guybroom Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I have recently thought of many SW questions I want to ask, the thing about them that is a big anoying is that most have one quick answer. This means there is hardly any point of starting a new thread for each one. So I have started this thread. I also figured that I can't be the only one to have questions like is, so while I can ask mine, you can all ask your own too. You can ask about any of the films, but preferably not the EU. (I am not sure if there is already a thread like this one, I hope not!!!. I also hope I put this in the right section of the forum) 1) In AOTC, when Anakan has just come back to the house on Tatooen (sp?), he is fixing the speeder (or what ever it is), there is a grey curcular thing with moving lines on it - What is it? There is also a green thing underneath that - what is that? 2) How long did it take to build the first and/or second death star? 3) When Emperer Palpatine fell down the chute thing after fighting Luke and Vader, where would he end up? 4) Same question as 3 but about Darth Maul when he was killed by Obi-Wan. 5) What speices is the thing in the sand on Tatooen that Han, Luke, Chewey etc would have been fed to? 6) Except for Jedis and Siths, what other religions/faiths are there in the SW univers. 7) What were the events that led upto TPM? (ie, the trade federation's attack on Naboo) I think that is enough for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 3 - Vaporized in the reactor core. 4 - Same thing. 5 - Sarlacc 6 - Many, many, many, many, many, many....yeah. 7 - The Republic and Federation were disputing the taxation of trade routes and the Federation decided to blockade the planet Naboo so nothing could be shipped to them. It was a political standoff, the Federation wouldnt budge until their demads were met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 4). i'm pretty sure i seen this in that locations of episode I book where they show the theed hanger in a cross section view, i 'm pretty sure he just fell a really long way down. i dont remember it being a core of any kind. i'll have to look it up.

DarthMuffin Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 6) Can the force be considered as a Religion? They don't have a god, and they don't worship The Force. Jedi and Sith are special people who can control the force. I don't think it can be considered as a religion. 7) Like JediNyt said. Also, you have to keep in mind that everything was planned by Palpy so that he could force the queen to make him the new chancellor. If you already knew about that, sry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already knew about that, sry He didn't force the queen to make him the new chancellor, in fact, she doesn't have that much power in the Senate to even appoint anyone to Chancellor. A Supreme Chancellor must be voted into office by the Senate. However, Palpatine did seek to use his ties with Naboo (as I understand it, it was his homeworld too and he was the Nubian Ambassador at the time in the Senate) to gain symphaty among the other senate members so that once Valorums ineffective decission-making was revealed and Queen Amidala gave her vote of no confidence in Valorum, would win the most votes to succeed him.

Jedi and Sith are special people who can control the force. I don't think it can be considered as a religion. I am sure that at some point on the millenium falcon, probably when Ben is training Luke with the flying droid thing (you know the bit I mean - "With the blast shield down I can't even see, how am i suppost to fight...") Han says something about crazy religions. He is talking about Jedis and siths. I have more questions: in Ep 2, how does Padame get out of the chains she is in in the areana at the end? In Ep 4 in Mos Eisely, C3PO and R2D2 lock themselves behind a door to hide from stormtroopers, what is on the other side of the door? Jawa juice is a drink people have, is it atually made out of Jawas or made by Jawas or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomie Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Is there any reason as to why did the Empire make a shaft in the second Death star big enough to fit a ship? I mean, that thing had many obstacles, no torpedo could get past it, so if they made it smaller, they would have been unstoppable. Is there any reason except to make the good guys win? In Ep 4 in Mos Eisely, C3PO and R2D2 lock themselves behind a door to hide from stormtroopers, what is on the other side of the door? A storage room, i think. Otherwise they would've gotten kicked out. Jawa juice is a drink people have, is it atually made out of Jawas or made by Jawas or what? Well, of course they're not gonna drink Jawa's, and jawa's aren't exactly clean, so i can't imagine anyone woudl want to drink things they touched. I guess it's just a name.

El Sitherino Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I assume they made it large enough for ships so that they could send repair ships in there to do maintanence if stuff goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomie Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Well, yeah but it just doesn't sound like the best solution to me... Anyway, i have more questions. How can the millenium falcon ''outrun the big correlian ships'' when every ship has a hyperdrive? Why does Han mention lightspeed, while it's hyperspace? what are the big correllian ships and what do they look like? If the Falcon really is that fast, how come all the rebel fighters can keep up with it when they enter hyperspace to fight the second death star? And why is Vader the dark lord of the sith when palpy is more powerful? Why can teddybears with spears defeat the best equipped, best trained soldiers of the galaxy?

Deeo Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I think Han meant the Corellian ships as in the Star Destroyers chasing him down. Also, remember that ANH was the very first Star Wars movie and many things weren't concrete at the time. ESB and ROTJ pretty much fleshed out all the terms and such.

Doomie Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Yes, they should redo those scenes to make them fit in with the rest. (but they shouldn't alter important stuff. Han shoots first!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomie Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Oh, i think you're not the only one. Most people probably found it a very sad scene. And if finding vader cool is also considered being with the bad guys, i am too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark jedi 8 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 hans ship has a .5 class hyperdrive wheras the imperial star destroyers and most big corellian ships (at least the military ones) have a class 1 hyperdrive. so hans ship is technically faster. and the rebel ships could probably keep up with it b/c either they have a really good hyperdrive or the falcon has different levels on its hyperdrive so it can let the other fighters keep up with it.

If there was no way for the rebellion to get in to destroy it, they woulnd't have been lured there to try, and the Emperor's plan of crushing the rebellion in one swift stroke would have been ruined.

Darth Rythe Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I GOT ONE!!! In ep6, when Luke is running away from the one arm wampa, why does his lightsaber not turn of when you hear the sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Rythe Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Yes it is just a mistake. Also when Qui-gon and Obi-wan are in the conference room and they activate their sabers, they do you about 2 times each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 hey this is where it got to. They said it was moving, but it was still in the OT section!!! I don't normaly look in the cantina, but i'll have to start. Any way, when he was made chanceller, did palpatine know about everything that went on, because I recon he knew Ani loved padame and he then years later when ani would really want to see her again and would try to get involved with padame, he is called in to help her. So was this all planed, or was it coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Marin Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Originally posted by Darth Rythe I GOT ONE!!! In ep6, when Luke is running away from the one arm wampa, why does his lightsaber not turn of when you hear the sound? There are several sound errors in the movie. For example: there are a few cases where a rebel starfighter fires and the guns make the sound that a TIE Fighter's guns usually make. Also, in ANH Leia's blaster emits the sound of a real gun.

He was made Chancellor by his own mischeivious (sp?) work. He controlled the Trade Federation Remember (as Sidious) ? By doing so, he could gather enought sympathy from the senate to kick Chancelor Valorum and be elected in his place (as Palpatine). That was pretty much the point of episode I... In Episode II, he threthened Padmé (through Jango/Zam) so she would need some protection... Knowing Anakin's feeling for her he suggested Obi-Wan should be protecting her... along with Anakin. He knew Anakin's feelings would throw him off balance and away from the right path, thus making him vulnerble and much easier to turn to the dark side... On the other hand he controls the separatists (as Sidious) and the Republic (as Palpatine). So by creating a threat to the republic Palpy received the emergency powers and create a gigantic army that would later on be used to wipe out all the jedi (episode III ?). So he had forseen everything. So far ep I and II all happened accordingly to Palpy/Sidious' master plan... and that's was I find so interesting about the prequels.
