Kuokkanen -> RE: Top 10 Things Star Wars Ep. 4-6 Did Wrong (6/1/2014 4:32:07 PM)

Let's have some discussion about this.
8. THE DEATH STAR
Apparently the guy hasn't read novel Darksaber. I have. That novel has designer of the Death Star and flashbacks to it. Emperor himself summoned the designer and told him one fighter had destroyed it. Designer says something like: "Exhaust port? I knew I had missed something." Even if exhaust port had been barricaded, just blow up the barricade away, then shoot through.
6. THE WHOLE LUKE IS LEIA'S SISTER THING
That is written wrong, in the video. Talk about pressing point too far... I wonder what that guy would say about this. Truth is stranger than fiction...
5. 'BEN KENOBI IS AN *!
Right? Well... Movies could have some things that are not revealed to audience. One thing that is revealed, is Palpatine telling to Anakin that he, Anakin himself, killed Padme and children in his rage. Becouse at that point Anakin/Darth Vader believes anything and everything Palpatine tells him, he never had a reason to look for his children. Another is continuity error: original movies seem to assume Anakin/Vader never knew being a father. Same goes to member of Jedi Council declaring Anakin being too old for Jedi training. Maybe manuscript writers didn't have enough fact checkers...
In some novel Luke recounts his visit to ... Sky City. Damn, I have forgot the planet. You know what I mean. Luke says by rushing there he didn't do any good. 5th episode (Empire Strikes Back) reveals Jedi having ability to predict the future. Maybe Yoda & Kenobi wanted Luke to go there, make that one mistake, and learn from it, all the while knowing he has a good chance to survive and come back. And reinforce Luke's resolve to go through it by apparently trying to talk him out of it. If they had told him Vader is his daddy, it would have weakened that resolve and maybe stopped him from going. This is just my guessing, but if I hit on the target, this point (#5) is moot.
4. BOBA FETT IN EPISODE 6
"What the Hell was he even doing there?" Maybe Jabba had offered him a room in his palace to be used as his home and he took up the offer? Command Jabba's guards/soldiers? About his death... Han Solo next to him was practically blind, so why should he have worried about him? Still embarrassing way to get killed. There are worse ways to die and it happens. In another movie american soldiers play football inside barracks building, one falls, hits his head to corner of the table, and dies.
3. THE DARK SIDE
My grandmother told me something, could have been about alcohol: "If it is given little finger, it will take whole hand. When it has taken hand, it will take whole person." I'm fairly certain that was adapted for the dark side. And the dark side is manifestation of evil. Like good-neutral-evil alignment in Dungeons & Dragons. Furthermore it could have been like a string connecting Sith master, the puppet master, to his apprentices, the puppets. Novel The last command strongly suggest this. With Sith masters dead and Palpatine's last will fulfilled, Mara Jade is free woman and her own mistress despite being aligned to the dark side. Luke didn't fall for it becouse he didn't kill his own father, but Anakin was confused and had helped Palpatine kill Jedi master, so he was more frakked up and easier puppet for Palpatine.
2. THE STORMTROOPERS
Guy totally forgot beginning of the 4th episode, where stormtroopers capture and secure Leia's ship. They did that right.
