HOLY CRAP EPISODE III WAS AWESOME

[GuidoHunter]

Oh man, this movie was sweet, although I couldn't help but laugh at the most inappropriate spots just because of the trailer subbed in 1337.

Uh, because spoilers suck I'll refrain from any more discussion.

I'll be seeing it on Thursday at 7pm /w my g/f... W00t!

[chardish]

This is a true story of how Chardish probably could have seen Episode 3 today, but pansied out.

Chardish enters theater to buy pre-order tickets. Chardish notes on the screen that one of the day's showings says STAR WARS 7:00 and then quickly goes away.

Chardish: "Two for Star Wars, Friday night at 7:00 on the digital screen."
Clerk: "$18."
Chardish's brain: "No way in hell would I pay $18 for a movie that wasn't Star Wars."
Chardish: "Here you are."
Clerk: "Here you go, down the hall to your left. Enjoy the show."
Chardish's brain: "What? ENJOY THE SHOW? Why is he giving me directions to the theater when I bought tickets for Friday?"

Chardish stands and ponders these things. His tickets say "Friday," but even now he cannot help but wonder if he could have seen the movie today.

I wanted to stick around the place until 7:00 and then call off work (at 9:00) if i actually got in and if there actually was a showing.

"Yeah, hi. Sorry boss. I'm not feeling too well..."
(STAR WARS FANFARE FILLS SCREEN)
(THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE)
"...I put in a DVD to try to help me relax..."

I think tomorrow (my day off) I'm going to stop by the theater, lurk around and loiter until I've ascertained if there are any secret showings, and then attempt to buy a ticket to that showing.

[87x]

seeing it 12:01 am on thursday.

[Chromer]

Same here.

[falconsfan14]

I hope i can.

[HansSky]

I'm seeing it tonight. I can't wait.

[razkastan]

I am going to see on saturday!! can wait!!!

[Snapps]

I've never seen any of them but parts of 4 and 1.

I really can care less XD.

[GuidoHunter]

I really can care less XD.

Then do so. (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=21130)

But yeah, I would have seen it last Thursday, but Lucas pulled the prints he had sent out last Wednesday because he didn't like an editing job. Sad day.

[whorlichan]

Tass and I just saw it. It was AWESOME.

Especially when he whispered funny things at the most inappropriate moments, yes :)

[djshox]

Wow.

I left feeling more emotionally drained than after Passion of the Christ. It was so depressing...

[Laharl]

I can't believe it's all finished, though. 27 years, and all 6 are finally made. I've been a fan my whole life, and I'm with shox... I'm kinda emotionally drained now.

Then I saw his Zangief sig and laughed, so I'm okay again.

[Chromer]

Same here Laharl. When I saw it at midnight, I felt sorry for the Jedi Younglings when Anakin kills them all at the Jedi temple. I almost cried. Seriously I almost did.

[HansSky]

Same here Laharl. When I saw it at midnight, I felt sorry for the Jedi Younglings when Anakin kills them all at the Jedi temple. I almost cried. Seriously I almost did.

I couldn't stop laughing because everyone was like "OMG HE WOULDN'T".

It was also pretty funny when Padme and Anakin were just looking at each other in complete silence, my friend popped open a can of Mountain Dew(smuggled).

[Tasselfoot]

Its not like it was a surprise... you KNOW ep3 has to be a downer. Same way ep5 is.

What I want to know is, why does the Death Star take like 20 years to build, yet the 2nd Death Star is almost finished not 2-3 years after the 1st is destroyed.

Also, Whorli wants to know why Grievous has a breathing problem. We see he has a heart, but... lungs?

[HansSky]

Question #1: Technology man, get with the times.

Question #2: I'd refer to the books, or maybe even the Clone Wars shorts on CN.


Otherwise, no idea.

[Tasselfoot]

I thought of that, the technology... and, I just don't buy it. BS that in 20 years they can improve technology and efficiency that much. We aren't talking a society like ours where modern technology is only a few hundred years old. They have had it for thousands. And, its more a matter of manpower than technology, I'd imagine.

We could go into the debate from Clerks about it being a work hazard to have been an outside contractor on the Death Star II, but... I'l refrain.

