CT Star Wars Misconceptions You Had as a Kid. (RE-MADE)

I was always confused at Tarkin's line "You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system!" The way Tarkin says it made it sound like a statement rather then a question, for sme reason I thought Leia had made a deal with him to blow up two other planets then she would tell him where the base was. plus I thought he said "Provide" not "Prefer"

 

I grew up with the OT in its pre-SE days. I thought for some reason that the Clone Wars took place either 60 years or 100s of years before SW/ANH came out and was a Jedi & good guys vs evil clones kinda thin. I was also confused by Obi-wan's death...I though he used some strange Force power to become invisible or teleport away and wasn't actually dead. Also didn't realize that the face in the Vader helmet on Dagobah was Luke's until I was older. When Luke takes Vader's helmet off, I was always terrified of his face when I was a kid. Then I realized later that it wasn't really that bad.

 

Oddly enough when Luke tells Yoda he saw a city above the clouds I thought he said "I was sitting above the clouds."

When the Stormtrooper in ANH says "Maybe its another Drill" I thought he said "Maybe its another Girl."

Just some minor misconceptions I had as a kid.

 

I thought they said maybe it's another girl too.

 

I thought Han said, "Even I get bored sometimes," like he dropped his shipment for fun.

It wasn't until my latest viewing when I realized he said boarded.

 

I had a couple line misconceptions:

"Darth Vader, only you could be so bald."

"I saw Santa Claus!" (as opposed to Luke's "I saw a city in the clouds!")

And I could have sworn an Ewok said "That guy's wise!"

 

i still hear it.

 

When I was very young, I thought that Star Wars was only one film. I used to get mad when I didn't see Yoda appear with Luke. It wasn't until I had a cousin show me all of the VHS, that I knew there were two sequels to the film.

 

When I saw the back of Vaders head in ESB I assumed he could breathe normally without it, but only wore it to hide his disfigured face.

 

When actually does this happen? I never noticed it and I noticed A LOT of stuff in those scenes.

 

That was fast, thank you. I guess I was focusing on the word "dobra" which is the female form of the adjective "dobar" (good) here and not paying attention to anything else.

 

Since he was kind of a mafia boss/crimelord I always though "The Hutt" was that kind of nickname for Jabba. Like a Mack "The Knife" or Jimmy "The Gent" kind of deal. I figured in the Galaxy Far, Far Away a "Hutt" was some kind of weapon or somebody from a certain region or maybe it just meant "boss" or something.

So I was pretty disappointed when I learned it's just a species of alien. No mafioso was ever called Tony "The Human". I expected more creativity than that.

 

When Luke says "There's two more wrecked speeders back there" in ROTJ, for the longest time I thought that's what speeder bikes were actually called, Wrecked Speeders.

 

I always thought the laser for the Death Star came out of the middle of the disk in one big beam, not several coming out and combining into one.

 

After Han is frozen in carbonite, as he's being lift out of the chamber I always thought the machine was saying Leia.

 

Who thought Dark Vader was the real name at a young age?

 

I was around 3-4 when I first found my older brothers ESB storybook, and I thought that was the first movie and Luke found R2 in a swamp. Someone had thrown R2 out a long time ago, because he was so dirty.

 

When Han, Luke and Leia are backed into the cell block in ANH, when Leia grabs Luke's blaster and says "somebody has to save our skins" for the longest time I thought she said "somebody has save us kids".

 

I thought the Imperial dignitaries on the second Death Star in ROTJ were the emperor's parents.

 

I showed the trilogy to the four-year-old class when I worked at a daycare as a teenager.

When ghost Obi-Wan shows up to talk to Luke on Hoth, one of the little girls said, "Oh, it's God."

The rest of the movie was processed through this filter, despite my objections. The children decided Vader was the devil, and they squabbled when they discovered that Jesus was the devil's son. They refused to believe anything I said regarding the matter.
