The Space slug.....

when the falcon is inside the space slug, han and the others just step outside as if they are not in outer space. gravity inside the space slug? weird. also, why didnt they flash freeze? space is very cold.....

or explode...

yes! why didnt they explode? space is a harsh environment.

they are actually gods?

uh, you lost me, yerssot.

nevermind

sorry, it went right over my head.

Apparently the space slug species creates an atmospheric pressure inside its gullet and the asteroid was large enough to create its own gravity? 😉 Was that George's plan?

Or maybe not. Hmm.

maybe so....

well, it's basic science that a rotating object in space creates it's own artificial gravity.... and there must of been pressure in the the slug so he could digset things... eventualy.... or it could just be another of lucasarts silly bloopers!

You would not flash-freeze nor explode in space. Heat transfer in space is pitiful (you would only radiate, not conduct and that would take a while) and the compressiblility of the body means you do not explode (NASA are very specific on this and can offer real-life examples of people exposed to zero pressure environments, and they are fine!)

However, it would NOT be very pleasant and you would be in serious trouble very quickly, especially if you tried to breathe or had any air in your lungs! (the people I mentioned above are only fine because they weren't exposed for very long!)

Luckily, Star Wars rarely has much to do woth real science and so this can be ignored.

good point, ush. like the sounds of battle carying through space. hogwash.
