Calling all Jedi-Masters, I've got some questions.

1. How does Episode 3 Ewan McGregor morph into Episode 4 Sir Alec Guinness in just 19 years? (Also, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru look like WB teens in Sith, then they're old and cranky in Hope) Is it Tatooine's desert climate? The two suns? Bad skin care?
2. It takes 19 years to build the first death star but just four to make the second fully operational. Did they use a better contractor, or did they just already know where everything went?
3. Why doesn' Obi-Wan (or anyone for that matter) recognize R2-D2 in A New Hope? And in the later trilogy, R2 appears to have lost the ablility to catch things and leap friskly out of spaceships. Droid arthritis?
4. Why did it take Chancellor Palpatine 4 or 5 shout outs to tell the storm troopers to kill the Jedi? Couldn't Mister All-Powerful just set up a conference call?
5. In a world of Qui-Gons, Obi-Wans, and Anakins, where'd Padme come up with...Luke? General Hostpital?

Well, maybe Obi Wan did recognize R2, he just didn't want to let on. Obviously he was acting on behalf of Luke's best interest. Otherwise Luke might have done something stupid and tried to dismantle R2 to find out more about his dear old dad.

And yeah, poor R2 went from looking like a cartoon to looking like an actual robot. Pretty weird.

Maybe all those orders from the Emperor were at the same time, we just had to see all the different guys get the message so we could witness all the deaths.

As for the names... it's Padme. She's not exactly about to cure cancer.

Yeah, he shocks Ewoks in the Jedi I am pretty sure, but I am talking about the rockets on his feet/torse/ambomin.

Yeah, what happened to R2's jet packs?

(Austin, what's "torse" and "ambomin"?)
