I really hope I am the only one who noticed this, because it's stupid and ruins a scene. When Anakin finds his mother in custody of the sand people, just before she dies she tries to say "I love you" once or twice, and I just started laughing because she sounded just like Sir Love-A-Lot when Homer was stomping on it in the trash (when it kept popping up mumbling "I... love... you!"). Totally ruined the flow of the scene, but hilarious at the time.

Actually it's the Tusken raiders, not the sand people.

Umm...okay. I found other things in AOTC that were somewhat humorous, but not that scene. To each his own.

There were things there that were unintentionally funny. Like when Anakin was having a nightmare. The way his arm was moving under the sheets and he was moaning, it looked like he was masturbating. The audience I saw it with were all laughing. And then in the next scene, Natalie Portman says "I heard you last night", which got even more laughs.

Actually it is Tusken Raider. The ACLU and the NAACP consider it derogatory to use the "Sandpeople" word.

No, both terms are still acceptable to describe the nomadic inhabitants of Tatooine regardless of the opinons of the ACLU and NAACP. The term Sandpeople is used in Episode IV, effectively making it acceptable that particular group.

I thought the Sand People was a name for the Jawas (the little midgets in monk's robes who run the huge sandcrawlers), not the Tusken Raiders. Or was it the other way 'round?
