	I went and saw SW4 and SW5 again too.  LUCAS is UNFAIR to WOOKIES and
WOMEN!!  There are no female fighter-pilots, or Jedi, or officers of the Empire
or even (as far as we know) storm troopers.  The rebels had one female 
communications officer in TESB, though.  In the triumphant procession at
the end of SW Chewie, Han, and Luke march up in front of the rebel assembly ...
but only Han and Luke receive medals.  Drat!  Is it against the Chewie's
religion to wear anything besides that silver ammo-belt? (which may not
even be an ammo belt?).  Oh I forgot -- you get one shot of what is probably
shoes on Chewie in TESB.

	I have finally discovered why I *much prefer* SW to TESB (contrary
to popular opinion).  In SW the characters are often impetuous and conceited,
but in TESB, even with time to think they act *STUPIDLY*.

	Consider.  Luke is in a cave with an abomknable snowman, miles and
miles away from the base, and night is falling.  What would you do?  Start
*walking* home?  or kill the snow beast (or drive him away) with your light
saber, and stay sheltered in the warm cave until morning?  I know what *I*
would do....  

	Han has survived a night outdoors on Hoth-moon.  Now he wants to go
out and check on the robot-droid-probe.  Does he take a spacecraft which have
now been fixed to work under cold conditions?  As far as we know, he and
Chewie walk -- though they may have taken Tauntauns.  Why?  Couldnt Chewie
fit into a spacefighter?  Are robot-droid-probes sensitive to electronic
equipment?  

	Doesnt Darth Vader know that you never put all your prisoners together
so they can comfort each other, regain morale, and plan how to escape?  He
knew about solitary confinement in SW -- why has he forgotten in TESB?

	Questions: Luke draws his saber first every time he faces Vader, incl-
uding in the cave.  Anybody know whether Vader or OB1 draws first in their
great battle?  I forgot to look.  How does R2D2 go down stairs?  Why does
Luke throw the food stick which he wont let Yoda eat into the swamp?  What
does the princess do her hair with after days of torture while in Solitary
confinement?
