We grew up on “Star Wars.” We could outgrow it if we wanted to. But what’s the fun in that?

Seriously, I need two separate comments to convey the magnitude of my hatred for that character. And three for Shortround. No one’s talking about bringing that little bastard back!
I think you meant to put this on the previous entry…
And incidentally, there was a rumor at some point (which has now died out) that an adult Short Round would appear, now played by a cool martial-arts type as an Asian Indy type, possibly even a rival. I would’ve been up for the rival storyline actually; could’ve been interesting.

Yes, I was so cranky over this that I posted it on the wrong entry.
Incidentally, I agree that there’d be no fun in outgrowing Star Wars!
