"Star Wars stereotypes: Not a force for good"
Time

I don't think you're racist. I was only concerned about drama ensuing given what happened when someone used "autism" a while back.

The droids are just bickering friends. I think the gay couple thing may have started with Mad Magazine's parody, which made Threepio limp wristed, and Artoo complaining he was stuck with a "f*g robot". I'm amazed that it was reprinted around the 20th anniversary with that word intact.

I didn't hear or see any gay references to the droids again until The Simpsons.

I know that's a Muppet voice, but drawing a blank on which one. Can't wait to see what you do with the Wookiee army. :)

It's Rowlf, from The Great Muppet Caper when he "talks" to the guard dogs at the museum where the Baseball Diamond is.  Never fails to make me laugh.

The Wookiee army clip is coming as soon as vimeo is done processing (youtube blocked it).

 Damn! I should have recognized his voice! ;)

I'd call almost everyone currently in this thread a bunch of whiny bitches, but that'd be insulting to female pooches everywhere.

 What brought this on? A thinly veiled mass personal attack is just as bad as a specific one. Knock it off.

This thread is starting to feel like it's going downhill, and the brakes aren't working. Maybe a move to off topic is in order.

It's the Jupiter Effect all over again! Or did Chuck Norris revise his 1000 years of darkness prediction?

At least Y2K was semi plausible. I think some VCR timers didn't work or something. ;)

You don't have to be Carl Sagan to know there isn't anything big enough between the Earth and the Sun to blot it out for days. Would be a cool way for some aliens to get our attention though!
