"The things that stick in my mind and make me laugh were, like, memos worried about whether or not the Wookie should have pants. They're looking at this thing and saying, "Couldn't he have some lederhosen?" This is great. Of all the things to worry about, the Wookie has no pants." -Mark Hamill

1. Writer. That man can't direct worth sh*t.
2. Alec. Ewan just happens to be the ONLY likable character from the PT.
3. What kind of stupid question is that?
4. Hairbuns. Those are a cultural icon.
5. Yavin. It was ahead of it's time and still is.
6. They both sucked.
7. Padme. I was so looking forward to how she was gonna die and then Lucas has to go and f*ck it up.
8. The "how are you?" thing still gets me to this day.
9. Oh man. I don't know. They both rock pretty hard. But I might give the edge to Empire.
10. Imperial March. Duel of Fates is more really Star Wars pop music.

1. Which is the lesser of two evils? I'll go director.
2. Guinness (and not just because I like his beer)
3. No question. Puppet
4. Definitely the bikini.
5. Tough Call. I'm going to go against the grain and say Endor.
6. Hayden, but only because Jake was cmpletely unnecessary.
7. Padme. Fett might have died like a punk, but he wasn't a central character.
8. "How are you?" That line cracks me up every time.
9. Jedi. I love the emotion that comes forth in that battle.
10. The March, baby.

>1. The director, just cause he builds his stories only with the image (which is more appropriate to a director IMO)
>2. Alec, of course. But I really love the new "Obi-Wan McGregor", I think it's just the best character of the PT.
>3. Pupett. But I also like the CGI, which can let Yoda doing other things than talking, and being filmed only at the bust.
>4. Leia's hairbuns is not just a trademark, but a real "icon" of sci-fi. But, yes, the metal bikini is pretty hot.
>5. Battle of Yavin.
>6. Hayden.
>7. Padmé's death is really too "weird". Boba's is just sudden.
>8. "I know"!
>9. Empire's one is really great and doesn't have to be ashamed by PT duels.
>10. Imperial March, with no doubt!

1. GARY KURTZ - The ONLY producer to NOT kiss Luc-a$$'s ass.
2. Bernard "Bunny" Behrens (from the NPR Trilogy Adaptations)
3. MUPPET Yoda (of course)
4. Need you really ask?
5. Yavin (Endor looked like a rush job - BAD SPFX)
6. The Kid that they showed on Disc 2 of the TPM DVD that DIDN'T get chosen
7. Anakin Solo in Destiny's Way (done at Luc-a$$'s request so NEW fans wouldn't get confused between Anakins Solo & Skywalker)
8. Shooting the swordsman in Raiders!
9. Jedi (I hate to admit it, but that duel is what the OT is ALL about)
10. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

Was that really the reason Anakin Solo was killed off?! Damn! And, yes, I really do need ask your answer to number four.

Yes, that was really the reason that Anakin Solo was killed off.

Since you must ask about my answer to number 4...
...Being that I'm a red-blooded, heterosexual American male, I'd have to say that the metal bikini is the stuff that (wet) dreams are made of.

Although, I love the ceremonial gown at the end of ANH

If that's the choice, I'd have to go with Lucas the EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.

I'm sure everybody here agrees that as far as the film mkaing process is concerned, TESB is the BEST movie of the saga, and it's the one with the LEAST amount of hands on work by Lucas

Lucas the storyteller should have really been a choice for option 1. Lucas is an INCREDIBLE storyteller.

Yep. He certainly is good at fooling people. Remember the story he told about how he had a grand vision for the prequels? Yeah. That was great fiction.

Yeah, you're right. The prequels sure weren't a story.
