C3PO: "He is quite clever you know, for a human being." - Said of Luke in Ep. V

As for how they are humans, who else George going to get to do his acting and by what other name should he call them? ;)
To me, the term "Human" was a sound call to make in the script as it links his audience with the characters on a personal level. "They are like us." and so forth.

Yeah I agree with you Ash it takes the religous side out of Star Wars and gives it concrete evidence but they needed something in there I suppose.

I didn't mean that WE could have sent something out, i meant that THEY, the humans in star wars, could have sent something out that got stranded here. See?

Noone can predict evelution. Things change as the world changes. As far as Aliens looking almost identical. Yeah it take certain elements to be present in order for life to form. But how much of each element? Would the condition and make up of that planet effect what type of life was created when those elements are introduced?

The science we understand and know is only from the enviornment we are able to study. When man goes out into the stars and visits new planets(and I believe we will)I think we'll find that we weren't wrong bout certain things, just that we failed to unlock all the options.

I like to think of midichlorians as bad writing. What's the point in believing in the force if you erase out all religious aspects of it with scientific mumbo jumbo.

Sorry, just going on a rant there.

Midichlorians... Word play on mitochondria. Perhaps the humans in the Star Wars are just us with slight differences.

The force is medichloreans, tiny lifeforms. Attracted to other lifeforms depending on certain unknown factors. And whats to say theyre not human? maybe a colony ship crashed here, and all the secrets were lost, ect. Something like that. Or maybe just another breed of humans. :D

It could be a parallel universe. As well, the species there probably are made of different bases. We are carbon based; perhaps they have some sort of metallic base that gives them a slight magnetic power, hence the Force?

cause when they filmed the first movies, it would have been a royal pain to do the movie without any humans - and it probably wouldn't have even gone straight to rental :P.

First is a science fiction movie like some in here said.

Second, it is like Battlestar Galactica, maybe some humans could travel to space a a lot of years ago and they met with other living forms so they could learn more knowledge like technology.

Third, A lot of stories tell that humans could trvel in spaces and they made a lot of humans colonies that later those colonies could make their independence like Wing commander movie and Galactica. Also some stories always made relationship with our old civilizations on Earth like egiptians, aztecs and others, about that they could travel to other regions in the universe with or withour spaceships.

Forth, Star Wars is a movie of science fiction and George Lucas never mentioned the Earth, so maybe the humans that we see in the SW universe must not be taken as humans from the Planet Earth.

Somehow I disagree with that theory (my own objections to the Greys is how would such creatures compete? I as a scrawny individual I could not compete in the wild without my combat training) I would imagine intelligent life could evolve in multiple ways dependent on the subtle variations of planets and however culture develops.
