Since Honor has an aristocracy, Weber took great pains to get things like that right.You know, I think I actually didn't notice because he got it right. As opposed to Disney where we have kings addressed as "Your Highness" and duchesses addressed as "Your Majesty" and so forth.
...You think Odo is pretty?Odo's makeup may be the
Actually, having just finished watching ROTS (I terminated the review halfway through; I started ENJOYING the film), I think Beru and Breha (or Bail and Owen, to be fair) are sterile. Bail explicitly mentions "We've always dreamed of adopting a little girl." Not having a little girl. So, he's either Senator Brad Pitt and Breha is Space Angelina Jolie... or they can't have children. And in Owen and Beru's case, well... you have to figure they'd done the deed at least once or twice, yet Luke has no older nor younger "cousins."Seriously, why does medicine suck so much in SW--especially the PT? You can die of a broken heart (or a crushed trachaea, if you believe the retcon), you can die in childbirth after a perfectly normal pregnancy, and you can't fix fertility problems--or even work around them, apparently.

you can't fix fertility problemsThe argument could be made the technology doesn't exist on Tatooine, since it's a backwater world. Or, if it is there, it's extraordinarily expensive... far out of the reach of moisture farmers.
"You're trembling." GOD DAMMIT ANAKIN IS NOT HAN SOLO AND PADME IS NOT LEIAThis might have something to do with the fact that Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher can actually carry a line and have something like chemistry.
"You are on this Council... but we do not grant you the rank of Master."Also, I know it's been retconned, but I'm still ticked off by the whole "It's never happened before" whining binge.
maybe the Organas are Christian Scientists....The hell is that supposed to mean? :/
Yeah... and he's quite obviously blindsided by Palpatine's lightning. There's refusing to turn to the dark side, and then there's "KILL ME PLS"He could have not known about the lightning.

He could have not known about the lightning.That's my point; he obviously didn't. Apparently, neither Yoda nor Obi-Wan saw fit to tell him, either.

Yoda...Well he WAS oldTrue, but Obi-Wan did fight Dooku. And Dooku used it pretty liberally. Maybe a heads up in case Luke had anyone to worry about besides Vader?

HOW DID THAT WINDOW BREAK, DAMMIT?!Don't you know Shatterpoint is Mace Windu's special power?
So, if a Jedi Master on the Council could only take two clones, how many can a barely-trained apprentice who likely found a lightsaber on the floor? Let's see... oh, George's kid kills eight. Probably only that that's George's son prevented a digital replacement with Ahsoka.This is seriously my favorite part of the film. The collective Jedi Council killed four clones. Four clones.
I know Coruscant has weather control satellites, but... it seems like all of Padme's apartment is open to the air. And she's pretty far up in the air; you'd think some wind deflectors or something... or windows.Doors. Walls. Keep out the elements, or paparazzi who might want scandalous holos of a prominent Senator? <Which considering her "ostentatiously hidden" pregnancy and her marriage to a Jedi, wouldn't be hard to find._<
"From my point of you, the Jedi are evil!"No, no, no! The Jedi are always good, no matter how morally questionable their actions may seem to you lay people!
"Well, then you are lost!"
No, he's actually got some good points about how you conduct yourselves.
"She is dying?"Star Wars medicine.
"We don't know why. She has lost the will to live."
GOOD LORD MAN, WHAT IS YOUR DEGREE IN? POETRY?!
But no, it turns out they just had really shitty medical equipment that couldn't detect throat damage but had droids that could handle human childbirth...
"We must take them somewhere where the Sith will not sense their presence."Isn't all of Alderaan supposed to be "strong in the Force" or some such? Maybe her individual signal gets...drowned out...?
"How about to a prominent Core World that's going to agitate pretty strongly against the new government?"
"Mmm, make perfect sense that does!"
Christian Scientists (capital S) are a sect who don't believe in using modern medicine, instead preferring to pray away all illnesses.They irritate me >

Which considering her "ostentatiously hidden" pregnancy and her marriage to a Jedi, wouldn't be hard to find.Well, my initial concern was more about the elements or odd out-of-control speeder. I hate to think of my Imperial characters living on Coruscant having to deal with such terrible drafts... you know, given the high wind speeds and cold air temperature at two miles up.
Don't you know Shatterpoint is Mace Windu's special power?The novel spends a good deal of time on it, actually. Curiously, he doesn't look at the
And sorry, thought you were trashing Christians (ran into that quite a bit while I was gone :/)I figured; I didn't think you were a CS.
News to me.Only thing I could think of that would 'disrupt' any thing would be the Killiks.

