    Hard to imagine that a serial child killer like Anakin could be redeemed at all. Sure he killed the emperor and his heart was in the right place, but tell that to the parents of the younglings he killed.

    You mean the parents who gave their children up at or near birth so they could live as warrior priests and likely die a miserable death on a planet they never heard of.

    Saw a Star Wars doc some time ago where they said Carrie Fisher had to shoot all of those scenes in the white robes sans brassiere because it could be seen through the robe. They had to wrap duct tape around her torso every day of shooting to keep things in place and not have them seen through the robes as well.

    Trivia time: in Episode 1 in scenes where Natalie Portman appeared on screen as Padme with her "double" in the Queen Amadala makeup, that's Keira Knightly under the makeup.

    More trivia. According to William Shatner's book, Gene Roddenberry first pitched his idea for a sci-fi series to CBS. Their story execs picked his brain for several days, then stabbed him in the back, developing "Lost in Space" from what they learned. Roddenberry had to go back and start developing a new story from scratch, the result, of course, being "Star Trek," which he took to NBC.

    Yes them. If the parents were slaves, training to be a Jedi would be a much better life then they could ever give them.

    "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....."

    Which always led me to wonder, if that's where their technology was a long time ago, what would it be like now? :eek:

    well if you look at the tech in the prequel trilogy and the tech in the original trilogy they seem to have entered int of bit of a dark age or stagnant tech growth. The only thing that seems to continue to improve was military tech.
