Did you ever notice?

This is a thread about general observations in the Star Wars movies. If this thread has been done before, then I am sorry.

Anyways...

Did you ever notice that the voices of the Jawa's in A New Hope are very similar to the voices of the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi?

nope....did ya notice that the blaster bolts in the new trilogy seem to fly faster than the old trilogy ones????.....and I'm sure this has been done...but perhaps long ago and it's always a fun thread anyways

How about Obi-Wan in the first movie stating how the Stormtroopers have such "accurate shots" but somehow cannot manage to hit anybody (except Leah in ROTJ)

it's the old hero protection thing

Spoiler:
something the EU books esp NJO were not afraid of

Hero's are immune to bullets/blaster shots?

Actually, there's more to it than that. The original line is something like "These shots are too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers could be this accurate." And then, as is well documented, for the rest of the trilogy the Stormtroopers can't hit shit. But then, we get to Episode I. And the Sand People pick off Podracers going 600 miles per hour.

Obi-wan's a liar. 🙂

I never thought of that part...

Holy Shit!

NO! 😠 OBi Wan is not a liar, its the truth... From certain point of view... 😛 😄

Ha! Classic.

Did you notice on the cast credits of episode 1, it casts jabba the hutt as himself

Really? Kind of weird. They never ACTUALLY showed Jabba in A New Hope (until the special edition)

Well that's probably cos they were planning to show Jabba originally and they used some nameless fat guy in a fur coat to film him... Plus when the did add him in the SE, he was just really poorly done CGI (and it took the poor chaps a year to do that...)

Did you notice...
The term "R2 unit" is applied to all astromech units in ANH. The "red" droid that blew up when they were buying him was refered to as an "R2 unit" rather than an astromech droid...

I meant the Phantom menace credits, not ANH

Indeed, Eleveninches was not talking about ANH!

As for Obi-Wan lying... what do you think he was trying to say? That only stormtroopers could hit the side of a Sandcrawler? Hardly a tricky target...

Well, that is what Obi-Wan implied...

And I guess the same thing about Jabba applies to TPM--he's just CGI so he's not really "played" by anyone...

I suppose that Obi-Wan might have meant that only Stormtroopers could hit the side of a giant Sand Crawler.

Another thing (which I am sure most people have heard of/noticed) is in Empire, why does Obi say Yoda is the Jedi who trained him when it was Liam Niessen (Qui-Gon) that did the actual training?

Qui gon's not alive at the time...and from a certain POV obi wan did train under yoda...as did all younglings

Obi Wan really wasnt a good jedi, he was a manipulative liar who blamed all his mistruths on 'certain point of view'!

GEE!!! The stormtroopers didnt blow up the sand crawler with their blaster rifles (not powerful enough). They must of used a Fortress or another type of cannon (target lock and fire).
Plus as has already been mentioned, the sand crawler wasnt a moving target. Its big and not much of a target.

obiwan didn't lie to luke, ben did.
Obiwan became ben kenobi, just like anakin became darthvader
