Please, write titles appropriate to your subject matter. I almost skipped this
article!

Not to flame you or anything, but you seem to have missed the main plot device
of the movie. Vader tortured Han and Leia so that Luke would sense their pain
and come to him. Simple as that, but the characters didn't put it together for
a while. Watch the movie again carefully, and you'll see Ben and Leia both
explain this.

I've heard that 200mph figure too, but my solution is simply not to believe
it. I prefer to think the bikes are moving at 60-80mph, which is plenty fast
in a forest. Leia did in fact take a pounding from the fall; she was knocked
out. Luke is of course a Jedi and gets to cheat at everything.

>In ANH, is Greedo considered to be a bounty hunter or just one of Jabba's
>'henchmen'?

I think he was a bounty hunter hired by Jabba. In the novel, Han comes upon
Jabba later on and says "next time...don't send one of your hired twerps."
 
>In ROTJ, Luke struggles vainly to get Vader to the shuttle at the end of the
>movie.  Why didn't he use the force to levitate him to the ship?

Because he was exhausted, distracted, and in a hurry, and because it would
have looked wierd instead of dramatic. Besides the fact that it would have
gotten a lot of attention from the troopers, etc. running around.

>In TESB, who is this Hobby that Luke keeps referring to during the

>the film?

Sure, he's a pilot. Who cares what he looks like, but if you're a REAL SW nut,
you'll know that he says "Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?" earlier on.

>In ANH, how does Porkins (Red 9?) die?  It is just a malfunction in his ship
>or did he get caught in some sort of magnetic field?

I thought hewas shot down. But I could be mistaken.

Yeah, this is much more interesting.

>Flames Welcomed!

OK, you asked for it...Why, you scum-sucking peahead with a lousy physique,
skinny little one-man losing streak...you're nothing but a pecil-necked geek.
Why don't you get a life instead of posting on this loser newsgroup? You
stuck-up half-witted scruffy-looking nerf-herder.
