We all know they are there. that they exist within the Star Wars Saga. What are they. I can't be bothered to go through them. So I'll leave it up to you.

Ewoks. Jar-Jar Binks. Obi-Wan's pathelogical lying. Luke kisssing his sister. Darth Vader's helmet not getting polished enough in Episode IV. Vader sensing Luke but not Leiha. Spock yelling in the pilot episode. Darth Revan's inability to care about his own threads anymore. :screwy:

I think the AT-ATs are the biggest flaws. But what lovely flaws!!!

I wonder how many floors there were in the deathstar, it was quite big, so i'd say 2000?

And hears a question, which direction did they set there artificial gravity to...(don't say down)

Yeah, the floors should have been set up concentrically, with the center being the source of gravitational pull, but clearly it was not that way. I looked like the gravitational source was at the bottom of it. Maybe the death star needed to orbit a planet and use its gravitational pull.

use the planets gravity to calibrate it's artificial gravity you mean? Wouldn't that get a bit annoying. I mean what about the toilets, every time the toilets, all the water would fall out. And the control panel you need to get to would be on the ceiling...

The whole thing with Annakin's mother annoys me.
Here's this little kid who manages to help save an entire planet. Don't you think that they could buy his slave mother's freedom and make her an honorary citizen or something as a mark of gratitude? Or at least give him a sh*tload of money so he can buy his mom's freedom? It would probably be worth, oh, about the cost of one of the Queen's over elaborate fussy dresses... :P

I totally agree with you there duchess. But the Jedi's aren't allowed things like money. And those dresses really annoyed me. i was like "Show some skin will you!"

There are a couple of scenes in A New Hope that drive me nuts.
1. The conference room on the Death Star. Tarkin is sitting at the head of the table. Vader is standing a few feet away. A soldier walks in. "Sir. We have searched Dantooine. They found the remains of a rebel base but it has been deserted for some time."
Tarkin: "She lied to us!"
Vader: "I told you she would not consciously betray the rebellion."
Now comes my problem. After Vader is finished speaking, David Prowess continues to shake his hand as if he is still speaking. Arrghhh!
2. Vader and Obi Wan are fighting aboard the Death Star. Obi-wan's light sabre suddenly loses the nifty special effects and he's holding off Vader with a long clear plastic tube.
Arrrgghhhh!

Maybe it was caused by a disturbance in the force co inciding with a glitch in the matrix...

Yeah? Well, I hear Obi-Wan wasn't too keen on your grey, Kirby-vacuum-cleaner looking armor, either. And we don't even want to go into the numerous plot inconsistencies in your comic, do we? :screwy:

What in the flake does that have to do with.....oh forget it.
I'm suprised no one has noticed these things before. I guess I've watched A New Hope too much. Oh yeah the x wing whos engines don't seem to be animated just before the attack on the you know what.

Oh yeah the time your teenage self killed your adult self, who was actually serving Kang, and killed several Avengers in the process, and then Professor X whisked you all off to an alternate reality, and you all came back a year later, except your teenage self disappeared and all the Avengers you killed showed up alive, and the Human Torch's skrull ex-wife girlfriend, who did not get whisked away, somehow disappeared too. And what about that time you were paralyzed? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, rusty. :screwy:
