They explicitly state "This is an ice world" and "this is a desert planet"

They could have just said "This is the polar area of this planet" or "this is a huge desert on this planet"

There are actually planets covered in ice, and planets that are completely deserts.

It's not every effing planet has a diverse eco system like earth. Get over it.

How can any planet support life if the entire surface is a desert or the entire surface is a planet?


And why do all the worlds with plants have earth-plants?


And why are humans fucking everywhere?

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Because the movies were based on movie serials of the 40s and rather than having humans fucking everywhere be a flaw, every non-human alien made that supporting character fun.

It did what it was doing. It was not what you wanted it to do. This is probably why you don't care for it, especially as sci fi.

Because it's an adventure series, not hard sci-fi. The physics of lightsabers, anyone? Faster-than-light space travel? The freaking Force? There's so much more you could be bitching pointlessly about, anon! Get to it!

Those can all be answered by one word.

colonization.

it's not a fucking hard concept to understand, what are you, ten?

If the entire surface is a desert, then the animals and plants on that plant would obviously have evolved to survive in that environment. Just because you can't imagine life on a planet like that doesn't mean it would be strictly impossible for it to occur.

Humans are everywhere because they didn't have the same special effects then as they do now and full costumes for all the non human but large aliens would have been expensive - realistic costumes are. Using puppets for the smaller aliens is challenging and time consuming - and thus consumes money (more days filming more you have to pay people).

Mars and Europa.

(If Mars still had the bulk of its atmosphere and was closer to the sun, and if Europa had an atmosphere, period.)

It's pretty interesting, studying exoplanets. We're finding out that a lot of planets could potentially have a single biome, depending on their distance from the sun, native water content, all sorts of things. Having a planet like Earth, smack in the middle of the habitable zone with a decent atmosphere with multiple biomes, would seem to be comparitavely rare - you're far more likely to get planets a little too close or too dry (and thus deserts), or a little too far out (and thus icy). Water planets are also very much possible. Volcanic planets like Mustafar are possible, too.

It's also really, really likely that we're going to be finding habitable bodies orbiting others! Star Wars has at LEAST two examples - Yavin and Endor are moons orbiting gas giants (presumably, for Endor - we do see a glimpse of what could be a darkish planet during the battle).

There are flaws in Star Wars' astronomy, biology, and general physics, but single biome planets aren't really one of them.
