star wars - Who were the witnesses at the marriage of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker?


Who were the witnesses at the marriage of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker?



Answer



If you are looking for who served as 'Witnesses' in the legal sense, no one, really, unless you are counting the droids, C3P0 and R2D2.


Per the old Starwars Databank, the ceremony was performed by Maxiron Agolerga, the Pontifex of the Brotherhood of Cognizance, but only the droids were in attendance, and Maxiron was advised that he had to keep the knowledge of the marriage to himself.



I'm not sure it counted as legal in most senses; they used false names:



Since Agolerga had agreed to the request, the two droids came to pick him up in a gondola speeder and brought him to Varykino across the Lake Country. The Pontifex, dressed in his holy purple garments, met the beautiful young couple that just wanted to be known as Veré and Set, two eternal lovers from an old Futhork legend.


The matrimony was short and by the power invested by the Pontifex, Set and Veré were pronounced husband and wife. When Agolerga was about to leave, the groom waved his hand and spoke kindly to him that nobody could ever be told about this marriage. And thus the only remaining evidence was an official scroll containing their "names" to be classified in the archives of the Brotherhood.



But lets be honest- I don't think they cared. Witnesses and names are part of how the marriage is made legal; they didn't care about they legal status of the marriage, they were getting married 'for them.'


I don't know how 'canon' this is considered, but I believe it is consistent with what we saw in the movies.


I believe there may be more info in the Novelization of Attack of the Clones, but I don't have a copy to verify that with.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
