I like the way some people have to take everything so seriously and apply physics to fantasy... [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=green>They kinda explain it if you play the x-wing games or read some of the books. they bank on the axis using thrusters. the reason why they banked is to get a better attack angle on the death star.</font>

I think Darth Maul is an even cooler vilain than Darth Vader. That animal look he has, that's just way to cool! Shame he had to die in the first movie..

Darth Sidious is by far the most sinister. Engineers attack on his home planet, which he is a governmental representative of, just so he can oust the governmental leader. Then he takes the spot of leader. And claims credit for it when others end the war he started. Then he contracts for the building an army in secret, and starts a civil war so his government will demand he procure said army. All while he's meeting with the top jedi daily. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Then he seduces some of the most powerful jedi by puffing up their egos, etc, and orders his star pupil to hunt down all the jedi. Then he orders his general Tarkin to blow up a planet just to test a weapon, only days after he disbands all of the senate and makes himself supreme ruler. Marshall law follows. Then he gets his star pupil to hunt down the star pupil's own son and bring him before him. Then he tells that son to kill the star pupil (his father) and take his place. When said son refuses, he proceeds to personally execute the whiney little brat right in front of his father.

THERE IS NO ONE MORE SINISTER.

I agree. He looked cool with that long dark hooded coat. And Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were losers! They attacked him both at the same time,but he still kicked their arses.
And Obi-Wan should become a Jedi who gives is to the Dark Side becuase he was angry and seek venegance.

Yes well I suppose if you call getting cut in half and falling into the obligatory deep pit in the middle of the room 'kicking their arses', then yes, he did [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I forgot. Who actually was Darth Sidious. IIRC he was Senator Palpatine. Please correct me if I am wrong.

</font>[/QUOTE]You could use the same argument then that they only blew up the death star because they 'had' to or Anakin only won the pod race because he 'had' to. What a weird comment! [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] They attacked him together and he fended them off for a certain amount of time, he killed one of them then was killed himself. Hardly kicking their arses.

Anakin in episode 2 fought pretty well with dual lightsabres against Tyranus - I suppose you could say he kicked his arse too, nevermind the fact that he lost an arm and the battle
