Line 84:
** See also how thanks to the video games' endless reliving of the Battle of Hoth, what was, in the movies, a one-time, fairly cool longshot that happened to pay off - the snowspeeder managing to trip the AT-AT with a tow cable - has now become the de rigeur, recommended means for killing AT-ATs.
*** This was nicely subverted in one of the [[X Wing Series|X-Wing novels]], where it is demonstrated that real starfighters find AT-ATs target practice, even without using single proton torpedoes to blow them to bits. Of course, this also causes the [[Fridge Logic]] to attack since Luke's X-Wing was sitting around doing nothing on Hoth...
** Not to mention Force Lightning: It's used six times in the six movies - three times by Palpatine (''Return of the Jedi'', twice in ''Revenge of the Sith'') and three times by Dooku/Darth Tyrannus (all in ''Attack Of The Clones''). Both major league Sith Lords. In the games, anyone who has a smidge of Dark Side can throw lightning around with impunity [https://web.archive.org/web/20140807012225/http://jediknight3.filefront.com/potd/40774 and on a vastly greater scale, too].
*** In ''Jedi Starfighter'', Jedi can use lightning with no karma meter to speak of. Timed correctly, you can destroy five fightercraft at once with it!
** The planet Tatooine is a particularly malignant plot tumor in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Expanded Universe]]. Initially introduced as a thoroughly unremarkable backwater world ("If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet it's farthest from"), it's since been featured with varying degrees of prominence in almost every [[Star Wars]] game and, in the end, appeared in five of the six films. Its appearances in the [[Expanded Universe]] may even outnumber those of Coruscant, ostensibly the ''capital planet'' of the galaxy.
