Fun fact, Alec Guinness was around 62 when making the original SW. Ewan McGregor was 50-51 while filming the Kenobi series. So yeah, the timeline pretty much matches. I know, I feel old now too... 🥺
In the radio drama, they explain space noise by saying that the sensors on the Falcon converted their telemetry into audio cues so Han and Luke could "hear" the TIE fighters.
Honestly I fully bought Obi Wan aging 10 years between episodes 1 and 2. For the longest time when I was a kid I fully thought they used two different actors for Obi Wan across the two movies tbh, didn’t even realize it was the same actor due to the beard and hair change. Obviously as an adult it’s much more clear that it’s the same actor but, it still feels like the 10 years of aging for the character actually happened. Padme however I can argue doesn’t feel like she aged, but Obi Wan absolutely did
The explanation given for sound in space used in some early sources, including the original novelization and radio drama, is that ships basically convert sensor data into sound for the crew/pilot to hear as an audio cue of what's going on outside. Easier to "hear" a ship fly by to the left or incoming fire than to have to check monitors to know what's going on. So as the audience, we're hearing what's being broadcast inside of ships.
Since a light sabre can only be used safely by a Jedi and everyone else is in constant danger of chopping off their own limbs, and Jedi can force manipulate objects, the activation button is either arbitrary or not needed to be physically pushed at all ...
George Lucas has stated the Star Wars universe is FANTASY not science fiction. So if you have no problem with a laser sword, no problem with being able to travel faster than light speed and no problem with The Force, then you should have no problem believing fire in space or noise in space. From George's mouth himself... Fantasy not science fiction.
The term 'fiction' itself means that it's a synonym of 'fantasy' (as in not reality). I'm a Star Wars nerd, but I'm also a language nerd. Yes, Star Wars IS a 'space fantasy' - that's obvious
Star Wars is Science Fantasy - it's loosely based on science but adds metaphysical elements Star Trek is Science Fiction - it's based on science, and the technobabble hides the bits we cannot justify ...
It's what's called "soft" sci-fi. There's a scale of "soft" science fiction which doesn't really focus on the science and is basically just fantasy with tech instead of magic (although Star Wars has magic too), and aliens instead of elves, dwarves, etc, and "hard" science fiction that focuses on scientific realism.
Are you kidding? ANYTHING science fiction or fantasy needs SOME baseline in reality or the audience can't get behind it. Even the most out there sci fi or fantasy at least sticks to the BASICS of physics and if they stray away from the basics they usually make some kind of explination for it. The Force, Magic, etc. They did nothing like that. They just let a campfire burn in space and made not even the slightest attempt to explain it. Even in fantasy, you can't break the basics without a fantasy explanation at least. It's good writing 101 man...
Ok, lets not forget return of the jedi happens on the incomplete death star 2. One would assume the throne room, as the most ornate and non-essential room on the station, would be the very last thing to be completed. That was not the real throne room, just an open space with a swivel chair.
well they're still in the atmosphere and gravity of Exegol so yes tipping would get the horses and rebels off the ship but it would also disrupt and injure quite a few Final Order personnel inside the ship as they slide and whack into walls and consoles. They must've deemed it not worth the risk. Plus they're (over)confident that their Sith troopers can handle them.
Luke barely cried when Owen & Beru got torched, beyond they were supposed to have lunch ready when he got back. Luke: "There's still Good in him; I could feel it!" Leia: "Was that before or after he cut off your hand? He blew-up up my entire home-planet, ya know. And was in the room with me and the torture bot. Did your now-dead friends Obi-Waa or Kermit the Piggy ever tell you about dear-old-dad and the Temple younglings? Do you even *care* my boyfriend is a drug-runner and trafficker of sentient beings; DO YOU?! NOOO, Mister 'I could feel it' McFeelyface!!!" No wonder she turned-off R2-D2 and ghosted (didn't bother to look for) her DNA-sharer for so many decades.
There was some 90's PC space shooter game that directly addressed the topic of sounds in space. Basically it was software that was loaded into the cockpit of each fighter designed to provide acoustic cues to the pilot when things around him were going on. (Oh and there were different upgrade packages, the default was basic shooter pew-pew kaboom sounds, but more detailed ones would start adding more detailed and special sound effects certain things. This was like after 16-bit sound cards became standard and PC's no longer relied on the bleeps and bloops) Since if you couldn't hear an explosion behind you, you wouldn't think to check what just blew up. And as for why "explosions" happen, explosion doesn't necessarily mean "thermobaric reaction of fuel and air" it's simply....an explosion. Like a hull rupture, and all that pressure goes pop.
