[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 3457064, member: 32164"] I just regard it as the side-effects of adventure heroes. They're all ridiculously talented. If you weren't using d20, you'd be wondering where Luke learned to shoot like that, or how to sneak around a heavily guarded fortress, or swing across a chasm with a grappling line. Or how to throw said grappling line in the first place. For that matter, Luke's a fair pilot, but he's never been in an X-Wing before. And I'd like to point out that when Luke & C-C3PO went haring after R2, Threepio was driving the landspeeder. Yes, the droid can drive. [i]Star Wars[/i] is full of stuff like this. Han and Luke know how to ride giant arctic kangaroos? Leia knows how to repair starships? Luke Skywalker - who grew up on a desert planet! - can swim? Leia and Luke are crack speeder bike pilots? Han can hot-wire security systems? Since when? By the way, did anyone ever notice that the one film in which Luke Skywalker has his own blaster pistol ([i]The Empire Strikes Back[/i]), he never fires it even once? I mean, sure, he draws it menacingly a few times... [/QUOTE]
