With whom does Lando Calrissian have smoking hot sexual chemistry?
This only applies to people who watched a New Hope unspoiled for subsequent events: Did you think Luke/Leia was endgame ship?
For those same people in #3, were you sad when the ship focus shifted to Han/Leia?
Han and Chewbacca have totally had sex.
Naturally--just two BFFs giving each other a hand out there on the raggedy edge

Well, they kinda had to on that one planet; it was a condition of their release from one sort of penal servitude to another; and it was televised

How do you think the next movie should deal with Carrie Fisher's death?
Best fandom to cross over with Star Wars? Tell me why in comments.

Amidala was great in the first two. Such a pity she was turned simpering and useless in the third. Apparently there was a scene where she was going behind Anakin's back to start the resistance; can't remember if it was shot or not, but damn I wish it had been in there. It adds a real interesting tension to her telling Anakin not to keep secrets, and makes her uselessness a cunning front while she does something of consequence other than give birth.
Jar Jar is kind of a stupid character, but he's for kids, so whatever. He's not nearly as toxic as Jake Lloyd's Anakin. Lucas was a monster to put that poor talentless kid in that role.

I do remember that young Anakin's actor didn't bother me, but I really didn't like Hayden Christensen as adolescent Anakin.
It's so fascinating how we all react so differently to the same media. I love it.

I didn't think Hayden Christensen was good, but Lucas managed to get pretty wooden performances out of Neeson, McGregor and Portman who are fantastic actors (and Liam Neeson made a whole career out of being amazing in utter dreck), so I don't hold it against Christensen that he couldn't shine beyond the directing. I mean, I don't think there's an actor out there who could have delivered that godawful dialogue sincerely. And I didn't find the character any more annoying and whiney than Luke in the originals, so I was fine with him.
I saw TPM a few times because I loved the fandom even if I only liked about thirty minutes of the movie. I think I only saw eps 2 and 3 once each in the cinema? I'm a fan of the idea of Star Wars much more than the actual movies. :-D I've enjoyed the new ones, though.