My favorite Jedi is Shaak Ti. In the original Clome Wars animated series, Greivous murdered several Jedi. But Shaak Ti went toe-to-toe with him and survived. Episode 3 amd everything after massively disrespected one of the most badass Jedi ever.
Episodes 7, 8, and 9 are the Thrawn trilogy which haven't been adapted to film yet. Sadly, we'll never get that sequel trilogy with the original cast because they're too old to portray the characters only five years after Episode 6 and saddest of all: Carrie Fisher has passed away. RIP the last daughter of Alderaan.
So when it comes to the whole 'Like and his mom' thing, there is another thing to keep in mind - everything he's been told is likely from his uncle Owen and his aunt Beru. Who as far as I recall - met her that one time briefly on Tatooine. Owen likely learned more about Anakin or at least had more to go off of when making up things about his being a pilot and all (as well as the line when Beru says he's too much like his father and Owen replies 'That's what I'm afraid of' so he definitely has some knowledge), which is then followed by Obi-Wan mentioning his father - not his mother. Obi-Wan is likely the one that knew his mother best of those he met, other than if Leia was told about her from her adoptive parents, and we all know how forthcoming with the truth he was in the OT - for all we know Luke asked off screen and told him she was some moisture farmer on Tatooine so he wouldn't go digging.
Obviously the most bizarre one IMO was how it's supposedly only 9 years after the Clone Wars that episode 3 and A New Hope but Obi-Wan seems to have aged at least 30 years if not 40.
Palpatine, in my mind, had the reactor shaft in his throne room for intimidation, and also to rid himself of problems (often by having Vader toss them in). He truly fell victim to his own machinations.
I've always been bothered by the queen of Naboo being an elected position. It was fine to have a 13 year old queen in a hereditary monarchy, it can happen. But you're telling me an entire planet decided on multiple occasions that the most wise and emotionally stable person they could choose was a 13 year old girl?!?! Palpatine was right to size power there.
Have you seen Ralph Macchio from The Karate Kid? Dude looks almost exactly the same now in his 60's that he did in his 30s. It always sounds ridiculous when someone says "The don't look that old" like there's "a look" to every age. Obi Wan was also a Jedi, maybe the light side of the force makes you look young like the dark side makes you look deformed or something. Hell... Qui Gon Jin was suppose to be in his 60s in Phantom Menace... Age is not a thing so easily seen in the face.
To be fair it's been nearly 20 years since episode 3 and Ewan McGregor doesn't look 20 years older, 5-10 at most. Scottish genes are apparently crazy powerful 🏴
@@wallythewondercorncake8657 In much of sci-fi, the interaction between a planet's gravity and whatever gravity tech they use often causes problems if they don't match.
@@wallythewondercorncake8657 that would make sense. I just assumed the artificial gravity only kicked on out of atmosphere but there’s no reason it can’t just be always on.
Obi-wan's lack of aging between I and II isn't something I'd ever thought of as bizarre. Lot's of people really don't look that different between their mid 20s and mid 30s. The bizarre thing about Obi-wan's age and appearance is the opposite. He's only supposed to have aged 19 years between being Ewan McGregor in III and Alec Guinness in IV. It's even worse given the Disney Plus series that takes place right in the middle, just 9 or so years before IV. Canonically, Obi-wan was only 57 in IV while Guinness was 62, and frankly, looked a bit older.
