Topic: the greatest SW mystery of all...

here r thought provoking mysteries i often ponder.
please add ur own
yes some r silly...i know this.

1. what do jawas look like under the hood?
2. was count dooku gay?
3. what color are garindans eyes?
4. what ever became of GO-TO and that other droid, at the end of KOTOR2?
5. did dengar really look like matt damon before the accident?
6. was jabba a slug of the people, beloved by the inhabitants of tatooine?
7. was Guri the first fem bot, predating austin powers?
8. is spice in the star wars world, the equivalent of cocaine?
9. were there conversations happening inside the sarlaccs belly?
10. r there any mellow sand people, or do they all have rage issues...and easily excitable?

What happen to T3-M4?
Does Reven come back?

What started the War between the republic and CIS? ( I dont know much about what happend b4 phantom menace, besides KOTOR)

Who really shot first? Solo or Greedo?

Would the Empire have still fallen had they kept using Jango clones?

Why doesnt Vader recognize 3po?

Why do the Skywalkers wine so much?

Whats with E.T in the senate? why arent they in star wars games too, that would be cool

"Why doesnt Vader recognize 3po?"
He does.

Was Anakin bangin' Aayla Secura behind Padme's back?

And Barriss Offee?

And Adi Gallia?

"It's okay, baby... I'm the Chosen One"

doesnt really do anything that would lead some one to that conclusion

I may be blonde but are there any scenes where Vader and C3PO are in the same space together? I'm not thinking of any right now.

Greedo shot 1st. In the special edition

Why doesn't Vader recognize Luke's last name?

Now thats one I've always thought of too!

They are right across from each other as Han is frozen in Carbonite...

See i AM blonde and stupid. Of course. But then again Vader was preoocupied there and 3PO was in a state of dissasemble. Ontop of that it had been 21 years since they had any real contact.

So what? Clint Eastwood was blonde, and Jeremy Bulloch modeled his performance as Boba Fett after Clint... catch my drift, Si?

Vader didn't find out Luke's name until after the destruction of the Death Star. Then the hunt began, he knew he was a relative. Guess he never sent Christmas cards to Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen :P

Who are SW version of zombies?
a. Tusken Raiders
b. Band Gora
c. Yuuzhan Vong
d. other

...and why?

1. Why do clones go from amazing killers in Ep. I-III to totally inacurate and ineffective drones in Ep. IV-VI?

2. Why does Jango shoot his partner to protect his idenity with a weapon that pinpoints his exact location?

3. Why does the Star Wars bar scene in Ep. IV remind me of the U.N.?

I can just imagine that now.


Merry Christmas FROM THE EMPIRE!
*Plays imperial march*

That'd be cool.

Well he didn't think Kamino was widely known by fat diner owners................And he underestimated the power of the plot....

Stupidity?

No not stupidity, just a tactical error that he didn't know the ONE person that knew about kamino outside from anyone involved with them

Exactly what part of Palpatine's offer to join the Dark Side so he could save Padme's life did Anakin find so seductive in the first place?

The "killing little children" part?

The "killing all of your friends" part?

The "I've really been your enemy this whole time" part?

The "I suddenly look and sound like a hideous monster" part?

Or was it the icing on the deal...

The "Technically, NO... I don't actually know the power to cheat death, myself" part?

Man, ol' Palpie could sell refridgerators to Eskimos, couldn't he?

Why did the Ewoks destroy the 501st in ROTJ?

Why is the ENTIRE army of the Republic made out of clones? Is there not a single person in the rebublic willing to fight?

What speices is Yoda, and why does his homeplanet keep sending a new 'whatever hes called' jedi master every thousand years to the jedi temple? (Yoda, and that one person from Kotor anyone?)

Why was no one protesting the use of 10-year-olds, to fight a war, during episodes 2-3?

Because Ewoks kick plastic armored @$$

And because no one knew

LOL Bubba Fett!  Yeah, Palpy's offer never seemed all that juicy to me, either.  And his offer to Luce sucked even more, but see my question at the end of this post; maybe it did make sense after all.

There are non-clone stormtroopers; play the old PC stratagy game Force Commander.  In the intro your character Brenn Tantor starts as a Stormtrooper, but you play him as a newly promoted Imperial officer.


