Loose ends

They never explained exactly why Anakin is only 6'1" and Darth Vader is 6'7"

And why did it take 19 years to build the Death Star?

FILE UNDER, "YEAH, WHAT HE SAID":

Ace files his very, umm, Aceian perspective:


6. Threepio gets his memory wiped. Artoo does not. That means that little bastard has known throughout the entire trilogy that Darth was Luke's father, and Leia his sister, and yet the little piece of shit never said a word. (And he could have of course-- not only did Threepio understand his buzzes and beepings, but of course Luke picked up his musical language eventually, too.)

7. No one has yet explained why, if the idea was to hide Anikin Skywalker's child "where the agents of the Sith would never find him," the best place to do so was on Anikin's home world of Tatooine, with his brother's family, and under his actual given name of Luke Skywalker.

Jesus. You want to knock the Stormtroopers' marksmanship; but they seem to be better shots than the Imperial Intelligence Division are detectives.

When he turned to the Dark Side, Darth becake a KISS fan. Platform boots -- just sayin'.

And why did it take 19 years to build the Death Star?

It WAS a government project. If they'd only bid it out to the Corellians, now.....

Shesh. Couldn't you tell the DS sceene was years later? You don't just build a naval structure like that overnight. That, and Tarkin seemed to be not much younger than in the original. He looked even more skeletal, even. More hollow.

But, yah, that was my first impression, too. Stupid Lucas is even forgetting how to edit now. And that was what he was supposedly GOOD at!

I was going to make a crack about lifts, then it occurred to me that this is only one of the many ways in which Hayden Christensen falls short as Darth.

And why did C-3PO never mention the fact that he was made by Darth Vader & knew all about his journey to the Dark Side

Is JAR JAR BINKS related to ADMERAL AKABAR? and how about EWOKS and WOOKIES? and is SALACIOUS CRUMB the second cousin once removed to JABBA THE HUTT?
