I was sent this via Twitter, so I gave it a go.

A diagram of a "Hall of Heroes" for women in sci-fi. The pic is here. How many do you know?

List 10 tv shows/movies/books

Because sometimes we all need a pep talk:

I may or may not have bought Space Jam today, and this video may or may not have had a hand in that. I also may or may not use the phrase "not cool, Robert Frost" way too often in my normal conversation, but I'm so not ashamed of that. *grin* Kid President is one of the best things to happen to the ( Read more... )

20 - Jedi or Sith

Have you been paying any attention at all? Probably not, but if you have, you don't need me to answer this question. I'll do it anyway, though. Suffice to say there has never been any doubt whatsoever in this regard. From day one, my allegiance was clear, and it has never wavered.

JEDI.

19 - Favorite Battle

Yavin. As much as I love Endor, Yavin nudges it out, because even with as many times as I've seen it, I still get nervous when that little red wedge reaches the planet as the Death Star comes into firing range. There seems to be genuine peril involved. I'm still worried that Han won't show back up, and I'm sad for R2-D2 when he ( Read more... )

18 - Favorite Duo/Friendship

In light of something I've just written tonight, this is an ironic question. You'll see why later, but for now, suffice to say that said piece of writing details much about a certain Skywalker and why I love him more than a certain Solo. It's ironic that I wrote that tonight and am answering this question now because ( Read more... )

17 - Funniest Scene

To be honest, there isn't much laugh-out-loud humor in Star Wars, at least not to me. There are fun remarks about "professors" and "nerfherders" and "laserbrains," and I love them all, but the line that gets me every time?

Han: "I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big, dark blur, I see a big, light blur."
Luke: "There' ( Read more... )

16 - Favorite Villain

Is this a trick question? Because, I mean, seriously. Got to go with "the blackest brother in the galaxy." I'll spell it out, in case you somehow can't figure out that description, but seriously? Yeah.

Darth Vader.

15 - A character you wish was in the saga more.

Lando.It'd be fun to know more about a lot of things about that pirate-turned-businessman.

Also? She makes a good point.

I'd add a few reasons of my own to her list, though. *grin* Namely:

He doesn't waste time with the chain of command when it matters: "We've got to be able to get some sort of reading on ( Read more... )

14 - A moment that breaks your heart

Well, this be the one that makes me reach for the EU. Honestly, there isn't a moment in the OT (or the PT, either, for that matter) that I would describe as heartbreaking. Heart stretching, perhaps, but there's just no rending there for me.

But when Mara Jade is forced to destroy the Jade's Fire, the only thing ( Read more... )
