Couple silly things I noticed about Star wars.

[Daliman]

I recently bought the first three,(second three?) movies on DVD, and there's a couple of things I noticed that are pretty incongruous from the first Star wars;

- Early on, Obi-Wan mentions that the shots fired against the Jawa trading vehicle are too accurate, yet Luke and Company get fired at hendreds of times, often from under 30 feet, and are never even scratched.

- Why the hell are 6 or so Stormtroopers running from Han solo when he runs after themwhen they are armed and looking for him?

-How is Luke pulled under by the garbage monster when it is pretty apparent the water(?) in the disposal is less than 2 feet deep?

-The new footage placed in with Jabba was obviously scrapped because of animatronic limitations of the day, but it pretty obvious the scene with Greedo was a replacement, not an ncillary scene to it, as almost the eact same lines of dialogue are used by Solo in each.

- How much more obviously gay can C3PO be?

- How does R2D2, a robot on rollers, get around rough terrain so well?

Also, what has George Lucas ever said publicly regarding his initial thoughts of this series. Did he only plan on making the first one, but had always hoped he could go further with it? Was It always in the cards that Darth was Luke AND Leia's father,( I would guess not both) because if so, there's a few scenes that are pretty off then;

-Leia appearing as a love interest for Luke, albeit weakly.
-Darth torturing his own daughter,(yeah, Dark side and all, but doesn't he show mercy later on in the series toward Luke?).

Either way, still a great movie. Planning on wathing the other 4 this week, mainly since I hear #6 is the best of all of them. Hopefully there are no more annoying characters like those jawas, though.....
