Lastly - has anyone ever thought of the need for "mining gases"?  Pretty lame if you ask me. 

Hydrogen doesn't grow on trees (yet odly, oxygen does). In the future (after we've invaded all of the middle-east and consumed all their oil) we may begin mining asteroids and moons for various gases. I've read somewhere that we only have enough helium for 20 more years.

Which is why we need to support nuclear fusion! How else will we build Zepplins in the 23rd Century? :D

And FYI the gas mined from Bespin was tibanna gas, which is a rare gas used in the production of the more advanced hyper-drive reactors.  8)
Done. SLATFATF.

Sure the original Star Wars will always be THE classic, but I don't think the others are disappointing. Star Wars is one big movie to live up to....

Also, I am just crazy about Natalie Portman. She makes Leia look like something Chewie would cough up.




Natalie Portman is pretty okay, but Carrie Fisher in ROTJ was HOT.

Carrie Fisher was hot mainly because she wore that skimpy bikini outfit.

Now if George Lucas could get Natalie Portman into a similar outfit for Return of the Sith then he will have totally redeemed himself at least in my eyes.  :)


Another thing that irritates me about The Empire Strikes Back is when they land on that asteriod and leave the spaceship!

Two problems -

First of all the asteriod would have had very low gravity due to its size, but they walk around normally.

Secondly, they have token face masks but no proper spacesuits. The asteroid probably wouldn't have had any atmosphere because of the low gravity so how do they deal with the low temperature and pressure?

And what was the worm creature living on? There appeared to be a distinct lack of vegetation or other animals on the asteroid!