Why do people keep trying to apply things like logic and real science to Star Wars? George Lucas never prioritized those things in the original trilogy. Why should the new filmmakers making Star Wars projects now do it any differently? It's about the thrills we get watching it, not intellectual logic. So, either enjoy the ride or don't. Theres no need to nitpick so much with a franchise that isn't supposed to "make sense." And to all those that would disagree with me that the original trilogy threw logic (even within it's own Universe's rules) out the window, I present my "Exhibit A" in this case. In "The Empire Strikes Back" (which is STILL the greatest Star Wars movie of them all, and likely will always remain so...) it was CLEARLY established that the Millennium Falcon's only means of faster than light travel, its hyperdrive, was damaged beyond repair (barring outside assistance) either before or during the escape from the Hoth System. And yet, the ship was still able to make it to Bespin on sublight engines alone. And it is also clear that in this story Bespin was not in the same system because the characters on the Falcon were openly considering their options, and naming other systems (literally using the word "system" at least once to do so), before Bespin was even mentioned and decided upon as their destination. The spaces between star systems in galaxies are measured in lightyears and parsecs. Logically, there is no way the Millenium Falcon could have made it from one system to another on sublight engines alone while its biological occupants were even still alive, let alone with them not even seeming to age significantly at all. So, again, I say either shut up and enjoy the ride, or don't enjoy it and just stop with the endlessly unneccessary nitpicking if you don't. Star Wars has always been nothing more than obviously flawed escapism. Just let it continue to be what it is.
Toxic Star Wars fans forgetting the other "SOMEHOW"s that happened: -somehow Luke landed in Yoda's front yard. -somehow R2D2 made it down the stairs in EP 4 at docking bay 94. -somehow the Ewoks had a tailored dress for Leia. Toxic Fans will cry REGARDLESS!
Somehow Yoda used the Force to take down Luke's X-Wing in the right spot so he could test him. (Heir to the Empire, 1991) Somehow R2 had rocket thrusters. (Revenge of the Sith, 2005) Somehow the Ewoks were cannibals. (Return of the Jedi, 1983)
The only one of these I even briefly thought about out was the sound in space one and it never bothered me. You don’t watch Star Wars for the realism (or the dialogue……or acting).
The so called throne room in the Death Star was not actually his throne room. The rebels blew up the first Death Star so why would he want to stay there. Also you see him arrive on the DS so that should be an indicator that it wasn't a throne room
Honestly, the only character not aging that stood out to me was Padme. The others were already adults and once you reach a certain age, you don't visibly change as much for a while. However, Padme was only fourteen in Episode 1 and teenagers can change a lot in a few years so the fact that she looked the same after ten years is kind of silly. You could argue that she tried to make herself look more mature when she was queen, but make up can only do so much. Natalie Portman did a great job with the character though, and I can't imagine anyone else doing the role justice!
Why do we assume that people from Naboo or from whatever planet Kenobi is from originally age at the same rate as Earth humans or show their age as we do? Just because they look humanoid on the outside doesn't mean their biology isn't different.
@@emilymoisuc8579 according to all official material, humans in Star Wars are indeed human. Although, due to advanced medical technology, they do tend to have longer lifespans, especially Force users.
@@jayb8934 Even if every planet had biologically identical humans on them it would not take long (at a galactic time scale) for them all to evolve to something unlike the original. It's possible humans on one planet would live longer then humans on another planet. That being said... EVERY human being I've ever grown up with looks pretty much the same between 14 and 24. People don't drastically change during that period of time save maybe weight, physique, height , etc. In fact, most of my childhood friends look the same as they did when we were kids.
The second Death Star was operational but not complete. Maybe they had every intention of closing off direct access to the shaft from the throne room, but getting the station operational was the bigger priority.
Actually that was never meant to be a throne room. It was make shift one since the station was not completed. He needed a vantage point for Like to see the battle as part of the plan to turn him.
That's kind of the explanation used in some sources, including the original novelization and radio drama. Ships basically convert sensor data into sound for the crew/pilot to hear as an audio cue of what's going on outside. Easier to "hear" a ship fly by to the left or incoming fire than to have to check monitors to know what's going on.
When Luke asks Leia if she remembers her mother, she wouldnt be talkong about Padme, she'd be talking about Mrs Organa. Sidious had an exposed reactor shaft in his thrown room because Deathstar 2 was still under construction amd the scene would have been super awkward with tradesmen still installing walls. Obi Wan doesn't appear to age 10 years between episode 1 and 2 because he moisturizes and exfoliates.
I always took the noisy explosions as what it sounded like to the people inside the ships, not what an observer would hear, which is nothing. In The Last Jedi, when Vice Admiral Holdo rams the pursuing ship at hyper speed, the seconds of absolute silence were deafening. The explosions were the result of the vehicles' energy source exploding. They carry their own propulsion and oxygen. If it all gets mixed together at once, well, BOOM! As for the other stuff mentioned, even if I did notice it, I threw it off as "well it's science fantasy, not science fiction." Star Trek is also science fantasy, but at least they always try to throw in some Treknobabble to try to explain it, which is entertaining all by itself. My favorite was the Heisenberg Compensators mentioned in the TNG episode "Relics".
