The biggest question from the Phantom Menace
Dave wrote a long blog about the whole Star Wars versus Star Trek thing. Personally I think they both suck and for the most part always have, although if you put a gun to my head I guess I would have to vote Trek. However, while arguing with Dave about it I was reminded of the ultimate question from Phantom Menace. If your mind is ready to be blown apart here it is:
“Where the hell did eight year old Anakin Skywalker find a child sized helmet inside the cockpit of a Naboo fighter normally piloted by an adult???”
That’s pretty much it. I guess Lucas believes in child safety strongly enough to put the continuity of his film in serious jeopardy. The Who’s your Daddy image I found in Dave’s Star Wars t shirts. I find it funny, but also creepy when you see adult Padme connecting with eight year old Anakin.

Obviously, Anakin just had a giant head so the adult sized helmet fit him just fine. Right? At least thats how I’m going to choose to look at it anytime I watch that scene now. 🙂

Could be helmets in the Star Wars universe are one size fits all and shrink down for kid heads?

Hmmm, a one size fits all. That would make shopping for fighter gear much easier. All you need to do is press this one little button and the item of your choice will shrink or expand to your fitting. I like that idea.

Either that or it’s like a rubber glove that stretches to expand around a larger head. Perhaps each cockpit is equipped with a helmet dispenser that takes quarters.

I can just hear their pockets jingling now. What a pain it would be to always need to carry quarters.