Hey, there's that droid built by Darth Vader. And an identical one built in a factory! Maybe that's why Vader has so much money by SOTE; he sued Cybot Galactica!Among most of the things in the PT, I'd like to pretend homemade C-3PO didn't happen.
"Only you could be so bold!" Reminds of something I used to hear from church people when I was little. They were too yuppie to tell their kids they were being "bad," so they'd say "bold" instead. Then have them sing songs like "Be Bold, Be Strong, For the Lord Thy God Is With Thee."Really? I was told I was bad.
If you tell the Senate that all aboard were killed... are they going to form committee to ascertain the validity of your assessment? Perhaps they'll just pass a new law, requiring more stringent particle shield standards and use of seat belts on all ships carrying Senators. They'll call it "Leia's Law."This is way more hilarious than it should be.
Man, it had to suck to be Anthony Daniels. Searing heat, in a black body stocking AND a metal suit. He had to be roasting...Mark Hamill said he got the best tan of his life standing next to him.
but effects errors? NEVER.THERE IS HORRIBLE TEXTURE STRETCHING ON UTAPAU!!!
"I'm not good at telling stories. Well, not at making them interesting, anyway."Also, shouldn't protocol droids--designed for interpersonal relations--be programmed to tell stories, a very basic form of interpersonal communication? Especially since he does just that two movies later and seems to relish the opportunity?
...GEORGE LUCAS IS THREEPIO IN HUMAN FORM
"He has too much of his father in him."AotC and whatever Obi-Wan may have told them in RotS certainly doesn't make that very promising.
"That's what I'm afraid of."
Well, sure. You don't want Luke dragging corpses back home after random acts of genocide.
Guiness, for all that he hated this movie, still gave it effort. The subtle facial expressions, even just the cast of his eyes... brilliant.And yet the only person I can think of who was more obviously bored with his role was Liam Neeson.
"My father didn't fight in the Wars; he was a navigator on a spice freighter."Is saying "Your dad was a drug dealer" really that much better than the truth?
The spice must flow...
Pius Dea crusadesPlease tell me that there were not really "Holy God crusades" in SW.
DAY-TA, Motti. Your dadda is married to your momma. Or, well, in your case... one of those guys your momma entertained over the years.A mispronunciation that annoys me as well.
"And these blastpoints. Too accurate for Sandpeople; only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."According to TPM, so are the Sand People.
...Should this be chalked up as lie #5? The EU seems desperate to say that it is... but then, there's that opening scene on the Tantive IV, with Rebels dropping like stones and only a couple of the men in white eating plasma. And the films do override the guidebooks and RPG supplements. So, you heard it from the Jedi's mouth: Stormtroopers are good shots!
"We're wanted men! I'll say it louder in case there's any ISB or Intel..."According to Lucas Licensing, Inquisitor Sariss is in the room.
I don't care for the canon explanation for "twelve parsecs." I prefer the one on Obi-Wan's face: "This jerkoff is full of crap."
I like how starships are less expensive than houses. And cars. And a semester's tuition at a private college.I think in this case it's Luke who's full of crap. According to the RPG books, you couldn't buy a broken, salvaged TIE Fighter for 10,000 credits.
Ugh, Leia's fake British accent. Oh, she's not bad... there's just something so obnoxious about it.According to canon, she's speaking "High Galactic"--because that's in no way pretentious.
Okay, so now we hit something that tarnishes the "pure good" thing about Leia and the Rebellion. The Rebels are, of course, heavily supported by Alderaan. It is their unofficial capital, with Yavin essentially as a remote backup in case something goes wrong (which... obviously, it does). Tarkin has just threatened to destroy Alderaan with the Death Star, not only killing Leia's adoptive family... but cutting the heart out of the Rebellion. She knows he will use this station against the Rebel base... he just needs to know where it is (in her mind). And so, she tells him Dantooine. And, they had a base there... had. As Cass reports later, it has been evacuated. So, there is no Rebel presence... only the civilians they claim to seek freedom for. Princess Leia was willing to burn a world that no longer housed the Rebellion. That is not heroic, that is not guile. That is cold-hearted pragmatism, at best. At worst, the uncaring act of a zealot, for whom the cause is all that matters and that which no longer serves the cause is expendable... even the lives of two million civilians who have done her no harm. May the Force be With You. <But it makes a great joke in KotOR: "Alderaan. The Jedi Academy is on Alderaan."_<
yet no retouching of the lightsaber effect in the training scene? Making it extend and retract smoothly from the blade? Cover up the bits of rotating shaft that leaked through the rotoscoping effect?That's why you watch Adywan's version, it fixes all that stuff

I have no idea in what order to view them or what damn edition.Original Trilogy first. I'd suggest the theatrical versions of the OT DVDs. Unless you have the VHS SE...and a working VCR.
I'm also far from sure that TPM is as bad as it's painted amongst Star Wars fans.Really? I honestly don't know what's worse: AotC's plotholes or TPM's utter boringness.
