Jabba on the Dais!!!

So, I'm eating one of those little bite-size Milky Way bars I have left over from Halloween, just happens to be promoting ROTS on the wrapper. Each one has a trivia question on it with a glow-in-the-dark answer, most of them are obvious. But, the question on my wrapper is: "Who is R2-D2's master?"

As I'm chewing on the chocolatey-caramel goodness that Milky Way provides, I'm thinking... To us fans of the OT, of course we'd immediately answer "Luke". But then if they're promoting ROTS, the answer might be "Anakin". But then, he originally belonged to Padme and was supposedly given to Anakin as a wedding gift. And then there's also the whole "Captain Antilles" thing. Or the "he claims to be the property of Obi-Wan Kenobi" line. So, suddenly I'm intrigued, not by the question, but more by the curiosity of what the people at Milky Way selected for the answer. Because, honestly, it's a toss up.

Okay, normally I wouldn't do this, but my curiosity and my Star Wars-inspired childhood took over my body and made me waste ten seconds to go check this answer out. So, I hold the little wrapper up to the light and go into the bathroom and close the door. I felt like I was five again, by the way.

And what's the answer?

"Jabba the Hutt"!!! And there's a little glowing cartoon likeness of Jabba smiling back at me, mocking me almost!

I'm like, "What? Jabba the f*cking Hutt??? What the hell?"

I mean, yes, technically that's true for an extremely brief period of time. But come on... Where do these marketing people get their info?

I was baffled. Had it been a Jeopardy question, I'd have lost everything.

And now I'm telling you about it so you can make fun of me.

InfoDroid,

I share your rage. I may never buy my son M&M's again.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

That's a funny story. How did they pick that, I wonder? You're right to be confused!

Jabba is his master. It will be explained in the next DVD release. Oh, and he is not really a droid, but a clone droid, made up of midiclorians, and he secretly works for the emperor, and is Obi-Wan's father...

That made my eyes bleed.

Sounded eerily like "Dr. Zaius" from "Stop the Planet of the Apes, I wanna Get Off!"

Calm down. That particular question (and candy bar) has several different answers. You just happened to get the Jabba one. Other possibilities are Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala, and Princess Leia.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

"I love you, Dr. Zaius!"

But I think that stormtrooper on the right loves you more than I do.

I'm serious when I say though, nice job on the costume, that's pretty sweet.

I'm even more serious when I say, I didn't know you could bend an armored codpiece like that.

Thanks.

Though I take no responsibility for random convention Stormtroopers... nor their strange monkey urges.

Regardless, this has been one of the funniest threads I have ever read in my entire life! Thanks guys - if I was drinking milk, it would have come out my nose!

"JABBA THE HUTT?! WHAT THE F---?!"

My response exactly, and then when you went on about his little smiling head mocking you LOL!

"ON THE DAIS, ON THE DAIS - JABBA ON THE DAIS!"

I didn't even know what a dais was before I watched that! Freakin' hilarious! It made it seem really significant that he was sitting on it!
MTFBWY. Always.

That was a really hilarious song/video. I'm a little disappointed they used the special editions as their source, though...

Glad I could've potentially made milk spew out your nostrils, theredbaron. As long as it's not some of Aunt Beru's blue milk, I don't have a problem with it. (Blue milk leaves a stain.)

Dr. Zaius!

Now watch this video and compare the two songs, you'll see what I mean.

And thanks, GreenCapt! Not for the porntrooper, but for the simple fact that I can't get that friggin' song out of my head now! "On the dais, on the dais - Jabba on the dais!" Everybody now...!!!

Sick, sick stuff on this board.
