I had this one as a forum signature about ten years ago.

There is so much fan art ALREADY out there it was actually pretty hard to pick one :(

They should have just used a CGI Kenny Baker

I equate that with the postage stamp argument. I forget which comedian I first heard it from about 20 years ago, although it sounds like a Louis C. K. bit, but I think it was well before him.

Unpopular opinion: Flying is actually an incredible value given that the above-mentioned flying greyhound bus can put you anywhere in the country in a handful of hours and just about anywhere in the world in less than a day. Obviously it would be nice if it were cheaper and more comfortable, but still.

In the TFA novelization Snoke tells Ben that Vader’s greatest failing was sentiment. This could be in regards to him getting over his indecision, killing Han and moving forward with his ‘destiny’ but it could also suggest that he’s shown restraint before.

They are not a novelty for those with MS and other diseases that prevent bending over to lace shoes.

Maybe the Empire, like many large organizations, stores their data largely in bulky outdated formats. The US military still uses floppy disks for much of their nuclear hardware, and the university I work at still uses tape backups. It is expensive and poses a security hole to upgrade.

Maybe, because physical storage size wasn’t an issue with wherever they steal the plans from, they were in an uncompressed, raw format, and it was easier to rip the drive out of the bay than try to extract digitally? For ease in transporting them across the galaxy, the Rebellion, when they have more time and resources…

Your change belongs in the tip jar at the counter, in the take one leave tray, or given to the first homeless person you see. Not in your pocket.

Actually, yes. Whenever I wear a suit I always say keep the change. If you want to add to the art of manliness you only take full bills with you the 37 cents in change can be left on the table with whatever 15-20% tip you leave behind.*
