I think Berk meant that on some level the whole jungle scene with Master Corto
was a tribute to Apocalypse Now :D

I'd like to say, I always had the sneaking suspicion that Vader's role in the whole story was to find Rei, convince her to join the dark side, then disappear
to train her until Blades. Its really reaaally nice to find out I was wrong. I'm really enjoying reading about Vader and Rei's development into master and apprentice :)

Also, even though Dooku is currently one of the good guy's... does anyone else get the feeling that he's going to get warped (or is already warped) by the temple on Naboo?
