Bantha poodoo. I always thought that was a great word, especially from the immense lips of the Star Wars Universe's love child of Rosie O'Donnell and Hillary Clinton, Jabba the Hutt. The lord of all that is slimy met his end on Tatooine but lives on in the hearts and minds of millions.

Anyway, gent sand people, do they exist? Are they a tribe on the run from their barbaric brethren? Do they braid thier Bantha's fur and ride on beaded "comfort" mats with lower back support for those long trips? One might even catch them slipping into town to Drgl'an;s Juice Bar on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. A wretched hive of scum and villany, sure, but would you look at how the people dress. give them just a little bit of color so they don't hav eto blend in with the sand.

One thing that still troubles me now is that people call Episode 1 the first movie. Sure in a chronological order it is the first in the series of movies, but A New Hope will always be the 1st Star Wars. My kids say I was watching the second movie and Anakin did this... I say, you mean Darth Vader? They say No, Anakin... I roll my eyes and say Oh, you mean Episode 2. Just cause I grew up with it makes it different for me.
