Author	Topic: The misconceptions you had about Star Wars, when you were a kid.
Darth Gentry Registered: Jul '99	Date Posted: 6/23/02 10:41pm Subject: RE: The misconceptions you had about Star Wars, when you were a kid.
	Until like a year ago, I really did think that when Vader choked the officer on the Death Star, he did vomit up an egg yolk. I still watch that scene closely to make sure. I thought the Jundland Wastes were the "gentleman wastes." When I was little, for some reason I thought Han shot R2 in ROTJ when he was trying to get the bunker door open. I thought it was his punishment for taking too long. I watched the movies in this order ANH, ROTJ, ESB, so when Luke and Vader fought in that room where Luke flies out the window, I thought it was the Emperor's other throne room and he just not there at the time. Those windows do look similar. I thought Luke's glove in ROTJ was a batting glove.

	"gentleman wastes." LOL! I thought the same thing, Darth Gentry, when I was a kid. That's the one line I couldn't figure out. A gentleman wastes what to be travelled lightly? Until one day, way down the line, I finally understood what old Ben was saying. "The Jundland Wastes are not to be travelled lightly."

	I used to think the death star in ROTJ was the same on as in ANH, and that Luke had only blown a chunk off the side of it instead of blowing the whole thing up. It was years later when I saw it on video that I read the opening scroll and realized it was a new death star. -----signature----- A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.

	Ok, this is a really silly one. The first time I ever saw anything to do with Starwars was the Darth vader Tunes commercial. So when I first saw the film I thought that Vader just had a sore throught and was waiting for the part where he gets offered the Tunes sweet.

	I don't think I ever realized, even though the movie made it clear at the start, that this took place " a long time ago, far far away". I think I assumed it was earth in the future. I mean hey, they had ray guns and spaceships and humans..... I remember thinking..ok when are they going to get back to earth? I also remember thinking that they should quit with the "force" crap. I just wanted to see spaceships, aliens, etc, not some silly religious stuff. Somehow I could buy everything but the magic of the force.

	I once thought that it would be really cool if only Lucas would produce more Star Wars movies. -----signature----- “I don't think I'm alone in the world in imagining this flick may be the worst idea since Greedo shooting first.” - Ben Affleck as Holden McNeil in 'Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.'

	I also called Star Destroyers pieces of pie and even went as far as calling the shield generators butter balls. And I thought the "Lifesavers" from the movies had something to do with lifesafers (the candy) in real life

	I also used to think that the Death Star hadn't been completely blown up, and that's why there was still part of it in ROTJ. At the part of ESB where Yoda says "You will be. You will be." and starts looking all freaky, I used to think that he was going to eat Luke. -----signature----- Great midis have little midis Swimming round inside 'em And little midis have lesser midis And so ad infinitum.

	Little kid misconceptions: Used to think lightsabers were light-savers. Then I heard that Life Savers was a candy, so I figured, well, they must be using life-savers. I never questioned why they had the same name as a candy. My dad's explanation of the ESB cave scene was that Luke destroyed the dark side of himself. Turned out later that was wrong, of course. To this day, I don't understand the cave scene. When Vader's hand is cut off in ROTJ and Luke looks at his own, I thought that Luke's was just transformed by "destiny", 'cause I completely forgot about Luke's robotic hand--I thought the black glove just appeared. I thought he was turning into Vader, and the more parts he chopped off, the more there would appear on Luke. I used to think that the Emperor character was just a really old guy (make-up, yes, but meant to look realistic) and that lots of real people actually looked like that when they got so old. Used to think Vader was a robot, right up to when Luke took his mask off. My brother called Threepio "3-CPO." I used to build up a mound of damp sand in my sandbox, get a butter knife, and throw it blade end first into the sand mound, imagining I was Han Solo stabbing Jabba to death and being cool. Yep. I forgot that Jabba was strangled by Leia. Used to think Yoda had something to do with Grover (of course). I always thought Luke had a splitting headache when he gave that look before Force-lifting C-3PO in the Ewok village. I used to think that Luke and Vader had about a dozen lightsaber fights between ESB and ROTJ. Don't ask me how I thought they crammed them all in to two movies. This misconception probably just came from watching the movies so much. Big kid misconceptions: I thought Episode 1 was fantastic when it came out and there was nothing wrong with it. But enough about that. When I heard they were going to make the special edition, I assumed they were going to redo ALL the special effects--as in the scroll words, the lightsabers, and every single blaster shot. I was a bit disappointed in 1997 when I went to see Episode 4 since that's what I was expecting. I also expected to see the Biggs-on-Tatooine scenes. (Well, there's still hope for the "Ultimate Edition," anyway.) Jedi Master Dude -----signature----- "Austin ... I am your father." "Really?" "No, not really. I can't back that up."

	I thought A New Hope was after Return of the Jedi. I didn't think it was the original Star Wars. -----signature----- I am the snow that burns I fall whereever men send me to fall - but I prefer flesh, so smooth, so dense: I decorate it in black and seek the bone

	I was under the impression that Luke killed Vader at the end of ROTJ by setting him on fire. And of course it was "Dark" Vader who Luke killed.
