So any two characters who appear on screen together are having sex? Meh...

@ Jeffminor: They'd produce the Kwisatz Haderach!
@Dshramek: Don't blame her. I'd have serious rage in that position. Gotta assert yourself in that outfit.

What is with this sexualizing everything. It's like a bunch of middle school boys with too much time on their hands. Next thing you know we'll be hearing that George Lucas had a love affair with the digital cameras created to produce the new trilogy, or that he was intimately involved with R2D2 because R2 was such a prominent character in all sex (i mean "six") movies, or that his "directing" of the entire cast was nothing more than a ploy to explore more recreational "directing"

Grow up people... I like this website overall, but with this kind of crap continuing to go on i may have to find my sci-fi info someplace else.

Nien Nunb & Lando.

It's Darth Vader and Admiral Piett, damnit! The whole Boss-employee thing with a bit of murder on top. Boba Fett is overrated and I'm really pissed at Lucas for making him such a prominent part of the series.
I actually liked Anakin and Padme. If you don't like that there's always Anakin and Obi-Wan, just saying that makes me sick a little in my mouth, excuse me... D:

@Project Thanatos: I was watching Jedi recently and I saw something I hadn't seen in my childhood. It never occurred to me how brutally Leia straight murders Jabba. I mean sure he's a creepy fat guy who kept her frozen boyfriend as a wall decoration, but there was some serious rage going on in that scene. There was clearly something going on between the scenes.

@Buji: No, you're not the only one; I remeber a kiss in sick-bay, but that little picture of the two of them in the hallway doesn't look right. That outfit he's wearing is only shown when he's outside, on the back of a Taunton, or dying in the snow.

@Buji:
No, I don't recall that either. I just remember the kiss when Luke's in the hospital bed, prompting the classic, "Laugh it up, fuzzball" line from Han.
Lucas must've digitally added it. Is there a catastrophic blast wave after they finish?

For the record, Nien Nunb is speaking Tagalog, not just gibberish nothings to Lando. Still hot though.

While it's extrinsic to the films, I think the R2/C3PO anti-smoking PSA best revealed their romantic disfunction.

"R2, do you really think I don't have a heart?"

Sad.

You know... if you think about it.. Leia and Jabba could have turned out to be some of our first tentacle-rape porn experiences...

In regards to Mon Mothma and Ackbar...IT'S A TRAP.

Nah, R2 and 3PO were the best couple in Star Wars. "You can fix him, can't you? If any of my parts will help I'll gladly donate them!"

Real drama would have = real incest. Luke and Leia's love child with super abilities! You have to breed to reinforced the traits you want.

A personal anecdote that may shed some light on this:

I used to work at a medical clinic on Tatooine as part of a Medicines Sans Frontieres team. It was set up after some reports came in of large numbers of Sand People...pardon me, Tusken Raiders, being slaughtered - men, women, children. Pretty intense. It was unclear at the time whether this was an ongoing thing or just a one-off incident.

Anyway, the point is, we set up this clinic...and while we didn't see any more victims of massacres, the number of Tusken Raiders that we had to treat for crushed spinal columns and broken pelvises was just shocking.

Even after years of training working as a medical intern with Nerf Herders...I mean, I had seen a lot of things, heard a lot of lies and a lot of embarrassing explanations...but...well, it didn't come close to preparing me for what I witnessed.

Luke and Leia, the Donnie and Marie of Star Wars.

As for Mon Mothma and Akhbar, could be those Calamaris have a "fish top and human bottom" dynamic.

Of course, R2D2 and C3P0. Why do you think R2 has all those nifty attachments?

Since it took me so long to type, I'm going to shamelessly plug my comment from the Transformers thread because I think it's funny, and every time I read it I laugh. And I don't laugh at ANYTHING.
