Why do you like Star Wars so much?

[Darth Logos]

That's excellent.  Envious.

I like to think so.

As I got older the sheer scale of the engineering just blew my mind. It is probably one of the single greatest contributors of my fascination with engineering, and why I became one.

Also, a degree in engineering is quite impressive. 

That's no small feat.  My brother has an ring made of Fe as well.

I'd have prefer Stainless if not tungsten carbide. Iron rusts. As far as my engineering degree, math and science have always come pretty easy to me. Unfortunately that damn logic upgrade makes it difficult for me to suspend disbelief when watching movies, especially sci-fi. So if I can believe the fictitious tech, you did a good job.

Personally, I choose to ignore things like...oh...say - no sound in space...or fire, but whatever.

I have a math/science background as well (Chem Tech), but it was a three year diploma...not a degree.

I usually don't pay too much attention to the sound thing, but the little uber-nerd in my brain started spanking it the first time I saw Jayne fire Vera in the vacuum. _{No sound}

I remember when my parents took me to see Empire Strikes Back in the theaters when it came out. That's when I first liked SW. From millennium falcon, the X-wing fighters, the droids, and the amazing power of the force and lightsabers. I had never seen anything else like this! It has a storyline and fight scenes and amazing planets in other galaxies that causes you to wonder is there places like this out in space. Lol! When I was little I believed in the force and lightsabers and cool spaceships. But when I got older, I knew it was all visual effects, but there's still that small kid part of me that loves to imagine that it's real Lol! I love that it's a generational story about a special family long time ago from a far far far away galaxy. But it's always close to my heart growing up with Star Wars throughout the years.

midichlorians told me to do it.

Good answer.

Midichlorians are a myth. And a bad myth at that.

Elaboration required.

It was a weak plot device used so they could quantify how strong in the Force Anakin was. Ever notice how it never comes up again?

I just always applied the same logic behind Magic vs. Muggle in HP. You're either born with it, or not. And you just are strong or weak in it.

Comes up in the Clone Wars a few times.  Not even dealing with Anakin.

It doesn't come up after the Jedi are gone as such things are outlawed, suppressed, and perhaps even forgotten under the Empire (the Jedi and Force became almost a Myth in under a generation).  Such knowledge was not imparted on Luke.  At least to our knowledge.

Actually, that's kind of always the way I looked at it as well...until TPM...I don't remember ever hearing about it again in the movies, and haven't watched anything beyond that.

They are never mentioned in SWTOR.
