That's the one I reference in my opening post.

Just feels heavy-handed and forced, like there's no real reason for them to take this route. I get the tie-in to last year, sure. But it doesn't seem quite enough. Just an excuse to stir up the Star Wars nerds (I'm one) again. But I'm not that easily bought.



In any case, we know this must take place the same afternoon Ben and Luke visited. The walrus guy's right arm is missing(!) and it's the same crowd, wearing the same clothes (I, for one, appreciate the waist-down view of the two black-haired vixens...we never saw that in 1977).
