	//punches eaglejedi and Moff-Jerrejod THAT is for calling him Dark Vader! I thought Executor was pronounced "EXecutor" instead of "exECutor". Me too. I can now pronounce it right! -----signature----- "Perhaps Darth Guy will breed some sort of albino shouting gorilla." - Master_Jacen

	I really don't think I ever had any misconceptions about SW when I was little. I did used to get really freaked out by the whole "Luke vs. vader" on Dagobah thing tho, it took me a while to realise that it was Luke's face because I was way to scared to look at it -----signature----- Moo

LOL! Were THEY on drugs?? OK, here's mine: When Threepio and Artoo are discovered by the stormtroopers in "ANH" and Threepio tells them "They're heading for the detention center! They're madmen, I tell you!" (or whatever he said - I can't remember the exact quote) I thought Threepio had suddenly switched sides and was working for the Imperials! I didn't realize he was pretending that he belonged on the Death Star! Kittenmommy. -----signature----- Kittenmommy. F.I.G.S.

Actually, I can't remember a time when I didn't laugh at that line. Dirty mind! This whole thread is cracking me up. Kittenmommy. -----signature----- Kittenmommy. F.I.G.S.

	This a great thread. I just got done reading through all the posts. 2 things. 1) I though there where little 3POs under the Jawas rags. Since to me, they all had the same flashlights for eyes. 2) I though Ben Kenobi and my Grandfather were one in the same. (Both were named Ben) -----signature----- Everything on this Planet Has a Number The Monster is Zero

	Somehow I had the concepts of "lifesabers", "lifesavers" and "life perservers" all mixed up in my head. I thought the sword-type weapons were "lifesavers", the round things for saving drowning people were "lifesabers", and I couldn't figure out how candy played into it. I don't think I could even pronounce "perserver" at that point, but I was very confused when people would use any of those terms. -----signature----- "A very interesting problem you face, and so we all face, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

	Well I used to think in all movies when someone died, the person actually did die and they got another person, i mean hey theres like what 6 billion people on the planet. Also, the whole Luke kissing Leia thing, when I was little i thought they were married and had kids... You guessed it... They had Yoda and Chewie -----signature----- Whats the difference between you and a malard with a cold... Ones a sick duck... I can't remember how it ends but your mothers a whore

	first of all, i must say that this thread has provided me with many laughs... for the longest time, i thought that Jabba the Hutt's name was Javva the Hunt. i came to this conclusion because once i had heard people talking about Atilla The Hun, only i thought he was called Artilla the Hunt. so, when i first veiwed ROTJ, i didn't quite understand the pronounciation of Jabba's name, but being the logical little girl that i was, i put two and two together: if there is a person named Artilla the Hunt, it makes sense that this creature's name be Javva the Hunt. Maybe they're related... later my family enlightened me, not only on the true pronouciation of Jabba's name, but also the true identity of "Artilla the Hun".

	My misconception was only this, and I've turned it into a running gag. In ROTJ, after the Super Star Destroyer is about to hit the Death Star, there is a shot of Ackbar and the Mon Calamaris celebrating. I swear to God that I thought I heard one of them say, "DIE DICKHEAD!" Maybe Rick McCallum was an extra Mon Calamari in the film....

	Enigma_X, I had the EXACT same problem, not really a set wrong idea, just total confusion over the words and concepts in school, i remember having long debates with all the other kids about whether Ben died, disappeared, or fell down some secret tunnel i guess as a kid i had trouble recognizing faces, in the Star Wars storybook (the one that's the source of everyone's false Biggs memories) i saw pics of Luke and Han in their trooper disguises, and thought that it was a picture of 2 stormtroopers without their helmets on -----signature----- And as the rage raged through Anakin's rage, he raged through his raging rage to rage the rage rage. -R.

	I thought of a misconception, though it isn't really my fault, my older brother and sister tried to convince me that they played the imperial guards in ROTJ. Me being the smart kid that I am told them they would've been way too short, but they found a way of convincing me that it WAS them. -----signature----- Moo

	I think most of these are new. Some aren't though. I thought that the special effect they used to make the first death star explode was they took a big jar or glitter and smashed it open. That's what my brother said when we were little and he was older and therefore wiser, so he was right. DS II was just the remains of Death Star 1. Lightsaber = Lifesaver. Darth Vader = Dark Vader. I thought Banthas were the mystics from Dark Crystal and the mystics scared the crap out of me so whenever the banthas were shown, I'd get scared and run out of the room. I thought Mos Eisley was Los Angeles. Because one time when the whole family was watching ANH when Obi-Wan say 'You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy', my whole family shouted out Los Angeles! So. . . I somehow though that Hammerhead Momaw Nadon was a very important person and that he lived in a little fish aquarium in the cantina and came out to get a drink. I so very badly wanted his action figure. I thought the probe droid was a little transport and that someone was inside it. Instead of floating, it ran very lightly over the ground. Yoda scared the crud out of me during his 'You will be' line. I thought if I got really sick, I'd die and disapear like Yoda. I was panicked every time I got the flu I thought Yoda was supposed to be an old man. It didn't help much that my grandma sorta looked like him around the face. I thought the music during the Sail Barge Assault had lyrics. You know, the rebel fanfare part with the horns that also plays during the TIE fighter pursuit in ANH. Me and my brother would always sing out 'Return of, Return of, Return of the Jedi!' during the sail barge scene. I though Luke visited Yoda for the first time in ANH, didn't see him at all in ESB, and saw him again in RotJ. In the scene in ESB where you briefly see an AT-ST, my friend of mine thought that an AT-AT had a baby. I thought that C-3PO was always falling apart because he was badly built. I mean, you could see his wires and everything. Bad robot. -----signature----- As has been said: Don't **** with Kenobi
