10 Most Confusing Scenes In Star Wars History

10. Why Did Padmé Possess A Magic Button? - Episode II: Attack Of The Clones

Time and time again, George Lucas' pride-and-joy has let loose some of the most fascinating and mind-blowing sci-fi technology ever to grace a cinema screen over the years.

Yet, even with this being the same galaxy that boasts eternally cool lightsabers, healing bacta tanks, and cybernetic limbs, some still struggled to understand how Padmé Amidala managed to come into possession of a magic all-in-one button during the events of Attack of the Clones.

With Obi-Wan Kenobi asking padawan Anakin Skywalker and Padmé to patch him through to the Jedi Council whilst the pair were aboard a Naboo yacht, Amidala does so by pressing a specific button on the ship's control panel.

So far, so simple enough.

But then, moments later, Padmé presses the exact same button to perform an entirely different command; that being to bring up a map of the galaxy highlighting how far away Geonosis is.

Is this the most convenient ship ever created? One that is entirely controlled by the tapping of one accessible button? Or perhaps Lucas simply hoped fans wouldn't notice that Natalie Portman either tapped the exact same key for two different shots, or the director actually recycled the same moment for two separate close-ups.
