Never mind that, where the heck does the X-wing ladder go when you’re not parked in a hangar? In the cut sandstorm footage from ROTJ, Luke basically chucks it on the ground before taking off.

It wouldn’t surprise me if there was already an in universe explanation for this, and I want to hear it. I could use a good laugh.

I know the Sequel Trilogy X-wings have a slot for what could conceivably be a telescoping ladder.

But as for the OT X-wings, who knows.

I secretly hope it’s some sort of matter generator that is only used to generate single use ladders that they litter the universe with.

Just like Star Wars in general these days, I don’t care about this discussion.

^Ass.

^Temp-ban for you.

The accurate medical term is dissociative identity disorder, thank you very much. Schizophrenia’s what you have when you hear the voice of Col. Sanders screaming at you to murder your neighbour’s lawn gnomes.

Dear Penthouse,

But that’s far away.

Why is this a big deal?

No idea, because it isn’t. But apparently I was raging (?) and needed to be put right about the facts or something. * shrug *

How rad would it have been if they had cast Christopher Lee in the movies? What if they gave him a character with an interesting backstory and not use him? Give him ten minutes of screentime. All he does is stand, walk around, or flip around. That sounds rad. That’s a character I can get behind. Someone who’s only tangentially related to the plot or any of the main characters. That sounds awesome.

Christopher Lee didn’t deserve what he got.

I missed the part where anyone said you were raging.

Everyone involved in the prequels other than George didn’t deserve what they got.

Logic, the enemy of rage.

Ah that guy’s an idiot, pay him no mind.

Funny thing though, I read back through everyone else’s posts but skipped mine since I knew I wasn’t the one who said anything like that.

I’ll amend it to say it applies in many situations on this site. Not this particular one however.

And imagine if Dooku had remained a rogue Jedi who really was fighting to dislodge Sidious from power. So much could’ve been done with such a character. But nope, secret Sith apprentice. Yawn.

Yeah, I think Dooku being in cahoots with Sidious completely killed his character beyond repair.
