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

	Due to all the references to Star Wars in pop culture while I was growing up (born in 1983), I knew alot about the movies without ever watching them (like when I watched Jim Henson's Muppet Babies, they always showed TIE fighters or other battles in the closets when they were opened and promptly shut), until 1990 when I was given all three by a friend of mine. I was shocked to find out that the tall golden Droid was in fact C3PO, since I always thought he was R2-D2 and it was the other way around.

	I think I may have said this in here before (can't remember), but when Ben says "the Judland Wastes are not to be traveled lightly", I thought he was saying "if a gentlemen wastes enough to be traveled, likely" as some sort of response to Luke's comment about being glad to see him. I just figured it was another instance of bad dialogue. -----signature----- Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Episode_I_-_The_Chosen_One Production blog: http://alternativesaga.wordpress.com/

	I remember being convinced that Han Solo actually died in Empire.

	I was always freaked out by the Jawas because of their eyes and how they talked. I'm still careful when I walk around rocky areas, just in case they are hiding in there...

	The only misconceptions I had was, after seeing ANH and ESB, that George Lucas was a good film maker and that the story was going to continue with the same high quality that it started out with. How wrong I was....

	If I knew I was a crap writer I would've brought in top writers like those on Trek and Bab 5 to do the ghost writing. As a matter of fact, I might just do a thread on the subject at some point.

	When I was little, I thought that when Yoda disappeared in Return of the Jedi, he turned into a baby. The pillow he was laying on looks a bit like it has a pointy ear and a closed eye... I thought that was Yoda. -----signature----- "Yub yub, Commander!" -Wes to Wedge "Yub yub, Lieutenent!" -Wedge to Wes The Errant Venture-- Who wouldn't want a bright red Star Destroyer?

	I thought: a lightsaber was a lifesaver. Jabba worked for the Empire. The Empire JUST hated the main cast, and not the rebels. Vader was a robot. Stormtroopers were robots.

	I never imagined there to be any actual movies after ROTJ, but I had ideas about the prequels. In my head, whenever I pictured Anakin or Obi-wan in their youth (a young Alec Guinness and Sebastian Shaw, or course), I always saw them both very 50's style, with clean shaved faces, slicked back hair and black and white footage. Almost as if the movies had already been filmed in the 50's, or if they were filmed, naturally that's how they should look. I guess I figured that if the OT takes place in the 70's and 80's... I remember thinking that in ROTJ, the heroes in the Imperial Shuttle crash landed on Endor by accident, and were working to find a way off the planet to the Death Star. Also, I always thought the Star Wars story would end with a super epic battle culminating in the Big Bang, and starting our universe! Almost Mormom/Scientologist in retrospect...

Well, when you factor in the 50's style Dex's Diner, and Bail Organa's speeder being designed to look like a Tucker automobile, you weren't all that far off the mark. -----signature----- The misconceptions you had about Star Wars, when you were a kid: "As if millions of oysters had cried out in terror...and were suddenly silenced."
