ArkAngel: That really hits me where I live. What have you done with those plans?! Gary here, never sees his daughter because of people like you!

Pedro here has been choked by Lord Vader five times already.

Similar to this set (new window), too:

MoonPirate: Maybe dad could teach Jr how to shoot. Clearly its a cultural failing.

Pff. Stormtroopers could shoot fine. Even Kenobi said "These blast points: only Imperial Troopers are so precise." Also, during the first scene when the troopers invade Leia's ship, they easily wipe out her guards.
The whole Rebellion was a false flag operation. As we learned in Ep. 1-3, Palpatine really loves being behind both sides of a war, so that he can take over the resulting power vacuum. Once he had the Empire, it was only natural that he would also start up the Rebellion so that either way, he could end up on top. In order to keep the Rebellion from collapsing, he gave orders that no one was to shoot the people in charge, but they could shoot the underlings (who happened to wear uniforms to make it easy).
His only miscalculation was that he didn't switch sides quickly enough at the end.

Cake Hunter: gilgigamesh: ...er, cork. Not cock. Heh.

Too late. No takebacks.

I think the Freudian slip says a lot.

Except this amount of depth and intrigue could never come out of the mind of George Lucas.

Is that like Bring Your Offspring To Work Day? (new window, SFW)

gilgigamesh: ...er, cork. Not cock. Heh.

I liked it better the first time around.

I'm sure they were on that thing when it blew...

Great. Now Lucas will have to insert some digital scenes of storm troopers with their kids and re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release the series again.

WHY DOES THEIR CHILD HAVE HUGE HOLES IN THEIR LEGS!?

Is it me or aren't most of the stormtroopers clones?

OKcomputer79: Is it me or aren't most of the stormtroopers clones?

given the time-frame between the two trilogies, i'd expect them to have hired on some temps to fill in the manpower gaps.

also, weren't the cloning facilities destroyed towards the end of the war?

I am willing to bet the divorce rate among storm troopers is high, along with the percentage of single mothers.

I read a book called 8 lives down about british Bomb tech in Basra Iraq in 2004. The author joked that the real meaning of EOD is Everyone's Divorce.

This is the one comment section where we are all not at each others throats. Is a nice break, and actually more interesting than many of the comment sections I've participated within fark. Though I do enjoy the ones pertaining to Asians or references of oriental rugs, they are always good for a laugh.

Maybe George Lucas will explain to us why he felt that children of StormTroopers deserve to grow up without fathers as opposed to the rebels.

Also note Tie fighter pilots. Maybe they were told not to reproduce altogether.

This guy should put up a picture of father and son watching Star Trek together.
