If you would like the answers to these questions, please say which, in your reply... the answers come from Star Wars Insider...How is it that Padme so easily recovers from falling from the Republic gunship? Why did Jango hire Zam to kill Padme, and why didn't he do it himself? Why didn't Jango just kill Obi-Wan and Anakin when he had the chance, rather than kill Zam? When Padme retransmits the signal from Obi-Wan to Coruscant, she presses a particular button. Later, when she shows Anakin where Geonosis is located, she presses the exact same button and it does something different. What gives? *my personal fav*Why doesn't Jango's head fall out of the helmet when Boba picks it up?---*hopes someone bites on this one*  -------------------- In the absence of light, darkness prevails

OK, here we go:1. Padme recovers so easily because she's Natalie Portman. Nuff said.... (heaven forbid she get so much as a hair on her head mussed, sheesh.) 2. Because if he were to kill Padme, he WOULD kill Padme, and Padme is Natalie Portman. (see question one) 3. Because there would go the story down the drain. 4. This one is a good one. Because she's Natalie Portman...? Hehehe.... 5. This falls into the same category of disappearing quarks. Or reappearing ones; it's a probability thing, I swear. But similar to how everyone takes a blaster bolt and falls dead without so much as a scorch mark on them, let alone a gaping hole.... Grins through whiskers and disappears ala Cheshire Cat....  -------------------- I ride the Stormcloud and the Night!

Ok... here are the answers, straight from Star Wars Insider...1. The sand dunes on Geonosis cushioned her fall, but also the planet has a slightly lighter than standard gravity. This also accounts for some of Geonosis' towering topography and the ease of Geonosian flight.(that is what the 'official' magazine stated... but, I would have to say the way she got up so perky like... because she is Natalie Portman...) 2. Jango has a personal distaste for assassination. More importantly, he sought to distance himself from the Separatists who wanted Padme dead. Jango was careful not to be directly connected with Count Dooku or Nute Gunray, who made his joining of the Separatists contingent on Padme's death.('Shoot her, or something...')---added that myself... 3. Jango's payment for the Senatorial hit covered subcontracting out to Zam, not eliminating two Jedi. It also didn't cover the risks involved in tangling with two Jedi if it wasn't absolutely necessary. Since he was the one who hired Zam, and she failed, it was his responsibility to clean up the mess.(is it just me, or did Jango look like the rocketeer, when he blasted off after killing Zam...)  4. What you don't see is that Padme is holding down a "shift" button with her left hand. She must have her personal starship's controls tricked out with all sorts of hot keys and shortcuts.(I think they couldn't find anyone stupid enough to ask Natalie to re shoot the scene...) 5. Next time you watch the movie, look very carefully as Jango's helmet hits the dusty arena floor. Only, don't watch the helmet--watch the helmet's shadow. In shadow form, you can see that Jango's head falls out of the helmet before it hits the ground.(I guess Boba holding his father's severed head is a tad too gruesome to watch...) And I'm spent, that was A LOT of typing, hope you enjoy... cuz you better...  -------------------- In the absence of light, darkness prevails
