Chewbacca's existence in the prequel (singular) was the only one that made sense. It explained why, later, he was talking with Obi-Wan in the bar before they even met Han. It explains why he didn't get a medal after they blew up the Death Star. The existence of C-3PO is the one that doesn't make sense. That's quite a coincidence that Darth Vader is the person who built him (and on Tattooine; another coincidence!) Cool thing is, in all of the original movies, C-3PO and Darth never saw each other.
The same reason why the Chinese haven't dropped their picture-based alphabet in favor of a phonetic-based alphabet like every other country uses. Culture and tradition. I never heard that about metres vs. meters; it makes sense. Also, a 'kilometre' is not a device that measures kilos, so it does not rhyme with 'thermometer' and 'altimeter'. A kilometre is a unit of distance, so it rhymes with 'centimetre' and 'millimetre'.
Instead of packing people in vertically, why not do it horizontally? Replace all of the seats with bunkbed-cots so we can just sleep through long flights.
A little more detail from the French: - We know milk exists because boobs. - The only place where Vader can remove his helmet is in his special room. That must be where he eats. - But when he's away from there, on an extended mission, he carries cheese, which he rubs against his helmet's built-in grater.
Exactly how I felt after seeing The Life Aquatic. Was it supposed to be a comedy? I didn't laugh once. Did I miss all of the jokes? All of the characters were unrealistic, acting and talking the way nobody does in real life. But Grand Budapest Hotel was hilarious.
That golfer isn't Asian squatting; there's too much gap between her booty and ankles, plus her thighs are parallel to the ground. In a proper squat, the knees are the highest point of the legs. My squattability came from being constantly hunched over Legos for the first 12 years of my life. (Side note: spellcheck didn't underline 'squattability', so I guess it really IS a word.)

(I like how the cop noted that the guy leaned over first!)
