    OK Robert, you got me there. That one WAS funny.

    Though if it were the other way 'round, well. Giving up immortality for Liv Tyler... hmmmmmmm, tempting

    Remind me to post the "50 reasons why Return of the Jedi sucks" from the Unofficial Guide to Star Wars. Much funnier - because most of the points are true:

    #12: Stormtroopers have suddenly become pussies "Look out - teddy bear creatures! And they've got primitive, handmade weapons! Let's forget our years of military training and advanced technology, and run away!!"

    Hmm.

    Well, I don't know about you, but having large rolling logs coming at you -- while primitive -- is very effective against any type of armor, unless you can prove to me that the SS armor can withstand the impact and crushing weight of those logs.

    Even if you fire at them, you pray that it does not become a flaming rolling logs coming at you.

    Never underestimate the natives who knows the lay of the land. A lesson learned in Vietnam and now Afghanistan.

    Then again, it's probably an officer's mistake to think that only a small party is going to sabatage the shield generator, and did not ask for a larger reinforcement unit, including an AT-AT Walker.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...
