ForeverNight Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Uh, no, they're midgets. They're bodies were in proportion to their limbs and height as opposed to dwarves, which are out of proportion. Anyway, yes, they Empire should've just glassed the planet and reinforced the bunker HEAVILY with more than just Stormies, AT-ST's and AT-AT's... like maybe an entire Air/Space Wing and mines and all that fun stuff?

Darth Avlectus Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Uh, no, they're midgets. They're bodies were in proportion to their limbs and height as opposed to dwarves, which are out of proportion. Maybe so far as EU is concerned, yes, however go look up the real life names, like the one I mentioned several posts back on the ROTJ cast--those actors were in fact dwarfs with out of proportion limbs to bodies. Anyway, yes, they Empire should've just glassed the planet and reinforced the bunker HEAVILY with more than just Stormies, AT-ST's and AT-AT's... like maybe an entire Air/Space Wing and mines and all that fun stuff? Why not have just blown up Yavin 4 years before that? Sure the first Death Star's capacitors/batteries/whatever storage may have needed to recharge but I assure you explosion + fragments + the sudden screw up in gravity would have killed the rebels in their base where they hid. I know at least one wisecrackin' guy (Samnmax221) who would back that up. The whole fleet was still there anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 To be Honest I like the Whole Original trilogy, Ewoks and all... But, 30 Years, The Prequels and several TV Spin-offs has shown me that maybe George didn't have as much Control over the first Two Films as we are led to believe? You see, since 1983, every Chance GL has had to "Personally" Oversee Star Wars, It has been low-brow, Muppet show stuff. Maybe He planned to Have the Fraggles and Kirmit in ANH but the studio LOL'd? anyhoo, as us EU fans are often told "If GL says the Ewoks took out a garrison of the Galaxies best Soldiers then they did!1" I guess they did... It's questionable, but the Epic scenes on a certain Orbiting Battle Station, more than Make up for the Furry faux pas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think that he had pretty much total creative control over ANH, but I believe that at the time he was much more interested in making a good film than he was in making money. It was after the focus changed to merchandising, and when he started trying to appeal directly to children and relying on special effects over film-making basics such as plot, dialog and character development, that it all went down the toilet. The unfortunate result was a series of shallow, petty films that no mature adult can take seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
