LEIA: This is some rescue. When you came in here, didn't you have a plan for getting out?
HAN: Peas for brains, sweetheart. tongue

BTW I only just found out what he really says. I actually like it better my way.

"I saw the Holiday Special when it aired, but was only 4 yrs old. Until I got to college and heard others talking about it, I thought that the Holiday Special was just something I had dreamed of....Seeing Chewie's house, and all. I didn't realize how attrocious it was, either. "



OMG!! I truly thought i was THE ONLY ONE that happened to.

All i rememember were some stormtroopers coming into the wookie house and twisting the head off of a stuffed animal toy.

happy

I always was afraid of chewbacca because he sounded so angry. The scene with the dead animal in ROTJ was horrible because it showed is hunger for flesh.
I also confused him with the bigfoot in one of the Magyver installments.

ROTJ and the other two Ewoks movies were the same for me.

Evers time I saw the cartoon series of C3PO and R2-D2 I was waiting for luke and han but they never came.

at the end of ROTJ when Darth Vader takes his little hat off i always thought he said 'tell your sister you've arrived'

and that he looked like Marlene from Neighbours (an obscure reference, i know)

I'm glad to know I am not the only one wink In fact, we seem to be in good company! Mine was a liitle different becuase I thought he shrunk her. happy

I also thought that:
•Darth Vader had a lava pit in his ship, and he threw Leia in it in a fit of rage.
•Lando had hair down to his waist and a nasty beard.
•Lando was Jabba ?:| . I thought he put on a Hutt suit, and that was who Jabba was. I remember having nightmares consisiting of Lando commanding me to put a Jabba suit on too... plain So strange...

Yeah, I also thought Jabba shrunk the dancer.

I remember at the end of ROTJ, where all the heroes are conveniently lined up and Wicket is with them, that maybe he was getting them to pose for a group picture.

(You have to admit, that's how it's framed!)

I used to call Lightsabres life savers.

I thought Leia said "Scruffy-Looking Nerf-Herders"

I also thought Oolo turned into a frog.

I thought that too. I also thought that when Solo was shouting at Threepio he said.

"Hurry up goldenrod, or you're going to be a permenant raisin."

Oh, here's a good one, I didn't remember until now.

I thought perhaps ESB was the last episode. I was so scared be3cause everything in it is so freaky - the space slug, mynocks, swamp snake... and Vader. He was just so incredibly evil. I thought he was killing Han when he encased him in carbonite, and forcing his friends to watch. No THAT's an evil guy.
