As far as life support there are little hair-like things in your lungs called Alvioli that actually help you breathe. If you were breathing in very hot air or were say on fire these could get damaged and life support would be needed.

So why didn't Obi-Wan need have to have a lifesupport suit after mustafar then? They were both breathing the same air. I already have a way to show why Anakin needs the life-support and he also won't just spontaneously combust either but i'm keeping that one to myself for now.

What if they werent building one death star since bby19 and they were building two? and both took that long to build, why not add a second Death Star to the shot in even a less completed state in

So the rebels only knew of one Death Star then miraculously found out about the other one in time for ROTJ? Why the hell would the Empire build 2 if they didn't even know if the first worked? Not a plausable explaination and the death star is still gone from Revisited.

It is never said that Darth Plagiues created Anakin. Theres no evidence that this in fact occured. even the book about Darth Plaguies (yes I know you dont like EU) was cancelled. So theres not anything to say that Plaguies did this. The whole conversation about how much power a Dark Lord can achieve is key to Anakin's turn to the Dark Side, without it the whole story would fall apart.

Well maybe you should watch the scene again. It's definitely spoken about plagueis as a way to explain the virgin birth and to imply that he created Anakin. Just look at Palpatine when he is saying about he had the ability to create life. he slowly turns and looks at Anakin. Talk about a big hint there. Also the key to Anakins turning is that Palpatine is making him doubt the nature of the Jedi and also about power. Not anything to do with midicraplions.

last point: So you feel that anakin , the chosen one, being born to basically a nobody with no indication of who the father is is better storytelling than the classically mythical virgin birth?

Hell yes. Much better storyline. it shows how a good person can turn evil and how power corrupts and not that he was built to be evil from conception. That whole thing changes much of what was said about Anakin in the OT. If he was created by the sith he would have had evil in him all the time and would not have been a good man and turns Vader into a puppet. If he was destined to become evil then he would never have turned back to the good side in ROTJ. The fact that he was only manipulated and not created to be a Sith displays why Luke can sense that there was still good in him and that because it was only manipulation that turned him he was able to save his son.. Changing the PT to fit with the OT is the way to go and never the other way around.
