The Original Trilogy - a general Random Thoughts thread

^ I love it 😃

James Earl Jones is the man.
 

For me it was the ships and vehicles, especially growing up with the toys and figures.

The beaten-up ‘second-hand’ look of the rag-tag Rebel Fleet gave the story some extra depth and quality, a sense of the ‘hopeless cause’, that they were scratching around for anything and everything to us vs the well resourced and ‘new shiny’ Empire - with their seemingly limitless supply of ships.

And it was great, and something different, as a kid seeing that on-screen and then running off and playing with those aged / battle-damaged toys etc.
 

The SnowSpeeder and B-Wing don’t get enough love in my book - pah to those fancy X-Wings 😉

Has anyone ever been removed from the end credits? I remember reading something, but can’t find anything now. Am I just misremembering… again?

In The Empire Strikes Back we hear Yoda ask Luke, “How you get so big eating food of this kind?” Then in The Mandalorian, we see a child of the same species as Yoda eat a life frog. So when they go back to Yoda’s place, what exactly is he trying to feed Luke? “Eat! Good food! Mmm, good, hmm?”

^ Rootleaf , I cook , good food , yes …https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rootleaf_stew

Well, it says “So You Want to Be a Jedi?” is canon, and there’s a recipe for it in the Galaxy’s Edge Cookbook, so that must be it. Dagobha sure looks like it has a lot of frogs though. Luke train there for a while. I’m betting Yoda slipped one in at some point.

I feel like there’s a baby Yoda and Kermit meme to be made out of it all. lol
