My credentials seem to expand every time Teague retells the lightsaber power requirements story. Apparently now I was writing a thesis, maybe next time I get to be a professor. Anyway, taking the clip from TPM where Qui-Gon is melting through the blast door and making some assumptions, you can do some math and figure out possible power requirements for a lightsaber, a number I recall being in the realm of 300 Megawatts, which, in comparison, is more than enough to power an aircraft carrier.

I miss the faces.

Teague, I love your music and you should make more of it. I once again repeat: If you made an It's Godless and Beeps album, I would pay you real life money for it.

I was just listening to this, and this is a response to your discussion on how Leia couldn't possible remember her mother. The retcon I personally came up with is that the mother Leia remembers is Mrs. Organa, who could quite possible have died when Leia was young. Luke asks her about her mother before he tells her she's his sister, so at that point she has no reason to think Mrs. Organa isn't her real mother.
