well it sounds like the first order is pretty elite already and captain phasma of tarth has that :krad: chrome outfit so i wouldn't put it past them to have access to the metals that can resist lightsabers

i mean it's not like lightsabers are magic, and they clearly aren't even that hot if a human can hold them. you saw how long it took qui gon to cut through that door and it was probably just regular steel

also that stormtrooper clearly has some electric something or other and lightsabers are electromagnetic, quod sequitur he can resist it or whatever. can a lightsaber go through a deflector shield?

even ignoring the lightsaber, qui gon should have had his hands burned off just by how close he put them to that melting door. i assume he used the force to protect himself but that doesn't explain why his robes didnt catch fire. maybe they're asbestos

there must be some kind of unknown physics going on, like the lightsaber energy makes molecular bonds fall apart or something, cause if it takes that long to melt through a steel door and doesn't set fire everything around it, you could probably block a lightsaber with a refractory firebrick or a tungsten rod

By the way, when I get a new car I go through the manual from the first page to the last, underlining everything that might not come to your mind without reading it. I also note errors. I put Post-it notes on those pages (20 or 30 notes for my latest Prius, a 2010 model) and take notes on separate sheets of paper. I like to tell others things about their Priuses that they might not know.

I try to educate Janet from my own learning but she doesn't remember subtle things that one never uses. So one time, to better educate Janet, I pushed the button by the driver's left knee (2009 or earlier models), which disable the keyless entry system, and the ability to start your Prius without putting the key into the ignition. As I drove toward home in my Prius my cellphone rang. It was Janet screaming that I was driving away with her key. I'd just driven her Prius to a parking spot by my own Prius. But now her Prius would not start. I calmly told her that I did not have her key. It took awhile to ask where she'd put her key and to calmly tell her to look there (her purse) and she found it. Then I told her calmly to put it in the ignition. When she got home I showed her the button. She will NEVER forget that lesson. I consider it an example of good teaching.

in the EU, Fett escapes the sarlacc, and then later is eaten by another sarlacc, where he dies. he might've come back again, im not sure

there's a short story about it that is kinda interesting and depicts the sarlaac as an intelligent creature that sort of mind-melds with the beings it has 'eaten' as they are absorbed into its guts, so the beings stay mentally present for hundreds of years until their consciousness becomes indistinguishable from the sarlaac's hence the "digested over a thousand years' thing.

ofc boba fett just uses the stomach acid to make rocket fuel or something and rockets out and crawls across the desert cause bullshit but w/e, i liked the first part

which is really dumb because it's a literal interpretation of jabba's "you'll be digested over a thousand years" line

i really like thunderball's first act. it's tight and tense like a cold war spy thriller should be. even the underwater scenes where they steal the bombs are well done. and let's not forget the opening with the jetpack, an all time classic bond scene, or the part where bond murders a guy by boiling him to death in a steam bath, still one of the grislier killings in the whole series

it just goes to hell when bond gets to the bahamas and meets the villain immediately and then needs to fill time for the remaining 2/3 of the film
