2. I was considering posting a thread on how the Death Star got around. I still don't quite get it really. No visible engines on it and it can go lightspeed obviously. Does one of those "How it works" books shed any light on the subject.
3. Time isn't very well defined in the SW universe it seems. GL never really gave much indication of time passing in the films. This one seems more like a editing/pacing decision than a story thing.
4. Small chunks of junk floating around are less likely to get in the way of hyperspace routes....or something....maybe.
5. Maybe the cockpits can be self-contained pods that eject into space to be picked up later or controlled for a short distance to get far enough away to safety.
6. I might be remebering wrong but I think parsec was used in reference to distance or speed and in such a huge and fast universe, different units are needed. Again, i can't quite remember what way it was used.
7. The currency probably changes with the times. Obiously they don't use Republic credits anymore, probably Imperial versions of those. And on less populated and distant planets they probably use local currency. I remember hearing a word for the currency that starts with a D once.
8. He said he was building a protocol droid so their must be some basic guidelines he was looking to follow, if not some sort of manual. I mean, the kid was good and all with techy stuff it seems, but everyone needs instructions for complicated stuff, especially inexperienced kids. There's now way he just imagined a pod, for example, and magically through it all together in secret without some help.
9. Is sabacc a real game? If so, why even mention it in SW, where i'll automatically have to assume they play it the same and have at least a similar deck of cards to use?
