but he used it to cut into the AT-AT to put the bomb in it

To be fair, he cut open a door release, he didn't slice open a hole in it.

 You beat me to it.

And shows what I know... ;-)

You know, thinking about it, it doesn't really make a lot of sense that a planet with little to no moisture on the surface would have a plentiful amount of it in its atmosphere.

Something else that seems just as insane is how they sort of casually mention that they interviewed 3000 kids and that it took three years.  

 To quote the line Vader never said, "how can that be?"

I mean, if you find the perfect kid to be Anakin, thee years later isn't he now 12 and too old? Or did they audition kindergartners?

 I figured it had small ammounts in its atmosphere, and that's why they needed to carefully harvest it all the time.

It's true.  To 005 you listen.

As far as the cutting off the AT-AT's foot idea goes, I do hope you all realise that they are in fact moving, and are very large?  Not only would Luke have to cut through several feet of metal, he'd have to do so at a brisk jog.  Not exactly the easiest way to go about it.

Well you'll never get it done with that attitude.

On the topic of Anakin, I always thought the other little dude who tried out for the part (as seen in the "Beginning" documentary that came with TPM) would've made a much better Anakin.

I've always thought that too.

 ^ This!

He pitched his delivery of the scene perfectly he even made the crappy dialogue sound plausible (essential in a Star Wars cast member).

So who is this kid and how do we start a petition?

Someone should edit him into TPM in place of Jake.  Sure, you wouldn't have much to work with...but it would still be an improvement!

Well, as you will later see in his abysmal dealings with Jabba the Hutt, Luke has some kind of inferiority complex that forces him to kill as many people as humanly possible.  I mean, sure, some Imperial forces might die if the AT-AT tips over due to a damaged leg, but if you really want to rack up a good kill count, blowing up the cockpit with an explosive is the safer way to go!

Speaking of which, what the hell was Luke's plan for rescuing Han? As much as I love ROTJ, I've never been able to make any sense of the plan.

Gaffer Tape said:

I made a video trying to figure that out. It's the greatest thing ever, according to 005

 

I didn't have to shamelessly plug myself!

*cough*

Well I was going to come up with some random Star Wars related stuff of my own but I think I'll postpone that and follow up the whole "What was the plan for rescuing Han" with an equally valid question that was raised over at cracked.com

http://www.cracked.com/article_17546_7-classic-star-wars-characters-who-totally-dropped-ball.html

Was Jabba trying to go to war with the Rebellion?

He holds 3 high ranking Rebel prisoners hostage and never asks for a ransom. Luke walks in and says free my friends or die and he just laughs at him. When Luke proves he's not messing around by killing the Rancor and gives him another chance to free his friends without any more blood shed, Jabba refuses to listen and decides to execute the majority of his hostages in a manor that only serves to entertain him and his entorage.

Jabba's refusal to bargain with Luke gains him nothing and ultimately results in the loss of everything. Was he a criminal mastermind or an idiot?

My head is about to explode :o

I just go with the plot. However, Jabba did look like he had been smoking crack in every scene

That always seemed believable to me.  After all, they only harvest once a season.

At least there are a lot of clouds on Tatooine, maybe too much for a desert planet... Like when 3PO is leaving R2 and in the Sarlacc battle.

Hey, if you don't want to listen to what I have to say, stay out of my thread! :p
