LuvsGurl Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 *sighs* Those aren't diapers. The two characters are floating in "bacta tanks" from the Star Wars universe. Like Luke was put in on Hoth after he was attacked by the Wampa. Link to comment

Newroad Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Gotta be diapers.. wouldn't want the stray brown trout escaping Link to comment
LuvsGurl Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It was never described as a diaper by Lucas or anyone else officially associated with the SW franchise. It is said to be a "protective garment" for medical patients. Certainly could be a type of diaper I suppose. If I remember correctly, individuals in the bacta tanks were supposed to be nude, but that would not be allowed in a PG rated movie, so they came up with that garment instead. Link to comment
Protection Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 is it just me, or does this look like a Penny Arcade knock-off? 1 Link to comment
babybeowulf Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I think its a guest comic. The penny arcade artist has been very sick recently with the flu Oh, and its totally a diaper! Link to comment
ranger Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I can remember thinking to myself that it looked like Luke was wearing a diaper. That was way before I realized I was a DL. Whoa! That explains a lot, now that I think about it Link to comment
ranger Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Why would diapers be submerged under water? WARNING!!! STAR WARS GEEK ALERT!!! Bacta is a gel. From Wookieepedia: Bacta was a synthetic chemical substance that consisted of gelatinous, translucent red alazhi and kavam bacterial particles that were mixed within a colorless, viscous fluid known as ambori. When a patient was exposed to bacta, the bacterial particles within sought out wounds and promoted rapid tissue regeneration while preventing the emergence of scar tissue. Bacta was often thought of as a "miracle fluid", and seemed to be effective against almost every type of injury and ailment across an incredible cross-section of species throughout the galaxy.

Yep, no matter how many times I watch star wars,when he's in the bacta tank it looks like a diaper. There's a joke/rumor circulating through star wars fans that it actually is a diaper. Wish I had the credits to buy a bacta tank in star wars galaxies. Costs over 200 million, very expensive rare ingame item. Link to comment
dmavn Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Bacta was also fairly expensive if i recall, and wasn't a use once throw away type of thing. Well, I guess it would be if naked patients were wetting and messing in the tanks.. I think some submersion's supposedly took hours. Link to comment
