The force is strong with this one...

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2003)

I have seen this movie a hundred times. I love this movie. However, there are many scientific issues which, as a science fanatic I wish to point out.
First of all I have an issue with the line "A long tiem ago in a galaxy far far away." OK a) If they can travel at light speed then why havent they visited earth b) What time period is a long tiem ago?
Then there is the whole Jabba's palace scene which I also have a few issues:
a) wouldn't Han Solo die if he was 'frozen" in carbonite? b) Why does Luke wait until he is at the pit of the sarlac to save his friends
OK from there on until the battle of Endor, I don't have any issues. However, the Battle of endor on endor itself and the battle around the death star has
numerous issues:
a)Lightspeed has been scientificly proven to be unable to reach b) wouldn't the crafts disentigrate? c) If Endor has a hospitable atmosphere, how come there is no visible shielding on the shuttle Tiberium on which Han Solo and his crew travles d)Why does every one fight usign laser based weapons? e)if the stormtroopers have armor that is innafective against lasers, then why are they wearing armor? f) If construction on the 2nd "death star" is incomplete, and whsections are missing, wouldn't every one die? g) In the begennign of the battle, where do all those tie fighters come from? h) Once again, how do all those crafts blow up, due to laser shots, if they are wearign armor. i)on the death star, how coem only the emporer has those lightning bolts and
not Darth Vader. PALPETINE WAS NEVER A JEDI!!!! j) How can Darth Vader and Luke fight with swords, which can cut through just about everything except another lightsaber, if they are made out of light? k) How can Darth Vader survive in that outfit? l) not all of the Star Destroyers and Tie Fighters are destroyed what happened to them?
Aside from the numerous scientific errors, adn a lack of scientific correctness, over all, this movie was awesome! The Empire finially collapses, all the bad
guys die, so on so forth. The movie also boasts some of the best special efects of that decade. I only wish that episodes I, II, IV, and V could live up to this movie.
