I always thought it was a nice touch showing the years of partnership and all.
It is admittedly though one of those things (like much of the PT) that was better conceived then executed.

It looked the same size because it was the same set, and it wasn't Ten Forward, it was just an officer's lounge. Ten Forward was the size it was because it served three times as many people, on a much larger ship.

"It appears someone doesn't want us to know about this Kamino system"
"Which means there's something happening on that system we should know about"

As for Sgt William Candy, I'm glad they cut it. That was pretty stupid especially when Candy sounds like what one would consider the stereotype of a Southern fried idiot.

I think its fair to say I've watched these films too many times in my life, but thank you sir for saving me the amount of time it would have taken to find all that out!

Aaand as I'm writing this I thinking to myself the only way I'd hate a droid that much is if they at one point were a massive army that tried taking over the universe killing everyone in it's path. Could it be that his line about hating droids is a subtle reference to the prequels to come years later? Did Lucas actually have it that thought out? I think that he did NOT!

that's exactly the point. droids take up room and don't buy anything.

I get the no drinking thing but I don't think that's it. Hell I've been in places where they say you have to buy a minimum but it's the "Their Kind" line that really sells the hatred as opposed to the good business men. Furthermore how discerning can the dude be? Aside from the regular rabble and vagabonds he's got some seriously bad dudes in there. Assassin twins, Some dude with a Death Sentence in multiple systems and an architect having the worst day of his life.

Also (and I had forgotten bout the end of the story), in the end he learned to love droids when a droid helped him brew a drink using pheremones secreted by the dead Greedo. Yeah, that's pretty messed up.
As for Han, I think it was just that he didn't like machines that talked back.

Now I know I might turn a few people here....but Watchmen was amazing. I personally cant wait for the super-duper extended edition. This scene was left out and I think its absolutly beautiful and tragic all in the same go!!!

Another thing that pissed me off was something so trivial that its worth overlooking once. But hundreds!! Thats just not cricket. I tried to watch an Iron Maiden vid on youtube and it said 'sorry not available in your country'. Im sorry WHAT!! Iron Maiden is british fuckin metal band. I can understand an american vid not playing over here. It happens a lot with ther MTV player and that I can live with. But blocking UK users from watching UK stuff!! Eh!!!????
