Frivolous use of the Force

So, is lifting an x-wing and boxes, calling your lightsaber to your hand, and directing torpedoes frivolous use of the force?

  lifting boxes was part of luke's training.  it was  a way for him to develop his skill.  it wasnt frivolous at all.  calling his saber to his hand was in the middle of a fight.  directing torpedoes into the death star shaft was certainly justified since the death star was about to blow up yavin.  are u just exaggerating for the sake of exaggerating? 

imo frivolous use of the force is using the force for things that aren't necessary to better/enlighten yourself as a force user or defend yourself or others.

Frivolous use of the Force
Time

Yoda clearly states the force is to be used for knowledge and/or defense. however there are things in ep2 that really irk me. when obi uses the force to levitate the map ball into his hand after him and yoda are walking out of the youngling classroom really annoys me. the force is used for knowledge and defense, not because you're too lazy to walk across the room to pick something up. also yoda using the force to levitate his walking stick after his duel with dooku is the same frivolous use of their power. does lucas even watch (or care) about his own movies?

Han dies in Episode 7 (video)
Time

You get a good set up, but the joke doesn't work. "famous character dies, he's dead now, chewie looks sideways." isn't a good punch line. There needs to be an ending so unexpected you can't help but laugh. Maybe Han Solo actually gets C3P0 to do it, because he's a smartass like that. We all think it's han solo and bam, we get c3p0 yelling and getting burned. Or maybe he's got explosives on board, and you use the "warp drive don't work" footage/lines to make em not able to go off. Or it turns out the core he's meant to crash into is shielded, like in episode 6.

 the punchline is han's gonna bail out, except he cant' cuz he ejected all the escape pods 30 years before and cant.

My Ep 3. trailer w/ Deleted scenes
Time

This is my ep3 trailer.  It took me about 2 months to make it.  It was my first time ever using  a video editing program.  I had to create virtually all of the music, voice, and effects edits myself.  My goal was to make it look and sound professional, not just thrown together.  It became a passion project of mine.  I know the movie came out 9 years ago.  But to celebrate teh 9 year anniversary of RotS take yourself back to 2005 and think of seeing this in the theater.  I was also inspired to make it because we are a year and a half away from ep. 7.  I included the deleted scenes because I thought they were very well done.  I'm a musician so I actually started with the some of the music and let the visuals fall into place and sometimes vice versa.  Feel free to give me any feedback here or on youtube.
