      That was ESB, though.  I'm suggesting that he changed his mind   
   about the "droids are immune to blasters" thing after the first movie.   
      
      
   Problem is, he changes his mind about a LOT of things.  And messes up what   
   came before in the process a lot of times ("......What I said IS true...from   
   a certain point of view......").   
      
      
   In any real world, droids don't go from being immune in one moment, to NOT   
   being immune in a LATER moment (if ANYTHING, I would think they would have   
   MORE immunity from blaster fire later on as technology advances).  Besides,   
   I really don't think Lucas thought about everything to the point where he   
   said, (ANH) "3PO and R2 don't get damaged by weapons fire that's passing by   
   them so close that it's INEVITABLE some of it must hit them, because they   
   are immune to blaster fire"  (EMPIRE) "I've changed my mind.  Droids ARE   
   able to be 'injured' by blaster fire AFTER all".  I doubt he thought every   
   little tiny aspect out in that much detail.   
      
      
   It has just always driven me up a wall that blaster fire is whizzing so   
   close to them constantly, while they are slowly moving across an open hall   
   saturated with hostile fire from both sides, yet they make it across in   
   perfect safety, unharmed & untouched in any way, as if they were crossing   
   any empty hallway casually, yet the same blaster fire that misses them in   
   every instance takes out rebel and Imp alike, though much of it passes   
   inches from them (3PO & R2-and since they are MOVING, they are actually much   
   MORE likely to get hit, then if they had just stayed off on the side and hid   
   themselves).
