I suppose, I never got into all the non-film stuff.
And that wasn't Han I paraphrased, BTW. It was the Imperial officer Vader choked on the first Death Star.

That's where Han supposedly got his military uniform pants from. He was kicked out when he rescued Chewbacca, who was a slave he saw being abused. That's why Chewie then followed him around. It wasn't mentioned in one of the novels, it was mentioned in like a dozen of them, at least. It was first mentioned in the Marvel comics in the late 70s I think. I've known it for so long I really can't remember when I first heard it, but I'm pretty sure I knew it before ROTJ came out!
It's not mentioned in the movies because, well, it's not important. How Han and Chewie got together is irrelevant for those stories, as is Han's personal history. All that's important is that they're smugglers who've been around the galaxy a few times.

I always preferred Star Trek over Star Wars. That said, I could enjoy Star Wars as well. 'The Empire Strikes Back' is just a tremendously great movie. Oh, and by the way... the best Sci-fi show of the 90s used to be Babylon 5.

It's hardly like there can be a new entrant to "best SF show of the 90s" over 10 years later...

Other than her VO work in Family Guy, I'm not sure what else she might find for herself out there.

Wheels There's a saying in Hollywood that apathy is the biggest enemy of any celebrity. Even negative press is better than no press.

Stints on Celebrity Rehab don't exactly add up to jobs.

Star Trek has no great villians, even Khan wasn't that great of a villian to me.
Not to get into a nerd flamewar but I think Star Trek has had plenty of compelling villains. Khan, Shinzon, Kruge, General Chang and Q to name just a few.

Don't forget about the Gorn. That was an epic Star Trek villian.  Wheels

It's starting to sound like the east coast vs west coast rap wars. Tupac vs Biggie. Are we going to start seeing the 2 "crews" doing drive-bys against each other? Not sure whether Shatner or Fisher would be Biggie, though.

Fisher lost weight recently. Shatner did not. Dilemma solved.
