In A New Hope, C-3PO introduces himself to Luke: THREEPIO: I see, sir. LUKE: Uh, you can call me Luke. THREEPIO: I see, sir Luke. LUKE: (laughing) Just Luke. THREEPIO: And I am See-Threepio, human-cyborg relations, and this is my counterpart, Artoo-Detoo. (Source: https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-...

I'm trying to find a story from the 40s or 50s, where a futuristic device was delivered to the protagonist's apartment (by a tech from the future). The protagonist tries to figure out the device, and eventually figures out that it's a sort of mind control device, designed to ensure that every cit...

The life-action short film (probably less than 30 minutes) starts with a scene where a kid falls (near a tree, I think), and his mother finds him (I think the kid passed out due to the fall). The kid grows up to become a space explorer with the task of finding life somewhere in the universe. I be...

We are told in a Deathly Hallows flashback (actually a telepathic vision of a mind reading of a flashback...) that Grindlewald stole the Elder Wand from Gregorovich, shooting a spell at him as he escaped. How does this count as "defeating" Gregorovich? He didn't take it from him by force, as Ha...

I think the show was on Hulu and it had really short episodes. It was about this brother and sister (I think one was blue and one was a pinkish-red) and they didn’t talk. They physically fought all the time. They didn’t have legs, they had springs for legs. I feel like I remember there being some...

Harry sees a vision of Voldemort tormenting Sirius in the Dept. of Mysteries. This leads him to rush off to try and save him, and when his friends are unable to dissuade him from going, they insist on going too. If Harry's vision was correct, he would have ended up confronting Voldemort in the My...

I am looking for a short story were there is an alien civilization that has been living underground for millenia since the surface froze. A minor but very specific detail I remember is they point out the number of milliseconds it takes for light to travel across their cavern, making it hundreds ...

I was recently examining some old photos when I cam across three pictures in the background of which some movie is going on. So can anyone help me in identifying this movie. My first assumptions were The Transformers:The Last Knight and Rogue one sue to the satellite but none of them have a sc...

Sort of a follow-up question to Why did the Council of Elrond debate hiding or sending the Ring away, if Sauron wins eventually in that scenario? If Sauron wins eventually even without finding the Ring, then it seems the situation was already critical by the time Frodo brought the Ring to Rivende...

I don't remember if this is a short story or a cartoon. It would be mid-90s or older. A man has clocks all over his house, and he keeps trying to synchronise them by checking the time on one clock, then going to the next room and changing the time on the next clock to be the same as the first cl...

Where did the meaning "To remove a clone from its chamber, vat, or artificial womb" (wiktionary) for the word decant originate? The wiktionary entry does not cite an usage and the OED entry it references only contains other (related) meanings. I noticed this use in the Foundation TV Series but fr...

I have this memory of a scene I have seen somewhere, and over the years have been completely unable to figure out where this is from. There is a woman and man, who are romantically involved, and fight together in some sort of conflict (probably scifi-related). At some point near the end of the st...

I'm not sure if this question has been asked before, but here we go. As everyone knows, in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983), Princess Leia, disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh infiltrates Jabba's palace under the pretense of collecting the bounty on Chewbacca but her real plan ...

This must be the easiest question for Trekkies … but I just can’t find it with google search. They find a moon or astroid with dead people on it but one just arrived through a portal or a transporter and is still alive.

Gambit has the power of charging objects with kinetic energy, making them explode. He mostly uses that power to charge play cards and throw them at opponents, on which they explode with the power of a hand grenade. Many X-Men have superpowers to create blast effects or fire energy blasts that cau...

I read a few chapters before but I have completely forgotten the name of it. I remember it was one where a noble child(girl(brown hair)) attends the crown prince and crown princess playdate. like some sort of social gathering. I think there was also other children from other noble families and tw...

they say its like this “It's a dystopian fiction about this orphan traveling from place to place and they're not in a tribe because those exist. Eventually they get swept up by this medical organization and are forced to live with them even though they don't want to. But eventually they warm up t...
