Heh heh. No.
Funny true story: Harrison Ford sat down in the cockpit of the Millenuim
Falcon for the first time and said "Hey! This is great! Now, uh, how do I fly
this?" and all Lucas basically said "uh, you push the buttons and flip the
levers and stuff." Lucas doesn't spend a whole lot of time thinking about what
these things actually do. I assumed they were some kind of force field, but
why they would create those little divisions that you could apparently stand in
unharmed is beyond me. I think someone once described it as a security measure
to keep people from getting to the big pit generator thing easily, but since we
really have no idea what that did either, I just don't know, and to be honest I
can't remember if that was speculation or an official explaination or what.
But I do know that according to Lucas, touching them would be detrimental to
your health.

I dunno. Why was an otherwise solidly-built palace sitting on top of what
could best be described as a Jedi Lightsaber Duel Playground? What was any of
that doing about anything? Seemed a bit much just to power the palace to me,
and if it was "harnessing geothermal energy" or something, why build a palace
on top of a power substation?
Eh.
