Princess Leia or Princess Bride?

Okay, the Nomad is on muscle relaxants today, so it is not time for deep philosophy, hard politics, or recommendations on investing. It is time for... {drum roll} ...something simple and silly. One of my favorite non-political, non-techie sites is THE STRAIGHT DOPE which is a website dedicated to answering the imponderables of life like "Why do movie phone numbers always start with 555?". The community surrounding the Straight Dope is likewise quirky and has come up with a thread comparing STAR WARS to THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Some of the more choice entries:

While fighting:

Darth: "Why are you smiling?"

Luke: "I have a secret."

Darth: "What is that?"

Luke: "I am not left-handed."



Darth chops off Luke's right hand...

Darth: You are now.

"Is that a Rodent of Unusual Size?"

"Why, no. That's my copilot, Chewbacca."

"Hello. My name is Luke Skywalker. You are my father. Prepare to die."

Gotta love it. Where is Mel Brooks when you need him?!
