Oh, there are always issues in slash with Gotta Find The Lube. So there tends to be a lot of "oh hey, look, I have some in my pocket!" or whatever.

Thrive to spite them
There was a very funny story -- Sentinel I think -- about lube issues, and was inspired by a tale of cooking spray being used for lube.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I spent the whole damn movie waiting for
In Fay's defense, the "Vader was scarred by Obi-Wan knocking him into a lava pit" thing has been known since around the time of the original trilogy.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
It was?? But - it wasn't in the movies themselves (according to the BF it was in interviews from around the time of TESB - which, by the way, came out when I was 7 so I wasn't exactly in the know about those kind of things) - and since it was more or less the denouement (sp?) of RoTS, maybe she could have held off for a bit.
I don't know - I just wished I hadn't come into the thread last week. And that made me sad, 'cause I like the Buffistas.

It was never in the movies (and ESB came out when I was 4) but as far as I knew it was pretty common knowledge, at least among fandom. I believe EM even talked about it in an interview pre-RotS about how excited he and HC were about being able to do that fight scene and making sure that they were both able give it their all to make it as fantastic as possible.
I personally hate being spoiled and I can understand where you're coming from because of that. I'm just saying that I think most people in Sci-Fi fandom consider it common knowledge and, while I can't speak for Fay, I'd imagine it never pinged her as being remotely spoilery because of it.

Since alchohol is a big component of cooking spray, all I can say is OUCH!

If I only had a brain...
Same here; I've known Darth Vader had lava-pit issues as long as I've known he was Luke's father.

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

I have to give a golf clap to a fic writer I recently read who used sunscreen for just such a purpose. It made sense as something people would logically have near at hand, and bonus points for a character commenting "that's gonna sting!"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I am kind of mad that you spoiled me for RoTS with your tag.
Damn, I'm so sorry.
But I'm also much, much stupider than the rest of the world, because I didn't even give a moment's thought to the implications of the quotation, beyond the fact that it made me laugh. Um. I hadn't seen the movie myself at the time that I chose it for a tag, and when I did see the movie I wasn't actually expecting the implied scene. It's only reading your response that I've gone "Huh. Oh yeah, I should've been expecting that..."
Which just goes to show how uninterested I was in what was going to happen plotwise, I suppose. Um. Or that I'm actually the world's biggest bimbo. Or that the whole merit sticker thing just struck me as immensely funny.
Will change tag.
