I saw this on IMDB and thought it was hilarious...

Leia says this line to Luke in the original Star Wars, but get this:

Mark Hamill is 5 foot 7 inches. Temura Morrison, who played Jango Fett, the supposed template for the Stormtrooper clones... is 5 foot 7.25 inches.


So is Leia really that perceptive, to be able to tell a quarter inch difference (from a lying down position, no less) in height?

More fun here:

Didn't realise. I always wondered what was with that 'Little Short for a Stormtrooper' quip. Obviously bad Lucas humor. So bad no one even recognized it was a joke.

For masterful short-is-tall shooting see the martial arts fight at the start of Rambo II. Despite the meatheads Stallone plays, he's a sharp and very funny guy. His interviews are LOL material, and in his sixties he still fits Rambo's character like a glove. Harrison Ford in Indy 4 looked pathetic to compare.

Heh, there are plenty of bad jokes in the prequels and it comes off as bad writing. Actually, there are a lot of lines in the prequels that could be taken for jokes, but it's serious dialogue.

Ha ha haa! Indy 4 was an abomination.
