12. that would be the Moss Isely spaceport
I'll never forget my brother and I taking the 2 hour bus into Boston to watch it on opening day in May 1977.

I voted for "This is some rescue" BTW- sums it all up quite nicely and succinctly. (remember, Bush said we all needed a good dose of compassionate conservatism).

8. Anniversary Edition is somewhat better
because they have excised the dancing Ewoks. Still not good, though.

19. I voted for "other".
The quote that sums up this misadministration comes from "The Phantom Menace" by way of Jar Jar Binks-"Phew-that smells stinkerous". Brief and to the point.

21. Brief and to the point.
True, which is why I picked "some rescue". Also, it's the first movie we're talking here, although I see we crossed wires in the odor department! :)

25. i voted "wookie scream"
But "Empire Strikes Back" - the title, not necessarily the film - is a good phrase for my view of Bush's administration...

26. My quote and a bad joke...
"Democracy fails when we stop believing in it" I don't remember who says this, I think it was the new Queen of Naboo in Ep II.

And for the bad joke...

Obi-Wan and Luke are in a Chinese restaurant. Luke is trying to eat his food but his having difficulty with the chop-sticks. Obi-Wan says to him, "USE THE FORKS LUKE..."

27. Another bad joke.....
Darth Vader and Luke are sitting around the Christmas Tree...

Darth: "Luke....I know what you're getting for Christmas"

Luke: "No! You can't know!"

Darth: "Luke....I know what you're getting for Christmas!"

Luke: "How can you possibly know???!!!??"

Darth: "Luke......I have felt your presents."

Boom, ladies and gentlemen, and tish.
