircase that leads up to the castle. In the next shot when she is finishing her sentence, she is walking on a bridge. **This "montage" is an established device in filmmaking to compress scenes.**

### Plot holes

1. During Qui-Gon Jinn's funeral in the previous movie, Yoda and Mace Windu were highly concerned about the remaining Sith. However in this movie, ten years later, the issue is completely forgotten until Dooku mentions the mysterious Darth Sidious to Obi-Wan. **The apparent lack of Sith activity could have convinced the Jedi that the threat had recceded.**

### Revealing mistakes

1. The space traffic seen in the window of Palpatine's office repeats itself exactly during every scene, day or night. **Many of the vehicles likey use standardised designs.**
