true, the Death Star space station is not fully operational until New Hope, but there could be a giant orbital laser of some sort, very similar to the one later incorporated as the weapon onboard the Death Star.
Maybe this giant laser is used in conjunction with Star Destroyers to help secure the blockade, and maybe the Empire uses the giant laser blockade against Naboo in a symbolic gesture as it was the Naboo blockade that started the whole twisted turn of events in episode 1...
that way, ep 3 ties back to ep 1, and also ties to ep 4 in more ways than one, PLUS the added bonus of seeing Naboo, the Gungans and Jar Jar Binks blown to bits...
YAY!!
darktim1 is correct (according to TF.N's "just the facts"π
>>>"I heard he goes to alderan with senator bail organa but who knows how he will die. He made me laugh for now may force be with you."
which kinda takes the edge off the tragedy of alderan in ep.4
instead of thinking "millions dead, how terrible" we'll be thinking
"HA HA jar jar's getting HIS"
also, it is stated that naboo will NOT be destroyed.
so there it is. chances are jar jar will die, but we won't get to see it =(
meesa very disappointed.