[litewaitholiday]

Star Wars Episode III is amazing. When Darth Vader is on the table and you finally hear him breathe, that was awesome. By far the best of the new 3 movies, Empire Strikes Back is still on top though.

[Brainmaster07]

My entire band class is going friday at 11pm.

That's right, 200+ people, all of which are nerds :D. It will be awesome regardless of how good the movie is.

[jewpinthethird]

Well, about the technological advancements part. Moore's Law states that technology doubles every 18 months. I mean, look how far we've come since 1985.

Remember, the second Deathstar wasnt finished...and I'm not sure if it is said in Episode 5 or 6, but I, for some reason, remember a discussion between Darth Vader and some other guy about how there had been a second Deathstar started sometime during the construction of the first.

I'm not sure if I made that up, imagined it, or what, but that is what I believe until proven otherwise.

[blahblah18]

2nd best star wars of all time.. hands down

[Omeganitros]

*Giggle* (http://darthno.ytmnd.com/)

[vashthestampede0987]

Well think of it this way...the technology is so shitty in the last 3 because they've been under an empire, therefor things are shitty.

[chardish]

Just saw it and HOLY CRAP WAS IT AWESOME.

Though we had some idiot sitting in our row who laughed essentially every time Palpatine tried to corrupt Anakin. Idiot. Some people are just insecure, I guess.

Grievous: Thought it was made clear that he wasn't a droid, but a cyborg (part lifeform, part machine.) This explains his breathing problems rather well.

Death Star: Different priorities, perhaps. In Ep4 the entire station was complete before the superlaser was ready, in Ep6 it appeared to be pretty much the opposite.

Younglings: Predictable, but sad nonetheless.

[Kamoa_Han_Senzui]

I just saw this.

Oooooh

[Belgarion]

What was even more disturbing for me was hearing James Earl Jones's voice say, "Where's Padme?"

[Omeganitros]

Just saw it. I have no complaints. I love the fact that now Vader's eventual betrayal now makes sense. When he tosses Palpatine, he's not doing just for his son (I always thought that was a stupid reason), he's doing it for all the crap he had to go through.

The only thing I didn't enjoy as much as I thought as I would was the Grievous battle. He wasn't as badass as Clone Wars made him to be, though I can understand why they didn't make it as awesome. They just wanted the Obi Vs Anakin to be the best battle.

[blahblah18]

[chardish]

In related news, this is among the weirdest Google ads I've ever seen.

http://www.lightdarkness42.com/chardish/order66.png

IMHO, Ep 3 makes the Palpatine toss way, way better. It was already good becasue it was Anakin renouncing the Dark Side out of love and compassion for his son, but it also makes the decision a whole lot more meaningful. Anakin's gamble didn't pay off - he sold his soul and wasn't able to save the one he loved, and in the end he regretted his decision, though there was nothing he could do on his own. But seeing Luke, with his noble love of the Jedi way, certainly stirred the good in Anakin - it reminded him of, as Luke put it, "his true self he's only forgotten."

Powerful.

[NightSonnett]

First of all, you all are forgetting that it was his TWINS, not just his son.

Just got back from seeing it, and aside from the horrendous opening sequence with no music for the "mini-battle", and poor dialouge, i felt it rocked the rest of the way through (despite a lot of majour editing problems that have seemed to arise out of the past three Star Wars episodes...hopefully they will be fixed before it comes out on DVD). I really enjoyed this film. But...I did feel it could have been more intense at some parts with better writing. Although i will admit, I was depressed a bit after watching it. It's just so sad.

I'm going again on Sunday :D

[MalReynolds]

MalReynolds came out of retirement to say:

Greivous had breathing problems because in the Clone Wars series on CN, Mace Windu force crushes his lungs. He's a dying cyborg. And a coward.

Did anyone catch the slight nod to who Anakin's father might have been (Even though he was immaculatley concivied, this is one where a guy definitley had a hand in the creation.)?

No, I didn't.

Also:

Am I the only one that was like "WHAT?" when Kit Fisto died in a single blow?

[HansSky]

Yeah, that made me mad. Everyone's favorite Jedi had their own special scene where they just got completely owned.

Lame.

[vashthestampede0987]

Mal it kind of gave away when Palpatine said it.

[esupin]

George Lucas ain't no Stephen Spielberg.

*cough*Darth Plagueis*cough*

Makes you wish you could read that "prophecy" they all keep talking about.