The trench run in Ep 4 tactically makes no sense, why not go in directly from space and shoot a dozen torpedoes instead of endlessly running through a heavily armed trench, and getting shot down one by one before even arrivng at target...? Its like with the those Eagles in LOTR i guess... ...NB: The Jedi with the long neck in Ep 1.
#10 Yeah well haven't you hear that sometimes its better to show wisdom by remaining silent and having people THINK you're stupid than opening your mouth and removing ALL doubt?🤷🏼♂️🤓😎✌🏼
The images are somewhat different from the story. July is said to be the only human, but in one image there's an all human class, the wolverine is from X-men. And why is there fire and smoke in the foreground? Is the classroom on fire?
In regards to the Palpitine throne room: Actually that was never meant to be a throne room. It was make shift one since the station was not completed. He needed a vantage point for Like to see the battle as part of the plan to turn him.
#7 Luke asks Obi-Wan about his mom, finds out he is the rightful heir to the throne on Naboo. "Screw that message, I should be a king!" Gets Han to fly him to Naboo instead of Alderaan and he rules the planet. Vader eventually learns about it. Vader visits, teaches Luke to use the force. Father and son overthrow the Emperor and rule the galaxy together as father and son. I'd watch a non-canon "how it could have been" animated movie with that story. Nevermind. I forgot that the Queen was elected on Naboo instead of being a hereditary title. They should have just called her a prime minister or something.
I mean.. Yoda is the head of the council and as such the spokesman of them.. Its widely believed Mace Windu was his follow-up and thats why he was also allowed to voice his opinion. Anakin has had 2 lightsabers. One before and one after Geonosis.. they both ignite differently
Sound in space is a common thing in sci-fi movies and shows. Star Trek does it too. Firefly/Serenity is the only one I can think of off the top of my head that doesn’t have sound in space.
Fun fact, Alec Guinness was around 62 when making the original SW. Ewan McGregor was 50-51 while filming the Kenobi series. So yeah, the timeline pretty much matches.
I know, I feel old now too... 🥺
My favourite Jedi Master is Kit Fisto. Love his grin after he force pushes battle droid C3PO in AOTC
In the radio drama, they explain space noise by saying that the sensors on the Falcon converted their telemetry into audio cues so Han and Luke could "hear" the TIE fighters.
But spinning inquisition lightsabers are somehow unrealistic?
Which is another way of Lucas not admitting that he screwed up (again). Much like his 'parsecs' boo-boo
I think that the original novelization said the same thing.
@eren34558 the whole star wars is very unrealistic
Not in the council, but Kitt Fisto is my favorite. I just love saying Kitt Fisto.

Honestly, the only character not aging that stood out to me was Padme. The others were already adults and once you reach a certain age, you don't visibly change as much for a while. However, Padme was only fourteen in Episode 1 and teenagers can change a lot in a few years so the fact that she looked the same after ten years is kind of silly. You could argue that she tried to make herself look more mature when she was queen, but make up can only do so much. Natalie Portman did a great job with the character though, and I can't imagine anyone else doing the role justice!
Imagine if they had cast Hayden in Episode I to play the 9 year old Anakin as well! 😂
Why do we assume that people from Naboo or from whatever planet Kenobi is from originally age at the same rate as Earth humans or show their age as we do? Just because they look humanoid on the outside doesn't mean their biology isn't different.
@@emilymoisuc8579 according to all official material, humans in Star Wars are indeed human. Although, due to advanced medical technology, they do tend to have longer lifespans, especially Force users.

@@jayb8934 Even if every planet had biologically identical humans on them it would not take long (at a galactic time scale) for them all to evolve to something unlike the original. It's possible humans on one planet would live longer then humans on another planet. That being said... EVERY human being I've ever grown up with looks pretty much the same between 14 and 24. People don't drastically change during that period of time save maybe weight, physique, height , etc. In fact, most of my childhood friends look the same as they did when we were kids.
The second Death Star was operational but not complete. Maybe they had every intention of closing off direct access to the shaft from the throne room, but getting the station operational was the bigger priority.
