    Before starting a new topic, ask your question(s) in here so our regular/frequent posters can provide some answers. If those don't suffice, you can try a forum search to make sure that a similar thread doesn't already exist. This will help keep the forum from being cluttered with redundant topics. Thank you in advance, and happy posting.:)

    How is Jar Jar Binks able to defy physics with that flip when he jumps into the water while leading Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon to Otoh Gunga?

    Real. Rubbery. Skin.

    All jokes aside, I would guess that Gungans have soft bones like frogs do on earth.

    Why is Anakin so gullible?

    The Darth Plagueis scene. He can't take a hint? Palpatine is talking about how he despises the Jedi, and how does he know so much about the Sith?

    I always found it interesting that this scene bothers people. If I were running the Jedi Academy, I would have a segment on Sith studies. I always thought it was a failing of the film that the Sith weren't common knowledge to all Jedi by age 5, and generally known to the population that has contact with the Jedi... senators, servants, and so forth.

    Well, the Prequels have big enough plot holes to drive a Super Star Destroyer through.

    Is there a specific example that you have a question about? Having argued this over and over, I may know the in universe answer.

    Go to the forum "Palpatine is really suspicious in ROTS", which concerns a huge plot hole, and the arguments against my statements.

    What I'm hoping for here is the in universe answer that explains how he changes direction mid-air with no leverage with which to help him do so.

    Is Binks special, or can all Gungans perform that flip?

    Is it a genetic thing, or more about individual talent?

    I'm pretty sure the jump is just part of his species. I doubt Jar-Jar has the mental ability to train himself to be a talented gymnast far beyond the capabilities of his species.

    The Wook article talks about how Gungans have powerful calves and knees. Those are the things needed to pull of such a flip, so it makes sense for that flip to be an ability of the species.

    Did anyone else have a hard time discerning Bronagh Gallagher's gender on their first viewing of TPM?

    Welcome to the boards! The best place to post something like that would probably be http://boards.theforce.net/forums/costuming-and-props.10019/. The Forum Mods are Miana Kenobi and Commander-DWH if you need any assistance once you are over there.
