I would surmise that she is reffereing to the moment when Luke is clinging for life after/during his fight with Darth Vader.
He is in fact, in space.

I'm not scared of the animated series. Actually, Episode 2.5 (the cartoon network series) was my favorite of the second trilogy.

There's a great fanedit that takes all of the short episodes and strings them together (minus opening and closing credits) - it's a satisfying movie.

with as much CGI as there was in the last few they might as well just go all ani.

this actually didnt look bad

It lost me when they started comparing the journey of Anakin/Darth Vader to that of Lucifer/Satan. I mean, as far as films go, there's no question that Star Wars is an epic tale. But to compare it to the Bible?? And by that logic, shouldn't that have meant that there was a Jesus figure as his good counterpart? Perhaps I'm wrong here, but I can't recall anyone dying for the sins of the Rebel Alliance. Maybe an argument could be made for Obi Wan Kenobi, but that's a stretch.

So when are they re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re releasing the movies for the 30th anniversary DVD?

(Lucasfilm: "Oh my GAWD we found the Masters from Georgie the Hutt's vaults!!! Now the originals finally are cleaned up, and you lucky people can pay $150 for it all, don't you feel lucky that you have the HONOR of paying for Georgie's next high-carb meal!")

Nope, they let the 30th come and go with a big yawn.


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?

Similarly, spaceship cockpits can have oxygen in them. They are a sealed environment.

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.

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
