And don't we all wish we could see the Empire's Snap-On Tools pinup calendar.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Tommyrot, that's the first thing I thought of, too. However, one suspects that Obi-Wan did own R4, the droid he was working with in Ep III, so it's really very lame. At the moment, I favour the idea that at that stage he's still half in his 'Old Ben' character and feigning ignorance, which is I admit only slightly better.
So, if Mal is most like Han, (shoots first), who's Chewbacca?

Hmmm. Zoe kicks ass and has lots of hair, but I wouldn't say it's an exact correspondence.

I'm hesitating between Jayne (fighting style) and Kaylee (helpful in engineering work).

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Chewie seemed to me to be a moderating force on Han, so I'm going with Kaylee.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I figured that Jedi don't really "own" much stuff, like the ships they fly or their droids. Being all ascetic and what-not....

So Simon and River are Luke and Leia? I guess one person's hodgeberries are another one's smooches.

I have to know--what is it about that scene that makes people think naughty things? I've seen it tons of times, before and after hearing about supposed subtext, and I do not see it. I see sibling tenderness and River being in a childike mindset, as she is wont to do, but what I don't catch is any undertone.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Anyone I finger-feed is a) incapable of feeding themself or b) someone I'm sexually intimate with or would like to be so. It's just... flirty.
