That was a masterful slice-and-dice job. And this is the most coherent explanation of the "plot" of this movie I've ever read. Congratulations!

<<Amidala>>

Lucas missed a bet not naming her "Amygdala" since SOMEwhere in here, emotion was required.

PS Her mom was named.....wait for it....Mommydala

What happened to Carrie Fisher- in the movie, I mean. Is this before, during or after her life?

My brain hurts. I didn’t even understand the first Star Wars movie, which was really the third movie. Or was it the forth? Or the Force?

Thank you for sitting through this so that I didn’t have to.

Carrie will be born two films from now, at the end of Revenge of the Sith. It doesn't seem to help.

Ohh-kay. So, this is the first movie in a trilogy to be named later, before the previous trilogy. Which took place later. Which amounts to 2 or 3 hours of backstory for the first three films or the next three films. Depending?

This is more confusing than an episode of "Bodies". :)

Midicholorian....I was so certain this would turn out to be tiny Rick Wakemans (-men?) in the blood, and that Ani would turnout a great riff on Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Y'know, to defeat the Synth Lords...
