A few uncomfortable questions

[polksalet]

1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?

 

2) Why did Grand Moff Tarkin refuse to deploy the station’s large fleet of TIE Fighters until it was too late? Was he acting on orders from somebody to not shoot down the rebel attack force? If so, who, and why?

 

3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?

 

4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?

 

5) Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed, where he was also conveniently able to escape from a large-sized rebel fleet that had just routed the Imperial forces. Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial Navy didn’t?

 

6) How could any pilot shoot a missile into a 2 meter-wide exhaust port, let alone a pilot with no formal training, whose only claim to fame was his ability to “bullseye womprats” on Tatooine? This shot, according to one pilot, would be “impossible, even for a computer.” Yet, according to additional evidence, the pilot who allegedly fired the missile turned off his targeting computer when he was supposedly firing the shot that destroyed the Death Star. Why have these discrepancies never been investigated, let alone explained?

 

7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vader’s son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth Vader’s teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?

 

8) How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a moon? No records, anywhere, show that any battle station or capital ship has ever been destroyed by a single missile. Furthermore, analysis of the tape of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?

This has Karl Rove's fingerprints all over it.

She was clearly racist in that moment. However, I forgave her once Jabba set her up in that slave costume in Return of the Jedi. Talk about using the force!

If I were Jabba, I would have set her up in her birthday suit, but that's just me.

How did the proton torpedo make a right angle turn after entering the exhaust port, thereafter blowing the Death Star into smithereens?

Gravity?

 

They called it an exhaust port, but maybe it was really an intake port, and it sucked the missile in.

I wish I understood physics the way you do. And to top it off, when you explain these concepts, you make it so simple for us to understand.

 

I would say that you are Super Intelligent.

1 answer.....its fiction

[cliaz]

1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?

 

Because it’s defenses were design around a large scale assault. Stun fighters are able to penetrate () their defenses and are able to dodge the laser cannons.

 

2) Why did Grand Moff Tarkin refuse to deploy the station’s large fleet of TIE Fighters until it was too late? Was he acting on orders from somebody to not shoot down the rebel attack force? If so, who, and why?

 

His ego was rivaled by his failure. He should have deployed all the tie fighters and tie destroyers (btw did you know that the TIE in TIE fighter stands for Twin Ion Engines?) when they first went into orbit. But his ego blinded him.

 

3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?

 

He was on the Death Star because they were trying to deliver the stolen plans back to Alderan but when they jumped out of hyper space the death star was there by happenstance because it had just destroyed the planet. The markings on the Falcon match the APB the star destroyer sent out when the falcon blasted its way out of Tattoonie. He was allowed to escape because they hid a tracking device on the Falcon to track where the Princess (yummy back in the day) back to her rebel hide out.

 

4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?

 

No one knew about that during Episode IV. Once the Emperor found out about Skywalker he ordered vader to straight up put a cap in his as$ but Vader was like “Dude we could totally turn him.” And the Emperor was like cool, then do it.

 

5) Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed, where he was also conveniently able to escape from a large-sized rebel fleet that had just routed the Imperial forces. Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial Navy didn’t?

 

Vader whoops a$$. He felt a disturbance in the force and left to go ref. He didn’t escape conveniently but was sling shot out into space after his right wing man clip his Tie fighter. Remember Vader is a Sith and they do whatever the hell they want.

 

6) How could any pilot shoot a missile into a 2 meter-wide exhaust port, let alone a pilot with no formal training, whose only claim to fame was his ability to “bullseye womprats” on Tatooine? This shot, according to one pilot, would be “impossible, even for a computer.” Yet, according to additional evidence, the pilot who allegedly fired the missile turned off his targeting computer when he was supposedly firing the shot that destroyed the Death Star. Why have these discrepancies never been investigated, let alone explained?

 

It’s all about the force and nothing but the force so help you OBWAN.

 

7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vader’s son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth Vader’s teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?

 

Remember their memories were erased at the end of Episode III so they don’t know who used to own them. OBWAN should have known R2 but doesn’t or acts like he doesn’t. And Vader never really comes face to face with C3P0 except in the Carbon Freeze but then C3P0 is blasted all too pieces.

8) How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a moon? No records, anywhere, show that any battle station or capital ship has ever been destroyed by a single missile. Furthermore, analysis of the tape of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?

 

The proton missile set off a change reaction that blew it up. My question here is why they didn’t have the exhaust ports shielded more heavily then what they were.

What does the Empire Strikes Back, far and away the best of the 6 movies, not share with the other 5?

No way. Episode III is by far the best. Empire Strikes Back Dialog is horrible at best. Plus Luke crashed on Dahgobah and trained as a jedi with yoda while Han and the princess are fleeing the empire. So either Han and princess slamming hotty back in the day were running from the empire for months if not years or yoda only trained luke for 2 days in the swamp. They make it feel like luke trained for ever and is almost a jedi yet if you follow the time line it's all messed up. Granted all the movies are like this but in EP III the time line is 9 months and you know its 9 months because of the babies.

 

 

"I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brian."

 

Horrible.

 

I've never like ESB.

 

Of the old 3 A New Hope is the best one

 

of the new 3 Revenge of the Sith is the best one

 

over all Revenge of the sith is the best movie out of all of them.

[BiggieFries]

Not directed by Lucas.

Thats cute...

 

but none of the new ones can hold a candle to the first three I am afraid...
