Poll: Impossible nerd questions

[atalanta]

No. Boba Fett sets off a thermal grenade, is blown free, rescued by one of Jabaa's slave girls and another bounty hunter named Dengar.

Uh....no. Boba Fett, with his clearly malfunctioning (ie BROKEN) jetpack is swallowed by the Sarlaac, doomed to be consumed over how ever many thousands of years it takes the beastie to work his metal-covered carcass through its intestines.

And I'd like to point out that the "Extended Universe", endorsed by George Luca$ to cash in on whatever fan loyalty he could find, IS NOT CANON.

I... uh, okay. You're missing out on the best part of Star Wars, but suit yourself v(._.)v

Han...Duh

Now here's one. Does Boba ever crawl his way out of the Sarlacc pit? In Canon?

Do you consider the Extended Universe canon? Because if so, yes he did. Because he is one bad-ass ************.

That dude is one bad-ass mother fucker.

Han, obviously.

Can a Lightsaber cut Superman?

Nope. Lightsabers can't cut through things like force fields and vibroblades; I figure Superman probably fits into the same category.

If Superman is invincible, how can Kryptonite hurt him?

'Cause he's not. Krypton had higher gravity and a red sun; living on Earth with our yellow sun and pitiful gravity is what gives him his superpowers. Kryptonite is radioactive bits of the now-destroyed Krypton, so thanks to artistic license, his usual superpowers are negated just by having bits of his homeworld near him.

The man has flesh made of what should at most be called a dense chitin that looks like human skin--maybe thick enough to stop bullets, but he repeatedly gets the crap beat out of him by energy weapons. And if they were doing it in the usual spot for epic lightsaber battles, which is to say somewhere dark and industrial, and away from the sun, the Superman is fucked, no?

True about the energy weapons, whoops.

But Supes doesn't lose his powers every time he leaves earth/goes underground, so I figure he must store energy like a battery or something, so he'd still be able to do everything else.

Would a lightsaber reflect his laser eyes? It would have to, wouldn't it?

I say totally to the laser eyes. But while he doesn't lose his power, he would run out at one point, and the one thing Star Wars would definitely have on him would be the whole massive mechanical complex/subterranean basement after twenty story fall full of ledges/midspace fight, all of which are far from direct sunlight, which is how he would recharge. And if they beat him down far enough with the lightsaber that he didn't have enough energy to bust out through all of it towards the nearest sun, he'd totally be screwed, no?

Yeah, but they'd have to work really, really hard to get him to that point. If they held him down with the Force for long enough, I suppose.

Now here's one. Does Boba ever crawl his way out of the Sarlacc pit? In Canon?

Boba crawls out of the pit. he had actually fallen in prior to the events of Episode VI.Currently he is exiled from Mandalore because of Han's asshole cousin after he became the new leader of the Mandalorian people.

God, I love being a nerd.

I'll contribute a question. Was it alright for Luke to name himself Grand Master of the Jedi Order? It kinda seems like he's a little full of himself doesn't it?

 

[The Candyman]

If slowed down, I'm pretty sure greedo shoots first in the re-mastered one, but Han's neck stretches like Mr. incredible

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Yeah, but they'd have to work really, really hard to get him to that point. If they held him down with the Force for long enough, I suppose.

Eh. That or imprisoned Wonder Woman, or something. Supes goes bananas when she gets her ass kidnapped. And not even the strong, awesome kind of bananas, the stupid and reckless kind that allows himself to be drawn into a giant trap.

Oh, I'm not missing anything. I'm in the process of reading the material that is being contested as canon (a little late to the show, but whatever, I was busy). Not being canon doesn't mean it isn't good, just like being canon doesn't make something good (looking at you Jar-Jar.) Canon merely refers to the original, intended storyline, and for me, that means the original media, which was, unfortunately, the movies.

There were no living and trained jedis left besides Luke (that I know of) so he was kind of a lock for the position.

 

[stabnex]

How many times was IG-88 destroyed?

There were 4 (maybe 6?) IG-88's. One was the supercomputer of the second Death Star and it took over destroying priority ships from the gunners. Even messed with Emperor Palpatine by making his turbolift door jam shut over and over. ^-^

 

[AvsJoe]

I grow weary of this argument, especially considering that everyone knows that Han shot first, well, first. Is this even an argument anymore or is this just a form of bitching at Lucas' screwing with this beloved series?

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

A parsec is a unit of distance not time, how did the Millennium Falcon make the Kessel run in less than 12?

Because the ships navicomputer and maneuverability are so impressive, a route can be calculated through a highly-obstacled section of space that less powerful ships would not be able to make.

THink of it like hiking through a forest. The guy wearing hiking boots has fewer things he has to walk around than the dumbass in flipflops.

 

[KillerH]

Han.

What came first: the chicken or the egg?

Trick question, the rooster had to come first...(I feel bad if you miss the joke)

 

[blue heartless]

Greedo shot first. Shame he missed.

Fair enough. I feel like more thought and effort was put into worldbuilding and continuity in the EU stuff than the original trilogy and I'm rather overfond of a lot of the characters (including my terrible schoolgirl crush on Wedge Antilles, who appears in the movies for, like, thirty seconds), so I'm more than happy to count them as canon.

Well, at least as canon as the prequel trilogy :V

Still you'd think Master would suffice. I guess it was keeping with the traditions of all the Jedi having a Grand Master. It's just a title though I guess. Doesn't really give him any power over the others. At least Luke didn't really assume the title until The Swarm War.

 

[Murdering Monk]

A parsec is a unit of distance not time, how did the Millennium Falcon make the Kessel run in less than 12?

Because he took a shortcut, and it only took him 11 parsecs.

 

[Srkkl]

Why is Boba Fett so cool? He did basically nothing in the movies yet he is some badass.

BTW I do think he's badass too I'm just wondering why.

 

[joshthor]

han did in the movie. expanded universe though? i do not know for sure.

 

[fishbiscuit13]

Because it goes through a black hole field, he's bragging that he can go through it in a very short route, or one that has more chance of approaching a black hole and being more dangerous.

 

[lapan]

Who shot first? I don't care, as simple as that. i'm fine with either one. Also i did find the new triology, while not as good as the original one, to be entertaining. Could be because i was pretty young when episode 1 aired, but still...

 

[Fappy]

I asked this question in a thesis for an essay last semester and got an A on it

 

[a stranger]

han
aslo if superman flys into the sun those he get more powerful or those he just burn up and die?
