Line 351:
** This particular bit of [[Fanon]] in regards to "Balancing the Force" sometimes gets annoying. [[Idiot Plot|How stupid do people think the Jedi are]]?
* From the first film, it is established both that 'droids are sentient and self aware enough to be loveable, sympathetic characters, and that they're ''routinely memory-wiped''.
** supplementary materials say that it takes a long time without memory wipes to develop these behaviors. R2-D2 hadn't been memory wiped in decades, and I'm pretty sure Anakin built
* Why do clone troopers have New Zealand accents, apart from the obvious? If we're going by [[Translation Convention]], they're the Star Wars equivalent of New Zealanders- and when [[Magnificent Bastard|Erwin Rommel]] says he could take and hold hell with New Zealanders, they're tough little buggers.
* ''Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.'' Obi-wan should know- he probably ''used to lead them.'' Alec Guinness' monotone delivery [[My God, What Have I Done?|now seems more like a tortured man trying hard not to relive the days he led the stormtroopers and their predecessors...]]
** Also doubles as [[Fridge Brilliance]] : The actual Stormtroopers [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy|have long ceased to be so precise]], but of course Obi-Wan remembers them differently...
** We have seen Sand People can pick off pod racers buzzing across the canyon floor at 400mph or so. Also, it doesn't take great deal of marksmanship to shoot a corpse at point blank range if one wants it to be less recognizable for some reason. But we know Obi-wan isn't shy of a ''huge'' lie to manipulate Luke, and perhaps a few [[Jedi Mind Trick]]s. And we know he had at least two reasons for blaming Stormtroopers: to turn Luke from personal vengeance (in old good Anakin's style) and against the Empire.
*** It's also possible that he didn't want Luke to find the real killer. Because the timing is too convenient for him - what would Luke do if they were alive?
* The Expanded Universe tells us that the main Imperial Pilot Academy (or whatever it was called) was located on Alderaan. Which means that when Death Star blew it up, they also killed all the would-be pilots training there. This takes [[For the Evulz]] of this act to a whole new level - not only was it unnecessary, it was also extremely counterproductive and may explain why good pilots were hard to find for the Empire...
* Ewoks. They seem cute, but barbecue humans and now they have guns and vehicles?
