I do agree with you. R2D2 is the best.

In all fairness, the same thing happens with those of us who are less enlightened. It justs takes significantly longer. :stuck_out_tongue:

When she was in bounty hunter drag? Yes, exactly. :smiley:

Good, I’m glad someone did. :slight_smile:

I love Leia in the evacuation scenes on Hoth in ESB, giving orders and laying out the plans for the pilots and other station crew. Far from being “raging,” she’s confident, calm, and assured, as well as reassuring to her people. When she and Han finally leave the control center, she puts her hand on a crewman’s shoulder and tells him to get to his transport, and you can see true, tender concern coming through for the people she’s leading. I’d say, whatever you thought of her in the first movie, she’d definitely grown by the time this one started.

It’s easy to see why Han fell in love with her.

Bravo, again!

Maybe he’s the Cylon God! :eek:

Now THAT would be a magnificent ending to season 4! I could see a backlash in 99% of the fan community, but I would be in the 1% bracket!:smiley:

He did. So did the Cowardly Lion. Distant cousins, I hear.

Count me in!

The Grand Unifying Theory of Fandom? I thought it was just a myth. :slight_smile:

So wait…

Does that mean that Chewbacca needed courage? Obviously Leia is Dorothy and Threepio is the Tin Man. So is Luke the Scarecrow? Wouldn’t that mean that Han is Toto? :eek:

Hi Everybody…

Im kinda new here as you may well be able to see…but i fully intend to be a welcome member soon enough…

I just want to mention my first memories of SW. I’m told by my mom that i got to see the Ep 4. on my second birthday in Japan. Don’t remember that to well. I know we had a pirated copy on VHS that i would watch up until they released the THX VHS tapes. But my first real memory of anything Star Wars was getting a Die Cast Besbin play set from my grandpa. It was the coolest thing ever. You could but a little handcuffed HAN on a little platform push him down and then spin him around and out he came all Carbonited. You could launch Luke out a window. It was amazingly cool. also i remember going into London riding the underground to a toy store and i got to pick out one toy. I got one of those Big Radar dish guns that the rebels used on Hoth. you could push a button and it would Blow up…also that was the first day i ever had a Rolo candy which intrigued me because it was a candy bar wrapped twice.

one other quick note. My favorite character throughout the story line is R2-D2. but when i was a youngin’ i couldn’t say his name properly so i always used to call him RD2-Beep

welcome, Mr Lister! oh, yeah, SIR! :smiley:

meesa LOVE you muy muy!!! :slight_smile: thanks lady D!! and that was my favorite look for leia BEE TEE DOUBLE U :slight_smile:

Well hello fellow Floridian.

Chewbacca certainly did not need courage. However, the resemblence is curious.

And yes, Darth Vader is the Wizard (from evil to good and masked until the transition) and the Emperor is the WW of the W (the resemblence is almost as striking as that to Pope Benedict).

In sum - there are no new stories to tell. Only reworkings of old one.

LOL, no doubt. Does anyone else remember reading as a kid that Chewie had some sort of force field around him generated by his bandolier, and that’s why he didn’t get a medal? Or was that just my first-grade buddies and me wildly speculating?

I do remember reading somewhere – maybe in the comic adaptation – that “Princess Liea would give Chewbacca his reward later.” I guess they felt they needed to appeal to kids’ sense of fair play – although, looking at that comment again now, from cynical adulthood (and perhaps faulty memory), it could be construed in some awfully kinky ways…

Ewww. Okay, sorry to start off everyone’s morning in the gutter!

And the Jawa’s are the munchkins? “We are members of the droid repair guild, the droid repair guild.

Hello in return, Many happy returns on the Day

Thanks I just get into work and my mind is already down way down in the gutter…now it will never come back
