I think it’s that post-It’s Walky! fans have been given lots more basis to care about Danny and Amber and Sal than about Jason.

Awww i wished i’d known about the poll too….. it does surprise me too that that’s the result considering the set up for it…. unless he has another set up and that’s just a decoy…..
Idk.
Ikaru
Oh darn. I would have voted Sal/Jason. Too bad I missed that.
Sarah’s defeatism seems to be the real issue here. Her soul being a Dark Pit of Nothing (my, how Goth) has more to do with what a shrink would tell her (which she could dismiss with ‘that’s not what Raidah thinks’ excuse, I’m sure) is a fear of success. Sooo much pressure when you stop writing yourself off as a lost cause. Oh the horrors of it all.
“Abandon all hope”—if you remember Paul Southworth’s Krazy Larry, I believe the eponymous character once requested that tattooed on his ass.
I rather miss that comic; I seem to recall reading it around the first time I started reading Willis (I forget whether it was Roomies or It’s Walky at that point).

I was actually referring to Adam Warren’s “Dirty Pair” – the character Yuri got the phrase I quoted tattooed on her abdomen just below her belly button, with an arrow pointing downward.
That was one of my favorite jokes in that whole comic.
For this and many other reasons (particularly ones pertaining to willingness to employ extreme violence in pursuit of what’s right), Sarah reminds me of the protagonist from Drive, and Joyce is her “Irene”.
Boba does have a jectpack and sarlaccs do take forever to digest, so it’s reasonable for him to make it out somehow.
gwalla
That always kinda got me. Slowly digested over a thousand years? That’s not actually very threatening. I mean, you’d die of old age long before you’d die of being eaten by the sarlacc. You could probably climb out before your eyes started to sting.
Doctor_Who
Actually, part of what made it such an awful fate (and why Jabba punished people with it instead of just killing them), was that the sarlacc keeps you alive throughout the entire process.
One story even had Fett in there conversing with the disembodied consciousness of a previous victim, meaning even when you finally die you aren’t free.
Tunaro
Having poor memory on the Sarlacc, Boba’s fall in, and too much laziness to check out Wookiepedia, doesn’t he got guns?
Can’t he just, like, use his awesome bounty hunter armor full a’ weapons an’ a jetpack to eventually claw his way outta there?
Thomas
I wonder if this was made clear in the movies or if it’s just an Expanded Universe thing. There’s a distinction.
It’s also unclear how the sarlacc could survive like that. A lion eats an average 10–15 lbs of meat per day. The sarlacc has a much slower metabolism? All right, but even a cold-blooded reptile like a very large crocodile, probably the carnivorous champion of long fasts, has to eat every 12–18 months at the very least (and then it gorges itself on something like a zebra, a significant proportion of its own body weight). With an incredibly slow rate of digestion, the sarlacc would presumably have to make up for that with volume of victims, which (a) raises its own problems of how it manages to sustain the glands and intestines needed, and (b) seems pretty unlikely in a desert.
Flipz
Presumably, the Sarlacc also gets regular meals consisting of bantha herds, dewbacks, and wandering Tusken Raiders. I also seem to recall that most Sarlaccs live on worlds with significantly larger and richer wildlife populations, and that the one on Tattooine is a statistical anomaly.
Some day I’m going to write a 10,000 page book called “All the shit that’s wrong with Star Wars. Hell, just the huge, steaming heap of suck that was Episode 1, and just the droid army attack.
As a once and former Army Infantry type, I would have loved facing that droid army with two companies of Mech Infantry with a tank company in support.
Fucking droids would have been cut up into scattered parts before teh finished unfolding.
Lanval
Well, in the defence of the Confederates, they were up against what would eventually become storm troopers. I assume most armies in Star Wars have some sort of Mutually Assurred Incompetance Policy which means no matter how ridiculous and shitty their army is, the other guys will be about as bad.

Hey, this option wasn’t on the poll.
I want to see “Sarah Performs A Loneliness And Joyce Scrubs Herself With Lye While Praying So She Can Feel Clean Again”.

This option is a pole all to itself IF YOU KNOWUTIMEAN????

You meant poll right or was that a pun?

Can I change my vote?

This option happens whether we like it or not
MrPotamus
There was a poll.
Doctor_Who
Yesterday, on whether we wanted Amber/Danny or Sal/Jason to be the next Slipshine.
Dave
Ffff I missed that. Who won?

Amber/Danny, much to Willis’ surprise.

Joyce may never feel clean again, if only brain bleach was a real product.

In some circles, it’s call “whisky”.

That doesn’t always work though.

You kidding? I’d lay even odds she wants to watch versus is horrified by it.

Only if it was dorothy.

She wants to make the noises while Sarah pushes them around.

It’s official, I have nothing original to say, just have to wait for other people to say it.
Lord Geovanni
he knows the deepest darkest parts of sarah…..
thinking back a few years i wish some one could say that about me
No
I’m sure some “thing” could.
Idon'tcarenomore
Aw Sarah, don’t give up. Someone out there is your match.
Mike?
Tunaro
Nah, Mike only hatefucks if’n it’s mutually beneficial.
Kaiden
Though you must admit, their mutual hatred of everything could bring them together, if they weren’t too busy hating everything.
Rachel Roth
Nah, he’d probably cause MORE trouble for Sarah.

There’s an AU Jacob for Sarah out there SOMEWHERE
…unfortunately, in an alternate universe…

Greenygal
While I think this is a natural tendency of Sarah’s, I also think the scars from the last time she tried getting along with people are still fresh in her mind. It has to be unpleasant to know that the girl who told you that you could come out of your shell and let people be nice to you is now actively warning people away from you.
Yotomoe
If I was a girl, that’s what I’d call my lady business.

Other Jacob?
Dave
You still have a perfectly reasonable dark pit, though you’ll need another Other Jacob without the rabbit attachment to probe it properly.

That’s what Clive Cussler calls it… no wait, that’s Dirk Pitt.

Great gravatar for the comment, dude.

“With” is probably the wrong preposition.

Where he’ll be slowly digested over a thousand years.
Plasma Mongoose
ARe you suggesting that Sarah’s vag is a sarlacc?
Doctor_Who
Then she should call the dildo Boba.
Incidentally, since Disney decided the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe is no longer canon, Boba’s still down there.
-Sentinel-
I don’t remember where I read that, but I think Lucas eventually OK’d the notion of Boba getting out.
Plasma Mongoose
Boba does have a jectpack and sarlaccs do take forever to digest, so it’s reasonable for him to make it out somehow.
