Life on the Planet
Geonosis looks like a hive planet. Consider the behavior of insects in a hive when thinking of Geonosis. The insectoid life forms that live here have been driven underground by solar radiation storms. The buildings on the planet look like termite mounds, and are made of mud and rock, so the planet appears to be uninhabited. This makes Geonosis a good place to hide, and an asset in war.
What Happens Here
The droid factory for the separatists is here, and Count Dooku captures Obi Wan Kenobi here. Anakin and Padme come from Tatooine to save him, and are forced to fight fierce creatures in an arena, while the Geonosians are entertained by it. The clone army comes and “saves” the Jedi from the droids, but this is an ironic twist, since the clone army will turn out to be the storm troopers the Empires uses to keep the galaxy under control.
What the Planet Could Symbolize
Geonosis, along with Kamino, symbolizes the conformity needed to form an Empire. When Padme falls onto the droid assembly line, she must run to avoid being “stamped” by the droid factory. This symbolizes the struggle of the individual in a society that would demand absolute conformity. Remember that Padme is a particularly independent woman: she voted against the clone army, fought the trade federation with no help from the Senate, and married Anakin in secret.
I'm Taylor. This is my classroom. There used to be a "real" teacher behind this blog, but she nagged me all the time about not saying this and not saying that. ~all she ever did was type anyway, since my fingers are stuck together~ So I've taken over.
Yes, I'm an imitation Barbie knock-off doll. What of it? Barbie's got nothing on me! Let me take you to school.
