There was one question that has always puzzled me, and was not answered in Revenge of the Sith.

Who is Darth Vader's son so much shorter than he is? I mean, does anybody know a full grown son that's a foot shorter than his dad? Is the some kind of moisture farming fumes that would stunt his growth??

I figured because Padme is short

uh what about the fact that Darth Vaders legs are Add ons????

Here is one: Since Owen is Anakin's step-brother, why did Vader never think to look there for his "hidden" children...

Simple. Padme dead. Never thought that a kid lived as she died in child birth. There was also to many bad memories on Tatoinne. Shmi dies there as well as he was a slave to watto. Why go back?

Still, it doesn't stike me as a great place to hide a kid who still has the last name "Skywalker"

At Padme's funeral she is made to look pregnant.
He does not know of any children so why look for them?

Sure you can find holes in the story here and there but it's still great.
Plus there is always some far fetched answer that you can think of

It's A fantastic movie. And, I know Darth Vader's legs are "Add Ons", but Anakin was still taller than everybody else.


And, about hiding Luke. Tattoine is a small planet of no value. He had only met his step-brother once, right before he found out his mother dies. I'm sure Darth had no interest in traveling there. Plus, we have no idea what the Emperor told Darth about his child.

*** MOVIE SPOILER***
This movie really showed us what a slimeball the emperor is. I mean, he told Anakin "I know a way to save your wife". Then, when Anakin pledged his loyalty, it was "Well, I sorta know, but it's never been tried, we'll practice and hope for the best." Finally, when Darth wakes up, it's " My bad. Your wife died. AND IT's ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Simple. Vadar never knew he had children. Palpatine told him that he had killed Padme. He had no reason to believe that she was alive long enough to give birth. He would assume that the child died as well. He wouldn't sense them, as he would have to be specifically looking for them.

Something I really don’t get is that in Return of the Jedi, when Luke is speaking to Leia in Ewok Village, he asks her if she remembers her real mother. She says yes, that she was beautiful and she died when she was very young.

How could she remember Padme when she died almost immediately after her and Luke were born?!!

Padme always did make a strong first impression....

My son and I watched THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK last night. That HUGE kiss between Leia and Luke is pretty creepy now.

No matter how many times I try to watch any of the Star Wars movies I always fall asleep.

All I know is that my friend got a bootleg. He said the quality was great, except for the fact that it cut off the last 15 minutes of the movie. Now he has go pay $10 to see basically the last 15 minutes of the show, $.75 per minute. I was hysterical when he told me.

I just saw it again, I really loved it. I noticed a few little things I didn't catch the first time around, so it made it fun again.

I think I spotted George Lucas this time, he's at the top of the stairs on the left side of the screen with blue face and a big flat headpiece, when Anakin runs up to the theatre where Palpatine is. Pretty sure it was him, if anybody can confirm it.

Anakin reminded me of the Monty Python Knight in the "Holy Grail" at the end there.

The Millineum Falcon is in the movie.

Anybody see it?

Where? I missed that one.

all right *SPOILER*

when Obi Wan and Anakin land at the space port, after freeing the Cnancellor. The Falcon is landing in a port below them.

Yeah that was him.
His son is the young Jedi that get's cut down by Clonetroopers outside the Jedi Temple right in front of Bail Organa.
His 2 daughters are also in the movie, in the background of the landing scene after freeing the Chancellor

Padme had a large stomach and still look pregnant when the funeral procession went by.

Does that really count? I didn't know they released them "Down Under"

Last one was filmed here

Not the "Lord of the Rings" silly...
