Sorry, chief. I've been away doing gigs for the past few days - busiest part of the year for us singers. However, while I was away, I never stopped thinking about the forum!

Yes, I forgot about Threepio's "flying skills" in ROTS. How unfair that, just as he was getting the hang of it, that pesky Captain Antilles got his memory wiped.

I can't help but wonder if Lucas had Threepio's role diminished because Anthony Daniels had criticised the Ewoks in ROTJ. Or maybe Lucas was a good mate of Kenny Baker's and sided with him in their ongoing feud.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking things...
