But we do. It churned out two massive entire armies—a robot one and a clone one—complete with starships and stuff. The Trade Federation, etc, are part of the Republic .

Nah, the Separatists aren’t in that film. It’s just the Trade Federation blockading Naboo. Pretty small scale. Dooku and the Separatists are introduced in the next film. Also… Separatists implies a civil war of various systems leaving the Republic but we never really see that. We see a droid...

Both knew that Palpatine was their boss. The Separatists knows that Palpy is pulling their strings because they are run by Dooku, Palpatine's apprentice, using a droid army commisioned by the Trade Federation, who were under Palpatine's thumb since TPM. The Republic knows that Palpy is pulling...

I think the issue with this is that prior to TPM, the Republic doesn't have an army. When Palpatine manufactures the droid army threat, his campaign is to build the Republic an army to defend against it. The two armies wouldn't be fighting against a Republic army. They'd be fighting a handful...

End of RotS. I finished watching it again about an hour ago. Kenobi leaves Anakin for dead. They hide the twins from Palpatine, not Vader. I might watch Kenobi next. See if he’s surprised about Vader. I did watch it when it came out but I don’t remember it well.

I suppose to be fair to them, they thought Anakin was dead. Kenobi didn’t find out he was still alive until years later. Not a great defence, admittedly, but it’s only 90% stupid not 100%.

Well, in a cave a few miles away. Unlike ‘Amidala’ is just 3 feet away from Padme. Kenobi’s not making a lot of effort, but he’s making more effort than Padme!

His clothing isn’t that dissimilar to that of the Lars family and even the sandpeople. I am 100% sure that the original intent not be that that was a Jedi uniform.

I think the bigger headscratcher is that all Jedi wear Tattooine desert robes.

I guess. But at least Kenobi is —nominally — in hiding. Amidala is standing right next to her decoy, who introduces her as Padme!

I don't know how accurate it is, but according to this she was Padmé Naberrie, and the name Amidala was added as a 'regnal' name to make it Padmé Amidala Naberrie. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Padm%C3%A9_Amidala Both ways, her first name is still Padme, and everybody would know that. So...

We’re talking about the guy who built the Death Star to dominate the galaxy through fear. He’s quite content to use power as his legitimacy. Well clearly not! Star Wars very famously tells the story of the resistance. :)

My questions are all answered!

Maybe? Dunno! Sure. I feel our definitions of "clear" are not the same, as I don't find that clear at all. Maybe I'm not very clever (which is very possible) but I just watched it and came to a completely different conclusion to you. He--as Chancellor--has the clone army of the Republic. His...

I don't know if we did, but the characters in the film certainly did. I don't care about realism. It's all magic laser swords and magic powers. I just don't want them to look weak and ineffectual. Be as unrealistic as you like, but look good doing it.
