1. "Endor" is not exactly an echo of Tolkien; one of the favorite Old
Testament subjects of painters has been the witch of Endor (from context,
she's actually a medium (maybe necromancer)).
   2. re what went past Luke while he was hanging onto the underside of
Cloud City: one of the nut cases among this area's juvenile fandom (she'd
probably be a Valley Girl on the other coast) made up a clay model,
realistically painted, of a severed hand, which she planned to hold up
(yelling "I got it!") at the appropriate point. I very carefully was not
along to see this.
