It was finally Solo—of all people—who opened his mouth to speak for the group. For the Alliance.
“Tell [the Ewoks] this, Goldenrod—’ he smiled at [C-3PO], with conscious affection for the first time. ‘Tell them it’s hard to translate a rebellion, so maybe a translator shouldn’t tell the story. So I’ll tell ‘em.
“They shouldn’t help us ’cause we’re asking ’em to. They shouldn’t even help us ’cause it’s in their own interest to—even though it is, you know—just for one example, the Empire’s tappin’ a lot of energy out of this moon to generate its deflector shield, and that’s a lot of energy you guys are gonna be without come winter, and I mean you’re gonna be hurtin’…but never mind that. Tell ‘em. Threepio.”
Threepio told them. Han went on.
“But that’s not why they should help us. That’s why I used to do stuff, because it was in my interest. But not anymore. Well, not so much, anyway. Mostly I do things for my friends, now—’cause what else is so important? Money? Power? Jabba had that, and you know what happened to him. Okay, okay, the point is
— your friends are…your friends. You know?”
This was one of the most inarticulate pleas Leia had ever heard, but it made her eyes fill with tears.

Peter Capaldi visits a sick Doctor Who fan who was too ill to attend the show’s official festival
The fan, 14-year-old Daniel, suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and is bed-bound.
Capaldi’s visit came about following a campaign by the fan sites Bad Wilf and Geek Syndicate, who used the hashtag #drwhodaniel to help spread the word.
Daniel’s wish to meet an actor from Doctor Who – especially an actor who’d played the Doctor – came true when Capaldi arrived at his ward. The actress Frances Barber, who played Madame Kovarian on Doctor Who, also visited Daniel, while showrunner Steven Moffat sent a video message to wish him a merry Christmas.
Be sure to check out the The Bad Wilf where we originally learned about Daniel’s story!
3…2…1…cheese!
You know Peralta already has that photo framed on his wall. He can’t pull it together to frame and display any other photo, but this one? The one with his honorary nieces and his honorary dad trolling the fuck out of him, while he smiles like a smug, clueless jackass?
HIS FAVORITE FAMILY PHOTO EVER.
We had a spectacular time at Long Island Who! The highlights were meeting fans, the standing-room-only screening of our videos, and this.
