Because you can't go back in time to answer all the mysteries of the present. Not kosher in my books. Not trying to bust balls...just need some answers.
You guys are over analyzing a really hokey si-fi flick.
WWII Dogfighting in space?
The “laser” guns have a recoil?
Star wars is mindless entertainment. Put brain in neutral and enjoy.

Can things really explode in space...doesn't it take air to create a fireball? Is the air inside the ship enough to cause such explosions.
Also the laser guns shot lasers that are slower than bullets. What gives.
R2 D2 first flew in Attack of the Clones.
It pisses off this fan (who sounds like the "You Suck At Photoshop" guy): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-0Ej8Dq3P4
Maybe R2 got damaged between episode 2 and episode 4.
Or maybe Lucas will re-edit the original trilogy with flying R2 just to ass rape the fans for a few more bucks.

Is there a safety switch?
Yeah, I hadn't seen Return of The Jedi in a long time, so I watched it on Spike! I remember the final scene well, so I was taken back when I saw Hayden Christensen edited in, replacing Sebastian Shaw in the original version, I was like ...WTF?! Actually it looked a little weird with the young Anakin standing alongside the old Obi-Wan, but what do I care, really.jerbear said:
Maybe they edited it to show that the "real anakin" died when he was burned

Just a thought.

Only those who possess The Force can use it. Han Solo was tonging Princess Leah, who had The Force, so he could use it one time.

As for a fireball in space: They use a liquid fuel (at least in real life they do) and liquid oxygen as an oxidizer so when they fire up the rockets there IS flame. So if there's an ignition source, fuel, an oxidizer, you have all the incredients for a fireball.
As for the blaster shots: saying they are slower than bullets is a misnomer. Bullets travel anywhere from 400 to 3000 feet per second so to which bullet are you referring to?
As for them being "light" and should travel at the speed of light, think of being at a hockey game, wedding, or rock concert. This works better when you're high up in the stands and are looking down at the floor seats or those close to the floor. Thousands of times I've seen people with shitty P&S cameras taking flash pictures and you can actually see the flash travel from the source and only reach 5 or 6 rows in front of it because they aren't strong enough to reach the stage.

Fine this is what you get then.....
Hey if you're going to start wagging your finger at me, I might just wagg something else lol

Re Fireball occuring or not: it doesn't take much to ignite a liquid fuel if there is oxygen present. The liquid oxygen would vaporize almost immediately due to the vacuum and add some vaporized fuel and you have the ingredients for a fireball...or at least a flame.
As for my concert example, my point was you can see the light travelling even though it is extremely fast which is why you can see the laser blasts. I mean, there could be some argument in regards to the ingredients of those blasts. Most likely they are particle beam weapons which could slow them down....but hey, I'm not a molecular physicist.....
As for K: yeah, you'd see it, and no opera glasses would be required! hehehe
Another and more important question...in Empire Strikes back when the Mil Fal is being chased by the Imperial fleet through the asteroid belt and they hide inside the big worm...they get out of the ship and then realize they're inside the worm. Is there oxygen in the worm for them to breath. I find this a little suspect because the worm lives in a hole inside a bigger asteroid with arguably no oxygen or atmosphere. Therefore the worm would have to produce oxygen which leads to another problem...what is it making the oxygen with?
asn said:
Yeah maybe, but Leah, Han Solo (don't know about Chewbacca) need oxygen. So then the worm produces Oxygen inside its belly?
And you were doing so well up till this. The flash from a camera does travel the speed of light and unless you have some supernatural ability to slow time, that's not what you see. The light would travel that 5 or so meters in less than a millionth of a second.tboy said:
Why does the light not reach the stage? Well it does but not all of it. The light can diffract and disperse from the smoke in the air and also looses intensity as it spreads out over a larger wave front. Light can also lose it's energy as it travels through a medium such as air due to collisions with air particles. This explains why a flashlight doesn't light up things miles away and why sunlight doesn't travel to the bottom of the ocean.
More importantly, why we see the lasers in the movie is it's a damn movie!
(I believe a particle beam would also travel at the speed of light)
