Star Wars Article Summary

I chose to read this Star Wars Article about things that were unreal in the Star Wars Saga. It had several important subtitles:

Gravity


The death star had to have artificial gravity for it to work. The article author, Lee Roop, interviewed some of NASA's architects and they explained that there needed to be rotation and acceleration for there to be artificial gravity in the Death Star because it was way too small to have Earth-like gravity. One scientist offered to make the death star inside a balloon so that there would be pressure and an atmosphere. Another proposed to make the Death Star turn around its axis to make artificial gravity.

They also said that the Death Star was inspired by one of Saturn's moons: Mimas. It has a crater like the laser weapon in the Death Star and it is also gray.

Princess Leia's Slave Outfit


It tells the story of the outfit. Its designer, Aggie Guerard, said it was actually two costumes, a metal one for the "calm scenes", and a rubber one used for comfortableness in the "action parts".
Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) posted on her website that the outfit “had the tendency to make my now not-so-private privates quite public. Especially for the actor standing behind Jabba, playing Boba Fett [Jeremy Bullock]. From where Boba stood, so straight and tall and severe behind his mask — to put it simply and weirdly, Jeremy could see beyond my yawning, plastic bikini bottoms all the way to Florida.”- Carrie Fisher


Return of the Jedi Stats


This part of the article described the success of the movie. It said that in the first weekend, it won 23 million dollars, in total it won 309.2 million dollars and it was nominated for the Academy Awards but did not win any.
