now Everyone Tells me about the bit when the Stormtooper whakks his head in a New hope, and after all these years I'll be dammed if I can see it..
BUT... Ive finally seen a continuity error in A New Hope with C3P0 when they are all at OB1's house chatting about the message, does anyone else know what Im talking about..? to be honest, its a stupid error, that is only some kind of quick thing, where there is no reason to waffle on about similar to the stormtrooper head thing, and yes I know they now comes from Jango knocking his bonce on the Slave1.. ne-way has ne1 seen this C3P0 in A new hope.. :-) _______________ We have all had Dark Times. Its how we deal with it now that makes the kind of Jedi we are. |

Artoo and Threepio were that important to Obi Wan and his friends, and Artoo even said that he was the property of Obi Wan Kenobi. Still, Obi Wan might have had reasons to keep quiet about that one. Threepio was hugely significant to Owen. Owen would have remembered his name and recognized his annoying personality. Threepio was not made in a factory--although he looked much like similar droids, he and Artoo had initiative and motivation unlike other droids, and this is alluded to in the movies. I don't know where Artoo gets it, but with Threepio it's because he was custom-made by a genius. And Owen would have gone ballistic. He'd have thought that Vader sent the droid back as a spy to see if Luke were there. Remember, hiding Luke from Lord Vader can't have been a minor detail in Owen's life. It must have gnawed at him day and night that he and everyone he loved could be tortured and murdered if they were ever found out. This was serious stuff. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

About Owen and obiwan recognizing the droids. In the Star Wars universe droids are so plentiful as to be under the catagory of appliances practically. Think about it. Some company produces millions of the same model of droid. How are you supposed to tell one from another. If you've read Tales of the Bounty Hunters you kind of see what it's like on some droid producing planet. Or you could take Geonosis as an example. How am I supposed to tell one droid from another if they look the same and the droid I saw before wasn't all that important to me anyway? _______________ Windows95: <win-doz-nin-te-fiv> n. 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

Javaguy I'd like to disagree about the droids being there in the first three episodes... George Lucas said: It's not a story about Anakin's life It's a story about the two droids, their own adventures (Or something like that, the story follows the droids, ... But anyway, I've heard that George also says otherwise, so, we can't really be sureJust wait some months, and then I'll meet him.... if I kidnap him that is ) _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Lucas himself addressed the parsec issue back in 1977, which gives you an idea how old I am. He said the line was intended to show that, while Solo was a hotshot pilot and street smart, he wasn't as scientifically knowledgeable as he'd have people believe. Next time you watch it, note the smile that Obi Wan gives when he hears it--Solo doesn't know to whom he is speaking. Decide for yourself if you believe him or if you think Lucas was just covering his tail when he was caught in an emarassing error. When I first saw the movie in 1977 I didn't see a problem with it. Kessel was a spice mine; Solo was a spice smuggler. I took making the Kessel run in 12 parsecs to mean that was how far he was chased before eluding the persuing ships. I don't see why 3PO shutting down for a while and then being up again later is an error. Calling a pilot Gold Leader after the real Gold Leader was killed is probably not an error. They're in the military, and the military has such a thing as a chain of command. [i]Red 6, the poor ignored fat guy, Porkins. "I just lost my starboard engine!" about 200 Frames later, we actually see him losing his starboard engine, well, one of them, and the other seems to be in fair order.[/i] How can you tell? It isn't obviously blown to hell, but is it working? His instruments obviously tell him it isn't. I predict that we will not see the droids' memories erased in the next episode. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen between episodes three and four, but it doesn't seem right. If Amidala sold the droids to a stranger, then sure, their memories might be wiped. Owen suggests doing that with 3PO when he buys him. But in Episode IV the droids are in the service of her daughter, so she obviously kept them. It's made clear that she relates to them in such a way that she wouldn't wipe their memories--in effect killing her friends. Would her daughter, Leia, do it, given that she is, to say the least, not as warm and friendly as Amidala? Maybe, but I don't think so because she entrusts the Death Star plans to Artoo, and we're given to believe that such trust in a droid is unheard of. It sounds like she's known him for a long time and knows how dependable he is. Luke tells Obi Wan "I've never heard of such devotion in a droid before." Artoo was obviously a longtime friend of the royalty and knew Obi Wan well--he hadn't just awakened as a new person after a recent memory wipe with no memory of past loyalties. It just doesn't wash. Owen would have recognized 3PO. What's more, he would have gone ballistic. Remember, Owen knows all about Darth Vader. He's extremely protective of Luke because he lived through that ugly bit of history. He doesn't want Luke to have anything to do with Obi Wan, doesn't want him to have a lightsabre and finds endless excuses to keep him from going off to the Academy. He knows the score, and he knows that Darth Vader built 3PO! There's no way in hell he'd buy a droid built by Darth Vader unless it was to destroy said droid. Obi Wan would have recognized the droids. Perhaps he would have kept quiet about it, though, since he was planning to feed Luke a load of bull**** about his family history. All in all, the droids should not have been in any of the first three episodes. They add nothing to the story. In places they slow down the story. They introduce glaring inconsistencies in the story. The giant space slug in The Empire Strikes Back: They thought they were just in a cave on an asteroid, yet they went outside wearing nothing but oxygen masks. Well they were in the vacuum of space, so they would have exploded without proper space suits. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

