I love this new feature: StarWars.com Questions & Answers.

Go check it out, its on the main page under updates, and I imagine its under the Community link, too. It's all the compiled questions over the years from the "Ask the Jedi Council" page, now updated into a snazzy new format.

Good stuff in here, too, like "How did the AT-At's get to the surface of Hoth?", and "How old is C3P0, really?", and "What happens to the ladder on Luke's X-Wing?"

They've compiled it into this handy list with a drop down menu, and they take new questions all the time. Sure, it doesn't answer all of my long-standing questions like "Where do babies come from?" and "Why is the sky blue?" and "What are those two monkeys doing?" and "Which direction do I face in an elevator?" But it can't be counted on to know the answer for everything. I mean...it's the Jedi Council. They didn't know a lot of things.

But I do have a lot of saga-related questions that I think still need answers. I'd imagine a lot of these questions remain unanswered for you as well, and I don't see how we're expected to enjoy or understand these movies or books or games without knowing this vital information. It's classic Star Wars, man - they leave out all of the crucial details and you're just left there trying to piece together a bunch of sloppy, disconnected thought fragments. So I say we get this cleared up right here, right now. Here goes:



1) If a stormtrooper fell in just before Solo was iced, why didn't he get frozen with a trooper attached to his lower body?


2) Is it fair to say the Death Star is sort of like God's cigarette lighter?


3) How do you get a call sign like "Wedge", and is it painful?


4) If, in fact, you shaved Chewbacca, would you find a naked Peter Mayhew?


5) C3PO fell asleep twice in A New Hope, and once in Empire Strikes Back, and we was wide awake the rest of the time. Is that why he's cranky?


6) How does the Imperial High Command shake hands, and is this why the Sith have the rule of 2?

"Darth! Moff, May I introduce Darth?"
"Darth. Darth."
"Moff, Darth. Moff"
"Admiral, Moff, Darth. Darth."
"Moff. Moff. Darth. Admiral. General. Darth."
"Admiral. General. Darth. Darth."


7) If the Sarlaac has a big mouth hole in the ground...does that mean there's an...exit on the other side of the planet?


8) What are those two wookiees doing?


9) Remember TK-421 and his buddy that got whacked and their duds stolen when the Falcon was in the Death Star docking bay? ..like..What happened to those guys?
Think about it.


10) Who is the more foolish, anyway - the fool or the fool the follows him?



These are just some loose ends the saga has left us with. Hopefully, we'll see answers to these important questions soon.

Anyways - go check out the StarWars.com Q&A, an interesting, if not sadly incomplete, repository of Star Wars trivia and useful info..

Except for where babies come from.
