How can a Rebel pilot be expected to eject from their X-Wing above the surface of the first Death Star without dying in the vacuum of space?

If you could ask George Lucas a single question about an unresolved piece of Star Wars lore what would it be?

@alfredjviii Good description of Padmé, if a bit incomplete.

IMO, you handled that like a boss.

[Super Saiyan Starscream @ArmadaScreamer]

@alfredjviii That said, Obi-Wan's struggle with anxiety in that case is quite understandable.

After all, he'd never done battle with a Sith Lord prior to TPM.

[Super Saiyan Starscream @ArmadaScreamer]

Respectfully disagree.

IMO, Obi-Wan couldn't speed run due to his emotional state — something Qui-Gon called out in their first dialogue scene.

"Don't centre on your anxieties, … Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs."

It's implied Obi-Wan's anxieties about the future — about the what-if — have been an ongoing struggle for some time.

People in a state of anxiety don't believe you can do it. They fall into the mindset of trying — and as Yoda made clear in TESB:

"Do, or do not. There is no try."

Obi-Wan didn't clear the field because he was trying to clear the field. He didn't believe he could — and so he failed.

In fact, I'm going to go a step further and say that Death of The Author is retarded.

Every movie is a message in a bottle from the artist, and it's your job to decode it, not to see whatever message YOU want in it in order to satisfy your own ego and delusions.

@305pitbullstar Takotsubo cardiomyopathy would've left signs of physical damage.

Psychogenic death leaves none.

The droids couldn't detect any signs of disease, injury, or organ failure:

These twerps don't know anything about film, which is bad enough as it is.

However, it's their sheer ignorance that is truly contemptible.

Watching TLJ almost broke the Star Wars part of my brain.

It was five years before I watched a Star Wars film again — but when I finally sat and saw ANH again, it felt like coming home.

Don't let the Disney Trilogy (yeah, I don't call them the Sequels) ruin Star Wars for you.

They're not worth that, Rodimus.

[Alfred J. Vickers III @alfredjviii]

So many George Lucas haters will repeat this idea that George had practically nothing to do with ESB, implying Kershner simply marched in and completely took over Star Wars from George and did his own thing without supervision. Utterly absurd.

@alfredjviii He's welcome to hold that opinion.

We're not obligated to indulge it.

And we brought the receipts showing why.

@KevinLamb74 To those who call this assassination plot nonsensically or unrealistically overcomplicated, I like to point out this real life story.

[The Mighty Dud Bolt @mightydudbolt]

This isn't really how it happened. As scripted (by Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan), Han also avoids saying "I love you" to Leia. Instead he simply replies, "I'll be back."

By lucky chance, everything that happened on set that day was being recorded, and we have a transcript. So we know that, in between takes, Kershner and Ford discussed the scene and this particular line. Kershner actually told Ford he HAD to say, "I'll be back," as scripted. Then Ford suggested he say "I know" instead, and then Kershner agreed that was okay. Then they filmed the scene that way.

Irvin Kershner and Harrison Ford have both embellished the story over the years, claiming both that the original line was "I love you too" and that Ford was simply told to improvise by Kershner and came up with "I know" on the spot. But neither of these things is true. They did change the line, but Lucas didn't have "almost nothing to do with it." Lucas, of course, was responsible for the existence of the scene that made the moment possible in the first place, and Ford was simply riffing on the line that Lucas wrote with Kasdan, wherein Han ALSO gives a pithy reply which pointedly avoids directly reciprocating Leia's feelings.

The Padmé “dying of sadness” joke has become so common that the tragedy of her death is now overlooked.

Padmé, roughly 8 months pregnant, watched the Republic fall apart before her eyes and then learned that her husband was not only the cause of it, but did it in her name.
