and i mean…she just had her whole planet and pretty much everyone she knew blown to bits…i mean, i’d be a little cranky and try to distance myself from forming attachments???
more random (mostly) useless craaap floating through my brain
That’s OK - at least you’re not a Phillistine like some other unnamed contributors.
i definately look at other women’s boobs with admiration and compare them to mine…sometimes i’m left feeling mine are inadequate but sometimes i think they are nice…it took a long time to get comfy in my own skin but i’m surprised to learn about the “sorry barbs” (my friend finally explained that it’s asses that barb has the problem with hee hee) i think i have a great sorry barb for a almost forty chick!! 
well some guys are into that!!! eep!!
Why is it the C3POs “Help me I melting” line works well, yet the Chewie Tarzan yell in ROTJ (and ROTS) is so annoying?
because 3PO is not melting because someone threw water on him in a deliberate call-back to the Wizard of Oz, or anything else I can think of, but there is no other way to describe what Chewie does than as a “Tarzan yell” (the Indy 4 bit in the jungle elicited a similar response)
it’s almost as bad as if 3PO had put his hands on his hips and said, “Whatchoo talkin’ 'bout, Master Luke?”
Now see…I think that would be awesome. Especially if Jar Jar responded, “Welcome to Fantasy Island” in a Ricardo-tone
Ah, that bit.
Chaucer’s reference is a bit earthier.
I do always imagine that rebel sentry watching the Millenium Falcon land at the rebel base yelling, “The plane, the plane!”
I always thought of him as a traffic cop running a radar detector. I half expected Han to land and then get a ticket…which i’m sure he had to pay in order to get his medal
I don’t think he got the gold plating until after he left the moisture farm (i.e. on Coruscant between Eps 2 and 3), so it could be thought that he wouldn’t necessarily recall. Though the name part is unclear, that might just be a gaffe.
Yes he got gold plated between the last two movies. They show him getting his upgrade in old Cartoon Network Clone Wars. As for the name thing it as probably close to 20 years since he last saw him. Also C-3P0 could just as well be his model number. There could be more.
i thought that droid on bespin kinda put the kabosh on the model number theory and each of the protocol droids we’ve seen have had unique voices and number names and since anakin BUILT 3po from scratch, would he have a model number? and threepio was with shmee for ten years at least so how long was shmee with the lars family??
I kind of thought that 3PO was like they were saying on the Podcast a sort of Kit Built droid. I think Anakin may have spruced him up some but his shell and what not was not totally unique. From what i remember and i could be very wrong but there are similar models in the EU .
As for his name its still just a bunch of numers and letters much like a License Plate. most people do not remember their plates from 20 years ago. so im giving Owen a pass on that one.
i’d give him a pass if i knew how long threepio worked for him…my argument is that threepio is not a machine…he’s a personality and like a person…if my car talked to me, i would remember it’s license number for sure lol like going to my twenty year reunion, there were lots of names thrown at me that as soon as i heard them, i remembered who they were…and even if the droids were replaced every year that’s still only 40 or so names to remember in a 20 year period?? they weren’t rich farmers so i am being generous with that number and them being able to afford new droids…
I always figured that 3P0 went with Anakins mom and I don’t remember how long that was before episode 2 i know Watto mentioned it. But you also have to remember that in the Star Wars world most people don’t think of Droids as anything but tools. In some places they are not even allowed in like the bar on Tatooine. I never saw Owen as the sentimental type. He was just a sand of the earth farmer type. He kept it simple.
It is rather odd to think about but I would have loved it if George could have figured out a way to get Mara Jade into the special edition of ROTJ. Of course only those familiar with the EU would have known she’s an Imperial since she would have been undercover but I would have been thrilled simply because she’s my favorite character in the entire SW universe.
Since we are talking about name recognition Mara Jade sounds familiar. I read some EU books but I can not remember. :o Please help.
She was one of the Emperors top secret assassins. The left hand of the emperor if i remember correctly. During the Thrawn trilogy she was determined to hunt down and kill Luke for destroying her master. As things go she eventually turned good and married Luke. She also becomes an incredibly powerful Jedi almost on par with Luke.
That sounds familiar. Thank you for the refresher course.