Kit Fisto: Surprised, but Palpatine is really freaking strong.

Windu: If you've already decided that Palpatine is too dangerous to be kept alive, stick your lightsaber through him already.

[jewpinthethird]

I just saw it.

I have to say it was pretty damn good.

Now, I am going to go watch Episode IV.

[skaterjon411]

i thought this one kinda sucked....everything was just way to predictable and just seemed that the whole army wanted the jedis dead.......it just didnt seem like this movie was meant to be good....just to finish the story

ps dont flame me.....its just my opion

[Omeganitros]

skaterjon's post goes so well with his avatar. So well, I cast my Level 7 Flame Shield out of sympathy.

And where the heck did we get the notion that Darth Plagueis is...I want to see the script from that scene.

[chardish]

PALPATINE: Have they asked you to betray the Jedi code? The Constitution? A friendship? Your own values? Think. Consider their motives. Keep your mind clear of assumptions. The fear of losing power is a weakness of both the Jedi and the Sith.

ANAKIN is deep in thought.

PALPATINE: (continuing) Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis "the wise"?

ANAKIN: No.

PALPATINE: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life ... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

ANAKIN: He could actually save people from death?

PALPATINE: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

ANAKIN: What happened to him?

PALPATINE: He became so powerful . . . the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. (smiles) Plagueis never saw it coming. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.

[jewpinthethird]

PALPATINE: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life

Snap...like...here is the top of my head....and here is what Palpatine was saying during the movie sailing right over the top of my it.

Damn. Good show.

[Omeganitros]

Nope. Still don't get it.

[MalReynolds]

The guy up there that is all "man, it's really odd that the entire army wanted the jedi dead" must have been asleep at the part when they were all clones and then they all didn't think for themselves and Order 66 was executed, because I think that was an awesome montage.

Mal

[veranica]

Damn, I can't wait till I get to see it next weekend! From the looks of it though, the movie isn't going anywhere.

[vashthestampede0987]

Omega please say your kidding. I just saw it for the second time.....No I'm not addicted, it's just that I made plans with someone before but me and my friends saw it the day before. I felt that the movie was great, but could of been better. I also thought the lightsaber fights could of been better. The funny part was when it looked like Anakin and Obi Wan were just swinging their lightsabers aimlessly for about 15 seconds.

[msbrunnettemickey]

Yes it was awesome!!!
I think it was a good movie to connect to the other 5 movies.
George Lucas is awesome.

Here are some lame cartoons i found!

=D, just thought you guys would like it. I like sharing.

[esupin]

And where the heck did we get the notion that Darth Plagueis is...

I think that Palpatine was Plagueis's apprentice, but I'm not positive about Plaugeis helping conceive Anakin.

[vashthestampede0987]

I'm also pretty sure that Palpatine was Plagueis's apprentice and that Plagueis is the "father"
of Anakin. I also do think that George Lucas is a racist, because he didn't give Mace Windu a honorable death, he got his arm cut off by Anakin then got killed with the lightning. If I was Samuel L. Jackson I would of demanded a rewrite on that part. :P

[msbrunnettemickey]

what i think, is that George Lucas should have made a better scene where Anakin turns to the "dark" side. It's like (not exactly what they said i just want to make a point) Sith: You will become my apprentice Anakin: I'll do whatever you wish.

And oh snap! Just like that he became Darth Vader.

[esupin]

Like I said,
George Lucas ain't no Stephen Spielberg.

I also thought Mace Windu's death was really cheezy, and now that I think about it, all of the Jedi's deaths were kind of anticlimactic; there is no way Palpatine kills three Jedi in a matter of ten seconds.

[MalReynolds]

"SPOILER: Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu) said he knew that he must die in this film, so he told George Lucas he would only do the film if Mace Windu goes out in a blaze of glory and not "like some sucka". On an American late-night talk show, he confirmed that he did indeed have a meaningful death scene; and he does not go out like "some punk"."

So, Sam Jackson was happy about his death scene. I thought it was pretty cool, too.

As for the other Jedi with him at the time, look at it like this. Darth Sidious is the singlehandedly most deadly Jedi in the universe. The only people that could take him down were Mace and Yoda. In the confined space where the fight began, there was not a lot of room for manuvering. You also have to take into account the sheer speed of Sidious; his launch up was much faster than an old man is supposed to move, because he used the force for speed.

