In celebration of this weekend’s release of Star Wars Episode VII, I thought I’d start out with an analogy from a galaxy far, far away.
What would Luke Skywalker be without his lightsaber? How about Darth Vader without the Force, Grand Moff Tarkin without the Death Star or the Rebel Alliance without the help of the Ewoks? Who can imagine what C-3P0 would be like without R2-D2 or Han Solo without Chewbacca? And in light of recent theories, what would (Darth?) Jar Jar be without his always seemingly perfect dumb luck?
The answer to all these questions?
