Star Wars question

...Therefore the worm would have to produce oxygen which leads to another problem...what is it making the oxygen with?
More importantly, think how much food something like that would need to sustain it. Do you know how much a elephant eats? It's not like spaceships would be flying into it's mouth 5 or 6 times a day.

Then, it's only a damn movie.

Maybe it has a slow metabolism like myself? Plus don't forget about all those asteroid belt cattle that wander around.

Yeah maybe, but Leah, Han Solo (don't know about Chewbacca) need oxygen. So then the worm produces Oxygen inside its belly?

The Millenium /falcon would've had life support systems and they had oxygen masks when they went outside into the worm. It doesn't explain how those other creatures lived there.

Ah, Bantha poo-doo. Mercury has ice on it, even though it's the closest planet to the sun. Since the worm had no eyes, there is no liquid escaping. Therefore, the worm has the ability to crush rock and ice, release H (Hydrogen) and breathe the oxygen, INSIDE the body where the Minoc live..

Additionally, the equilibrium to convert Methane (CH4; that's one Carbon and 4 Hydrogens) to organic material is the same as Oxygen to living organisms, hence the requirement to wear masks.

The real question should have been, why did the worm have a good dentist?

Holy mutherfuckingbajeeezus!

And I thought Maple Laffs fans had too much time on their hands!

You folks have had wayyyy too much of the Lucas Kool-Aid!

This is what I would call a sane answer. However does Mercury really have ice on it? It sounds so crazy it might be true.

Yes, it's there. Mercury's orbit and rotation is so awkward, there's a small area that never faces the sun and there's ice. It was discovered. Now, how did it get there? The Moon has ice too and Space: 1999 will end up being a reality, I think.

Storm troopers are supposed to be clones .... Also, it's much more menacing because it dehumanizes them.

The first stormtroopers were clones of Jango Fett.

I never thought of this, but someone asks, "Why did you (the Emperor) make your clone army using a bounty hunter, instead of a Sith?"

Because training a sith or a jedi is resource intensive and no one ever said the force was related to genetics (and if you assume The Lensman is the basis for the force, it's unlikely). Also, as you'll recall, the clones were made to be docile.