In Episode II, Yoda talks to Mace about how the Force is becoming harder to use. That is because the Force is somewhat evenly distributed among Jedi, and when new Sith are trained, they get an equal part of the Force. Some get more than others if they are strong with the Force, so Sidious used a lot of Force powers, as did Dooku.

The long and the short of it is; they went in, not expecting to have to fight an old man. They walked in underestimating their foe, and their pride was great. The downfall of most Jedi is their pride.

Mal

[vashthestampede0987]

SPOILER-Sidious wasn't technically powerful enough to take out Mace, it's just that he got fucked over by Anakin. As it was said ealier in this thread if you know he should be destroyed don't just stand there and talk, stab the motherfucker.

[MalReynolds]

He was under the impression that Sidious was no longer a threat without the LightSaber. When Anakin walked in, he had to explain that if he ever got back onto the political stage, he would have asylum. He was trying to justify the murder of Sidious to Anakin.

Then, the lightning. And right as Mace was about to stab, there goes his arm. BAM.

When Anakin joined the Dark Side, it upset the scale of Light and Dark, making Sidious more powerful, which explains why later, Yoda could not kill him. Sidious also had the high ground.

But mainly, Mace was going to arrest Sidious until the force lightning, then he was going to stab, but by that time, Anakin had made up his mind.

Mal

[The_Q]

I saw it on the 17th.

Q wins.

Q

[chardish]

He was under the impression that Sidious was no longer a threat without the LightSaber.

Even though he was firing high-intensity lightning at him, so much that it physically warped his appearance to do so?

[MalReynolds]

Uh, the force lightning caught him off guard. Maybe you need to see the movie again, but it was bad aim that made the lightning hit the saber.

Mal

[esupin]

These trivialities can be argued either way, depending on how you interpret things. Who knows, maybe he was just really stressed and made a mistake.
The point is, he had to die for the sake of continuing the story.

edit-Episode 2 is on TV right now.

[chardish]

Uh, the force lightning caught him off guard. Maybe you need to see the movie again, but it was bad aim that made the lightning hit the saber.

Mal

Still a poor excuse...if you can shoot lightning from your hands you don't need a lightsaber to be dangerous, and I'm sure Wise Master Windu realized that.

Lightsabers can absorb force lightning - see Obi-Wan vs. Dooku in Ep2.

[vashthestampede0987]

Chardish you stole the words right outta my mouth. On ep2 it seems as if Dooku was secretly trying to help the Jedi when he was talking with Obi Wan when he was in the containment like light energy thingy.

[jewpinthethird]

Did anyone stop to think that the entire scene where Mace is fighting Sidious was entirely planned out by Sidious to get Anakin to turn to the darkside? That the entire scene were he is yelling "I'm so weak, blah blah blah" is just an act to get Anakin to sympathize with Sidious and turn against Mace?

That's how I interperated it.

[vashthestampede0987]

Jewp....Nice interpretation. That sounds a lot better than what I was thinking....Even thought Mace should of stopped being a dipshit and stabbed the motherfucker. And this thought just occured to me; Was Sidious the one who asked for the creation of the clones? I'm pretty sure they said that someone had asked for the clone army to be created long before the idea of creating the army for the republic.

Wait, someone saw that differently? I mean, sure, he was aging, but he wasn't weak or out of power at all.

[Omeganitros]

Jewpin, there was not a single moment when Sidious was not manipulating Anakin.

[HansSky]

Vash has a good question. Did anyone watching AOTC catch any names, or hints towards who asked for the clones? Now that the third is over, it might be easier to tell.

[vashthestampede0987]

I'm sure there's an easy answer to this one, but why is Dooku's lightsaber hilt like curved?

[jewpinthethird]

I'm sure there's an easy answer to this one, but why is Dooku's lightsaber hilt like curved?

Because the day they started shooting Episode 2 the person in charge of props lost Dooku's saber, and due to time constrants, one of the make-up artists suggested that they use a Norelco (http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/74/a4/Norelco_Quadra_Action_7865XL_Shavers_and_Grooming_ Appliances-resized200.jpg) razor, and since there were no close ups of Dooku's saber, Lucas let if pass.

[chardish]

Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas (who supposedly died years ago.)

