• When Alderaan exploded, did Obi-Wan Kenobi feel it instantaneously or was there a speed-of-light delay?*
• Yoda says “Always two Sith there are. No more, no less.”
• So why did the Jedi think the Sith had been extinct for a thousand years?
• Who are the two Sith after Darth Vader and Darth Sidious both die in the Death Star?
• Han Solo boasts that the Millenium Falcon made the Kessel Run in under twelve parsecs.
• People have pointed out that this is a unit of distance, not time, but aren’t they equivalent according to relativity? Since there’s no real way to time a run that long, couldn’t someone have checked the Falcon’s odometer after the run to see how long it took him?
• Or, more likely … is Solo just lying to con Luke and Obi-Wan?
• Finally and most importantly … what changes in the prequels if Qui-Gon never finds Anakin? Dooku doesn’t get killed by Anakin so presumably he remains Sidious’s apprentice. The Jedi still get exterminated and Palpatine still takes control of the Senate and becomes emperor. The Death Star is still built with Dooku taking the role of Darth Vader. The main events that never happen are Luke and Leia being born and Naboo being saved. I guess my point is … all the bad things still happen if Anakin is never found, but none of the good things in the original trilogy ever happen. Finding Anakin wasn’t a bad thing for the Jedi; it saved them.
