	DarthIktomi posted: darth-sinister posted: Why did you think that Luke was going to be the heir to the Empire? Well, Darth Vader was Palpatine's obvious successor, and…Do I have to give you a play-by-play of how Luke is Vader's heir? Well, Anakin Skywalker and some woman (name unknown at the time) at some point had relations, and nine months later, two kids popped out, named Luke and Leia because twins should always have names beginning with the same letter. But Anakin was evil now, so their mother and Obi-Wan wisely hid them so they wouldn't die or become evil as well. Luke was hidden out in the middle of nowhere with Obi-Wan's brother Owen. Leia was hidden in plain sight, with a very influential family of Jedi sympathizers. Wow. That's a big misconception. -----signature----- Stewie: "Oh, this is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor came up with the formula for great Star Wars dialouge."

	Well, not really, that's actually pretty close to what Obi-Wan said. And I do not believe Palpatine ever had any children, regardless of what Glove of Darth Vader says.

	I always thought that Bounty Hunters had something to do with Bounty paper towels.

	[quote=DarthIktomi]Well, not really, that's actually pretty close to what Obi-Wan said. I was refering to Luke being the heir to the Empire. That you didn't get that Luke was trying to destroy the Empire, so that the Republic could be restored. -----signature----- Stewie: "Oh, this is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor came up with the formula for great Star Wars dialouge."

	I thought Luke started out just wanting to marry the princess. Then he found out that was illegal.

	I thought Boba Fett and Han Solo were supposed to be friends or something. I was so wrong. -----signature----- Banana! Banana! Ooh! Ooh! Give it to Kiki?

	I talked to a middle aged guy a while back about Star Wars. He was under the impression that the glowy part of the lightsaber was real. As for me, I think I mispronounced Qui-Gon Jinn's name. -----signature----- http://www.swbookzone.com A guide to over 900 Star Wars related books, periodicals and other media

	I was somewhat under the impression that Vader took the suit to prove how evil he was rather than it being used to sustain life -----signature----- "That's all there is to life, just a little laugh... a little tear"- Lon Chaney

	I thought that Darth Vader and Darth Maul were brothers, the same for Anakin and Luke. I thought that Darth Vader was a robot at first. Then I thought that he was also Boushh I thought Hoth was Yavin in the Winter I thought that when "Vader's" mask exploded in Dagobah, it showed Jake Lloyd's face I thought that there was an approximate 100 year gap between Episode I and Episode IV (I don't know if I read it wrong, but I blame the Episode I visual dictionary) I actually thought that Obi-Wan and Yoda had gotten amnesia in the OT, which was my explanation of why they never mentioned Qui-Gon. That's all I remember for the moment.

	I thought that Darth Maul was actually Anakin's father (I didn't get that he was a Zabrak, I don't remember what I thought about the horns) and that Shmi either lied when she said that there was no father or that she meant that he left. I also thought that Darth Maul's lightsaber would become Vader's because the one emitter was cut off. -----signature----- We're Doing it Live!

	I've been reading through everyone else's misconceptions, and I can't really remember any I had, but... This isn't really a misconception, but something that stands out very clearly in my childhood memory: I shared a bunkbed with my sister in one room. We had a tall toy shelf. On the shelf was a large stuffed Ewok with black eyes (I think it was Wicket). Anyway, I remember just watching that horrible Ewok every night when I went to bed. It scared the beejesus out of me... I thought it would come alive and kill me. (I seem to remember some movie where the toys on the wall come alive and grow claws and fangs, that must be where I got the terrifying notion from). -----signature----- There isn't a mome rath born who can outgrabe me!

	I first time I saw the OT, I was before I was a big fan and I was very young at the time. After that, it was many years, until after I became a fan, that I saw it again. During that time, I somehow got the misconception that the big "I'm your father" reveal came during the battle on the Death Star during ROTJ. It was quite a shock when I saw ESB again. -----signature----- We're Doing it Live!

	While reading through more of these I remembered a few others that I had. I thought that Luke (Mark Hamil) really did get his arm cut off for the sake of the movie, and that whenever someone died in Star Wars (or any film for that matter) that they really did die. I couldn't fathom why anyone would go to so much trouble for a movie. I remember asking my mom about it when I was really young, and she told me it was fake, but I didn't believe her. I also thought that there was a ten year gap between each movie when I was younger. I did the math later on and realized that there was no way Luke could be ten years old in ANH. -----signature----- "Remember: abilities are not inherently good or evil, it's how you use them." - Kyle Katarn
