The decoy queen knew exactly who Padme was, and would never assign her a menial task like that. There should be another reason for Padme to visit the others in the main hold!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-40831528447715761402008-01-06T18:05:00.000-05:002008-01-06T18:05:00.000-05:00That's not entirely accurate.

And while not all of those names are directly from the films, they <I>are</I> used in other places, such as the screenplays themselves. In any event, I didn't have to wait until starwars.com came along twenty years after the first movies to learn the names of those ships; every <I>SW</I> fan worth his or her salt knew those names back in 1977, 1980, and 1983. Not so now with the Prequels.Kelly Sedingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704114189919711467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-40010654938256478392008-01-06T12:04:00.000-05:002008-01-06T12:04:00.000-05:00Just a comment about your comment on ship names.

The other ships' names you mentioned were only revealed later at starwars.com, or in novelisations of the SW universe. Your knowledge of them is secondary to your original experience of viewing the films of the OT.Call me Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704646008578216859noreply@blogger.com
