Big Pimpin'

So right now Cinemax is giving every Star Wars fan their greatest dream come true: they are airing all of the movies, in story order, back to back. First time ever on television. So, being the Star Wars fan that I am, I'm watching them. (I already watched them all in On Demand!)

I realized while watching The Empire Strikes Back that Han Solo is the biggest pimp of all time. After his buddy Lando sells him out to Darth Vader, right as he is about to go into the carbon freeze, Chewbacca freaks out and starts knocking Imperial troopers off the platform. Han tells him he's gotta cut that shit out because Chewy has to look after Princess Leia now, then he kisses Leia and some troopers grab him and put him in place to get frozen. He's looking at Leia, Leia's looking at him, and she says, "I love you!" And you know what Han Solo says? He says, "I know." And then they deep freeze his ass. Pimpin'! No tears, no fear, no, "I love you too." Just, "I know."

Yeah, I love Star Wars.

Our HBO/Cinemax rep was at work on Friday and she had an Internet scavenger hunt for us to do for the chance to win some pretty cool Star Wars gear from Cinemax. So I was reading an interview with George Lucas and found out that there are actually three more episodes! Episodes 7, 8, & 9. Which he says he's planning on making -- with as many original cast members as possible. But filming won't start until at least 2017, which is like what 40 years after the original trilogy came out? Get ready for an 80 year old Han Solo!! Hahahaha.... At least I'll have that to look forward to when I'm in my thirties.
