Ask Manv your Star Wars Questions

[MANVERU 0]

I would most definetly class myself as a FULL BLOWN Star Wars nerd.

 

I can't think of anything, that I don't know about.

 

 

So, if anyone has ANY at all Star Wars questions, I'm the guy.

 

ASK AWAY!

[MANVERU 0]

BUMP!

 

 

C'mon, I bet you're thinking that i'm full of it.

 

 

Give it a go!

What brand of nose hair trimmer does Chewbacca use?

[MANVERU 0]

well, since the wookie species are against artifical technology.

 

 

I would say the Gushi plant.

[Kor37 9]

Is it true that Barbers are among the richest people in Wookie society?

[KIMIMELA 1]

What is the main goal of sw? like st is to "bodly go where no man has gone before"...?

Why are they less advace in future than past? In past u see them with Dual lightsabers (WHich is more superior to normal) but later on they only have Single handed ones? Personally i would of though it would make more sense to have more Duel Lightsabers.

 

(If this didnt make sense then sorry, im tired so rambling quite a bit)

Well, since the inhabitants of the SW universe have mastered Hyperspace, they no longer share the need to explore, after the sixth movie, an invasion from another galaxy entered their's. They have been very cautious since.

Basically, since the fall of the Empire, The New Rebellion will struggle to restore peace to the galaxy. Who knows, maybe they will decide to start exploring other galaxy's.

But the MAIN goal, is for peace and prosperity throughout the galaxy!

Simply, when the Empire came into power (18 BBY). They knew the only way to keep the galaxy in order, was to pretty much rule with an Iron fist, ridding the galaxy of freedom, doing this, they fazed out the Jedi and any force users. Why? becasue they posed a great threat.

 

Now, think about it. The only force people known to exist then, was the Emperor and Vader.

 

The Old Republic built a great civilisation, made on peace, technology and exploration.

When the Emperor came into power, he tore down these things, ridding the galaxy of "peace, technology and exploration."

Thus he made a new civilisation "The Galactic Empire".

Think of it as a new start. The Emperor didn't want anything to do with the OR, so he tore it down, even destroyed any technology, that could prrove beneficial to The Empire.

I thought Maul was allies with the Emperor and if so then it was he who used the dual lightsabre

[Wishfire 2]

Well, since the inhabitants of the SW universe have mastered Hyperspace, they no longer share the need to explore.

 

Then explain the Uncharted Territories. The EU has stated that about a third of their galaxy in unkown.

How the hell do you make the blade so... normal at the end of a light-saber?

[Kor37 9]

Has there ever been a recorded incident of a Jedi accidently slicing off his toes by turning on his light saber while it was still holstered?

[DrWho42 13]

What use does the blast shield serve?

[Kor37 9]

Where does Annakin get his hair done?

yes, he was his apprentice, some people just prefer to use the conventional saber. True, the double ended would serve a greater purpose, but tradition can sometimes serve a much more greater power.

 

Then explain the Uncharted Territories. The EU has stated that about a third of their galaxy in unkown.

 

um, no. Other novels have said that all of the galaxy has been ENTIRELY charted, I think you might be refering to areas that are impossible to navigate through.

 

 

Di wanna wanga?

wanga eh goer

 

 

How the hell do you make the blade so... normal at the end of a light-saber?

This question has plagued fans for ages! Many theorys state that the actual blade of the saber, is infinite, and that a high polarity force field surrounds the blade, and if the user do wishes, he can install a nob, that can control the length of the blade, this would proberbly adjust the length of the force field.

I'm absaloutely sure there has been, but it would have proberly been some careless Padawan.

um, der, it's a blast shield. It shields things that go BOOM!

Hehehehe.

 

Where does Annakin get his hair done?

Just Cuts.

And Obi wan has been known to look after his partner.

Hehehehe

[Kor37 9]

Do Jedis have a health care plan?

[KIMIMELA 1]

Are Jedis the goody goodys or the baddys?

[Kor37 9]

How much money does a Jedi make?

[DrWho42 13]

You do realise which side of the Force the Jedi operate under, aye? :)

 

How does one use a blast shield whilst operating a X-wing or other fighter?

 

Most/Least favourite droid?

 

Thought the Gonk droids were a bit odd myself.. :)

 

Have there ever other forms of travel besides the usual hyperdrive in the SW Universe, such as generational ships?

 

And what other types of sci-fi (if you know) does George Lucas enjoy?

 

I know that George Lucas was planning to remake Flash Gordon, but Dino De Laurentiis (creator of Barbarella and Danger: Diabolik) already owned the rights and was not interested in his interpretation, so George made Star Was.. Which reminds me...

 

Ever saw the short film: George Lucas in Love?

Of course!!!

Goodies, they believe in keeping the peace and order in the galaxy, however, power can corrupt a weak minded one, and lure him to the wonders of the Dark Side

 

 

How much money does a Jedi make?

 

When any Jedi is sworn in as a Padawan, they must take several vowes.

Very similar to that of the Catholic religion. Including poverty. I'm not too sure, but I do know they make enough to support any Jedi's needs.

Being a Jedi is about obtaining peace, not possesions.

 

How does one use a blast shield whilst operating a X-wing or other fighter?

 

Very similar to Trek. You push a button!!!!

however, using a blast shield will slow down your flight maneuverability

the R4 units have always taken my fancy.

Not to my knowledge.

STARWARS.COM states that he's a big fan of Battlestar galactica, but he has been watching HEEPS of Star Trek, to get ideas about the TV series.

No

:) The new or olde Battlestar Galactica? I remember 20th Century Fox sued Universal because they thought BSG stole 34 distinct ideas from Star Wars, back in 1978.

 

Here's an image of Luke wearing a helmet with the blast shield on...
