My Strangest Childhood Star Wars Remembrance...

Yep I thought Yoda was really a 900 year-old human.

 

I voted for 'believing Jabba was a really fat human'. I didn't know what he was exactly, either human, alien or whatever, but what I remember is that when I saw the OT after so many years, I was dissapointed about Jabba's body mass . I remembered him much fatter . Oh, and I remembered Yoda much smaller. I guess my mind tends to change the size of the characters ?

 

Many a sandtrooper I lost in the sand box.

 

i shudder to think how much my toys would be worth today had i not attached firecrackers to them and thrown then off the back porch in mock battles with my cousins. *sighs*

 

believing Yoda was really a 900 year-old human

Guilty.

 

Vader lived under my bed.

Now I sleep in a drawer.

He can't find me there.

 

How about, "Wondering where I saw the scene of the Chewbacca's family, only to realize years later that I had seen the Holiday Special in its original broadcast!"

Later I bought it on tape and man, you wanna talk strange? It's worse than you think...

 

None of those unfortunatly.

 

I actually had a remote control R2, and it would make all kinds of noise in it's box at night! It was alive, and it was conspiring for something.

 

believing Yoda was really a 900 year-old human

This has not been confirmed or denied.

 

i believe that "dreaming Darth vader lived under the bed and stole childrens' toys to burn" was your strangest childhood Star Wars remembrance

 

Yep, the one about Darth Vader was pretty weird. But I remember thinking that Jabba shrunk Oola, and then ate her... ? I was a little strange when I was little

 

I used to think the same about Jabba and Oola.

 

It's nice to know I am not the only one

 

i, too, thought that about jabba and oola!
[face_shocked] !!

 

Oh my gosh... this getting too scary now... I wonder how many more of us there are...

 

Nowt as strange as that. My only recollection of my first viewing (when I was 7) was that the ESB video kept playing backwards...

 

Hey Apparition...don't feel bad... I thought the same thing about Oola....

Funny story... I was five when TESB came out. My Dad took me and my Mom went shopping. When she picked us up outside the theatre and asked me how the movie was I blurted out "Darth Vader is Luke's father!" Those poor people standing in line didn't know what to think. The original spoiler I guess....

 

Funny story!
Ok, that makes at least five of us now...

 

Yay! I'm not alone in the Jabba-Oola thing! YES! I would play that scene over and over again, trying to see that thing that Jabba ate better, to figure it out.. ...

 

Actually it was not Han, but my Tuskin Raider.

 

no, it's gotta be when i freaked out cuz my mom threatened to bust out the imperial interrogation droid on me if i didn't tell her what i REALLY put in the microwave.

 

The Empire Strikes Back pop-up book is hardcore.

 

I used to think that Han was Boba Fett. I don't know why, but that's what I thought.
