...so she's not as overspecialized as R2-D2, or put in the training that Luke has.

...idk she could probably beat up Han any day

Han VS Leia comes down to who hits who first, at least in a shootout. By Rot J Luke is totally out of their league cause of the whole "Laser sword and super precognitive reflexes" deal.

Everyone is non-combat orientated compared to Luke, and comic!Han sees more action (though only in ESB, Leia is at the front during most of the ANH Death Star scenes, and the fight parts of Rot J) cause Jim built him that way. Leia's probably most "balanced" character in the group (beyond Pete's mixmaxing).

Both characters, at least in the EU (and going by movie evidence) are fantastic shots. Han might have an edge due to his customized blaster though.

The line itself was super cheesy but fine as was. The delivery was what brought it to the level it's at now.

I think it could have worked if Padme had laughed at Anakin for trying to turn sand into a romantic metaphor.

Instead, the movie tried to play it seriously, and it fell flat.

I didn't write any of that.

So, does Jim fire at Lando and miss, hitting the tentacle as part of failing for shooting into close combat? Or does he succeed at hitting the tentacle?

Guess we find out on Thursday.tongue

Perhaps he fires to hit Lando, hit the tentacle, and pretends that is what he meant to do. When he betrays the Rebellion yet again on Endor (How else could the Imperials set up a trap for them?) it is revealed that he was really trying to kill Lando. Either that or he was really trying to save Lando, but only to fool everyone else into trusting him.

How did they manage to miss the light saber when they searched R2?

The orb is probably in the Dune Sea right now. It'll just take 1 minute to fish out... mainly because 1 minute is just about all the time that R2 has overboard.

It will probably remain lost.
