“Rey’s parents are not in Episode 7... just *a* parent.”

I’ve asked myself several times and this really just peaks my interest: why did all the battle droids ever depicted make pained or emotionally charged noises when getting shot/blown up/cut in half by a lightsaber? i just chalked it up to story telling and adding substance to the battle, but now that they’re getting a…

“Hm, that’s an interesting headli— oh, it’s just a link to a video.”

Thank you for having done what Casey Chan, who’s job appears to be browsing YouTube, was too lazy to do.

Star Wars - Storm Trooper “bonks” their head.

Talk about putting the cart before the horses!

I was just wondering the same thing. Cameron and Ridley Scott must be on the same drugs.

What’s the movie equivalent of vaporware?

I can’t tell you just how disappointed I was to learn that death sticks were not in fact spice joints. :(

Who’s bright idea was it to design battle droids with a fear of death?

Threepio thinks of himself as more of a House Droid.

I feel like Threepio probably chose to remain in service to Leia after ANH since he’s safer with the command of the rebellion than he would be on the front lines with Luke. And I think legally, they’d probably consider R2 Luke’s property.

Just a theory, but Threepio did claim to have been the property of Bail Organa in ANH. From there, he was purchased by Owen Lars and inherited by Luke. Regardless of whether that transaction was legal or not, he is likely now the property of Leia (or at least on loan to her from Luke). R2-D2 may be a free citizen…