I thought it was time to dig this one up Anyway on one of the interviews with George Lucas (talking about Ep1) he said that in Star Wars they will always use actors and actrices that aren't know to the big public Then why the hell is Samuel L.

Well Threepio is a droid and it wouldn't surprise me if he had a memory wipe of some sort to erase his memory.

I havn't read this on any site yet, but if u notice:
In Episode II, C-3PO is living at the Lars Homestead, the same place were Luke lives... 3PO has lived there for a few years, yet when he got bought by Luke and his uncle, he never once in the film mentions that the place even looks a bit familiar... _______________ Not back yet...

Lord Jaws:
If you read the captions (I do) then you notice a lot of mistakes, but they're not neccessarily mistakes. Actors may always add onto their lines. Like in Episode 6: "Where's Leia?" Han Solo says: "I thought she was with you" But in the captions, it says, "no." "We got seperated," etc. In a Knight's Tale, there are a whole bunch of sentences that are added onto. So that's what they do in all movies, all human movies, and not just Episode 1 in particular. _______________ slorp |

The phantom menace: when Qui-Gon ang Obi-1 turn their lightsabers on, you hear 3 lightsabers going on in stead of 2.
And I live in hte Netherlands and wat is a very big disturbing factor is the incorrect explenanation of words and that there are words missing. Like when Obi-1 sais "who is this master?" (he is talking about Jar-Jar) Qui-Gon sais "a local, lets get out of here before more droids are coming". In the translation u never read a local. !!!!! what's that about. same thing for ep2. Just ep 4-6 are good. ____________________ Honor, Truth, Trust and Nobalty.

Well he did close himself down, so that could mean he still has some programming to be able to hear what is going on. Afterall how is he going to go back online if they. Here is a link to the infamous Carrie line. http://www.starwars.com/episode-iv/feature/20000530/index.html This is the urban legends of star wars. Its an interesting read. The Carrie line is covered on the last page.
JProton, its not a surprise that people try to pick out the errors. Its a common event in almost every movie. In Terminator 2 when the T1000 drives the semi over the edge of the ramp the front window pane completely falls out. The next time they show a close up the window is back and only cracked. Picking out inconsistincies is a past time of many people. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Whoa, I didnt think this would be such a massive responce, lol
kool, after all it is only a film and ppl love to pick out the errors, and Ive never heard the "Carrie" line, but if you go over to dudestudios.com and check out the 5min cartoons based on SW this Carrie is included in it.. and to 3P0 it is when he closed down, I assume Sleep mode, but was shocked and moved when the Message was played back from R2, thats why I said it wasnt really an error, _______________ We have all had Dark Times.
