Only one left is the flametrooper, who has no OT connection

Sure he does!

Not cast and crew, that's for sure. They love the guy.

People closer in level to the director - execs, producers, department heads (established ones) tend to be more candid.

Sure he does!

:D

I always wondered - how did that happen exactly? Stormtroopers stood around them and fired laser blasts until they were fried? It's just that people hit with laser beams in SW just fall over dead.

So yeah - maybe flametroopers were OT after all. Though I can't imagine Owen and Beru put up much of a fight.:dunno

I think they just burned the bodies to make it look like a raider attack. In ANH in particular, the Imperials were murderous thugs but acted like they actually had to govern, and between bad publicity and maybe not wanting to tip off the public that they had lost something big -- they were somewhat sneaky about their murdering.

And I'm pretty sure somewhere there's an EU story wherein we find out that Beru and Owen were cybernetically enhanced ninjas from their days as super-spies for some Galactic Cartel and took like...fifteen elite stormtroopers down before self-detonating in order to finish the fight and protect Luke.

Until Poe shoots FN2187's stormtrooper friend and somehow he gets all bloody.
 
Yeah I guess that's true. Always seemed like the lasers burned or singed rather than caused bleeding but she had a bloody bandage after that shot.
 
Yep. SW = inconsistency.

It's one of the few series' that wears that as a badge of honour. :lol

Do you think that after the battle of Endor the rebels piled all the dead ewoks and burnt them the same way Luke and 3PO piled the dead Jawas to be burnt?:lol
 
Star Wars has never really been consistent with those types of things. Walrus Man's severed arm bleeds, Luke's cauterizes, etc.

Maybe Walrusman/Ponda Baba suffered from hemophilia :dunno

Except that it's not hemoglobin stopping a laser burn from bleeding.

The funny thing about fantasy is that you can imagine stuff that are not related to our reality. Maybe Aqualish just don't have a circulatory system based on vessels, maybe their cells can endure extremely high temperature without burning...who knows?
