ADY, I now see what a dark path you have gone down. So addictive! :-)

I think this idea has potential.  Would it just be more practical just to have Luke use the force to just push the button itself?

While we are on the subject, is the scene with Luke saving himself from the Rancor (possibly with the force) too similiar to Luke saving himself from the Wampa with the force?

This is interesting.  I'm moving this over to the wish list thread.

... It's not an easy decision to make, in this case, and so we need to know what the actual effects of those actions are, so they can be weighed against the other known consequences.  Attempts to control those decisions through the contol of information and the proliferation of misinformation obfuscate our ability to make the best decisions we can make.

Oh, I agree with that.  I think we are just putting the cart before the horse.  I am just saying that living a more responsible life on earth ought to be the starting point.   We shouldn't put off environmental responsibility just because people have differing opinions on what the end results will be.

To me it seems like we are trying to determine how much poison we can drink before we kill ourselves when the real effort ought to be to just stop drinking the poison.

...If you believe that mankind is destroying the earth, and are a scientist tasked with proving it with concrete data... but the data proves to be elusive... Wouldn't you believe it to be the right thing to tell a little lie, especially if you believe that that lie will save the future of mankind?

In this case, I would also say No.

The thing that really gets Sluggo cheesed-off is this misuse of information about the environment as a political wedge, one way or the other.  Not polluting the planet and conserving natural resources ought to be a common sense and a moral issue, not a political issue.  Is mankind destroying the planet?  To me, it doesn't really matter (I am trying to be very careful with my words here) if the massive amounts of pollution we humans are dumping out into nature are increasing global warming or the massive amounts of pollution we humans are dumping out into nature aren't a cause of global warming. 

I feel both sides are using environmental issues to put forth political agendas when neither of those ought to be important.  They are a smokescreen.  The real emphasis ought to be keeping better stewardship of the earth.

Me too.  I always go with an answer based on movie production rather than 'in-universe' answers. As far as why the bounty hunters at all, I think production wise it is a matter of finding a good spot to introduce Boba Fett and other cool characters in costumes. 

The Caligula comparison is interesting.  This makes the most sense as far as the plot is concerned.  It is easy to see Piett and the other officers have such a disdain towards the hunters, especially if Vader is trying to rub it in their faces.
