[P.O.E.]

Who among us hasn’t put a friend in carbonite and sold him to a crime lord that is his archenemy?

Well, just that once.

[P.O.E.]

I missed when it first showed on TV. Next day everybody was talking about it. Only until the internet was I able to finally watch it. Recommended

[Jeff Chandler]

Yeah, what a drama queen.

anything Hildago says about laccases un-shot trilogy cannot be trusted.

[fr_freak]

Greedo shot first.

In the original, Greedo didn't shoot at all. Solo greased him as a preventative measure.

It is amusing that he complains about people confusing him with his character while he himself repeatedly does as well.

[gundog]

That was before he shot John Wayne. (The source of your nickname?)

[gundog]

Good ol’ Gil.

I see that you’re still among the living.

24 years ago, I used to work with David Prowse’s brother in law, here in Colorado. He told me how Prowse and his wife’s sister would stay at their house once a year. The 57 year old coworker, a big fan of STAR WARS, had a hard time reconciling the person from the character. He’d say “Billy, it’s just surreal to see the large shadowy frame of Darth Vader crossing my hallway into my guest bathroom at 2am!”

Made me laugh through my nose!

Margaret Hamilton

So true...even when she was selling Maxwell House coffee back in the day, you half expected her to say “Drink this, my pretties!”

“I’ve never thought an actor is the character they play.”

Then you’re probably not a woke fed kid through every outlet there can be and you grew up understanding it is just a movie, not gaza.
