So I just saw TFA and was just wondering this about starkiller. How did it maintain orbit after destroying its Sun? I don't think that destroying a planets sun would be very good for it.

In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, once the Starkiller Base has depleted the star it is drawing power from, is it supposed to travel to another star where it can draw more power? Or is it non-mobile and supposed to fire a few, limited shots only? Or can it somehow reuse the star it is drawing power from, even after it has been depleted?  Its name suggests that it will "kill" or completely deplete the star it is drawing power from, but I haven't noticed an indication in the film that the Starkiller Base can travel to other stars.

In The Empire Strikes Back as Han Solo leaves to look for Luke Skywalker a rebel worker says     Your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.   Han replies     Then I'll see you in hell!   Is there a concept of heaven and hell in the Star Wars mythology? If not, to what is he referring?

Near the end of Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader has a big proposal for Luke:     "Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your   destiny! Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and   son! Come with me. It is the only way."   Is Vader really intentioned to destroy the Emperor with the help of his son, or is he just trying to lure Luke into the dark side using a proposal that might sound light-side oriented to him (destroy evil, bring back peace...)?  Of course I don't mean he is already a good guy at this point, but does he really have a personal plan against his master, to take his place and have Luke as his apprentice? Is he even showing a little bit of fatherly love? Or is it all a lie?

How is it that, per       As for Obi-Wan, he forgot all about R2-D2 and C-3PO after spending three whole movies with them    I know people might say "well, would you remember a toaster you had 20 years ago" but really these robots have a personality, and C-3PO is probably fairly unique having been hand-built by Anakin.  How many people do remember cars, computers, TVs, and so on they used and interacted with throughout their life, or even closer, pets and work animals?  I'd say most.  So, other than OB-1 being a clone, what possible in-universe reason could be given for him totally not showing any sign of remembering these droids?  (It's a teensy bit easier to believe that Darth Vader doesn't show recognition of them given him being possessed by the dark side and being so busy terrorizing the galaxy and all)

How electrically neutral do stars remain through their lifetime?  As an example, I could imagine processes such as coronal mass ejections leaving the Sun in a slightly charged state.  Are there such processes that will leave a star with overall charge?

As we all know the Death Star is spherical. I don't know if it generates gravity on its own or has a gravity generator, but that's not important. I think we have basically two scenarios:    Gravity works the same way as Earth. If you are in the lower hemisphere, you are upside down, but that's normal for you.  If that's the case, when would the gravity shift? What if you're taking an elevator, would it be same as in the Total Recall remake? Everyone has the same gravity. Same as if you were in one big house.  Now what if the trench ran in the lower hemisphere. Would the stormtroopers in the turrets be upside down?   I accept any sort of canon.

And not just any ships: battleships, super battleships and 'civilian' big ships.   From what I've read about the Star Wars Universe, given that it's science fiction, I never did understood how they could've build massive ships nor, I believe, read any preliminary explanations/details by authors.   Also, seeing some images of the fictional shipyards, they don't look impressive enough to give the idea that they could build massive [battle] ships in short periods of time. I mean, look at Kuat Drive Yards: a big ring around a planet. How many battleships, for the Republic or Galactic Empire, they could've build and how much time, as a whole for "one round" of ships, would it take?

Palpatine tossed around Senate "pods" with no problem, Yoda picked up X-wings and such, and there are many other examples of pretty impressive levitation feats. So why couldn't Sidious/Palpatine stop himself from falling to his death? Why couldn't Maul levitate himself away instead of falling to his (assumed for a while until The Clone Wars) death?  Is it a Sith thing?

OK, I understand that Obi-Wan turned into a force ghost when Vader struck him down, but why was Vader surprised by the lack of a body? It's not the transition into a force ghost but Vader's reaction that bugs me.

I don't recall this being explained in the movie, but did the Republic/Resistance have any idea the Starkiller base existed before it       Completely obliterated the Hosnian Prime system?   Did no one notice the fact that something way bigger than the Death Star was wandering around the area eating entire stars for nefarious purposes? Surely a patrol or a trade ship would have noticed something while the Starkiller was being constructed, or someone would have noticed the massive amount of supplies being obtained by the First Order to build the Starkiller that probably took a couple of years to build, and someone would have investigated.  Or was the First Order that good at playing hide and seek with an entire planet of death?

