Star Wars is a dust free environment

Just sat through most of the second episode of Star Wars - the one where the clone war starts at the end.

The main characters land on some sort of desert planet (don't ask me to name it - I am not some sort of Star Wars geek.) The landing of the spaceship throws up no dust at all. None.

Then the scene cuts to people walking down the street, speeders speeding down the street, wierd taxis pulled by odd looking animals etc - and none of them kick up any dust either.

I've worked in a few dry areas, and the one constant is the dust. The dust that gets up your nose, in your eyes, in your lungs, into everything. There's the crust that forms on your eyelids each morning when you wake up. There's the awful taste in your mouth. There's the crap that you are constantly blowing out of your nose - big chunks of dried snot and dust merged into sharp, rock hard lumps.

Every movement of every thing throws up dust. Walking people. Moving animals. Vehicles. The wind. Trees moving in the wind that scrape along the ground.

Evidently, in the future, dust is not a problem anymore.

Mr Sheen will be put out of business. Sell Mr Sheen shares now.
