Jocasta Nu, Jedi Librarian

Here’s an excellent short piece on the library and librarian in Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones, with a link to a ridiculously detailed video about the Jocasta Nu action figure. (Sample quote: “This [light saber hilt] does have the little hook on the end of it where it could have possibly attached to a belt, but she doesn’t have the little hole in the side so she can’t attach it to her belt…”)
Jennifer, author of the piece, rightly complains about the poor quality of the reference interview between Jocasta Nu and Obi-Wan. She holds herself back from making a fuss about the fact that the library shelves appear to be filled with bands of light, sooo futuristic except that, apparently, you have to go to the library in order to access these digital texts.
Thanks, Daniel M. Shapiro!