Was Palps really going to kill Luke at the end of Ep. VI?  Or was he playing with his mind as Malak did to Bastila at the end of KotOR?

after that point, Jango's clones had died out, mostly. Shortly after the Clone Wars, they started cloning from different sources, and the clones would have been too old to fight before Ep IV. By then, most were just men, recruited through propaganda or force.

Also, read Alleigence (sp) by Zahn--the main characters, some of them, are human's. Not clone humans.

And there were a FEW non-clone groups fighting for the republic, but VERY few.

Oh yeah!

Actually I said 'Republic' not 'Empire'.

Sorry, I was combining the two.  In that case:

Why are there people willing to volonteer for the Empire's army and NOT for the Republic's?

Lol

Rakghouls from KOTOR, because they used to be people, but now they are mindless monsters who feed on people.

I prefer it when Han shot first but George decided to change it for some reason changed it so that Greedo shot first (even though there should have been no reason why he should miss)

I really think that he should change that scene back to the original scene.

I did not realize there was a question there. Although it would seem just like an incompetent noob such as Greedo to miss.

In my re-release I have the 1997 version it shows Greedo firing first.

Yeah Greedo did fire first because you can see a blaster bolt to right of Han's head

But that is how it plays out in the special editions. In the very orignial.. the one that eveyone saw in 1977 is ambiguous. I have that version as well as the special editions. There really is no visable shot from Greedo. If you read Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina it details how much of a n00b Greedo is. I can't remember if there it mentions who shoots first, but I know it was was released in 1995, which was before the SE. So that might be a factor.

How is Anakin "redeemed" to the Light Side of the Force by simply deciding to kill the Emperor over his own son?

Vader killed BILLIONS of people. He murdered a whole planet for cryin' out loud! How can Anakin possibly be redeemed by one simple act after all the atrocities that he had committed over the decades?

All this death and destruction was necessary for Anakin to "bring the Force back into balance"?

Actually he did not. Tarkin did that.

I understand what you mean though.

well, he wasn't exactly pleading with Tarkin  NOT blow up Alderan  :P  Also I'm pretty sure  he murdered several other planets in the EU.  Not sure how many, but one was the Faleen *spelling* homeworld; that's what Zixor *spelling...again*  hated Vader so much

By the middle of Episode III, why hasn't Anakin decided to just blow off the whole "Jedi / Sith / You are the Chosen One" crap, and joined the Pod Racing circuit instead?

Where would the Jedi Council's and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's precious little scemes be then?

Did Sev die?

How does destroying all the Sith and leaving only Jedi bring balance to the force? Doesn't balance mean an equality of opposing forces?

I aggree with you 100%

It never specified when the balance would be achieved.  If you think about it it coul have been in Episode 4 the prophecy was half fulfilled.  2 Jedi and 2 Sith.  Balance.

They certainly do not make that clear. What KIND of balance are they talking about anyway. That is a mystery.

That's pretty much how I've always viewed it... Balance is attained when only "Master" Yoda and "Apprentice" Obi-Wan are followers of the Light Side and "Master" Palpatine and "Apprentice" Vader are followers of the Dark Side. Although, in the DVD commentary for Episode III, Lucas states that he disagrees with this notion, and that "balance" is acheived in Episode VI, when Vader once again becomes Anakin and kills the Emperor.

The Destruction of the Sith brings balance to the Force.

I don't get it, but that's what the man says...

It IS a mystery, as even Yoda himself in Ep. III mutters that perhapes the prophecy was missinterpreted. 

What I want to know is HOW THE HELL the fist thought 'Balance' sounded like a good idea and why.

Well the biggest mystery to me is the Force...
It never really is explained, which is good; more food for the imagination.

True in the movies it is never given more than a few lines of explanation. I think part of that was deliberate so that way the force can mean different things to different people. And can be used differently by different force adepts int eh Star Wars galaxy.

reasons ewoks may have beaten imps inb eppy 6
1. ewoks got them by surprise
2. george lucas may have rigged it
3. there were more ewoks there
4. AT-STs arne't very well used to the forest
5. luck

Under statement of the year.
