    Fun fact: In the novelization of the movie, Luke misses hooking the grapple on anything on his first try and has to pull it back up and try again. But as far as pacing goes, it makes total sense that you'd cut that from the movie. We can always assume that Luke was unconsciously using the Force the way Anakin was pod racing in The Phantom Menace.

    • @squidcaps4308

      Luke is not the nice guy you think he is. He used the Force to edit the movie and remove all of those parts. Then he added Jar Jar Binks to the universe. Hashtag nevaforget.

    Something I have to add about Jamie's throw with the grappling hook:
    He came at it from the front, but that's not what we saw in the movie.
    Luke tossed it from quite a bit to the side, so he only had to throw over the bar with enough force (no pun intended) for the grappling hook to swing back and hook onto the rope.
    And that makes it a much easier task.

    The ewoks' two-log system was effective and visually pleasing, but it seems like they'd have been just as well-off with a single log to knock the walker over. I don't think those things have much of a srimech.

    • @violetlight1548
      @violetlight1548 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The Ewoks didn't build those traps for the AT-STs. They used traps they had already set for the Gorax, giant Ewok-eating creatures that roamed the Forest Moon (also why they built their villages high in the trees), and knocking *them* over would have just pissed them off. They just came in handy against the walkers.

      Probably not quite, but maybe 75%. Jamie has been weighed at around 190-200lbs which is about 95kg, where Mark would have been around 70kg and Carrie was likely around 50 given their heights and appearances.
      But of course Jamie with that actress together weighed way more than Luke and Leia.

      lmao, and that line made no sense considering how Stormtroopers were pretty lame. Their aim was average. Whereas the mythbusters were horrifically inaccurate as they NEVER once followed the last step of the scientific method. Repeat. The repeat never ends. It's quite literally on an infinite loop until enough data point are gathered, which requires thousands of repeats.
      You want precision? What purpose was Luke's hook designed for? Exactly what he used it for, it was the ascension cable out of an E-11 Blaster. What's the gravity on Endor? Was an AT-ST designed to take what an armoured humvee can? They don't factor the first one, and the second one is a direct contradiciton, as the humvee is built to withstand RPGs, whereas the AT-ST is not, so they used a MORE armoured vehicle. Much precision. Do you know the internal temperature of a tauntaun, or how quickly an advanced survival tent could go up in that Galaxy, or how hard Luke was drawing on the Force in the moment? No, no, and no. We know tauntauns run hotter than us, and we know they're adapted to cold climates. It was only due to the fact they were out in a storm that made it too cold for the tauntaun. We know their tech is better than ours, and we can presume it goes up faster. And we know Luke was unconscious but reaching out to Obi-Wan, which means he was reaching out in the Force, which provides natural protection and healing.

      An updraft or downdraft would be from temperature differences in the air in different parts of the Death Star, not from air coming from outside the station. It happens everywhere, even in a car, so it's perfectly reasonable in an industrial setting.

    I really love how they had someone with a figure that's somewhat similar to Luke's, and instead chose the person whose build is as drastically different as possible to cast in that role. It helps to drive home how accurately they test these myths. I suspect it would be less painful for the belt swing because of the lower weight, but more difficult to hold the princess because of the lower muscle mass.

    I'm wondering how they do their calculations... the logs smashing the AT-ST in the movie were definitely not 10 feet long and 5 feet in diameter. Even if one of those dimensions were correct, that is a length to diameter ratio of 2:1, and the logs in the movie are either significantly longer or they are thinner.

    About Luke and throwing the grappling hook. They are going at it like Luke wasn't sorta trained in the use of a hook. He totally was. He is 18 at the time and in the movie he says he often hangs out with Biggs and trains for the Empire Academy shooting and other stuff. So it is highly plausible Luke had already experience throwing the hook.
    With the swinging logs it was also that the Ewok logs were not flat like they tested it with, but slightly pointed adding to the penetrating power.

    A rock climbing harness would fit the situation fairly well and its not overly uncomfortable when you're suspended in it.

    The Tauntaun may be inspired by a myth of Childe The Hunter from Dartmoor, UK.
    Childe was a local landowner in the middle ages who loved hunting on horseback and so he went hunting on his own in the middle of winter (a grade A* stupid idea); his horse got injured and Childe ended up lost in the middle of a snowstorm on the moor. In the hopes of surviving long enough to be rescued, he cut open his horse and climbed inside to stay warm.
    Unfortunately for Childe, the snowstorm lasted several days and so he died of exposure. As he had no children, he'd left a clause in his will that would bequeath his extensive lands to whomever buried his body. This covenant sparked a race between the townspeople of Tavistock to the west and the monks of Plympton Priory to the east.
    Not knowing that area of Dartmoor very well, the townspeople thought the only way the monks could reach the body was via an ancient clapper bridge, so they set up an ambush for them. The monks, having made numerous pilgrimages across the moor, were tipped off and snuck past the ambush using a fordable area upstream. This allowed them to recover the body and claim Childe's land for Plympton.

    The grappling hook throw - 1) Luke did have the force, even if it was rudimentary it still did help and 2) nobody said he actually hit his target with the hook - he happened to hit something and that is all that mattered.
    For the Taun Taun- Luke’s body temperature was LOWER to start since he was already close to hypothermia when Han found him. Luke also only needed to be in the Taun Taun briefly, since Han quickly built an emergency shelter where they were found the next morning.

  • @aldunlop4622
    @aldunlop4622 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I thought the whole idea of the Tauntaun was that Han removed the guts so Luke could go inside to use the beast's thermal properties, like it's fat and fur, not to use the guts to warm him. The idea was to stop the wind chill and Luke's body would actually the warmth. Basically, using the animal as a blanket.

  • @Daniel-cz7kd
    @Daniel-cz7kd 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Of course one thing Jamie kinda misquoted, he asks Adam if he should use the force, for small reminder, Luke never uses the force at any time in the Death Star, mostly due to his, as Ben points out, “first step into understanding the force” , so even for him it was all strictly manual

    You know, in the Tauntaun experiment, they assumed a freshly dead Tauntaun would be it's regulated body temperature. However, the Tauntaun froze to death, so the body should've been at the temperature cold enough to kill it.

    • @broccolee6035

      When someone or something freezes to death it doesn't mean that their insides are cold, lots of times its actually the exact opposite

    This is not surprising that the tautaun guts method is working. This is what Arctic indigenous people actually have done, when someone had extreme hypothermia.
