The two Lessers had personally watched only three Geonosians survive the petrana-ki and all three had finished up with their backs to the pillars, using them for protection; the conclusion was obvious.
Even for Geonosians, their faces bore a marked similarity of type, and well they should have; the newcomer was Fac’s gene brother, Rit, the only other Sun left.
Geonosian labour drones were sent out despite the dull weather to repair any weakened portions of the hive exteriors and the dry waterways that channeled away any potential flash-flooding that might find its way inside the colony were carefully inspected.

 Capital punishment - Questionz.net , answers to all your questions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Capital punishment, also referred to as the Death penalty, is the judicially ordered execution of a prisoner as a punishment for a serious crime, often called a capital offence or a capital crime.
Nearly all actual executions for juvenile crime take place in the USA, although, due to the slow process of appeals, no one under age 19 has been executed since at least 1964.
Many executions are botched and the executed suffer extended pain in dying, and even those who die instantly suffer extreme mental torture leading up to and during the preliminaries of the execution process.

 Star Wars: Databank | Geonosis execution arena
Inspired by the brutal contests found in ancient Rome, the Geonosian arena was an environment far removed from previous Star Wars settings.
Though Episode I had the Mos Espa Grand Arena, its architectural style of repeated curves and patterns easily facilitated the addition of digital extras to provide a sense of teeming audience.
The Episode II arena was markedly different, with almost random organic shapes carved from the living rock.

The lightsaber was obtained by Pic during the execution of Qu Rahn, who had carried the lightsaber as a memento of his former Master.
Picadors were revered in that they maintained the collection of unusual beasts used in gladiator-style executions, such as acklays and nexu.
The picador caste was unique in that a Geonosian from any other caste could become a picador if they could prove themselves in the battle arena.

 Michael Crawford's Review of the Week
The ‘love’ story is poorly executed, poorly directed, and won’t be going down as a great moment in either Portman or Christiansen’s careers.
As the Geonosians flew to the Arena, I expected to hear the cackle of the Wicked Witch of the West
In particular, the Geonosian dialect and the Cloners speech patterns were excellent, and fit the characters extremely well.

Octavian was responsible for the deaths of several hundred political opponents well before he was granted tribunician powers, and the civil war between Palpatine and the Republicans in the Galactic Senate vaguely resembles the civil war between the Triumvirs, although the former is less morally ambiguous.
The origin of the term is that it was originally employed by the Geonosians.
The beastlike creatures approach from the arena door, and attack and eat the condemned persons in the manner of a wild beast.

When Anakin and Padmé first enter the corridor with the Geonosians, they immediately get attacked, which gives very little time for the atmosphere of their surroundings to be created for the audience.
Second, what we hear throughout most of the execution is not music, but a constant beating of some kind of drums accompanied by what sounds like a fog horn.
As for the music during the execution, keep some of the drumming, but also add a bit of music here and there to make it more interesting and more professional.

 WOOKIEEhut: The Count of Serenno
The Geonosian guards had sat the Senator in a chair, but her arms were bound behind her, the wrists shackled to the chair itself.
She was sorely tempted to remove the restraints completely, but realized the Geonosians would simply replace them if they found her unrestrained, and would immediately suspect she had a tool that could unlock the shackles.
Though she was incredibly uncomfortable, at least she wasn't in real pain, and the Geonosians had promised a quick application of her sentence.

Having crafted an entire fighting style defining the prime of the Jedi for The Phantom Menace, stunt coordinator Nick Gillard returns to duty for Attack of the Clones.
Gillard calls the process of describing in detail the precise movements of the battles, “writing the lightsaber fights.” “On other films, the fights are simply choreographed, but we needed something more for Attack of the Clones,” he explains.
Another Knoll-supervised sequence is set inside a massive Geonosian arena, where our heroes battle three monsters new to Star Wars: the bull-like reek, the lion-esque nexu, and the acklay, a crustacean-like creature.

The writing style is quick, but still gives you plenty of details that the movie lacked.
R.A.'s writing style is not very fluid and he doesn't add to any of the elements found in the movie.
With his style of writing, and previous work within the Star Wars universe, it was probably pretty easy for Lucasfilm to get Salvatore to pen the second movie.

 Star Wars: Count Dooku
Dooku met with Kenobi in the Geonosian dungeons, and revealed to Obi-Wan the truth about the Republic -- that it was, in fact, becoming increasingly under the control of Darth Sidious.
Kenobi was soon joined by Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala, who had come to Geonosis in an ill-fated attempt to rescue him.
Dooku placed the three captive heroes in an execution arena, but their deaths were staved off by the timely arrival of Jedi reinforcements.

Granted, he had a very smooth, slick style, but there didn’t really seem to be any challenge that allowed him to show his skills.
Supposedly, he was to have been a master of an old, regal style of lightsaber combat, but I couldn’t see it in the movie.
Only twice did I actually notice it, and hear where it swelled, and made the movie more interesting: as Padme and Anakin are led into the arena to be executed, and on Coruscant, where all the Clone Troopers are being loaded onto transports, and a wonderful rendition of the Imperial March is playing.

These new Star Wars entries certainly are curious beasts – state of the art technical marvels on one level, yet incredibly old fashioned in their filmic style, scripting and acting.
At times its like watching those old vistavision sword and sandal epics of the 50s, when directors - baffled by what to do with this strange new format - simply rooted their actors to strategic points of the frame and allowed them to pontificate at each other across endless minutes of uninterrupted master shot.
Obsessed by turning all his Star Wars movies into one cohesive saga, he is on record as saying that he wants them all to have a consistent visual style; which means of course that they basically have to be filmed to the conventions of 1976, when the first one started rolling in Tunisia.
