		<description>rickb... funny how so many people just don&#039;t get that ending, isn&#039;t it?

As for the Robot Chicken stuff, I&#039;d seen the &quot;go for Papa Palpatine&quot; bit some time ago on YouTube, and thought it was hilarious. It&#039;s still one of the best segments in the whole special, but there were quite a few good ones. I&#039;m going to watch it again now.</description>

		<description>Phil -- thanks for the link.  The &quot;Contact&quot; quote is perfect.

Gaijin51 -- Phil&#039;s quoting Jodie in &quot;Contact&quot;, when she travels through the wormhole and realizes there&#039;s a hell of a good universe next door.

(Which is a quote from e.e. cummings.  I&#039;ll stop there.)</description>

The blog post says:
&quot;No words. Shouldâ€™veâ€¦ sent a poet.&quot;

There is no link to anything, and no clue what is referred to.

		<description>One question.  That janitor guy. First he cleaned up Darth Maul&#039;s corpse.  Then he cleaned up someone else&#039;s .  And finally he cleaned up The Emperor&#039;s corpse.  Who was the guy in the middle supposed to be?  I can&#039;t remember that part from any of the movies.</description>
