Alec Guinness was already big before this movie, at least in the UK.
Seriously?
Lawrence of Arabia?
The Bridge on the River Kwai?
Doctor Zivago?
Great Expectations?
Our man in Havana?
I think Sir Alec was big all over the place, even before Star Wars. He just offered to help, because he was their only hope.
The 'Spartan' is an apple cultivar developed by Dr. R.C Palmer and introduced in 1936 from the Federal Agriculture Research Station in Summerland, British Columbia, now known as the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre - Summerland.[1] The 'Spartan' is notable for being the first new breed of apple produced from a formal scientific breeding program.[2] The apple was supposed to be a cross between two North American varieties, the 'McIntosh' and the 'Newtown Pippin', but recently, genetic analysis showed the 'Newtown Pippin' was not one of the parents and its identity remains a mystery. The 'Spartan' apple is considered a good all-purpose apple.[3] The apple is of medium size and has a bright-red blush, but can have background patches of greens and yellows.[4]
I think non-native English users make all sorts of errors, while native speakers make the constistent errors that are all over the internet.
For instance "between you and I" is the result of some mistaken political correctness, that you can never say "and me". It's horrible, it's ungrammatical and it must stop now.
"Then/than" and "your/you're" problems aren't confined to non-natives either.
PS: I am not a native speaker of English
I bet someone has. Try to do a little googling on the bird issue, for instance:
Windmills kill 58000 to 440000 birds in US per year.
Domestic cats kill 3.7 billion (3700000000) birds in US per year.

Samuel Hahnemann was the sole inventor of homeopathy, "not one of the first". And apparently he built a time machine too, and travelled from the "invention" of homeopathy in 1807 to become "key to the development" of vaccination in 1796. Amazing!
Later he theorized that all disease originates from coffee.
For audiophiles there is a special spray can with gold dust, that makes the wifi signals sound much better. Just spray it around your head, when you are using the earbuds.
That sounds right. I also think we have a gene that allows us, even urges us, to make stone tools. But in the aquatic ape, forced to swim with the stone tools, that gene was... suppressed.

What's the alternative to being Mark Hamill?
I don't know... Being John Malkovich?
Don't repeaty yourself (DRY).
Didn't you just say that?
You might be thinking of Spartacus. Spartans never set Rome on fire.

Yoda, stop posting as anonymous coward!
It's the continental version.
The US had 57 cities larger than Iceland
Oh? What happened to them?
I'll help, put me in a rotating spaceship and I'll shoot them down...

I took the the first two links to pop up to show that someone has been studying it. I provided the links, so you can go check.

Shakespeare is suing 1000 chimpanzees.
Yeah, the lines are definitely blurred...
So humans come from Afar?

but what else would you expect from a capricorn...
You're wrong, speeding past red light is forbidden, but green is OK.
OK, we'll call it ionforged, then.
And in my neighbourhood you are not allowed to have wireless dogs running around.
If it is indeed so, then "then" and "than" are completely interchangable judging from internet use.
Yeah, I remember the search engine for it: Bada Bing!

I'm a moron too. I can't see how your string method assures right angles? Please enlighten me.
