Topic: Episode 2 Deep Thought for Today

In Star Wars, ships cruising in hyperspace can take upwards of a day to go from one place to another (if not longer). At the start of Episode 2, Amidala is riding in a starfighter, hanging onto the hyperspace "wake" of the transport ship carrying her decoy.

And yet...Her pants have no convenient fly. How does she use the potty in a cramped starfighter?

1. Where? No fly.
2. Where'd they get the extra room? Cramped cockpit.
3. How did they make with the poopies? And the wipies?

So you're saying Senator Amidala was pinching a loaf?

Actually, hyperspace can take weeks. A ship bouncing from Coruscant to the Outer Rim won't be around for about a week or two.

Lots of women wear those pants that have no zipper/buttonfly. They just slip them down :P

In the time period that Star Wars takes place, humanity has evolved to the point that it doesn't have to go to the bathroom.

I'm not too familiar with Star Wars cosmology, but as I understand it, humans have evolved on several planets besides Corusant (among other ramifications of this, the 'Galactic' Empire would have been not just horribly but impractically racist, since almost all of its officers were human. Therefore, I guess that Nabooian humans have evolved different excretory functions then most humans.

If that's wrong then I'm guessing the pants are actually made out of some sort of material that allows them to have a fly but not look like they have a fly; like, she just taps it and it 'opens'.

good mogs I spent too much time on this.

...or maybe they dropped out of hyperspace before hitting Coruscant, launched her ship, then jumped the last twenty seconds?

It's quite simple: People in movies or TV shows never have to use the bathroom unless it's part of the plot.

It takes place in the past, but in Star Wars I believe their civilization is something like millions of years old or something.

They're Humans. But they're also not from Earth.

Though trying to figure out how to link a race from a FANTASY MOVIE that someone MADE UP to real things is like trying not to laugh at one of Azizza's political and/or wanna be a pimp posts.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Does anyone have a galactic map showing Naboo and Coruscant?

I can't find one, personally, but Naboo may be extremely close.

Naboo is near Rodia and Bothanwu, along the Corellian Run.

And JooJoo doubted me.

In the little yellow "current feature" box is a good map. (edit: it's the same map Tarq posted, actually, you can just zoom in on the sectors)

It's interactive. Can zoom in on areas and everything. Took me a bit to load though. There's also a non interactive one that is pretty detailed.

Well, if you watch the fruit floating scene when Amadala and Anakin have gone back to Naboo for her protection...

It's obvious that the food is fake. I mean there is no weight to the bite. She barely touches it with her teeth and a bite sized area disappears.

So conveiently enough... they don't eat; so, they don't need to unload any brown magazines from the 'Eater's Digest' truck.

The rest of the movie after Padme shows up in that backless, shoulderless, and damned near sideless outfit on Naboo is pretty much a blur to me....

She's wearing a piece of tissue paper fastened around her neck and she tells Anakin "We can't do this..."
