Hmmm....

Random Star Wars questions.

Is Tatooine just really bad on the skin, because it really looks like everyone (except for Luke) ages more than twenty years between the end of Revenge of the Sith and the beginning of A New Hope. In other words, can Ewan McGregor really turn into Alec Guinness in twenty years?

And also, as much as I love the Wookies - and omg! Chewie! - what was their point in the movie?

And why is Leia a princess? Did Bail Organa become more than a senator at some point? And since Padme died at the end of RotS, does that mean that the mother she remembers, the one that was very sad, was Organa's wife? And if so, why was she so sad all of the time? That's probably the one thing that bugs me. There are hints dropped that Leia knew her mother, but now it seems that no, she really didn't. Sad.

Wow. I guess there were some plot holes, weren't there? I loved the movie, I really did, but that makes me sad. Especially when I think about how much better it would have been with really excellent, capable writers. Let Lucas be the creative mind, but let someone else write it.

Anyway. Spanish Final!

Yay! I get to answer!

1. Well, think about it, all sand, no shade, and two suns... I am surprised they don't all have skin cancer

2. Wookies rock, but there point was more just to be on of the worlds affected by the death of the Jedi (if you noticed, almost all the Wookies were killed) And also, it was a bit of star wars style fan service (kinda like Jango Fett was, with the little Bobba Fett) Both those characters, Chewie and Bobba Fett are fan loved characters, and because you never knew much about them in the originals, it was easier to expand and put them in the prequels

3. Bail Organa is the 'king' of Alderan along with being a senator, and it was dropped as a very slight hint that the mother Leia was referring to in the original movies was Bail's wife. And yes, I thought it was Padme that she talking about too at first... which I think would have been a bit better, but at the same time, if Padme had survived past childbirth (which Alec I believe tells Luke that she does die in that fashion) wouldn't Vader be able to 'feel' her though the force? And we can assume that he tried to look for her, and was possibly looking in on the funeral.

*ahem* no, I'm not a star war's geek... (Good luck with your final!)

You rock! Best answers.

1. You're right. Maybe there is a secret health spa beneath all of that sand? The people from Dune are running it.

2. They do rock. And I'm not complaining about them, 'cause I got seriously geeky over them. I was all "omg! wookie!" (And did you know that though Chewie does not get a medal at the end of A New Hope, he gets the last line? Yea.)

3. Okay, that makes sense. Where is this hint that you speak of? RotS or ANH? Or one of the others? 'Cause now I really want to go back and see all of the originals again. I think it would have been neat of Leia had been referring to Padme, but I also think you are completely right about Vader being able to 'feel' her through the Force. And that's another question, 'cause I can't remember. Does Vader know he's got more than one kid? I was under the impression that he only knew about Luke. But...I don't know. Wouldn't he be sort of connected? But then it would be kind of futile to hide the kids if Vader could just randomly Force-find them....I'm just thinking "out loud" now.

Oh, here's another question....If it took them twenty years to build the first Death Star, how'd they build the second one so damn fast?

You can deny your geek status, but I'm looking to you for answers! (Or at least speculation.) :D Embrace the geekiness! (Use the Force!)

Maybe the Spice ran out so they invested in a good old fashion health spa for the invading masses!

Death Star! I'll tell you!! (ahem) anyway, yes the second Death Star wasn't finished, and if you remember it was only just able to opperate.

I believe that the hint(s) are in the orignal ones, but I haven't watched them in a long time so I am not really sure anymore

and most of what you are asking are plot holes that are already filled, lucky for you, I am a geek.

Vader, already thinks that both Padme and the child are dead. He does not know that there are two of them, and he only realizes that Luke is his after being around him and and 'feeling' him up using the force. He learns about Leia through Luke and the fact that now that he (Luke) knows that Leia is his sister, he is contantly thinking about her (I mean, really, if you just realized that the chick you had a crush on and have kissed is your really your long lost sister, wouldn't you be thinking about her quite a bit??)

*dizzy* Ok, enough thinking for me, I need more sleep....

But even so, wasn't that pretty quick rebuilding? How long had the original Death Star been active at the beginning of A New Hope anyway?

I think my brother said he bought the original trilogy. So, I *will* get to rewatch them. Yea! I'm sure a lot of the questions I have after seeing Revenge of the Sith will be answered with some rewatching of the originals.

Y'know, they're not really plot holes, just stuff that I've forgotten. 'Cause everything you've mentioned, I knew on some level, y'know? It's so helpful having geeky friends! :D ::hugs::

OK, I thought that was what happened with Vader and Leia, but I couldn't remember. Remind me, how did Luke find out about Leia?

And also? It's really hard to watch the ones before he finds out because, wow, that's pervy.

>>In other words, can Ewan McGregor really turn into Alec Guinness in twenty years<<

With enough booze and drugs, anyone can morph. I mean, Jessica Simpson can be the next Elizabeth Taylor. Mind you, with ENOUGH DRUGS. hehe

You're right. Obi-wan's totally drinking and doping himself into oblivion because it's his fault there's another evil overlord with whacky fashion sense on the loose.

You just had to use Elizabeth Taylor as an example. She almost scares me as much as Michael Jackson. ::shudder:: And I did not just get the scary image of Ewan turning into Liz in twenty years. No, I really didn't.

Sometimes my brain scares me.
