Nice guy: Luke Skywalker
Bad boy: Han Solo
Good example. I also shows how in stories where a woman has to choose between them she takes the bad boy. Although in this case the nice guy is also her brother.... |

I don't think she knew about that when she chose, but it's been a long time since I saw it so I'm not sure. Are you familiar with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Riley in season 4 is a nice guy and Spike in season 6 is a bad boy. |

"Tenthly, one should pour tea into the cup first. This is one of the most controversial points of all; indeed in every family in Britain there are probably two schools of thought on the subject. The milk-first school can bring forward some fairly strong arguments, but I maintain that my own argument is unanswerable. This is that, by putting the tea in first and stirring as one pours, one can exactly regulate the amount of milk, whereas one is liable to put in too much milk if one does it the other way round."

And she says in the last movie "Somehow, I've always known". Though really, that seems like kind of a big flaw in Yoda's plan to split them up, raise them separately, then (presumably) get them both on his side. What is she didn't "know"? Really, the way Luke watched Leia in the hologram, you'd expect Obi-Wan to ...........say something. |

It always made me mad that Princess Leia went for Han instead of Luke (forgetting about the fact that they are brother and sister, which was obviously thrown in there at the last minute to tie up some things in the last movie). Luke was willing to risk his life to save her, while Han would have let her rot if he hadn't been promised a load of cash. Luke treats her with kindness, Han acts like a jerk toward her. Luke throws his heart and soul into her cause, Han takes his money and runs, only to come back at the last second and take half the credit once everyone else has died doing the real work. And if she just had to have a scoundrel, she passed up another better choice:  I mean, look at this dude. Now that's smooth. Plus, he owns his own mining operation and Han owes money to a gangster. Who is going to be a better provider? He also has a far superior fashion sense. Look at that cape - now that's stylin'. Plus he has the smoothest opening line ever - "Hellooooo, what have we here?" That should have been it right there. So the selfless hero and the smooth, successful businessman get passed up in favor of Han Solo, whose only accomplishment is being a the biggest bum in the galaxy. Nice move there, Princess. Women  |

"THE LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 26:1)
"And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." — Clement, bishop of Rome
"I love truth," says he, "and not sects. I am sometimes a peripatetic, a stoic, or an academician, and often none of them; but—always a Christian. To philosophise is to love wisdom; and the true wisdom is Jesus Christ. Let us read the historians, the poets, and the philosophers; but let us have in our hearts the gospel of Jesus Christ, in which alone is perfect wisdom and perfect happiness." — Petrarch
