Travels with Grumpus

Mickey: Who was older again, Luke or Leia?

Maya: I don’t really remember. I just sort of spaced out in the final Amidala scenes. She was such a wuss.

Mickey: Yeah. She just gave up and died. Good think the kids took after their dad in the tenacity department.

Maya: Yeah, arms and legs cut off, left for dead, burning, on a planet of molten lava, and the fight never went out of him.

Mickey: He’s just like that knight in the Monty Python movie.

Maya: You’re right! “It’s just a flesh wound!”

Mickey: Arms and legs cut off, and he was still “I’ll bite your legs off.”

Maya: Hmm. Coincidence?

Mickey: I think not.

Judge for yourselves, dear readers. Here’s the clip from the Monty Python movie, and here’s the clip from Episode 3. The bit you’ll want is at the very end.
