I'm going to need you to write a note to everyone in my office explaining why I just cracked up like a mad man. This place is dead quiet and I'm busting a gut.

I have a feeling that any note written by some random guy on the Internet about touching dicks is only going to make your situation worse.

You doubt the people I work for.

Our white board in the break/meeting room is filled with a hand written discussion on one of our employees' sack and urine.

Funniest line in movie history, uttered by a Jedi Knight no less:

"Only Imperial Storm troopers are so precise"

LOL - WHAT?!?!?!?

I think the only important person they hit in all of the movies was Leia, and they didn't even kill her.

Just tell them you have a new team building exercise you would like to implement in the office.

Is the Holiday Special considered canon? lol...even if the SW nerds consider it canon, even if Lucas shits out the words "this is canon" should it be?

Anything Star Wars related that George Lucas has directly taken part in is considered top level canon in the universe. So yes, this includes the Holiday Special. In fact it overrides the comics, books, and other expanded universe material. Whether it should be in there is a different story. The same argument can be made for the prequels as well.

And no, Boba Fett didn't kill Owen and Baru. Obi-wan says it was storm troopers. They burned their house down with them in it. Obi-wan would have known who Fett was.

The only other people on the planet who would have done it where Sand People, Jawas, Jabba's goons and Storm Troopers. Even if you add the other races in the galaxy, they are all pretty crappy shots...even the Rebels. So Obi-wan was right, from a certain point of view.

Maybe he was suicidal over Luke leaving and possibly revealing to the local authorities what he had done to Luke as a child.

He could have shot up the place, burned Aunt Beru and then doused himself in gasoline and burned himself up to make it look like Jawas or Stormtroopers had done it.

It would explain the scene when Luke returned from the Cantina after a night of partying with Obi Wan.

Aunt Beru wouldn't allow him his $50k new @ MSRP dream car, the Elise.

Uncle Owen was sad he had to wear full body armor/leather everyday just to get milk.
