Why did Star Wars episodes one, two and three come out after episodes four, five, six? Because ordered by Yoda, they were.
“His name was Windu and he went out a win-DOW.”
Darth Vader sleeps with a teddy wookiee. (Very old joke from Omni magazine)
A hour and a half of brain cell-destroying, groan-inducing hell!
I ate wookie once.
It was a little chewie.
