Author	Topic: The misconceptions you had about Star Wars, when you were a kid.

	Well, i honestly didn't have much, but i did have a few. For example, Once when my brother told me that one of Harrison Ford's first jobs was a carpenter, and i always thought Ford WAS Solo, and i watched ANH right after he told me that and on the death star scene right after they invader and started in a gun battle with guards right outside the detention block, i said "Woah! I wonder if he shoots carpet down." And at the time i thought carpenters only put down carpet. -----signature----- Dum Roma deliberat Saguntum perit. http://smuggler-of-mos-espa.deviantart.com/

	A lot of people not well-versed with Star Wars seem to think that AT-AT Walkers are droids, grown-ups too hihih. My big misconception has to be because of my uncle. I remember waiting for 'RETURN OF THE JEDI' to come to the cinemas, and my uncle told me he had seen it. He told me how the movie opened with Darth Vader aboard a giant starship shooting at Luke who was running across a big field. Of course, when the movie finally arrivred, it didn't open like this at all. But I still imagine my uncle's SW scene as if I have seen it, somewhere, someplace. -----signature----- Let down by the Special Editions. Tormented by the Prequel Trilogy.

	For ages I thought that when Obi Wan said there was no such thing as luck, Han got all offended because that was how he made his living: BEN: In my experience, there's no such thing as luck. HAN: Look, going against remotes is one thing. But going against a living? That's something else. I had little or no idea what "remotes" were ... possibly something to do with remote possibilities. -----signature----- If there's one thing I can't stand, it's up.

	<<<I could have SWORN I remember Han shooting Greedo and Greedo never getting a shot off. Fast forward 20 years, and I buy the trilogy for myself, and to my amazement, Greedo actually shot at han before he was fried. >>> actually, han DID shoot first. it's only in the special edition that greedo shoots first. it's a huge thing that a lot of people have a problem with this change. there's a bunch of threads on this board about it....somewhere.

	Yeah, I saw a comedian on tv a long time ago making fun of the SW names, like hand solo and princess lay-ya. When I first saw a pic of the death star in ROTJ I also thought it was the original just damaged. I misheard lots of lines too (maybe we can make a thread for SW mishearings?) In ANH I though luke said "I can take you to anchorhead, most I see, or where ever it is you're going" instead of Mos Eisly. and I thought Obi-Wan said: "who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool of politics?"

	That part in ANH when Obi-wan's lightsaber starts to crap out I thought either his saber's battery was dying or the special effect didn't work at that camera angle. I went to the SE thinking it would finally be fixed but it wasn't. never could figure that out. Lono -----signature----- "You CAN do it. You can destroy these things.. It is possible." -George Lucas

	I used to think Stormtroopers were robots and that Luke's sabre was yellow. (Darn Hasbro!) All of the ANH toys had luke with a yellow sabre. -----signature----- Evet Frost -- Jedi Knight of the Republic Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.

	Wow... I was blessed to first see ANH when I was old enough to understand. But before that my bro bought me some SW toys and I had Darth Vader, Pilot Luke and the X-Wing and I always pretended Luke ran over Darth in his X-Wing and that was all. Oh yeah, and when I saw ANH the first time it was SE in the theatres and me and my Dad made it in maybe 5 minutes into the movie and I saw the sandtroopers and I was thinkin' "*?" y'all are funny -----signature----- "Pain…suffering…death, I feel…something terrible has happened.

	I can remember seeing commercials on tv for ANH and thinking that the big scary hairy creature (Chewbacca) had to be a villian. Something that intimidating HAD to be bad.

	I have no clue why, but I used to be scared of Yoda! He was this weird looking alien to me when I was a kid and was an ugly little sod, and I had nightmares of him. Now, I think he's a cute little guy, but I would DEFINITELY not want to mess with him, especially after seeing him in action in Episode 2. Hey, I was also scared of E.T. when I was little! OH YEAH, also, before I read the captioning for it, in Episode 1, when Qui-Gon tells Obi-Wan, "Don't center on your anxieties Obi-Wan, focus on the here and now where you belong," at the beginning of the movie, I always thought he said something like, "Down-syndrome your anxieties Obi-Wan, focus on the here and now where you belong." Thank goodness for captioning! -----signature----- Always have been proud to be an American, and always will be!!!

	I always thought that whenever Jabba fed a person 2 the rancor they would turn into frogs and Jabba would eat those I thought that because right after the Rancor eats Oola you see Jabba grabbing a forg and eat it...so I thought that frog was Oola and that's why he goes crazy with his tongue right before he throws her down to the rancor, I thought he was hungry and wanted to eat her -----signature----- Private Daniel Jackson: O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

	I was 7 when I saw ANH in 1977. Darth Vader=Dark Vader I had a Star Wars poster that you could color in with markers. I labelled the characters on it. I labelled the Tusken Raider as "monster", C-3PO as "3-CPO" and Chewbacca as "Bigfoot". -----signature----- "May the Force Be With You" --Mayor Quimby to Leonard Nimoy

	Many of the previous posts have mentioned many of the misconceptions I had about Star Wars (i.e, Life-Savers, Dark Vader, etc.) But one I haven't seen mentioned yet... I remember seeing ROTJ in the theatres. After Luke cuts off Vader's hand and we see the wiring hanging out then Luke looks at his own hand, I thought that Luke's hand transformed into Vader's hand. Furthermore, if he had decided to kill Vader he would have actually physically transformed into him. I know it sounds kinda weird, but I guess that's what I thought it meant for his journey toward the dark side to be complete.

	Some of these sound pretty made-up... Anyways, I used to think that Yoda lived with the Ewoks, in these weird underground-type caverns. They were kinda like a mix of the inside of Yoda's hut, the darkside cave, and the Ewok buildings.

	"C-3PO as 3-CPO" Yeah I used to make that mistake as well. I remember thinking that Luke could only use the froce when he was upside down. The cave on Hoth.
