Suppose we scooped out the insides of this child and replaced it with the nervous system of an organlegger?

Do that and I'll squeeze your heart with my invisible hand.

Fair enough, say I set up a mirror on the moon so I can bounce a laser beam into someone's locked hotel room and boil them in their bath?

Looks like someone set their phaser to "annoy."

To be fair, the last one is fair.

Science fiction novels have been doing a grand job updating the ways to kill one another. Relativistic weapons. Kinetic kill devices that will plow under entire planets. Wormhole devices that extinguish entire solar systems. Nanotech that devours entire worlds. Viruses and memes that co-opt the nervous systems to create new thought patterns negating the need to actually fight and die. Energy weapons that disrupt the nervous system. Mono-molecular shards that spit and slice. Bioweapons that corrupt the genetic code.

Give Star Trek credit with the use of the Genesis Device for being an inventive way of destroying a world, at least.

Wow, that was stupid. Except for the weapons one I suppose. But simply pressing a button and beaming someone into a pile of goo does not make good cinema like a blaster fight or lightsaber duel.

Vin Diesel?

You can thank Kirk's pussy son for that. I don't know why Doc Brown wanted it so much, to him it was just a bomb to blow up a planet. We pretty much have that now.

So the invention of new methods of death and destruction renders things like knives and guns moot? A knife will still kill a person in the 24th Century

Star Wars is a Science Fantasy. A fairy tale. Thus it is bound by the rules of romanticism, not science.

Padme died due to symbolic nature of the story, not to any real "medical" reason. Anakins commitment to the Dark Side destroyed and devoured everything that made him human, both physically and spiritually.

Lucas attempted to drive that home with the Doc Bot not being able to find anything wrong. Even with a sledgehammer people missed the point.

To be fair, we had been through about seven hours of hating Jake Lloyd, Jar Jar and Hayden Christensen by then, we were bound not to be in our right minds.

Yeah, I felt the sledgehammer on the point. But, still. It was a stupid way to kill Padme off. I mean, she commits suicide by willing herself to die and leaving two orphans to fend for themselves? Because her husband turned out to be an asshole? She just didn't seem like that kind of girl. Plus, she had been so responsible and devoted to her people and then just says "Ah, to hell with this, I'm outta here."

Also, I can't believe I just posted this. I had to grind my teeth to make it through that movie. And on top of the TMJ cramping I developed, I also got eye strain from rolling my eyes every 30 seconds.

I generally defend Revenge of the Sith but I thought that sucked too.

She didn't commit suicide. Her soul-mate became absolutely corrupted and tore her "heart" out. If he did that literally, it would have had the same effect. In fairy tales, symbolic reasons are accepted motif for death (See Han Christian Anderson original Little Mermaid)

She held on long enough to give birth to the positive part of their love...their children (which Anakin desperately wanted) with the comment- "there is still good in him". Vader believed he destroyed everything he loved. Luke and Leia existence shows that the Dark Side cannot destroy everything .

As for her actions, Sith had gained enough power that the Jedi's were acting foolishly and politicians acted cowardly. Padme was worried for the future of her marriage, culture and kids.

My biggest disappointment was that Lucas didn't include Padme at the end of the ROTJ.

James!: Top 5 lists was number 6.

I would have went with slideshows at 6 and Top 5 lists at 7 but it works

The article sucks and misses the point. I think Gene Roddenberry said it best when asked why Picard is bald- his response was that in the future, humanity would have advanced enough to the point where people simply wouldn't care.

Right. We achieve world peace, no religion, no currency, no greed and every other instinct man has had since he crawled out of the soup. Fine. But chicks don't care if a guy is bald, even if he's not cut like Jason Statham? Suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

I don't understand the insecurity that surrounds hair loss. Then again, based on my genetics, I probably will never lose my hair either, so I probably will never understand.

taurusowner: Is that really a recent picture of William Shatner? Did he have the Iranians do the PS job on it? I just don't believe someone born in the 30's can look like that.

He was on Psych recently. He looks like he's in his 50's. Pretty funny too.

I get that, I really do. But why portray this character as the face of ferocious female courage and determination and then have her totally wimp out because her heart was broken? Better to have her as an emotional little princess-bride, than a warrior and statesman with the guts to face a thousand deaths. But I get it. We can only bend gender roles so far before we must return to old fashioned motifs.

Lanctwa: jonny_q: Lists about sci-fi and "future" tech annoy me when they mention Star Wars. Star Wars was set a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

Came here to say THIS.

I'm a SW geek and even I find that pedantic.

this list made cracked look good.
