This question is for the so called "Advanced Lord" of the Sith.
How can you call yourself an advanced lord? How can you even call yourself a man? You had big dreams and ambitions of ruling the galaxy, but left your pregnant wife at home to play with stormtroopers and fly your big midlife crisis battle cruisers. All the while, Luke is forced to grow up with his poor uncle Owen, who can't even afford a good droid in working order. Who are his positive role models? The Tuscan Raiders?
And now look at you. 2nd in command to the Emperor of the galaxy. How much does that pay you per year? Did you send Owen a little money to help raise your child? I'll bet not! I bet you even used your political influences to keep your paycheck from being garnished.
Oh, now that Luke is a man, and not your financial responssibility, now you want to have a relationship with him. Where were you all those years?
You disgust me.
You deserved to have your hand cut off by your own son.
I hope he pulls your mask off and you die!

Awesome post Ohioman. Now you have given me a reason to crush your throat with the power of the Dark Side remotely. I only need to be within .145234 parsecs for my force powers to work. Alas, I had both of my hands cut off by those assholes Count Dooku and Obi Wan so I cannot use Sith Lightening. Feel the power of the Dark Side. Notice how your throat feels tight. Wait until I cross the Illinois border in my specially designed Tie Fighter. It only takes .0000002342 parsecs.

Your powers are weak, old man. 18 days of no nicotine has made my throat strong. Besides, I have a DNA sample. Not only are you Luke's dad, but Lando's as well. How many more are there? Call you DDD - Deadbead Dad Darth from now on...
You guys are such nerds.
I LOVE IT!
Seems to me the skywalker family really needs a few sessions of Family therapy....

I am sorry if this question has been covered before--one I've had since I was a little boy: Did Jabba the Hut die happy? I suspect he did but I wanted to canvas your thoughts.

I've been playing the Lego StarWars Complete Saga with my lad on the Wii. It is a blast. If you have a wii, go get the game and have fun.
Anyone remember this segment??

That pod-racing level was a bitch. It took me and Luke a week to pass it. I was almost ready to give up. I agree though, that it is a great SW game.
The Empire Strikes Back turns 30 today. Happy birthday to the best of the 6 movies.

The Empire Strikes Back turns 30 today. Happy birthday to the best of the 6 movies.
The climatic Death Star fighter-to-fighter scene in "Star Wars: A New Hope" causes me to give it a very slight edge over "Empire." The agonized, static-shrouded death cries of each rebel fighter pilot are an incredible touch, and the part with Han Solo flying in to save the day left me with tears of joy, and watching my 7-year-old son enjoy the movie more than 30 years later rekindles all that.
Also, regarding Empire, I would have liked to have seen a little more airtime for Dengar, the bloodied, bandaged lumberjack-looking fella. I read somewhere that he had a grudge against Solo following an intense, no-holds-barred hover-craft race (or something like that) in which Dengar suffered some sort of disfigurement from the crash. I'm at work so I can't search for Dengar's backstory. I'm half-joking here: Empire is fine without adding to Dengar's two seconds of fame.

Ha ha. Most of my retro Star Wars toys are Empire vintage. I was 7 in 1980. I still have 3 Dengar action figures. He probably wasn't very popular because no one knew who he was. I'm sure that my parents and grandparents each bought one for me because it was one of the last available. I'll look him up for us.
From the official SW site:
Eluding the Imperial starfleet after the Battle of Hoth, the Millennium Falcon and her crew demanded the personal attention of Darth Vader. Disgusted with the fleet's inability to capture a single smuggler vessel, Vader turned to the shadows of the Empire, the galaxy's fringe. He hired six elite bounty hunters, offering a substantial reward for the capture of the Falcon. Answering the call was the grizzled human hunter known as Dengar.
From the Expanded Universe
"Payback," they called him, a bounty hunter with a gravity well-producing chip on his shoulder. Sure, the professionals will advise keeping hunts from getting personal. For Dengar, however, personal vendettas have fueled much of his career.
The Corellian was once a daring swoop-racer until a competitive rival named Han Solo cut his career short. Although it was Dengar who was at fault -- he crashed his swoop into Solo's vehicle -- he blamed Han for the debilitating cranial trauma that followed.
Dengar was patched together by agents of the Empire and transformed into a remorseless killer. The bio-implants that replaced damaged flesh stripped all emotion from Dengar, save for hatred and a burning need for revenge.
The rebuilt killer worked for the Empire. Equipped with a Corellian JumpMaster 5000 christened the Punishing One, Dengar was a one-man judge, jury and executioner tracking down criminals of the New Order. When word of the hefty bounty on Solo reached him, Dengar vowed to track down the Corellian smuggler. Dengar became an independent bounty hunter.
During his Imperial employ, something changed Dengar. A reprehensible order to kill the Holy Children of Asrat did not sit well with the assassin, and he left Imperial service. Instead, he began targeting Imperials. The death of a COMPNOR general convinced many in the Alliance of Dengar's change of heart.
His rediscovered conscience, it would seem, was but a ruse to get closer to the Rebellion, where Solo resided. Despite his transgression against the Empire, Vader nonetheless invited Dengar aboard the Executor to discuss the capture of the Falcon.
Although Dengar failed to capture Solo, he did find something unexpected in his hunt. He came across a beautiful Aruzan woman named Manaroo, whose compassion and access to a cybernetic link stirred the long-buried emotions inside Dengar. The two fell in love.
It was a rebirth for Dengar. Surviving the collapse of Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire, Dengar's newfound compassion and camaraderie extended to rescuing a naked and wounded Boba Fett who had clawed his way out of the Sarlacc's gullet. The two formed a working partnership that would last years, and Fett even served as best man at Dengar and Manaroo's wedding.
Fett and Dengar eventually parted ways during the resurrected Emperor's campaign to retake the galaxy. Though he surfaced from time to time in the years after, Dengar's current whereabouts and activities are unknown.

You guys are lucky. Every birthday or Xmas, every single one of my big fat aunts would buy me the latest Lando Calrissian action figure, and after a while I had a whole army of Landos, nothing else. My Aunt Leticia mixed in a Darth Vader once, probably because James Earl Jones did the voice. In frustration, I walked three miles to the nearest store and swiped a Princess Leia when no one was looking.
