about shutting up ...
no, we should not shut up.
if anyone gets more than a million dollars and more than one assistant to make a movie today - they better get their inaccuracies straightened out.
there is no excuse for that - not if you have so many people holding your little hand for you.
by the way, the scene in revenge of the sith where the jedi's pilot "half the ship" back into the upper atmosphere of coruscant - where it starts to heat up and burn - that is nonsense.
the ship wasn't moving at orbital velocity around the planet - it was just flying high above it. things dont burn up in the atmosphere of a planet because it falls too fast. if that was true, then every free falling parachute jumper would have a nice glowing tail following them to the ground.
an object only burns up when it HITS the upper layers of a planet's atmosphere after it had been traveling through space at orbital or escape velocity (more than 2 - 3 times the speed of sound).
like hitting water after diving off a diving board and it burns your skin. it cant happen if you dive down from drifting on the surface.
