Hootie Owlkins and the Blowfishheadmen: “It’s a TRAP! Just let her go…”
Lt. Eckhardt from Batman was also Porkins! I did not know that!
:eek: I’ll be damned
I knew that.
This discussion reminds me of dialogue from Thumb Wars:
Loke Groundrunner: I’ve got three fist fighters coming from my left.
Pilot: Copy, Stray Dog.
Loke Groundrunner: I-I don’t think I’m Stray Dog.
Pilot: Copy that, Red Rooster.
Loke Groundrunner: I-I don’t think I’m Red Rooster either.
Pilot: No problem, Nasty Butler.
Loke Groundrunner: I’m ending this transmission.
It was, up to that time, Luke’s most prolonged & strenuous use of The Force.
“oh yeah. I’m gonna like this Jedi stuff…”
The Star Wars movies in general, and it’s consistent with the so-called Expanded Universe, suggest the “galaxy” is a pretty militarized place, and there’s wars taking place more or less everywhere all the time. People carry arms openly and civilian ships are armed; it would be as if merchant ships today carried autocannons and Harpoon missiles. It’s strongly implied that the level of control the Republic/Empire holds over a given system falls away as you get further from the center of government, which I guess is Coruscant all the way through.
So there’s probably armies and air forces all over the place from where one can recruit experienced pilots.
In the mid-90s, BBC Radio did an adaptation of the Superman vs. Doomsday storyline. William Hootkins (Porkins) played Lex Luthor.
That, I have known for a long time. What I only found out recently is that Garrick Hagon (Biggs) played Perry White in the same adaptation.
One wonders if they reminisced about the good old days when they were on the same side, fighting the Death Star.
And enjoying some fine BBQ.
That’s great. I’ve never seen those before.
Observations:
That is one dorky hat.
Apparently, there is at least one more woman in the SW universe, and she has a British accent.
That alien running around Mos Eisley with the clappy board is really strange. 
Dammit. You owe me $20.*
- I’ll handle the shipping.
The sauce is strong in this one.
“Camie” was played by Koo Stark, who dated Prince Andrew (“Randy Andy”) until she appeared in a couple of softcore porn films.
About her only other notable appearance was as Lister’s wife (Lady Sabrina Mulholland-Jjones) in the “Timeslides” episode of Red Dwarf.
It’s a well-known fact that Porkins had replaced his targeting computer system with a microwave oven. The only remaining mystery is what exactly he was cooking up in there when he got himself shot down.
I say he was reheating some KFC but that’s just me.
Took you nine months to finish that thought?
Yes.
The really kick ass move here would have been to post this…in 9 months.
I wanted to wait 9 but I caved after 2.
Just like that time I tried nofap.
