CHEKIT: A guide to Episode III for non-geeks.


Accents
In the Star Wars universe, accents = evil unless you are Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Oh, come on. You know who Obi-Wan Kenobi is. What, are you kidding me?

The Force
Jedi use this magical energy for various superpowers—telepathy, telekinesis, precognition, and so on. Somewhere between episodes III and IV, using the Force turns into something to be embarrassed about in the increasingly technological Empire. Only losers say "may the Force be with you," and one of Darth Vader's officers describes his faith as a "sad devotion to an ancient religion." Vader chokes him.

And other useful information for the uninitiated. As if you needed it.
