   Nice Moc Mike but you obviously never listened to the Star Wars Radio Saga where R5’s “troubles” were explained. BTW the radio saga is considered canon by Lucas. Simply put, R2, in an effort to get his message to Obi-Wan made some “modifications” to R5 to ensure that a buyer in need of an astromech droid would end up with him. Of course he then tricked Luke into removing his restraining bolt to again get to Obi-Wan. It was Luke in one of his fits of whine that drove him to find R2 and the rest is history. C-3PO’s inclusion in the deal was more fortuitous than R5’s troubles as it turns out. Unfortunately the PreHistroy has been less compelling until now but I still hold out some hope for Episode III.

Hogwash! That’s just what the Rebellion wants you to believe.

If there’s three things I know for certain about Star Wars, it’s: (1.) Dark Helmet hates yogurt, especially with strawberries, (2.) when you push the yellow button on Gonk, yummy buttered toast pops up (red is for scones with jam), and (3.) although he doesn’t have the stomach for it, R5-D4 loves to eat take-out Mexican food.

Next, I bet we’ll be led to believe that Chewbacca in not really the father of the Ewoks, but just some guy in a dog costume. Phooey!

;-)

   BTW, Mike, let me know if you want to borrow the radio saga and I will bring it to a NELUG meeting for you.

Awesome! Thanks, Eric.
