| I think if someone like Lucas took The Lord of the Rings and retold it as a space-opera instead of making Star Wars that Samwise Gamgee would be a droid.
And later people on a forum would be debat ... |

| I think that because it's obvious to me that a programmer could set up a droid to say "Ow" instead "My cranial...". And would do so to make the product easier to interact with.

| Those figures look great. I remember some of the old Ral Partha figures in the pictures, but I don't think I ever acquired any of them.
So a character and 15 warriors is probably where I will concl ... |

The Anointed People are finally underway. I have (as of last night) in hand at least one of every pose shown in the orig ... |

| Suthep do you think 3PO is the norm? You seem to have given both answers.
Like I said before. Being able to function normally with his limbs ripped off is an indication that 3-PO doesn't feel pain. ... |

TauntaunScout, you forgot to add snark quotes to this post. I can't believe you meant to have this post taken seriously. I mean, c'mon, comparing self-aware people like C-3PO and R2-D2 to toasters? ... |
