    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

  • @jayb8934

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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...

    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.

    #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.

    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.

    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".

    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.

      It's not his only throne room, but it's one of them. It's called his throne room quite consistently in SW media.

    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).
