"According to an interview with George Lucas, the name "Gungan" came from his toddler daughter's name for big trucks on the road. Apparently, she would point and say, "Daddy, gungan?""

I'm not contributing page views to that dreck. Just tell me directly.

Haha, what the fuck? What's wrong with "female" according to them?

We have a winner. Bravo, sir/ma'am, bravo.

I want to make a Lena Dunham joke along the lines of "one is a something something, the other is Norman Reedus".

Kruger will star as Romy, a woman who accidentally kills her husband
