Why Star Wars: A New Hope had the most awkward medal award scene, ever.

[boundbooks]

My theory in "A New Hope"...is that right after destroying the Death Star, Han, Leia, and Luke had the galaxy's most ILL-ADVISED threesome while drunk on Romulan ale or whatever the hell they drink a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

I mean, say that it was so awkward that they never spoke of it again, so awkward that finding out that Luke and Leia were siblings only made it slightly more awkward. (I think Han had always idly fantasized about doing it with a pair of twins, but then when it turned out that he actually had he felt retroactively really skeeved out.)

Assuming this makes the medal ceremony scene, like, 60 times funnier

Thank you for making me inhale my soda, and let me tell you, those ice cubes hurt when you try to sneeze them back out.

OMG, I'm laughing so hard right now. That's fantastic, and I will never be able to watch that scene again without thinking of this.

Ahaha! *giggle* That would explain a lot yes. :D

[thedeadcat]

Dude, totally! What else would Han have been winking about?! :D

[archersangel]

that does explain the wink & the somewhat naughty fly-boy grin.

[fannishnonsense]

OMG, that is amazing.

So I read this and then went and watched the medal scene...and ended up laughing so hard I scared the cat. The glances XD XD

Another little piece of my innocence gone, but oh so worth it xD

It is totally the most awkward glance-filled medal scene ever. XD

neigedens is a genius for bringing this truth to light. :P
