BUT - Cloud City is on Bespin, which has a breathable atmosphere, even at that altitude. People are shown outdoors on Cloud City all the time. What are you smokin', BarTopDancer?

Nothing - maybe that's the problem

Those are two of the most plausible techno elements in Star Wars. The self-terminating beams of lightsabers, interplanetary and nimble maneuvering capabilities of small fighter craft, and light-speed capabilities of larger craft are far more outlandish.

But I totally bought the lightsabers, small fighter craft capabilities and light-speed! Are you telling me those aren't real??

No. And neither is Santa Claus.

BTW iSm - There is an entirely seperate History Channel show called "Star Wars Tech" - that was hundreds of times more interesting than the Legacy revealed snoozefest; they compare Star Wars technology with what's available in our universe, and how some fields are rapidly approaching what's available in Star Wars, and how some others are completely unreal.

The only moment I know of when characters are in outer space and should die is when the Falcon lands inside an asteroid (really, inside a large creature) and decide to go see the inside of the asteroid wearing nothing but an oxygen mask. That's always bugged me as a huge oversight. There is no atmosphere on an asteroid, and without pressurized suits, they would explode.

One could (poorly) argue that there's an atmosphere inside the creature...but the fact that the creature exists in space pushes the whole sequence into complete fantasy territory. Once you've got that, well, why not have X-Wings that act like planes?

Reminds me of a favorite scene in Flesh Gordan, when Flexy Jerkoff steps out of the ship, takes a deep breath, and declares, "Good, there's oxygen on this planet."

Oh and I love deconstructing myth in contemporary fiction

Actually, wouldn't one implode? I for one would like to see that!

Neither. Though explode is the more plausible guess due to the extreme pressure differential.

The Easter Bunny is real, real YUMMY!

It didn't get better after the first ten minutes. It was a weird doco.
I mean, interviewing Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi about SW? WTF? Who the hell cares?
They also said weird things that weren't proved in the movie like the Speeder Scouts navigated the forests so well because their helmets enabled them to do so. Huh? They crashed a lot.