Sifo-Dyas.
Sidious.

Think about it.

[vashthestampede0987]

Thanks Chardish. Jewp your story might be true, but sounds a bit cheesy. Unless it was for the first day of filming of course. The razor seems to be a bit small for the actual lightsaber. I thought it looked a bit more like http://www.xscapesprops.com/star%20wars%20props/dooku.jpg

[jewpinthethird]

Thanks Chardish. Jewp your story might be true, but sounds a bit cheesy.

Because I was totally not making the story up as I went along.

[MalReynolds]

It's curved because it's design is based off of a fencing sword: a rapier of an epee. Either eay, Dooku was originally going to fight in a fencing style, demonstrating his higher class refinement. It turned out looking goofy, they kept the saber design (which was chosen by Lee) and changed the fighting style.

Mal

[Omeganitros]

You know, Dooku's death was pretty disappointing. The best way would have been a saber through the heart, since he's such a freaking civilized vampire.

[jewpinthethird]

You know, Dooku's death was pretty disappointing. The best way would have been a saber through the heart, since he's such a freaking civilized vampire.

But he was killed in a very savage manner....very necessary for Anakin's progression into the dark side.

[chardish]

Killed in cold blood, looking on in horror as his supposed master orders their common enemy to execute him. Head chopped off scissors-style by two lightsabers.

Chilling.

[Tps222]

I was cool how one was blue, and the other, red, which is most commonly used by the dark side. It kind of shows a mid-point of switiching sides, using both sabers at the same time. Saw 3 days ago, and still depressed after seeing it :(

[banditcom]

I just saw it earlier today.

It was sweet, except for the first, poorly edited, third of the movie.

[JurseyRider734]

I had read some of this thread before watching it and kept it in mind after watching the movie. I came back and read this right after I finished watching it, and it all made sense. I thought it was a great movie, but I cried a lot. I kind of think back deeper into things about how Anakin used to be such a cute little boy and Obi was training him and all, then he turned into Darth Vader and all. I never really followed Star Wars so I kind of wasn't aware about everything that happened, so I was kind of surprised to see the whole transformation. It was a really good movie, though.

[Omeganitros]

I thought I almost felt tears welling when Obi-Wan said "You were my brother!"

But then I sipped my giant bucket of Sunkist and I was happy again.

[JurseyRider734]

I was crying through that whole scene. I realized how close Obi-Wan must have felt towards Anakin, and then Anakin just went and turned on him like that. I was so upset.

They should remake the other movies to make them look cooler.

[vashthestampede0987]

Well.....When it was during that part of the movie and Obi-Wan said "You were the chosen one!" I thought of the 1337 dubbed preview going "STOP TKing YOU FAG!!!11!1ONE11!!!" and I chuckled.

[Tasuke]

My friend came out of the theater and said in the loadest possible
voice that isn't yelling or shouting "I did not see that coming!"

[Yoshido]

i saw it last week on friday. It was great. I like the end where Darth Vader got cut up. He had one arm left. And he screamed I hate u or something like that. lol then he caught on fire

[pntballa18]

They should remake the other movies to make them look cooler.

They did. There on DVDs now.

[Tps222]

I read somewhere that they are making them all in 3-d.

[pntballa18]

*Aniken, DONT KILL ME! Woah, it was fake! AWESOME!*

[jazzmosis]

It was good, but I wasn't blown away by it.

The transitions got really annoying after awhile, with all the old-school transitions like blinds, wipes, and closing circle. Just annoying after a bit.

The best part was how Anakin's eyes got all evil. First blue, then darker, darker, and finally, just a creepy red. That was my favourite part of the movie - watching his eyes change, and watching him kill his own wife. Genius!

[pntballa18]

He didnt kill his wife.

[vashthestampede0987]

He basically choked her till she was unconscious. She died because she lived for and loved Anikin. The medical robot specifically said that she was "losing the will to live." She couldn't bear the pain so she used her last ounce of will power to give the names of her children and tell Obi-Wan that there was still a string of hope.

[evilbutterfly]

A new hope, may be? I just saw it yesterday, so I'm a bit late, but I still feel the need to say something.

