I've read that David Lynch was approached to direct Return of the Jedi but he turned down the job so he could direct Dune instead. After seeing Wild at Heart the other night, right about at the point where Nicholas Cage's character has the vision of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, I wondered ju...

then by Insurrection they were gone

Considering he was smiling and cracking jokes throughout the movie, I think it was on.

Mmmm, then it was in Nemesis that it was gone. Admittedly Insurrection is one big unpleasent blur in my memory by now.

Biggest waste in my eyes was Data. Throughout TNG they built up his character, showing some real hope that he could evolve and eventually fulfill his quest to have emotions of his own. Then on the two parter that led into the fifth season they really got my hopes up, making it look like he finally d...

if you're not going to use the most powerful and advanced ship in your fleet just because you're afraid the captain is going to act irresponsibly They did this *once* during the Borg invasion. Picard was perfectly capable of handling command. And they lost how many ships and how many crew members b...

Throwing him in a holding cell is somewhat of an exaggeration to emphasise the central point I'm making: if you're not going to use the most powerful and advanced ship in your fleet just because you're afraid the captain is going to act irresponsibly, then temporarily remove the captain and replace ...

Same reason that in First Contact Starfleet sent the Enterprise-E away to gad about the Neutral Zone while the Borg were attacking Earth, because they were afraid of Picard going cuckoo for CocaPuffs instead of just temporarily relieving him of command, sticking him in a holding cell, and putting Ri...

I was perplexed why Anakin, with all his power in the Force, couldn't detect the presence of Padme's children inside her. But then he seemed like the kind of husband who'd forget their anniversary as well.

I think that the Star Wars universe would start to look like your average 70's kung fu movie....everybody in the friggin' galaxy would know how to do crazy wire-fu martial arts.

In the episode "Night Terrors", Data is scrolling through explosives that can be used to get the Enterprise-D out of its predicament- three per screen, and scrolling through screens at the expected fast android rate. We start off looking at the screen, Data scrolls through some, it cuts b...

Didn't the novel state that there was artificial respiratory aid already? Perhaps at this point in time, his lungs had not become scarred yet, and was still allowing adequate perfusion due to force enhanced powers? I wish I still had my copy on me...lent it to somebody. I think the novel didn't cov...

While Vader is being put into the suit in RotS, it can be clearly seen that many of his burn etc, have not been properly healed. His face and limbs can be seen red with black crap covering them. After thinking I've come up with two reasons why: 1. It was imperitive that he get into the suit as quic...

I took the exploding consoles to mean that they must have high voltage power lines running through them for some odd reason. Why consoles would be desinged to include high voltage power lines is a mystery to me....maybe all that ultra-sophisticated future technology is really power hungry.

Now just to clarify, because I'm a wee confused about this issue, are the Stormtroopers from episodes 4 through 6 clones, conscripts, or a mixture of the two? What's the official word on that?

Amazo from the Justice League cartoon Erm, he is portrtayed as unstoppable, it's not as if he would get a boost by copying Supermans powers :P. In his first appearance that's how he got so unstoppable in the first place: by mimicing the powers of the whole JLA, Superman being the last. Then he head...

Amazo from the Justice League cartoon. While I'm not familliar with his original comic book incarnation, in the cartoon he is capable of learning and mimicing the powers of any being he encounters, then retaining said powers permanently. After fighting the entire JLA he gained all their powers and t...

Worst SciFi that I've seen would probably have to the Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers. There have been worse movies, certainly, but it was a huge letdown because I had high hopes for it. Between the cheap special effects (they didn't have any of the CGI models of the ships from the original series ...

I'm just as shocked that the enterprise computer aloud a non-starfleet person to use the turbo lift to get to the bridge. It allowed a civilian youth to gain access to a shuttlecraft once. Wasn't that guy an ensign like Wesley? Or at least a cadet? Even so, it's still pretty bad, just not as bad.[/...

Rabban specifically asks for them to use in hunting the Fremen and the Baron denies them and says specifically since they are not shielded, it's uneeded to have them anyway. As for rockets, given they were using them against the Sardukar in the Battle for Arrakeen, and as well as using them against...

Well, if you look at it from the perspective of Hinduism, all people (and gods) are aspects of a greater spirit (Brahma, I think). From that perspective the Force is the greater intelligence behind the universe and all living things are a part of it. Of course Obi Wan Kenobi said that living things ...

Or maybe, just maybe, the Slave One doesn't actually have KT level cannons. Perhaps authors of certain books that are regarded as 'canon' are a little too generous in interpreting the capabilities of Star Wars vehicles as a way of writing around certain inconsistencies, perceived or otherwise, in s...

By all rights ST V should not be part of ST canon. At least it offers a semi-plausible explanation for Kirk and the others being able to survive a torpedo explosion at close range. However, since the movie doesn't then we're allowed the ability to rationalize. Kinda like Boba Fett not vaporizing Ob...

It probable that the Torp was set on yield that wouldn't hurt Kirk and co., also the Torp does hit hole in ground detonates an unknown distance from the surface. According to the novellization of Star Trek V (yes, I read it at the time the movie came out. I am full of shame) the Wizard of Oz, er, G...

It could have been some other incendiary device that the stormies had with them. I still have to agree with that. Like Darth Wong said, a grenade or a fire would be unlikely to cause a total loss of flesh like that. And we've never seen a blaster fire a steady beam like "The Burning" woul...

Something I've always wondered is why the Stormtroopers went through lengths to cover up their atrocities against the Jawas or Luke's aunt and uncle. Does the Empire actually care about its image that much? I mean, these are the guys who decided it would be a great idea to rule the galaxy through te...
