Things you just have to know.

A friend's son is currently obsessed with Star Wars. She posted these questions on facebook, which he apparently asks constantly. I thought I'd be helpful and answer all of them for her. Star Wars Geek Unite!

Does Jabba the Hut have hands?
Why can't you see them?
Does he have blood?
Why doesn't Darth Vader ever change his clothes?
Why does he have a red light saber?
Why do bounty hunters wear helmets?
Why do stormtroopers wear armor?
Are stormtroopers bad guys?
Are clones?
Why doesn't Darth Maul wear a mask?
Why do jedis stab people with light sabers?

Jabba has hands they are very small so they are hard to see.
Of course he has blood, but its probably not red.
Darth Vader doesn't change his clothes because his "clothes" are a life support system.
The light saber color is because of the focusing crystals. Why Vader's is Red is probably just cause her likes it that way.
Bounty hunters wear helmets and storm troopers wear armor so they won't get hurt when they fight people.

Stormtroopers are bad, clone troopers are not, well until later, its all very confusing and makes most star wars fans want to kick George Lucas in the groin.

Darth Maul doesn't wear a mask cause he's scary enough without one. :)

Good Jedi only stab people to protect others. Dark Jedi stab people because they are mean like that.

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
