Han was all about shot placement when he smoked Greedo though.

The only problem I see with the image is the bore is too small - more like 9mm rather than .45. And we all know Old Ben wouldn't've carried a nine (but maybe Vader).

Ok, not knowing anything about the history of cinema, I had to look this up. The Star Wars Jedi theme was based on the history of the sword wielding samurai.

The classic Japanese samurai film genre is best represented by the movie "Yojimbo", directed by Akira Kurosawa. It concerned the wanderings of a masterless samurai.

This Japanese film was remade in the Leone film "A Fistful of Dollars", featuring Eastwood in his first incarnation as the Man with no Name, in 1964. Eastwood's character carried a Colt Single Action Army.

Therefore, Obiwan Knobe would have carried a revolver.

Darth Vader carried a Glock 41 with a 26 round stick magazine. Obiwan is dead. Darth Vader killed him. Kenobi’s elegant 1911 was no match for the brutish power of the G41.

......at least that’s how Spock tells it...... :mrgreen:

Star Wars. The first movie to come out was good and you ought to see it. Discretion is advised with the rest as they decline from there.

You listed off some obscure references there for not being a Sci-Fi nerd. I'm calling closet Trekkie :biggrinjester:
