you only get to see Luke on a bunk in Empire, and briefly..

but its a tiny room with only 3 of those bunks and a tiny toilet bowl..smaller than a prison cell..

Have the Falcon Blueprints..they're pretty fascinating(if like me youre obsessed with the falcon)
I had the original toy Falcon. I seem to remember just some basic bunks for the figures but not much room for shagging or anything like that. It did have secret floor compartments, though.

any more stupid than the Sith referring to themselves as 'the dark side'? surely that would be an unspoken and understood position they held....they sound like a pathetically small gang of teenage hoodlums referring to themselves as 'the dark side'..yet there it is in the films..

Tolkien wrote about Middle Earth , post Sauron....Aragorns kingdom secure, teenage Orc cults would emerge and greed generally would spread throughout the land.


this is why there was no sequel to LOTR, all his focus was on what came before.

that doesn't bother me, in theory. To be clear, the prequels basically executed nothing well. They are just terrible---to the point that I like the original trilogy less because they made more cognizant of its flaws. But the dark side references would have been find in the hands of a more talented writer/director.
