I cant' go to bed tonight without acknowledging the loss of Red 6, Jek Porkins (rather William Hootkins the actor who played him) to pancreatic cancer. For Star Wars geeks everywhere he will forever be the guy who shouted the immortal line "I can't shake him!" He took a hit and thought he could "hold it" he couldn’t... The force will be with him...always.

Oh no. I was (and am) the TOTAL Star Wars geekette-- had the entire movie memorized. Hated the fact that Biggs (who had been Luke's friend back home) got cut from the movie except for one tiny scene.
Yeah, and "Biggsie" bit it at the battle of Yavin too.
Um, ok I'll go stuff myself back in the locker now...
