Padme has to survive for at least a little while after the birth...i really couldnt say how long, but it needs to be long enough for Leia to develop images of her mother to remember as she stated she did in ROTJ

i think the watto thing could be interesting but i fail to see how any jedi (even the weakest of jedi) killing a toydarian would show how powerful he is, even if done completely using the force...maybe im reading that part wrong.

when did they say naboo is next to tatooine? i dont remember this at all...there was a map put out when SW Galaxies was released but i dont remember the relative locations. But after leaving naboo they went to tatooine because it was a 'near by' yet remote planet that was not under the influence of the trade federation. think about it, most likely any planet in the same solar system as naboo would also be under trade federation influence. they couldnt go real far away because of the whole lack of hyperdrive thing, but that doesnt mean they still didnt have to travel a pretty far distance.

as far as why the rebellion was 'flying right by some ball of dirt far from anything else important ' they were heading toward tatooine on purpose because Leia was going to get help from Obi-Wan. how can we forget this line:

Quote
General Kenobi, Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars; now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person; but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to Alderaan has failed. I've placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.

the line about regretting to present her father's request in person is proof that Leia was heading to Tatooine.

though this does bring up a few points,
when did he become a general? and he was serving Bail Organa? i though he was a jedi, so would be serving the Jedi Order/the Republic

maybe episode III will answer these, guess we'll have to wait and see

well first i tend not to trust reviewers and usually like to make up my own mind. I mean, it wouldnt be the first case where a movie with bad reviews did good.

secondly, out of curiosity have you seen Daddy Day Care? I dont really recall it really dealing with 'kids doing things that injur or otherwise cause pain or emarrassment to adult'.

I think whats happened is that all the leechers have been brought up to have the same files, so we can now only get something new from Rikter.

now, not everyone is connected to him, so our download speeds are fast enough that once anyone gets something new we all get it...so i think we are still downloading...just at a very reduced rate, less than 1kb

does this make sense?

what gets done with said JACKET_P folder...does this just get burnt onto the root of the dvd?

also, Rikter, im not blaming you or anything like that...i realize as a seeder that your upload gets split amongst the leachers...i just find it amazing that the 13.3% i have is exactly the same as the the data the other 18 leechers have currently downloaded...my client is actually not even connected to yours so im at the mercy of what the people that are connected to you get. I just figure there has to be more than one that is and i doubt they are all downloading the same files.

kinda just frustrating that im not getting any download yet uploading at 100k. Hey, at least it will help my ratio

good point. but the point of that was to demonstrate how good of a pilot Anakin was right? Im sure something equally cool (if not better) could be worked in to accomplish the same task if you did more with Anakin being a pilot in the clone wars (you know, following how Obi-Wan said they met in Episode IV)

btw, only Rebel11_38 gave input to the age of Obi-Wan in episodes I-IV...still would like to hear what the rest of you think

what other dead 'horses' have I been beating?

you can express it. I guess what bothered me was the fact that you never didn't express it. Also i cant say that ive ever actually read what you didnt like about it, maybe i just missed that (possibly before i joined)...but i read most (if not all posts)

ps. i dont know about horses, but i saw you beating those dead taun tauns on hoth...thats just mean

And I seriously doubt they'll give Episode III a razzie. First, razzies only go to truly bad movies, correct? So unless Epsiode three is worse than TMP by leaps and bounds, then I think it's safe.

And I'll pass judgement on Elektra once I've seen it. It couldn't be any worse than Kill Bill.

Something tells me you dont like Kill Bill...dunno why im getting that impression...its not like you're beating a dead horse or anything
