I mean, it should've been Wedge.

If he hadn't, Luke would of had to kill him sooner or later. I mean, the leader of the new Jedi Order having stories coming out in the tabloids about the parties and drug use back in high school? Very messy.jedi smiley.gif

DeeChizzle · 01-27-2008, 11:09 PM

Wasn't it revealed later that Wedge was force sensitive explaining why he was pretty good at not getting whacked by a Tie Fighter throughout the original trilogy?

Haha, the stories of his childhood...Luke as a pubescent teenager.

Correct, that little scene was not in the 77 version.

No man... if you slow down and do frame-by-frame, there's a floating Dunkin' Donuts orbiting just off the Death Star.

Biggs had an RAF style moustache... He was bound to cop it. American Film

"Can't fix the car? You're forgetting all those years I spent as a chief mechanic down at Biggs' Body Shop--Why, you should've seen the garage workshop ol' man Biggs built for me, just to tinker around in...Biggs' Tinker McGee, they used to call me in those days!

Biggs' Tinker McGee, brawny and brainy Bonaparte of benzine buggy blacksmiths, busy as a beaver and bright as a beacon at boltin' bumper brackets on bus bodies, boosted as the best boss in the business at boring bronze bearings and bolt boilers, bringing back the bacon as the big boss of the brakes, bumblebee of the brace and bit and bullfrog of the bicycle-bell barons, breezy and brilliant bozo for bright-eyed boys to copy, <exhale>, and now excuse me while I go out to work on that jalopy..."

Am I the only one who thought of Final Fantasy first?

Ispoke · 01-28-2008, 12:14 PM

I thought he meant Ronald Biggs, the Great Train Robber

How would he land on the Death Star? He's in space... and remember what Newton taught us! An object that is in motion stays in motion until an outside force acts upon it. With no gravity I would assume he would hit that dunkin donuts that was brought up. But then again... the Death Star is huge... it might have enough of a gravitational pull to bring him down.. I'd have to know more about it really but I'm gonna guess that he'd just go afloat.

Wow, I'm a nerd.

Did I mention the Dunkin' Donuts has a tractor beam?
