I always like ROTJ more than ESB. The little girl I was when they came out liked Ewoks a whole lot better than a sliced open Tauntaun (and I had to google that name to make sure I had the right one). I remember asking an old boyfriend who the hell Boba Fett was. I remember saying “Him? But… but he’s not really even in the movies that much. Does he even speak?” He was like “Oh, but he is cool!” I was mostly confused. I still am. So while I’ve seen all 6 in theaters and multiple, multiple, multiple times at home, I feel like a n00b and I’m part of some fringe fandom: I don’t care for Boba, I like ROTJ better, I like I, II, and III, Jar Jar doesn’t make me any more insane than 3P0. I’m sure most of you think I watched something entirely different than you did. And while I really did like the prequels, I do see how GL really over did it. They could have been better with a little more restraint and some better choices, but I still like them. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Natalie Portman’s nipples never showed through, but the costumers did an excellent job of making it _look_ like they were, through clever placement of utilitarian seams. Thus, they get the best of both worlds: Those who want to see nipples will see them, and to those who profess to not want to see nipples, they can show that they weren’t visible, and that it was merely an illusion produced by the seams. You sure those aren’t nipples poking through? I’m going to have to go and double check. I’ll be back. ---

Well, Natalie Portman can’t be more than a B cup, so even if they’re nipples, they’re probably fake. ---

I’ve seen girls with tiny tits but eraser nipples. It’s possible. Also, apparently she’s going full nude in her next movie so we’ll see! ---

Hmmm perhaps. But also, how thick is that fabric? Wouldn’t they get flattened and then not show, unless maybe she was aroused… ---

> [@Cisco](#): > > KASHYYYK, you N00B. Gosh! I’d like to take a moment to confess something. In _South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut_, when Johnny Cochran starts his Chewbacca Defense, I have to confess to really hating that scene because…well…Chewbacca DOESN’T live on Endor! He’s not FROM Endor! He doesn’t LIVE there! The only reason he even encountered the Ewoks was because of being on the mission to shut down the defense shield. There’s no connection between Chewbacca and Endor except that one coincidence! Gaaaah… (Sorry, sorry…My name is Jim and I’m a full-on geek.) ---

If Chewbacca is a Wookie from the planet Kashyk, but he does not live on Endor, then the Chewbacca Defense makes no sense. But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this thread? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this thread! It does not make sense! Ladies and gentleman of the supposed bastion of fighting ignorance, this does not make sense! If Chewbacca does not live on Endor, you must submit reply! ---

> [@](#): > > You sure those aren’t nipples poking through? I’m going to have to go and double check. Yeah, most of her body has one layer of fabric over it, but the way the seams work out, right over where her nipples would be, there’s about seven layers. Even if it was really cold in the studio that day, they’d have to be magnificent nipples indeed to show through seven layers of cloth. ---

How do you know he doesn’t live on Endor, at least during the off-season? Maybe he and Mallatobuck bought a little fixer-upper so that little Lumpawaroo would romp in the wilderness and have playmates smaller than he was. Huh? Betcha never thought of that, did ya? ---
