Some short time browsing Wookiepedia made me realize that in Star Wars there is no "Stormtrooper #1, General #3" etc.
The generic characters in the films almost all have full names and at least a basic history. That's just bizarre.
Also Leia died in between A New Hope and Empire? By having her fucking heart turned into diamond? That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read.
what
She was alive in Empire...uh...
Oh right. Then she was resurrected along with the three stormtroopers that had followed her in there. Now she had to escape them though! But that was no problem too since the spirits that decided to turn her heart (and one of the troopers!) into diamond then just on a whim sent the stormtroopers eight-thousand years in the past!
Short time later, she was forced to land on an unidentified planet while escaping from Imperial forces. Leia soon found the remains of Imperial stormtroopers that had been lying there for thousands of years and twisted her ankle. She then met four spirits—Tilotny, Horliss-Horliss, Cold Danda Sine and Splendid Ap—and three stormtroopers. The spirits, curious about the "tiny movers," decided to play with them. Tilotny turned one stormtrooper into a diamond and then transformed Leia's heart into a diamond as well, killing her. Meanwhile, Tilotny killed the remaining stormtroopers and ordered Splendid Ap to clean the mess. He resurrected Leia and the stormtroopers, but placed the latter eight thousand years in the past. After regaining consciousness, Leia somehow managed to return to Yavin base.
this is one of the most absurd thing I've ever read
because nobody involved in the first one has gotten any work since the first one came out
err, you wanna try that again
nah, I feel comfortable making statements that are probably wrong
should have specified it a little probably
maybe to "everyone involved in the first that isn't willem dafoe or billy connoly"

The stormtrooper that pulls over Luke and Obi wan to ask them about their droids has his own short story that is official canon. He also has his own trading card.
Oh God I have way too many Star Wars: CCG cards.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Stubbornly staying on the Star Wars topic: I was watching the original trilogy on TV a while back, and it struck me that, of all of George Lucas' many faults, the most glaring one has to be that he thinks he is hilarious.
Levity is not the problem in the series - the problem, is that George Lucas is severely unfunny.

The behind the scenes stuff on the episode I dvd are great just for the interviews with Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson. There's one where Liam talks about when he and Ewan first got to practice fighting with the lightsabers and for about an hour they made the VVVUVVVUUUVVVRRROWWW noises until Lucas kept telling them to stop.

Seems like Lucas is just a huge, fun-killing buzzsaw.
The characters will hop in their ships, warp a thousand light years away in roughly three seconds, land, then spend the next ten minutes of screen time walking from their ship to the destination point.

It was terrible. The deepest strategies were about force draining and not space battles.
Disappointment.

Out of all the childhood heroes I no longer hold in high esteem, his fall from grace was the ugliest.
I've always loved a good moff.
