    Cal Apone One time I saw a bulletproof 1928 Cadillac on sale for a million dollars and a penny.

    Leorge Gucas Skuke Lywalker How big is Luke? It seems like I heard from one die hard Star Wars fan that he’s abnormally large as opposed to how he and other characters look on the screen.

    Take care and may God bless.

    Another item under the “George Lucas considered…” category:

    He considered requiring that Yoda toys be designed and manufactured in Japan.

    When asked why, he answered that everyone knows that Japan has the greatest expertise in making toy Yodas.

    “Likely owned”. So, someone is spending all that money and we don’t even know for sure this is the car?

    I think he should have not just made Luke a little person but made him a little kid. That would have really made the stories interesting!

    One of my instructors in college said George Lucas was inspired by “The Wizard of Oz” when he came up with “Star Wars”, so it doesn’t surprise me that Lucas thought about making Luke a little person.

    Didn’t take much to make them old cars bulletproof. Sheetmetal was so heavy it could stop a 45 caliber slug. That’s why the Super 38 Colt Automatic was developed.

    This artist has drawn Mark Hamill as a little person, as if there’s a short Hamill doppelganger Lucas could have hired. Graziano, you so crazy.

    So if Luke would’ve been a “little person” what would his mother have looked like?

    So Luke would have been played by Mark Hamlette?

    I do not think Yoda and Skywalker being the same size would have worked, or if Darth Vader and Emperor were ten times Skywalker’s size. If Yoda refused to train him because of what would have been his diminutive size, perhaps a munchkin or oompa loompa could have.

    Mark is left-handed. Glad to see the artist got that correctly.
