UPDATED: Not So Late Nite Oddity

Filed in National by on December 9, 2008

I got this from Boing Boing:

It is by a 6 year old named Slade Oaks who, I think really captures the heart of the movie franchise.

Have you ever noticed how many arms get cut off below the elbow in the Star Wars series? Just off the top of my head there is Obi Wan Kenobi cutting off the arm of the tough guy in the cantina. There is Luke getting his hand cut off by Darth Vader. There is Luke cutting off the snow monster’s arm on the ice planet of Hoth. There is Anakin getting both arms cut off by a young Obi Wan. And I think I recall Mace Windu losing an arm.

A real Star Wars person could mentally walk through the series picking up arms here and there and stack them up like cord wood.

UPDATE: Wow! The shit you can find out on the internet tubes is amazing. turns out that the Jedi… well…. you read it if you want.

    I love the fact that the linked site is Wookiepedia.

    Wait. You actually knew the name of the ice planet is Hoth? 😆

    What’s next? You know that the Skywalkers come from the planet Tatooine? 😆

    Crap. Apparently, so do I.

    Don’t use your knowledge base here on dates. Usually a Star Wars conversation leads to no sex, whatsoever (with someone else).
