Error in Episode III?

[Darth Priceless]

In Episode III Revenge of the Sith Palpatine tells Anakin the story of Darth Plagueis and about imortality. If you read the book Episode III Revenge of the Sith in the end Yoda mentions that the legend of Darth Plagueis was true, that it was possible to become immortal but only for yourself. Now Palpatine was Darth Plagusies apprentice so Darth Plaguise probably had been alive somewhere around Anakin's birth. In the end of Episode I The Phantom Menace Ki-Adi Mundi says that the sith had been extinct for around a thousand years. So how would Yoda have known about Darth Plagueis if they did not know of his existance?

[Empress Palpatine]

The book author probably made a mistake, forgetting some of the known facts.

Even the films have some errors, like the misuse of the term "parsec." General Grevious is part organic, and yet he ejects out into open space for a few moments.

[Darth Priceless]

Yeah that did make me wonder, he is still part human, barely but he still is a small part. The author should have paid closer attention to the movies.

[Darth Devious]

Both of you are overanalysing. In Episode V, TESB, there is a creature living in a cave on an airless asteroid.


I dont think we really know if General Greivious was part human. There might actually be species that can survive the vacuum of space.

That General Grevious was part living and mostly metal was foreshadowing Vader's transformation; "We can rebuild him" (now I'm really dating myself). I kept wondering why a droid would have a chronic cough, until they showed that he wasn't a droid. The technology they used to turn him into a machine probably protected his organic parts out in space.

As Devious points out, just because we can't survive the vacuum of space doesn't mean that there aren't other life forms that can. Some people think life on earth started from some organism on an asteroid. What's to say that giant worm didn't evolve from a tiny asteroid orangism?
Han and Leia would not have been able to survive on that asteroid without pressurized suits. It's not lack of oxygen that will kill you in space.

As far as I'm concerned, Episodes I and II were a waste of celluloid. All three of the prequels raise more inconsistencies with the original trilogy than could be answered. Think about it, only R2 and 3PO had their memories erased, Vader didn't. You'd think he'd have recognized them. I ignored the "history" and focused on Vader's transformation, which I had been waiting 20+ years to see.
