Because as you said it is a trash compactor. Everybody assumed that once it was turned on either manually because they knew Luke and Co. were down there or automatically they would simply be crushed to death. Doesn't make much sense to have stormtroopers at the door ready to blast liquefied human remains now does it?

Why not? Just because he hasn't walked the red carpet (to my knowledge) ala Harrison Ford doesn't make him any less of an accomplished actor. Besides a lot of those roles listed are for TV shows not movies, and quite well known TV shows at that.

Yes I did and that is not one.

Hyperbole:

A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in I could sleep for a year or This book weighs a ton.

He is not exaggeration for any sort of effect. In fact he isn't exaggerating at all. He is simply saying he hasn't gone by the name of Obi-wan since before Luke was born. His name has been Ben for the last twenty odd years it's that simple and Lucas STILL screwed it up no two ways about it.

And there in lies the whole problem. Lucas thinks that just because he can use all this new CGI technology for his movies he should. He can't figure out that there is a time and a place for everything in a movie and that includes CGI.



It means having stuff that would be very beneficial to a war just up and disappear. For example the Trade Federation have droids with shields that can absorb blaster fire. You would think the Empire would snatch up this technology and try to improve upon it so their fighters could have impenetrable shields. Yet twenty years later their TIE fighters have...no shields!

The TF also has this huge army of nothing but droids why isn't the Empire making any use of those? Since they come off an assembly line and can be made in a much shorter timeframe than recruiting and training a legion of stormtroopers (and the droids are a much more accurate shot than stormtroopers). And no I am not buying into the whole the stormtroopers are really clones thing I refuse to join Lucas' delusion that that was a good idea.

In ROTS we see a ship that looks like an X-wing only it has an extra wing on each side (seen in a two second clip off the TV and I think there is a Lego building set of it too). Personally I think it looks like a wagon wheel and thus stupid, but that is beside the point. If each wing has one gun each that's six guns in all. So why are the Rebels using the X-wing with only four guns and thus less fire power as their fighter of choice? Where did that wheel-wing get off to?

Well said jxw. I personally want ROTS to be good. I want it to have that spark that the OT has, but as I read more of the reviews and look at what it has as its base (TPM and AOTC) I find myself taking the realists view that it's going to be mediocre at best.
