Because Han Solo says "I'll see you in Hell" in ESB, there's now a mythology explaining what hell is

Anakin followed Obi-Wan on a damn fool idealistic crusade to rescue Obi-Wan.

 

It was a big setback to the harvest that year.

 

Both of them derive from the same root though.

 

Damn right it isn't.

 

Also:

Yup. I just find it especially funny that people think hell is a specifically Christian concept when the very word we use for the place is derived from the old Norse stuff.

 

But Han Solo is obviously referring to the Christian hell.

 

Also obviously, he's a Space American

 

Exactly.

 

And somewhere, out there in the inky depths of space, Space Jesus is waiting for him.

 

Waru waits for us all out there somewhere, my son.

 

ALL of us

DUN DUN DUNNNN

 

Taking this in a slightly more serious direction again, the one thing that did annoy me about the EU and Hell is the way it was identified as being a specifically Corellian concept. Because obviously anything about a character in the films must be a defining element of their species or culture.

 

there is a corellian hell though

Chaos is labeled here as Corellion in origin

 

I much prefer the explanation for "Hell" than the lame explanation for Anakin's "Angel" comment.

 

don't make me choose!

 

Yeah, it works much better as a lame pick-up line coming from a 9-year-old.

 

Note to self: start using "sheep herder" as a real life insult

 

"Goatherd" might be closer.

 

Quiet, you Cowherders!

 

I think now is a good time to put this thread to bed.
