    Seriously?

    To answer your questions, he's a character from Star Wars... Predecessor to Darth Vader, the apprentice to the Emperor (Senator) Palpatine aka Darth Sidious

    Empire Strikes Back was a good one.
    By the way, anyone remember the name of David Hedison's cat in the Vincent Price movie, The Fly?
    Poor thing got scrambled into space when Andre (Hedison) tested his transporter.

    MEOWWWWW

    There were 2 trilogies and the 1st of the 3rd trilogy hits theaters this Dec. You realize you're in the minority of people on this planet for never having watched Star Wars. I'm stunned that you could be so out of touch....wait, never mind, lol!

    And believe me Tom I'm a pretty big Sci-fy guy. Was a big fan of the original star trek. I remember the original star wars, I watched about an hour of it before I left the theater, I just couldn't get into it. Hell maybe I was just tired. Maybe someday I 'll give it another look.

    It's a pretty big part of the cultural lexicon. Regarding the 2 trilogies, Empire Strikes Back is the best of the original series. Revenge of the Sith, is the best of the prequels.

    I preferred Return of the Jedi, but loved Empire Strikes back... it was the first I saw in the theater (5 out of the 6)... only one I didn't see (A New Hope) came out before I was born... so....

    Jabba the Hut made his appearance in Return of the Jedi......
    ...hilarious scene in the intergalactic "night club" where a rat is scooting past him and he scoops it up and swallows it as if it's routine snack.

    NTM- "Star Wars" has been publishing Comic Books of many various other stories, for the better part of 30 years........


    1st time I ever laid eyes on a F-117A, lacking only its Wings, I swore I was looking at something out of Star Wars........back then such was true, now, nothing surprises me....

    Sci-Fi has long inspired dreams turned into realities, ie, Jules Verne, (without the Launch Cannon)........100 yrs prior, Verne wrote a shit load of information, in which Apollo Program Engineer's, found to be eerily on the mark. I have no problem lumping George Lucas with Jules Verne......!!!

    Sorry Steve I thought post #16 was in response to post #26 who was responding to post #5 in regards to post #12 answering to post #22 who was responding to post #17.

    But I could be mistaken.
