Whoa ... he was on television just a couple of weeks ago. His collection was laid out so nicely. I feel sorry for him.

You mean the Empire? Like maybe the Death Star fired a shot a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away and it ended up hitting that guy's house? What are the odds!

Another Question: Why are stormtroopers are called stormtroopers? What's the significance of Storm. I think their white suit doesn't have anything to do with the word storm.

Didn't Hitler have stormtroopers?

With Darth Vader wearing a Third Reich-style helmet, what else would they be called. I think Lucas used that style and that name to associate those characters with what many believe to be the most evil organization of the 20th century. Stalin's secret police were not nearly as well-known, although they killed more people than Hitler's henchmen. Perhaps it was because Stalin confined his choice of victims to his own people, while Hitler did not.

Don't tell the odds to a Corellian
