4. "You rebel scum!"
3. The gold bikini
2. "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
1. "Yub Yub"
top moment for me....Vader's redemption and chunking Palps over the ledge.Fat Bib Fortuna said:

It will always be canon to me.double aught said:
The original trilogy has been on TNT all day.
Question: Is the only time Boba Fett's name is said in the trilogy when Han says "Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where?" just before his apparent demise?
I was unaware.fig96 said:
Yup.
But actual first movie where Boba Fett is mentioned by name: E.T.
Well, in actuality, I would say the first official naming of those characters came on the cardboard cards to which the action figures that Elliot was showing to E.T. came in back in, '78 or '79.Fat Bib Fortuna said:
Also the first naming of Walrusman and Snaggletooth!
E.T. is the reason I knew any of these names as a kid. (Including Boba Fett and Lando Calrissian.)Fat Bib Fortuna said:

Falcon ride is frustrating in terms of "gameplay". The visuals and simulator are pretty dang good.Fat Bib Fortuna said:
Headed to Florida next week for our triumphant return to Disney. Kids won't know we're going until the morning of.
Doing the cantina this time, and after telling my girls they have to share a droid for a year, going to go ahead and splurge and get them one each.
Also going to allow my wife to fly the Falcon. God help us all!
Did that for my daughter's second trip to WDW, Thanksgiving 2013. Wife pulled her out of school under the guise of going to a doctor, when she got home from school she was surprised to see me waiting for her, and I told her (keeping in mind we left on a Wednesday) that the Aggies had a football game out of town (they did, LSU) that we were going to. But the fib didn't last long, and the wife and I both looked at each other then at her and said, nah, we're going to Disney World! The look on her face was priceless.Fat Bib Fortuna said:

Details of the Falcon ride in spoiler tags in case you don't want to know
There are two pilots, kind of. One controls your vertical motion, one controls the horizontal motion. It's almost impossible to not bump into a ton of things as you're going. From there, others are shooting at bad guys, etc. and it's a lot of fun. I just was one of the pilots my first time and was frustrated at how ridiculous the flying part of it was.
Rise of the Resistance is the best ride at Disney. (IMO) Right up there, above Flight of Passage. It was a little better pre-COVID when the cast members were able to get into the character of the ride and interact with the guests (imagine the Star Wars version of the cast members at the elevator for Tower of Terror), but still, it's remarkable. Go in without watching online videos if you can.
When my wife and I went in November we did the Falcon twice. Just the two of us in the cockpit. 2nd go around, I stood between the chairs and control vert & horizontal. It was awesomeCoachRTM said:Falcon ride is frustrating in terms of "gameplay". The visuals and simulator are pretty dang good.Fat Bib Fortuna said:
