ESB and ANH question

Yeah but it was Chewie who conviced Han to return and help Luke.

Yeah but I bet the Rebellion didn't know that. I must say that he still deserved the medal though, even if Han did do most of the work (I assume).

Yeah.I feel bad for that poor Wookie.

Don't you think Wedge kind of deserved one too? I mean he took part in the battle and I'm pretty sure he saved Luke's life at some point. He certainly should have got one too.

Biggs deserved a medal posthumously for taking that last laser blast for Luke that killed him, although they couldn't have done that since they cut the Luke/Biggs reunion scene out of the original version of ep4.

You can't give a medal to a dead man.You can honor them but you can't give them medals.

Yes, I agree. That's why Wedge should have also got a medal as he survived. Not because he nessecarily saved anyone or done a great job but because he survived. Any other pilots who survive should get a medal too just for taking part in the succesful battle.

Yeah, EJ, I guess thats what I really meant to get across, that Biggs should be at least honored in some way, not necessarily with a medal. Wedge deserves one too, although I would like to point out that in the novel, Chewie does get a medal in the ceremony with Luke and Han.

That fat dude,Porkins,deserved one too.

What kind of name is Porkins?

What kind of name is Qui-Gon?

I don't think Qui-Gon is that bad. At least its actually Star-Wars-ish. Porkins sounds like a type of food. Pieces of ham dipped in barbecue sauce I reckon.

DD, I'm laughing my flippin head off. Qui-Gon is acceptable as a Jedi name, but Porkins sounds like a southern states restaurant chain. "Ya'll come down to Porkins' where you just have to stick your fork in". What a great jingle !!!!

Amidala isn't quite normal ethier.

HA HA! 😂 I like your joke, Gundark! Glad you liked mine too.

I think Amidala is fine. It certainly sounds like a name from Naboo.

I don't know how George comes up with half these names, yet almost all of them sound just exactly right the first time you hear them. Except some..like...Jar Jar. Or Porkins. 😂

I write quite a lot of Star Wars novels and I think of names just by randomly punching in a few keys in and then adding in vowels in between the letters.

I think he takes preexisting names and just sticks in random letters 🙂

And I always thought Porkins was goofy too 🙂

I don't like the name Yoda.Sounds to Gundi like to me.😂

Yeah I can see why you think that, but I've got so used to the name now that I don't mind it at all. I think Boba doesn't really suit a tough bounty hunter. A boba sounds like a little cuddley furry rodent or something.
