Don't forget Camie and Han's girlfriend that were both left on the cutting room floor....or the twins in the cantina now that I think about it.
"Leia managed to send hundreds of people to their deaths, by having them do her dirty work, so she could have revenge for some dude blowing up her planet."
Er what? She was part of a rebellion that existed before the destruction of alderaan, I don't think revenge factored too much into it or an ability to send hundreds to their deaths for a personal vendetta. It was a war of political ideals.
Anyway, love the way the AT-AT is coming out Ady. Has it been hard learning to do all this prop work?
