Random Star Wars thoughts (part 2)

It's almost Star Wars Day*, so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin features a collection of random Star Wars related thoughts.

Tatooine.
Strangely similar to Tunisia on Earth.

* May 4th, chosen because of a pun on words, i.e. May the Fourth be with you.

1) Surely Luke Skywalker would have been pretty annoyed at Obi-Wan Kenobi when he found out that Leia grew up as royalty on Alderaan while he grew up as a moisture farmer on Tatooine?




2) Baby Yoda's first word probably came after his second word.




3) If people from the Star Wars universe ever came to Earth, the fact that it has deserts, forests, a frozen icy continent, AND oceans, all on one planet, would probably be a real shock for them.

A choking hazard, pictured yesterday.

4) Darth Vader toys are rightfully labeled as being a choking hazard.




5) In Star Wars battles, all the ships' laser shots that missed are still travelling deeper and deeper into space.




6) In the Star Wars movies, Luke Skywalker was told to go to Dagobah to find Yoda, but he wasn't told any specific location on Dagobah. Yet out of an entire planet, Luke somehow crashed right next to Yoda's home. What a massively lucky coincidence!

It looks like Luke was right.

Related conversation...

Ben Kenobi: "Luke, you need to visit Master Yoda."
Luke: "Okay, what's the address?"
Ben: "Dagobah."
Luke: "Dagobah?"
Ben: "Yes, the planet Dagobah."
Luke: "A planet? That's the address? An entire planet!? That's a pretty vague address. Can you not be more specific? I mean, I don't mean to be awkward, but if I put 'Yoda, Dagobah' on a postcard, I'm pretty sure the post office would mark it 'undeliverable'. They'd need a more precise address than that."
Ben: "Look, just go to Dagobah! Don't overthink it!"




7) The spaceships in Star Wars can travel at hyperspace, which is faster than the speed of light, so in most cases it would probably be quicker to deliver a message to someone in person rather than to email it to them.




8) Chewbacca can't even say Chewbacca, so shouldn't his name be something like Rawwwraaraar?

"Surely I can't miss from this range!"

9) "About time we talked," means something different to Yoda.




10) If a stormtrooper was ever to shoot and kill a major character in a future Star Wars movie, it would be the greatest plot twist of all time!
