This is from Entertainment Weekly: Besides scoring a record-breaking worldwide four-day gross of $304.2 million, they also left us scratching our heads. Sadly, the nice folks at Lucasfilm were too busy rolling around naked in piles of money to help end our confusion, so we turn to you, loyal EW readers. Hold us like you did by the lake on Naboo.
- Whitney Pastorek 1) How does Episode III's Evan McGregor morph into Episode IV's Sir Alec Guinness in just 19 years? (Also, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru look like WB teens in "Sith" - they're old and cranky in "A New Hope.") Is it Tatooine's desert climate? The two suns? Bad skin care? 2) It takes 19 years to build the first Death Star but just four to make the second fully operational. Did they use a better contractor, or did they just already know where everything went. 3) Why doesn't Obi-Wan recognize R2-D2 in Episode IV? And in the later trilogy, R2 seems to have lost the ability to catch things and leap friskily out of spaceships. Droid Arthritis? 4) Why'd it take Chancellor Palpatine like 26 different shout-outs to tell the stormtroopers to kill the Jedi. Couldn't Mister All-Powerful just set up a conference call? 5) In a world of Qui-Gons, Obi-Wans, and Anakins, where'd Padme come up with...Luke? General Hospital? __________________________________________________________________ The Black Prince. The Black Church. A State of Mind. http://www.theworldebon.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
