If the first thing they're asking for is a pay range, then something's completely screwed up right there. I finally had to tell my new job how much I was expecting. My friend told me to ask for xx, and I asked for that. They gave it to me.

Episode I featured a two-minute depiction of life in the Galactic Senate in an attempt to demonstrate the Old Republic's dysfunction. That scene also revealed that Lucas doesn't understand how legislatures function, what bureaucrats are, why legislative parties form, the function of the media, etc., but it still attempted to show institutional behavior.
