I’m watching The Empire Strikes Back right now and, speaking of annoying things about the trilogy, why is it that Luke is more concerned about confronting Vader than rescuing his friends? What a bastard.

I’m gonna go with: “for the same reason Lucas didn’t think to put any people of color in the first movie, and didn’t do a helluva lot better with the second after people pointed it out.”

You can take the boy out of Modesto, but… well, you know.

Because Chewbacca was based on Lucas’s dog, and it never occurred to Lucas that anyone would want the dog to get a medal.

Easy. Read Lance Mannion's Star Wars analysis first. In the mythos as he defines it, Chewie is a squire, not a knight.

Funny coincidence: Denis Lawson, who played Wedge Antilles, is the uncle of Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy. And Lawson was McGregor’s inspiration for pursuing acting as a career.

You should try your hand at writing fiction, Zuzu.

Oh, they intended to, until Lucas realized the only way Carrie Fisher was going to be able to put a medal around Peter Mayhew’s neck unless she stood on a stool.

Heh.
And goodness knows we wouldn’t want to ruin the movies by having the wookie bend over to accecpt the medal, or having her hand it to him or something. It’d be a disaster.
Like having one of the Big Bads suffering a serious whooping cough, or having burp and fart jokes thrown throughout.
Oh.
Wait.

Why in the fuck doesn’t Chewbacca get one?

My brother has many faults (his idolization of Ronald Reagan being one of the biggest) but for Christmas, he gave us a burned copy of the “Star Wars” Christmas special, complete with a custom cover.

Best. Christmas. Ever.
