This is an amusing listing of the essential lines from people's votes in the "other" poll, Sorted to add the flavor of randomness. P.S. Remember I said I just wanted votes, not reasons?! =========================================================================== Jedi have more fun May the force be with you! Not afraid to sound ridiculous, will destroy themselves. CANNOT save herself. but I just have a feeling that he (she?) isn't. class suburban kids don't get excited seeing a black man rescuing a white princess. Princess Leia(not born kit). ... is simply Princess Leia. Lucas doesn't seem to be into But my wife wants to put a vote in for some long lost relative of Chewie -- see explanation for Lando Darth -- hmm. Nah, the fight would be too easy. For what its worth, Han Solo -- too undisciplined Here are 2 votes for your "Other" survey. As for me "I don't care". I believe the other is actually "an"other. Just another time for I feel the other is Boba Fett. I think He will be (Yoda!!!(just kidding) Han Solo or the Son of I vote for Lando. I vote for a-character-to-be-seen-later. I can only assume Lando -- no offense intended, but he's black, and middle- Luke's. Does he have any? Obi Won -- dead Princess -- in action movies, the princess gets saved, she R2D2/C3PO -- too slow on their feet Solo. Yoda -- possibly, can't think of a good reason why not, I'd bet a quarter that the 'other' is a new character or I'm definitely a "don't care." My vote: OB-2 Kenobi. I vote for Lando, as hints have it he will play a major role in RotJ. "other," Yoda (but not OB?!) would possibly have to have been able (Han, Leia, Darth, etc) have shown strong enough signs of the Force, (What a cynic!) (and Vader's) lifetime. During that war Vader, a mighty Jedi, was captured (seriously). The obvious candidates are The Princess and Han Solo. On (who will be born during tRotJ). Actually, it look like everyone is making way too much out At any rate, perhaps through that battle Vader has already been conquered, Boba Fett Boba Fett. Count one vote for Leia. Darth Vader (sp?) Estimated-Chance-Of-Arrival: 20% (I don't trust UUCP mail) Flame on! Gary Peterson (if not him, then I won't know 'till the movie). George Lucas seems to like [big] twists; he also seems to be nonsexist, Han Solo I am just planning to wait for ROTJ and enjoy the film. Mark down my vote I don't care. I fully expect to be wrong. I think it's Princess Leia. I think that the "other" must be Leia, but if it's true that the I think that the discussion of who the OTHER is is an interesting and I think the "other" is Han Solo. I think the other is: Mr. Spock. I vote for Boba Fett. I vote for Bobba Fett (sp?) cause Lucas is smart enough to know the I vote for Darth Vader, if for no other reason than he's an interesting guy. I vote for Han Solo as the Other. I vote for Leia. Remember that Yoda was concerned that Luke was too old. I vote for no one....I don't think that the "other hope" is I'm fairly sure about what/who it's not. It is not Leia's child; this just I'm not convinced it's not Boba Fett or Darth himself. Is this poll related to the question (way back when) about who the Other is It also isn't Lando; it wouldn't be fitting to have a newcomer save the day. It is clear that the other could only be Luke's severed hand, Lando Calrissian Leia Leia Luke's father: Luke is sensitive enough to the force that he "feels" the truth Mark me down as don't care. Master (or Teacher) to do this. So we're back to the Princess My opinion is that "the Other" is a stub, inserted so that a future My vote for the Other is: no person. The hope is that Luke and Vader My vote for the other is Lando Calrissian (sp?). My vote for the other is R2D2, given that no new (major) character My vote is Han. My vote is for Luke's & Leia's yet-to-be-born son OK, here's my entry in The Great "Other" Speculation Sweepstakes: OK, now I'll go out on a limb and tie all this nonse.se together: the last Okay, then. I think that the "Other" is Vader. Luke is, of course, On the other burning issue of TESB, I for one have no doubt that Darth is Other Poll: My vote: Han Solo. P.S. Hope to see the list of categories-- let alone the count of Please include the Question the poll was addressing , along with the Please let me know how other people have speculated about this. Princess Leia Re: "Other votes" Reasoning: Recall, he quietly diddled with the controls on the side of the block So, my guess: We still haven't seen how Obi-wan is to become "more powerful Someone we haven't seen yet.
