Regarding Death Star(s) -

Shraka is correct. The first took AGES to build because of the restrictions the imperial senate imposed on the emperor and more than likely major components and details surrounding the construction would have to have been hidden. Eg, the ability to destroy a planet, perhaps??

And who is to say that it wasnt completed several years BEFORE ep4, and was only tested then due to the rebellion learning of its power combined with the removal of the imperial senate....

Leia's memories of mummy

Just as anakin can see the future in his dreams, Leia too could have these memories due to her ability to see the past.
Remember Yoda teaching Luke that the force can be used to see the past, the present and the future - but that he must be mindful of his visions of the future...... well Leia being the daughter of Anakin will of course ALSO have these powers as she too is strong with the force, but she is not consciously aware of this.

Thus Leia's memories could quite possibly be imprinted feelings of empathy as she was being carried by Padme. Remember Yoda and Ben both have this empathetic ability too, but they are just aware of this ability as they have tuned their ability to use the force so well.

It might sound weak to some, but it is far more plausible to me than the idea that she is either talking about her adopted mother or the idea that Padme lived for a few years AFTER the birth. Why the feck would she give up Luke and not Leia??

More EP3 Banter....

And OHMYGOD IT WAS A BLOCKADE RUNNER!

Captain Nieder's (name is iffy with me) blockade runner in fact - the very same featured in the start of EP4!!

It was very interesting to see the progression of the empires technology. I noted that the Jedi star fighters looked a lot like tie-fighters, while the clone star fighters looked more like X-Wings. I also saw that the Jedi fighters required an extra component to travel through hyperspace. It leads me to think that over the years these became tie-fighters, and as the need for hyperspace capable star fighters lessened within the empire, they just lost the ring things

You got it a little wrong there dudey Razz

Did you not hear the following lines as spoken in fact by Republican clones??
- Red 5 standing by
- Red 2 standing by...
- Lock air spoilers in attack positions..
.... and then low and behold you have an early version of an X-wing fighter, with a middle wing between the two x-wings of each side of the ship.

These were Republic attack ships.... as were the Tie-Fighter-esq fighters that the Jedi used. If you go further into it, by the era of ep4, the X-wings were considered obsolete fighters with the tie-fighters being the most modern and advanced fighters available.

Re the hyperspace "rings".... these were really only necessary for single or two person craft such as used by Jedi who very rarely travel with reinforcement. The jedi are now all but extinct by ep4 and we have craft such as Star Destroyers which cruise the Empire carrying large numbers of tie fighters to enforce the rule of the emperor where necessary. Hence they are virtually obsolete as the empire holds its rule by brute force rather than Jedi diplomacy.

P.S. I also think the hunting down of the Jedi happened to fast. I got the impression from the first 3 movies, that the jedi where hunted down over many years and killed one by one at the hands of vader or his minions. Not just "Oh, bam you all die in one day".

Your memory of this "hunting down" comes from Obe-wan telling luke in ep4 the quick story behind the empire without specific details such that Luke would become intrigued and passionate about it and help obe wan out. Of course he never told luke the TRUE details because this would have been too much for a young Luke just learning of his past and his ability to use the force.... and would have made him too easy a target for the Sith lords. All done for a reason my friend Razz

I have to go home now... will discuss more later Razz
