lawpoop's Journal: Help us, Gennady, you're our only hope.

I loved original Star Wars Trilogy growing up, and heck, I still do! But now that I can watch them with a critical eye, there are some things that are really starting to bug me.

Episode 6: Han is frozen in carbonite, trophy/prisoner/wallpiece of Jabba the Hut. The Gang must rescue him. Luke, the leader, hatches a plan. What exactly is it?!

Here's what we know:

• C3PO presents himself and R2-D2 as gifts.
• Leia, dsiguised as a bounty hunter, brings a captive Chewbacca in, purportedly for the bounty.
• Luke shows up and tries to mind wrestle Jabba.
• Lando retired from politics and got a second job as a guard in Jabba's palace.

Okay... So, at least the droids were in on Luke's plan. R2-D2 was smuggling Luke's light sabre. But Leia and Chewie? WTF? Were they unable to get a hold of Luke before hand? What exactly was Lando's part? Lend a hand when the original plan fell apart?

So, to summarize Luke's plan: get everyone in Jabba's palace, and take it from there. Moral: Lucas SUXXOR as a screen writer. George, if you're listening, cut your losses and turn episode 3 over to Gennady Tartakovsky, immediately.

Help us, Gennady, you're our only hope.
