Are we supposed to believe Leia rode in the cargo hold of the X-Wing, or that they abandoned a perfectly good Y-Wing on Tattooine in the middle of a war? ;)

Well...Luke did abandon his X-wing on Cloud City. It magically reappears. Unless the Alliance just gave him another expensive ship to simply replace the one he left sitting around.

I'm waiting for the LOBOT CHRONICLES tv show, which will show how he flew Luke's X-Wing out of there, looking for a job as one of those reverse-lobot guys in Flash Gordon.

They never do. Especially at around $10 a pop. Freaking ridiculous. You have to pay $10 for a over-detailed tiny action figure that isn't even of a character you would want to play with.

PRUNEFACE!

Oh, you mean the new George Lucas Saga "The Lando's Aide"? It's going to be 12 parts.

I sure want that Mon Cal pilot to play with, and as a kid I played with my Pruneface figure all the time.

Nothing new for Hasbro, they did some sandstorm scene figures a couple years back. I almost bought the Chewie with the bandaged up leg!

Anyone who complains about today's SW figs being too detailed never spooked the mailman waiting for their early bird figures to arrive as a kid. My old Kenner figures looked like they were carved out of a bar of soap compared to what kids have now! ;)

And who the heck is General Cracken?

EDIT:Nevermind!

Why would you "have to" pay for something you wouldn't want to play with?

Now that I look at them a little closer, maybe it's best that one of them didn't make it onto the toy store shelves.

Many years ago, when I worked in a large printing facility, we were required to wear dress-style uniforms because we were a high-tech printing facility. Neatness and formality were the order of the day because our customers were high-end (Microsoft, Apple, Norton, Ashton Tate, etc). 

I thought it would be humorous to make a custom name patch for my uniform. I put a lot of work into it and it matched the real ones perfectly.  I replaced my name with the name Ben Dover.  About a week later, the supervisor for the California operations was in town to visit the three plants that made up our division.

I don't have to tell you - I got dressed down pretty severely for that one.  Seems they failed to see the humor.  Hey, when you're 23 you sometimes do stupid stuff.  It did look real though.

Some of my peers in college were fond of slipping names like "Jack Mehoff" into the credits of the boring talk shows we slaved on. The teacher wasn't terribly amused when he finally noticed months later. I don't think he ever found out about the pixelated frames from an adult film someone else used as a background graphic!

General McCracken? Because he's a crack shot? Ouch. Lucasfilm is running out of clever names...

The name comes from Zahn's HTTE trilogy if I'm not mistaken.  And it's just Cracken - Airen Cracken.  I think it's supposed to be an allusion to the Kraken.

And the guy who appears in Jedi was probably assigned to that character by Decipher for their card game, if I had to guess.

Never heard of Zak McKracken (and the Alien Mindbenders)?

That was a LucasArts computer game, right?

TK's point was that Chewie is with Leia at the beginning of ROTJ, so it doesn't necessarily stand that every player has to have been in the same place they were left at the end of the previous film.

Even if you disregard the EU Shadows of the Empire, the search for Han was suppose to have taken some time and any number of things could have happened between films...

 I've always been under the impression that an indeterminate amount of time had lapsed between the movies. I'd always imagined the Rebel Alliance hopping from planet to planet before finally settling on Hoth. Luke looks so much older and wiser in RotJ, I imagine all of the training and experiences he's gone through until that point.

And obviously the Death Star took some time to rebuild. Even in its unfinished looking state, it is "fully operational".

Agree, but the thing is that it is pretty explicit in ROTJ that he never saw Yoda since he left him at the end of ESB. ("promise to an old friend", him asking about Vader being is father, Yoda being surprised that Vader told Luke about it, etc...). So everything he learned to be close to the Jedi master level, he learned by myself.

^Which is a bit a flaw in the series as it stands.

That reduces Ben and Yoda to a couple of blokes one of which introduced Luke to the concept of fishing and gave him his first rod and another guy who taught him not to shoot at the fish when they wouldn't hop onto his hook.

Not exactly a teaching experience.

They could have just sent him a few instructional video cassettes and stayed safe and alive in their hiding places.

 On the other hand, listening to some EU, some assumption, Luke had ongoing guidance from Ben's spirit and from research and practice.  Since he is so powerful, it seems a lot might be intuitive for him as well, with the self-discipline and practice that he could provide for himself.
