  1. Spoiler that eases the mind... by riptide_dot · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Warning - this is a spoiler. Don't read the italics if you really don't want to know what happens:

     At flick's end, Threepio and Artoo are given to Captain Antilles (with the caveat that the Protocol's memory be wiped).

    Count me as one fan that's really glad that this little detail was included - I was wondering how they were going to deal with Threepio and R2D2 not recognizing Obi-Wan and others they had met in the prequels. Kind of makes Obi's reaction to seeing the droids in EP4 seem a little more mysterious too, even though that probably wasn't the intention when EP4 was shot ("I don't recall owning any droids").

    I was in the park the other day wondering why frisbees get bigger and bigger the closer they get - and then it hit me.
