Last words (?) on Other/etc.- Flame on- It appears that the main reason that Leia is ignored/discounted as being even a serious candidate for the Other is because she's a SHE (gasp). SF has always been known to be the last refuge of MCPs, so what can you expect? Flame off- Re: "Goodness" of exit of BF's ship. Yes, it is tinged in positive/emotional colors and sound, and it indeed is "in honor" of someone on that ship, but we already know there is a good guy aboard. Think about- (Stumped, here's a hint- his initials are H.S.) Time to start a new discussion- Question: Who's in charge here? The SW movies so far seem to be extremely vague about the leadership of the rebels/Alliance. Why? Who is in charge, where are they, what is their future role in a post-empire government? Princess Leia appears to be the highest ranking royalty, assuming the Alliance is organized along those lines. Luke is said to be in charge of the rebel forces on Hoth though, despite the fact he is merely "Commander" while there is Leia and a general around. (Apparently even in the SW universe, no on ehas figured out that separation of services is a bad idea, the empire also suffers from the same problem.) If we knew who the true leaders of the rebels are, we could figure out whjo comes out ahead in RotJ. FtG rocheste!
