Since he lived on a moisture farm I'm guessing any contaminated water would be collected in holding ponds to await recycling. Seepage from those ponds created an entire mini ecosystem home to not only giant swamp rats, but also those strange-looking plants that Aunt Beru was placing in her Magic Bullet.
Much of the Star Wars universe makes no sense. The series requires a great deal of the "suspension of disbelief" necessary to enjoy movies. In the Star Wars universe, farming "moisture" on a desert planet is somehow normal. As is the Millenium Falcon "making the Kessel Run" in less than 12 parsecs (a unit of distance), Luke's completing in 1 week all the Jedi training it took Yoda 800 years to learn, and stormtrooper armor being so fricking useless that these elite soldiers can be brought down by midgets with slingshots and spears.
LOL. I think the problem is not that I'm "not into" Star Wars. It's that some people are WAY TOO into Star Wars. Any "explanation" of the 12 parsecs statement requires a huge leap of faith that I am ill-prepared to give the man who came up with Jar Jar Binks. And I'm mind-boggled at the concept that someone thinks they've come up with a good explanation for how storm troopers can be defeated by furry little midgets with rocks and sticks. But more power to you, I suppose.
The 12 parsecs thing was intended to be wrong from the start. Early copies of the script have Kenobi calling him on it, and negotiating the price down because Solo's obviously an idiot. Later revisions just leave it up to Alec Guiness' facial expression to convey that Kenobi knew the claim was ridiculous. Unfortunately, it doesn't come across well.
I am all for suspending disbelief (especially for Star Wars), but the one thing that always kinda bugged me is that the Storm Troopers seem totally incompetent. They never hit anything with their lasers, and they fall for every conceivable ruse. It's like suggesting the Cleveland Browns had conquered the galaxy. I know the command is exceptional, but the rank-and-file is worthless.
Interesting tidbit, you can get the Alderaan answer right with seemingly any number of 'a's in the last syllable. Just in case you're emulating Shatner (or I supose Quinto now...). "ALDERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!"
Aw c'mon! Why not? Aside from Liam Neeson in Episode I, he was the only good thing about the prequel trilogy (at least when you compare it to the originals). He had to be really good to offset that other guy who played Anakin. We won't name him.
Always interesting to find old comments by myself. Now it's 11/20 and should have been a couple more. And while I didn't like McGregor at first simply because he was not Guinness, I've come to appreciate him much more.
Princess Leia also said "it's a trap!" She said it to Luke in Cloud City as she, Chewbacca, and Threepio were being taken away after Han was encased in carbonite. She yelled to Luke "Luke! Luke, don't, it's a trap. It's a trap!"
Yeah, I tried to put Leia in there for "It's a trap!" because she yelled it like 3 times in the Cloud City. Also, I was certain it was Dantooine that was blowed up by the Death Star. But I think that was just the name of the system Alderaan was in.
I very well may be wrong - it's been a while - but I THINK Dantooine is the planer Leia falsely named as the rebel hideout (to prevent Tarken and Vader from blowing up Alderaan), but since it was too remote for an effective demonstration of the Death Star, they blew up Alderaan anyway.
Dantooine was an abandoned rebel base. and the empire discovered that she had lied because they sent a force to dantooine just to find the remains of the base that had been evacuated long before.
Good quiz. Though I did struggle with the questions on the prequels. I've done my best to block those bleeping abominations out of my mind. They ain't Star Wars. It may say Star Wars on the tin, but it ain't Star Wars.
For all you prequel haters out there, remember that Rogue One is technically a prequel. Also, if you wanna know what makes the prequels great, it is none other than General Grievous
General Grievous sucked. I mean, he sounded cool and looked cool, and that light-saber wielding was spectacular--but he was only in one movie and was easily defeated by Obi-Wan after mostly running away. He was only slightly less of a letdown than Darth Maul.
At some point in the future I imagine Star Wars quizzes are going to go from being easy to impossible for me. The Last Jedi so thoroughly killed my love of the franchise I doubt that I'll bother seeing any future installments. I refuse to pay money for Episode 9 and I don't really want to see it at all even for free.
The Hoth one always made me wonder...in the film they say the rebel base is on the 6th planet of the Hoth system. Do each of the planets have a unique name?
This question makes no sense
QuizMaster must be using regexes.
then again, it wasnt fully destroyed...
Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.
