I can also use the logic of understatement to try to make someone's comment (no matter what comment it is) look foolish. That's the second worst tactic to criticizing someone for a few spelling mistakes.
We aren't talking about a few years, we're talking about 19 years, like I said, baking in two suns and probably suffering from whatever psychological repercussions from The Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire. I like the idea.
Unlike a lot of prequel excuses made by PT fans, THAT doesn't require a freakish amount of stretching or distorting. It's plain, simple, and believable. Don't act like it's not.
Why does Grievous have such problems with coughing and breathing, when in fact he has no visible lungs? Someone I talked to earlier said that it's because he's an alien, and he must keep his lungs some place in his body we aren't familiar with. THAT is a stretch that I draw the line at. Considering Grievous was missing most of his body, there weren't any lungs in his chest capsule when Obi-Wan pryed it open, and I somehow highly, highly doubt his lungs are kept in his brain.