My friend complained that the story was terribly written. Basically he said they should have acted out their feelings and shown them rather than outright saying things like "This is the happiest day of my life" and "I feel so helpless" (which didn't make any sense at all, in context). I didn't mind it too much, but I saw some problems with the movie myself. One big thing was that the lightsaber battles were very hard to watch. They zoomed way in on people and you could just see flashing sabers back and forth. Especially in the Obi Wan vs Anakin duel where they both had blue light sabers, it was really hard to tell what the hell was happening sometimes.

@jazz: The same transitions have been used in every movie. The difference is this one didn't do them in a cool way like the old ones did. I always liked how the transitions worked in the first 3, where somebody would walk by and the transition would line up with them, or somebody (Hans, I think) got picked up and as he moved up it wiped to the next scene. Because I had just seen ep5 on Tuesday, I had this fresh in my mind and felt the wipes in ep3 were kinda random.

About the Mace Windu thing...I thought his death was cool. I mean, he beat the guy that YODA couldn't even beat later on. He whooped the guy's ass totally. Of course, may be Sidius was just letting him win so Anakin would feel sorry for him, but still, it was a good show of purple lightsaber ownage. And I think the most disappointing deaths ever in Star Wars were the deaths of Jango and Boba Fett. Jango just gets beheaded suddenly and Boba just kinda falls, IIRC. Pretty lame if you ask me.

But overall, I think ep3 was great. Of course, I'm only in it for the explosions, and ep3 had plenty.

[Afrobean]

About the Mace Windu thing...I thought his death was cool. I mean, he beat the guy that YODA couldn't even beat later on. He whooped the guy's ass totally.
I think someone said before that Yoda wasn't as strong as he should have been because the force was balanced between the light side and the dark side during the fight with Palpatine. Palpatine even said that Yoda was too arrogant if I remember correctly, because Yoda was used to having crazy power from the light side controlling the majority of the force. I believe that Yoda at his tops, before the force was balanced, would have totally annihilated the emperor.

PS sup eb.

[evilbutterfly]

Well not really, if you think about it. That same person said that the force is evenly distributed among people, so Yoda would be at his strongest then since all the other Jedis died and all the force left would be just for those few. Yoda in that final battle wasn't nearly as cool as Yoda in the ep2 battle, which was kinda disappointing.

EDIT: Oh yeah...sup Afro. Stop being grounded!

[chardish]

The best was when Yoda knocked the two Royal Guards unconscious with a wave of his hand. The whole theater applauded for that.

And when Yoda beheaded the Order 66 guards. We applauded for that, too.

Who doesn't like Yoda?

when Anakin got his legs chopped off?

Best movie ever. Better than all the Lord Of The Rings. Better than all the Harry Potter's. Yeah, my theater laughed when R2 zapped the droid in the beggining. But they didn't do anything else. Kinda kiddie for a theater of all adults. I didn't do anything.

I sensed Pride.

I hated it! The droids saying "uh oh" and everything... it was like a kids movie... and that general guy with all the arms... why does he cough if he doesn't need air to breathe?

Ahh. Poor Anakin though... actually felt sorry for him.

Don't bump almost 3 month old topics.

I'm surpised theaters are still playing it.

Someone explained why earlier in the thread. Apparently, Mace Windu force crushed General Grievous's lungs.

A concept you seem to be missing: General Grievous is NOT a robot. He's simply comprised mostly of synthetic parts.

PS The theatres are still playing it? I have it on VHS already.

Okay who actually watched the Clone Wars on Cartoon Network? I know I did.

[Tps222]

No, the theaters aren't he saw is 3 months ago. Karfu, stop making names before you get this IP banned.

Actually, it grossed $248,124 last weekend.

...but he was "breathing" in space when that cockpit window broke on that ship.

I don't see why he's coughing if he doesn't need to breathe air.

I'm sure George Lucas and his crew weren't that meticulous or anal(for the lack of a better word) about petty details such as this.

[MalReynolds]

He has 2 tanks in his lungs: They each store oxygen in case his lungs actually shut down. They function as back up lungs in case his real lungs fail... Der.

To elaborate on this, take a look at every explosion of a death star or space station or space ship in all of Star Wars. You'll find that there are sound effects made for such explosions. However, anyone with a brain could tell you that space is a vacuum and there can be no sound in a vacuum. Geeks don't seem to care though, and it appears that they prefer awesome explosions to realism.
