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

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.

WHAT?! Next you'll be telling me the Easter Bunny isn't real

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.

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

I thought it was an interesting choice to have something on the film and not interview the "principles" of the whole thing. But, for the most part, it was a big Duh! I would almost call it propaganda but since I didn't spell that right - I'll just say crap. I did like hearing about Joseph Campbell. How about a 2 hour program on how he influances SW? Or better yet, just watch the multi-hour PBS interview he did before he died.

There was a show on the technology of SW before it which I think iSm was referring to (and missed). It was far superior.

I was contacted by the History Channel to be a part of this special, but was told later that they'd "refocused." I'm glad I wasn't a part of it, because even this die-hard fan tuned out after an hour while they tried to elevate that sad second trilogy to high art. I've heard all the tired Jos Campbell rehash a thousand times. What a waste of time. It was like watching some sad pimply kid's high school essay brought to docu-life. And I'm a True Believer. *shakes head*
