    What do you think happen to that Imperial officer that told the Star Destroyer Gunner to hold his fire because it was probably a malfunctioning jettison pod? in ANH.

    Just think about it...if that one officer would have done his job correctly and smoked that pod...NONE of the Star Wars universe would have happen.

    NONE of the Star Wars universe would have happen.

    Actually, everything leading up to that point still would have happened pretty much the same. ;)



    Rick McCallum loves you!

    He died when the DS blew up... ;)

    I know what you mean though, what happened directly afterwards... probably nothing bad. If he would have just blown up the pod, the Empire wouldn't have known for sure if the DS plans were on it or not, and that would have kept Vader up at nights, wondering... ;)

    exactly....I mean no pod..no plans..no droids..no farm boy growing up and blowing the Death Star to pieces..Planets would be destroyed with the thing..Tarkin would still be alive. Obi Wan would have been still living on the out skirts of the dune sea.

    Same question like what if R5's motivator hadn't blown right after Owen bought him?

    There is another recent thread on that last question already - here.

    Wow, I read that wrong at first. :p

    Its really impossible to know exactly what would have happened had the pod been destroyed. I'm sure that due to the will of the Force, things would have eventually played out to the same end with very different means.

    Perhaps the will of the Force kept him from destroying the pod.

    He was a low paid worker for Darth Vader so he just chilled. Just like those security guards who don't watch the screen.

    Good point, I hadn't thought of it from that angle. :D

    Ya but you'd think if they already WAXED some rebels escaping with them...

    "There goes another one sir.."

    you'd think after shooting some down he would have "finished" the job.

    Maybe the other string is correct maybe 3P0 being built by Anakin has some force residue on him the same thing goes with R2 with Leia.

    No what I find funny?


    1. The whole saga would not have happened if the Trade Federation had not blocked Naboo.
    2. The whole saga would not have happened if Chancellor Valorum did not send Qui-Gonn and Obi.
    3. The whole saga would not have happened if R2 was able to fix the engine.
    4. The whole saga would not have happened if Anakin had lost the podrace.
    5. The whole saga would not have happened if Obi was not allowed to train Anakin.

    It comes down to this, Palpatine is the only one that created the saga in the films. Bail Organa began the Classic Trilogy by sending Leia out!
