19. Lando is my hero
Yes, I voted for Lando.

How can you not love a character who is a pure, unashamed skirt hustler like Lando?

"That's right, baby. I run this whole operation. Lightsaber? Naw, babe, it's a heavy saber."

:evilgrin:

27. You so have to be kidding me!!!
I see Billy Dee Williams and 2 thoughts come to mind:

First, those cheesy Colt45 commericials that he was the spokesperson for during the 1980's. That's the only reason he has the reputation of being a "unashamed skirt hustler" because that's how he was during those commericials.

Second would be "The Nutty Professor" and Eddie Murphy fixed up to look like an aging overweight housewife who clapped her hands and said "Billy Dee Billy Dee Billy Dee"

3. Yoda!!!
:bounce:

After Yoda, I'd say Chewbacca. Jango & Boba Fett were pretty badass, but they both died like wusses.

15. jango fett died like a wuss ???
he was decapitated in a rather swift shot by whatsisname played by samuel l jackson ~ sounds sick but i liked it and led to very poignant moment when young boba fett picks up his dads..well his head essentially but showed just why boba hates jedi and became the merciless killer he was....(suprised the uk didnt cut it like they did the jango headbutt on obi wan)

8. Being named Joby, Obie was a bit of a pain
I had to endure a lot of "Joby won Kenobi" lines.

9. I just love R2D2
And am pleased that they continue to feature him in the latest series of films, even though they aren't nearly as good as the originals.:-)

32. I guess I liked him because he was kind of cute,
like a pet. I'm sure that's what we were supposed to feel; these things are well-researched. I had the opportunity to buy an R2D2 cookie jar when I worked in a store years ago. I was around it every day and always regret I didn't get it. It would be a real keepsake by now.:-(

10. Boba Motherfucking Fett!
Luke's a sister-kissin' punk! It's all about the Fett baby!

Hehe. That reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from Buffy season six, where Spike threatens to tear the head off the Legion of Dim's Boba Fett action figure...I lurve me some Spike but he went way too far that time. ;)

Blasphemy!!


BTW, this trite and pointless post is my first. I'm pretty recognizable from the Mike Malloy forums as my real name, Dave Ward. Greetings, all! :)

26. Porkins got blown up in ep 4
Edited on Thu Jul-17-03 02:01 PM by Cush
during the attack on the first Death Star.

http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/jekredsixporkins/

"Lieutenant Porkins bore the com-designation Red Six during the Battle of Yavin....... a mechanical malfunction hampered his ability to dodge enemy fire. His fighter was hit by the Imperial weapons emplacement, bursting into fiery fragments, and killing Porkins immediately."

18. Speak not that name...**shudder**
Yoda is my favorite, but in his green froggy puppet days. This newfangled digital crap ruins the whole character!

By the way, Darth...that smiper kitten rocks!

29. Kenny.
That scene from the first movie, where Gold Leader is trying to line up his shot on the exhaust port, and Vader comes down and shoots Kenny's wingman, leaving only Kenny protecting Gold Leader. Then Vader starts lining up Kenny, and Kenny's like "mmmrmrm mrphmr mmmm!" and then Boom bang booom! Kennys ship is hit and it bounces down the canyon walls and Luke is like "Omigod! They killed Kenny!"

That scene gets my tear ducts working everytime.

Jar-Jar destroyed them all in a matter/antimatter reaction.

Otherwise: Porkins.
