his wife was pregnant a second time around the time he turned... because he
knew that he would have a son AND a daughter.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hey Daniel,
arefully,
Well, in the movies we don't know how tough it was.  If we judge by
armor "toughness" we have to start with the stormtroopers and then the
armor in SW looks pretty poor.  Who knows how strong Fett's was.  At any
rate, no, they do not do a super CGI zoom in and show him getting cut in
half and blood flying all over.  It is a quick scene and he falls in
sideways (as in body in the mouth and arms and legs on the outside) and
then it bites down. The scene is over in about 3 seconds or something.