Is there any sort of magic, besides the Force, existing in the Star Wars universe?  What triggered me to ask this question were the . The Wookieepedia article refers to their powers as "magicks" and seems to present deeds unseen in other force users:     The most powerful of them could use that ichor to summon objects out of the thin air, transform people into ghostly versions of their true forms, or even reanimate the dead.   I have found  that almost alludes to the Dark Side of the Force once; however it does so without a proper citation, and only actually says "gifted with the power to wield dark magicks", avoiding the topic.

How does the  change with the age of the universe?  This question was posted recently, and I had almost finished writing an answer when the question was deleted. Since it's a shame to waste the effort here's the answer anyway.  Maybe this can be one of the canonical answers .

In the Last Jedi movie, there is a scene where      her spaceship is taken down, Princess Leia is thrown into outer space, and seen floating there, frozen.    However, she manages to survive this, while any ordinary human being couldn't.   How did she manage this? Is this done by using the Force?

So, I understand that TC doesn't exist in nature [though, I don't know why every reference I see regarding TC says that and then goes on to state that it is found in some stars...] but, if that's the case, then why is it found in some stars? Furthermore, why is this element skipped during the regular process of nucleosynthesis? And, why do some stars magically fuse technetium while others don't? Lastly, how many technetium stars have been discovered? Thanks much.    ***Just a note, I was just looking at this all again and started thinking about how Technetium is way heavier than iron, so it's not formed in regular nucleosynthesis, right? Which means the TC is left over from supernovae explosions, right? So, if that's the case, why is it not produced naturally? What is natures aversion to this element?

In The Force Awakens, we see the First Order using a new superweapon -- Starkiller Base -- to siphon up the power of stars and use it to destroy multiple planets within that same solar system at a time.   The superweapon portion of this resembles a large Death Star trench, but the rest of the weapon is clearly an icy planet, complete with life (trees, at the very least, and a breathable atmosphere).  So, going by the logic that this has to have been a superweapon using a planet as the base structure, is there any canon evidence (perhaps in the blueprint in the movie or in the novelization) as to which planet it was?

The default answer among most people to my previous  seems to be that Obi-Wan was referring to becoming a force ghost. Now whilst this seems pretty cool, you are now hindered into well Kyle Jones says it best     Force Immortality seems like a bust to me. Obi-Wan could get around the galaxy without a starship, true, but the fine print of the immortality contract restricted him to visiting only a few close friends. Seems like being alive with a good galactic cellphone plan would be an all-around better deal. And of course there were the women... – Kyle Jones    So what gives? Are you inherently more powerful as a force ghost?

How does Luke do this towards the end of the "Last Jedi"? (Some viewers are calling it a "parlor trick" online, and I think it's an apt expression.)      We see Luke coming to the last Resistance holdout in Crait, talking to Leia, putting the gold charms from the Falcon in her hand, and then going out to face the First Order alone. He survives a massive barrage of firepower, and then faces Kylo Ren face to face, deftly avoiding Kylo's strikes. While he takes on Kylo Ren and the First Order, the Resistance is able to escape.   But at the end of this, we see that:      It's a projection. The real Luke is still on Ahch-To, and he's projecting a "hologram" of himself across the universe.   And after it disappears, we see:      The real Luke coming out of meditation, sweaty and panting on Ahch-To (from the effort in projecting his hologram across the universe, I'm guessing), and falling off his levitation and meditation rock in pain.  He later wakes up, sees the two suns (similar to his first introduction scene over 30 years ago in "A New Hope") and then literally just disappears (like Yoda did at his death in "Return of the Jedi".)   How did he do this? And did he do it this way (as opposed to facing the First Order and Kylo Ren directly) so that he could inspire hope among a new generation of Resistance fighters and Jedi? Towards the very end of the movie, we see:      On Canto Bight, a bunch of kids are telling each other stories of how the amazing Jedi Master Luke Skywalker took on and survived the firepower of an entire army of the First Order (while allowing the Resistance to escape.) The story inspires the kids, and the film ends with one of the kids stepping outside the room, using the Force to move a broom into his hand, looking out into space and seeing a spaceship speed across the stars, eyes bright with hope.
