He was the best strapilot in the galaxy

they could grip it by the husk....

parsec:

A unit of astronomical length based on the distance from Earth at which stellar parallax is one second of arc and equal to 3.258 light-years, 3.086 × 1013 kilometers, or 1.918 × 1013 miles.

what that means, i have no idea...except that a parsec is indeed a unit of measurement for distance, and not time or speed

Ohhhhhhh. It's very confusing 😮

yeah, i think that would make steven hawking scratch his head...
if he could scratch his head that is........

My man!

There's avery technical SW site somewhere, with techno geeks who try to explain everything SW scietifically. I used to drive them nuts with the two parsecs approach. 😂

be careful, or you may make them short circuit.

speaking of which, every now and then, for a good laugh...i read this post:

Oh dear…Okay, I’m joining this group to set a few things strait. You don’t have to listen to me I don’t suppose, because I’m not a expert on star wars, but I’m a big fan and I don’t have a phd in physics, but I’m working on it. First a little pet peeve, yes lightsabers do cut and are made of energy…but Light DOES cut, high intensity beams of light (lasers) do cut, and it is the cutting in part that generates the heat and not the heat that does the cutting (that is the reason they burn some materials, but cut others). Now, lightsabers underwater, a lightsaber’s blade is made of pure energy (presumably in the form of electrical plasma) focused by a crystal and buffered in an electromagnetic containment field being emitted from the magnetic projection plate. For standard use it is being used in a low density environment (air), and in this environment it generates no heat, therefore expending no energy, and losing no charge. If it were being used in a high density environment (water) a simple modification of lowering the cycling rate of the blade (how often the energy completes a circuit) and increasing the electromagnetic field strength would compensate for the density difference and enable use of the weapon. This is of course assuming that basic physics applies to lightsaber operation as modified in this way!

not to go off topic, but i just want to print that out and frame it,
to be hung in the "overanalytical star wars geek hall of fame"

he's going to be a doctor in physics mind you 😄

i'ma scared 😱

Yup, that's one of those techno geeks. I've read all about the plasma sabres. They can even explain all the itty-bitty details about travel in hyperspace. It's hilarious.

Back to topic, I thought the actual space battle footage(before the duel) was to be 10-15 min. long, like ep4,6, and the battle of geonosis,in ep2.

I'm hoping to see anakin as the leader of the squad, saving obi's ass, getting the most kills, and having the other jedi pilots, including jedi masters call him "commander skywalker" 😄

Would be kinda cool to echo the ot in that way.
