*shrugs* I think everyone has varying levels of appreciation and knowledge of historical figures (real or fictional). Some people just think they look cool, others have deep knowledge of the character and associate a lot of meaning to it.

It is how we are. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, and if some…

I'm sorry, but I honestly have no idea what your point is.

Why do you think it is weird that people still idealize, support, and remember iconic figures from our history, fictional or otherwise?

To clarify.

"You told me that I should rewatch the film (assuming that the only reason I have the opinion that I do is because I am not as familiar with the movie as you are) and told me about other scenes assuming that I was unfamiliar with the movie (and you want to accuss to me about being condescending when you came to me…

Just because the scene is problematic for you, doesn't mean it is for everyone. Simply stating that as some kind of fact, doesn't make it true. Based on this comment section alone it seems obvious that people view the scene in many different ways.

First. Leia did a lot after the encounter with Jabba. You don't recall her leading a rebel mission to Endor? Chasing down biker scouts? Fighting in the battle?

No, the costume doesn't make her strong. She is strong regardless of the costume. That is the point. Coo ya maya stupa!

With all due respect (I'm kidding, I don't respect people who try to win arguments by using terms like "manspaining"), you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Leia was always a strong character, before, during, and after being captured by Jabba. The fact that you completely ignore the fact that a few…

Lets be honest here. Jabba was a bastard. There is a reason he was known as one of the most vile gangsters in the galaxy. It is fairly easy to assume that he had "sex slaves" in the sense that he probably subjected many creatures to terrible things for his amusement. All of this was to set him up as someone who we all…

Droids don't really have free will. C3P0 is always nagging R2 because he's not listening to his master. R2, for whatever reason is seemingly the only astromech droid in the galaxy that can "think." He kinda walks that line between taking orders and not taking orders, when he thinks it's best. Either way, R2 is never…

Are you just as appalled that the other actors probably don't either? Also, not to sound condescending, but do you really wonder that? Do you really think that Carrie Fisher isn't intelligent enough to help her kids understand she is an actor that played a character that became very popular over multiple generations?

I…

Well written.

I only disagree with you on one small point. Most action figure lines try to stagger the release of new figures a bit. I remember back in 1997 or something where the collector community was so tired of all the Luke variations out there. When I worked at the hobby store, there were so many Luke figures…

R2 and 3P0 infiltrated Jabba's palace as part of the plan to save Han. Yes, they "tricked" 3P0 because he is way to wound up to knowingly go forward with such a plan without screwing it up. Remember how R2 was carrying Lukes lightsaber? He was there as a part of the plan, not as a captured slave.

Regardless, they are…

Not really. Not only is Indy's whip an inanimate object, but he only really uses it a few times to get out of situations.

R2 on the other hand. If you watch the series, he is the one who pretty much saves everyone, all the time. Trust me, go and watch all the movies and you'll notice that in most scenes where the…

That is the only reason that you can think of that women would wear this iconic outfit? It seems a little odd to assume that all of these cosplayers are so desperate for attention that they choose to wear this outfit. I can think of a few other reasons why they might be choosing to wear this.

Except, she did do something about it. She killed Jabba and helped take out a huge percentage of his gang.

Actually, R2-D2 is. Nothing would have worked if it weren't for that little droid.

I suggest you rent Return of the Jedi this weekend. You will encounter Leia attempting to rescue Han Solo from carbonite. You will see her killing one of the most dangerous gangsters in the galaxy with a chain. You'll see her in command of a Rebel mission to Endor. You'll see her and Luke chase down biker scouts, and…

I used to collect them as well, and I worked at a hobby store that specialized in Star Wars merch, so I know a bit about how this works. It is pretty obvious to anyone who has ever collected toys why this situation happened, but I'll explain.

Don't worry Donkay, it's just a maaaaask!