Yeah. I figured the drywall guys hadn't been in yet. 😂
Actually that was never meant to be a throne room. It was make shift one since the station was not completed. He needed a vantage point for Like to see the battle as part of the plan to turn him.
My favorite council member is Saesee Tiin!

Maybe the sound in space thing is a wave that ships make out of themselves to warn other fighters
That's kind of the explanation used in some sources, including the original novelization and radio drama. Ships basically convert sensor data into sound for the crew/pilot to hear as an audio cue of what's going on outside. Easier to "hear" a ship fly by to the left or incoming fire than to have to check monitors to know what's going on.
@@jayb8934 that is great 👑
When Luke asks Leia if she remembers her mother, she wouldnt be talkong about Padme, she'd be talking about Mrs Organa.
Sidious had an exposed reactor shaft in his thrown room because Deathstar 2 was still under construction amd the scene would have been super awkward with tradesmen still installing walls.
Obi Wan doesn't appear to age 10 years between episode 1 and 2 because he moisturizes and exfoliates.
didn't Anakin have his Lightsaber damaged in episode 2
I always took the noisy explosions as what it sounded like to the people inside the ships, not what an observer would hear, which is nothing. In The Last Jedi, when Vice Admiral Holdo rams the pursuing ship at hyper speed, the seconds of absolute silence were deafening.
The explosions were the result of the vehicles' energy source exploding. They carry their own propulsion and oxygen. If it all gets mixed together at once, well, BOOM!
As for the other stuff mentioned, even if I did notice it, I threw it off as "well it's science fantasy, not science fiction."
Star Trek is also science fantasy, but at least they always try to throw in some Treknobabble to try to explain it, which is entertaining all by itself. My favorite was the Heisenberg Compensators mentioned in the TNG episode "Relics".
The trench run in Ep 4 tactically makes no sense, why not go in directly from space and shoot a dozen torpedoes instead of endlessly running through a heavily armed trench, and getting shot down one by one before even arrivng at target...? Its like with the those Eagles in LOTR i guess...
...NB: The Jedi with the long neck in Ep 1.
#10 Yeah well haven't you hear that sometimes its better to show wisdom by remaining silent and having people THINK you're stupid than opening your mouth and removing ALL doubt?🤷🏼♂️🤓😎✌🏼
The images are somewhat different from the story.
July is said to be the only human, but in one image there's an all human class, the wolverine is from X-men.
And why is there fire and smoke in the foreground? Is the classroom on fire?
In regards to the Palpitine throne room: Actually that was never meant to be a throne room. It was make shift one since the station was not completed. He needed a vantage point for Like to see the battle as part of the plan to turn him.
You forgot the fake Carrie Fisher CGI abomination at the end of Rogue One.
Ive always accepted the sounds in space as a poets licence situation since space isn't real and the earth is flat.

What is a Jediaya?

#7 Luke asks Obi-Wan about his mom, finds out he is the rightful heir to the throne on Naboo. "Screw that message, I should be a king!" Gets Han to fly him to Naboo instead of Alderaan and he rules the planet. Vader eventually learns about it. Vader visits, teaches Luke to use the force. Father and son overthrow the Emperor and rule the galaxy together as father and son. I'd watch a non-canon "how it could have been" animated movie with that story.
Nevermind. I forgot that the Queen was elected on Naboo instead of being a hereditary title. They should have just called her a prime minister or something.
I mean.. Yoda is the head of the council and as such the spokesman of them.. Its widely believed Mace Windu was his follow-up and thats why he was also allowed to voice his opinion. Anakin has had 2 lightsabers. One before and one after Geonosis.. they both ignite differently
Sound in space is a common thing in sci-fi movies and shows. Star Trek does it too. Firefly/Serenity is the only one I can think of off the top of my head that doesn’t have sound in space.
The Emperor had the reactor shaft in his throne room cause that's how he cooked his hotdogs.
His hot dog most likely was ALREADY cooked.
Sound has been a thing in every sci-fi movie I've ever seen.
Everyone accepted explosions in space until the acolyte when ppl needed a reason to hate it haha
Explosion (utilizing oxygen in the ship) and chill campfire outside are somehow different things.
The emperors throne -room makes no sense. The outside does not match the inside layout
