I don`t have a problem discussing a Sci-Fi movie, thats not the point! I think SW contains so many things to discuss, but why do we discuss the realism of it here??? It`s a movie, at it is the way george wanted it to be. Of course there are scenes that would be more realistic if ... . In my opinion its the small details that make the mystery of SW, not the fact that the emperors fleet was nearly unstoppable. its the irony that some little Ewoks and 3 tiny A-Wing are responsible for the defeat of the Empire ( ok, luke and leia also played a little part in it ! ). Thats worth being discussed, not the number of Laser Batteries on the left side of the Executor. Just some words concerning the comment above: You`re right, i didn`t know all of that, but don`t you think that this flimsy explanation of the parasec story is a little bit strange. i do know that there has been an official explanation of it, but i think han`s sentence was one tiny mistake in the movie, and there had to be a logical announcement at http://www.starwars.com so that no one will call it a mistake. It WAS a mistake, but G.L. explained it in a very difficult way no one would understand and ..puff... its no longer a mistake !!! Greetz, torsten P.S.: Ok, the cursing was not necessary, sorry for that !
