HEY!I just thought of this. Did anyone ever actually tell Anakin he was believed to be the Chosen One before he went to Mustafar? That puts a whole new spin on the end of his and Obi-Wan's duel.
"YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!"
"I HATE Y-wait, what?"
"I mean, uh, you ever tried Pepsi One?"
"I HATE PEPSI ONE!"
That's a really good point...
Although I think Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan must have mentioned it somewhere along the line...
"Oh, by the way Ani..."
It's really the fault of the previous two movies. We're made to believe through the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as all the novels and comic books and the like if you want to count them, that Anakin Skywalker was a good kid that was manipulated by Darth Sidious. Which just wasn't the case. He was a whiny little ass, and his "turn to the Dark Side" was just him finally admiting he was a whiny little ass.

The part that really killed the movie for me more than anything else was when Sidious "knighted", for lack of a better term, Anakin. It was a scene that was thirty years in the making, and when it was over it was like, "Wait, what? That was retarded."It's really the fault of the previous two movies.

Gotta agree. Seeing the human side of Anakin Skywalker was supposed to make him a more sympathetic character but if anything I now feel he deserved any suffering he may have endured. He has absolutely nobody to blame but himself for everything (or I guess you could blame Destiny, but I don't think that's really fair).
Kenobi was the entire movie. The dialogue sucked in so many places but he seemed to have good lines most of the time. His wit was appropriate where it was placed. I didn't really care what happened to Anakin or Padme at the end (Padme's love just never seemed strong enough to warrant the stupid things she did).

Because of the Speed Force.

I thought about that in the theater. The guys spends half his time doubled over coughing when he is walking around, yet he was able to walk out in space with no problems, and then had the energy to go toe to talon with Obi Wan.
Another thing that really bugged me was the complete lack of realistic physics in the space battles. I mean yeah in the other movies they had some questionable stuff. The ships moves sorta like they were in the atmosphere but not completely. In this one they didnt' even pretend anymore. The little buzz-saw bots sliding off the wings like there was some sort of drag on them the landing of a cruiser that had lost 2/3 of it's mass, etc.

Any connection between the phyiscs in Star Wars and the phyiscs in real life is completely accidental.

I get what you're saying but that would be kinda lame. Also, after reading the newest issue, it seems that the writers are going for a kind of "Punisher" angle for the new Red Hood.

Everything I've seen suggests that space in Star Wars is oxygenated. The sonic bombs used by Jango Fett, the pyrotechnic explosions, the fact that so few people bother wearing space suits, the drag, Grievous walking outside....

Not to mention when Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca were running around in a "cave" with only oxygen masks on.
Even disregarding frictional force from contact with anything like an "air" in space, there's still ram force to fight. It's ram force, not frictional force/drag, that destroys nearly anything that comes into our atmosphere. Ram force is generated by contact of any two objects moving at different speeds, regardless if one of them is a fluid, unlike frictional force.
Anything moving even "kind of fast" in space terms would generate a tremendous amount of ram force were there oxygen about. Hell, it would pull planets out of their orbits.
There's another thing, too, that makes it impossible for oxygen to be all about. When the shuttle enters the atmosphere, its speed and heat force oxygen to ionize around it. Because of this, the shuttle or any other vessel cannot make radio contact with any object on Earth during reentry. Every ship in Star Wars moving with a fairly decent speed would suffer from this (and it would also have a giant white trail along it, as well).
When watching any Star Wars movie, the best thing you can do is shut your brain off and enjoy the shinies. That's what Star Wars is and always has been about. Or any other movie, for that matter.*

"Ram force"? What on earth are you talking about?
What destroys meteor in atmosphere, and causes the shuttle to heat up is friction. Friction causes drag, which puts a practical upper limit on in-atmosphere speeds. Note that friction does not require one surface to be a liquid--that's why the coefficient of friction between your tires and the driving surface is important when determining handling characteristics.

I got the phrase wrong, it's "ram pressure" (woops, CE, not ME here ). But, click and be educated. If friction were the only cause of destruction for things moving quickly through the atmosphere, then things would burn up on the leading edge only. This is not how they behave.
Think about it. Have you ever seen anything reenter ever? It breaks up into smaller pieces. Columbia didn't burn up on its leading edges only, it smashed into many pieces (which subsequently burned up on their leading edges).
And, of course friction doesn't involve liquids only. I should have clarified; I meant the kind that involves the square of velocity... drag. Not dry friction. Snugglits fucked around with this message on 05-29-2005 at 12:53 AM.
