I actually thought it would have been fun to see them being cooked by Han and Leia over a fire but maybe I am being a bit too harsh....it is my dark side. The other issue I had is when Darth Vader is dying and Luke takes off his mask so we can finally see who is underneath.

You see, I never trust anything with fake fur. <br /><br />I've met Peter Mayhew a time or two.

What Lucas had originally intended was for that battle to be on Kashyyyk with the wookies, but, by the time they'd gotten to Jedi, he felt like he'd made Chewbacca too sophisticated. Not to mention the issue of getting enough actors to play towering wookies when he already had a relationship with actors on the shorter side.<br /><br />Note: wook-E to E-wokAndrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
