One of the SW novels I've read, I can't remember which one now, has Han looking back at that time, and he says that the only reason he had come back was because his hyperdrive didn't work, and couldn't leave. I thought that was interesting. Adam (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

How about a scaled-down Tantive IV? I realize that building it true minifig-scale would be prohibitive, but they could make it big enough to cram two minifigs in the cockpit and maybe one in a gun turret. Throw in a small escape pod, use the X-Wing (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Er, I'll have to disagree wth you there. Han's opinion of Luke goes from "Watch your mouth, kid, or you're going to find yourself floating home" to "You're pretty good in a fight. We could use someone like you." He's offering to make Luke part (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
