that's 'cause a droid don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose

I've finally gotten around to watching my shiny new Star Wars DVDs. As a result I've got something to add to the "I Need To Get Out More" file: the line "Only Imperial stormtroopers could be so precise" gave me an exceedingly disturbing mental image of puritanical stormtroopers.

Because, you know, "precisian" used to be a synonym for "Puritan," in the seventeenth century, and I made a big deal about that in my Measure for Measure paper?

I really do need to get out more.

Also, my love for Alec Guinness is very great. :D

puritans have less fun, measure for measure, dorkery, twelfth night
