Singer Michelle Phillips (from The Mamas & The Papas) reaction to seeing her acquaintance Harrison Ford in a little movie that just opened called Star Wars
Harrison Ford was also, during a documentary film, roadie for The Doors. (Actually he was in college and was just helping out for the film, but it still counts.)
Spice, which is in-universe term for a variety of illegal drugs. Like saying he smuggled dope. It covers glitterstim (from Kessel), ryll (from Ryloth), and even salt (addictive to Arconians) to name a few.
Han Solo was very nearly played by a black actor, Glynn Turman, best known as Mayor Royce on The Wire. Lucas actually liked him better than Harrison Ford for Han Solo, but the chemistry test between Fisher, Hamill and Ford was much better than the chemistry reading between Turman and the other two rejected actors
And before that, Lucas wanted the movie to have either an all-Japanese cast (when he was trying to get Mifune for Obi-Wan), or before that, an all-dwarf cast. Whether the movie would have need subtitles is uncertain.
About the Mifune note. Here’s something that blew my mind when I realized it: The two Japanese genres were films set in contemporary present - gendai geki And historical samurai knight stories set in Japan’s past - Jidai geki Stories of blade wielding knights from generations past… where do you think Lucas got the word “Jedi” from?
Call of the wild is possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. I had just finished the book and thought it would be a fun way to spend my flight. The dog looked awful, the deviation from the source material was too great. The villain literally twirled his mustache I hate it SO!FLAMES! ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE!!!
the choice to have a human actor play buck and then CGI a dog over it is so fucking bizarre, a real St. Bernard would've cost less and have less of a visceral dislike from the audience
If you read Carrie Fisher’s autobiography, she mentions several times the insanely potent pot that Harrison used to imbibe. Pot that would make you wake up in a galaxy far, far away
Better times, pot nowadays is way too strong to be enjoyable. You can't even get the "weak" one anymore. It's like wanting a beer but having to drink whiskey.

Soince I read how the band treated 'Mama' Cass. Is dislike them. Still love Cass Elliot, though, and the music that she made.

I think she meant to say ”smuggler”.

If this is the only text in the picture , then why the hell does it need to be horribly underlined
MorgulTheFriendlyDrelb
I'm guessing that it was underlined as a passage in a book long before it was photographed and cropped and uploaded.
raskirorikson8
Why are we marking something if the marked section makes up for 95%?
CarInAVet
It's a marked section of physical paper. The underlines are probably not for us.

I don't see it, could you maybe add a few red circles and a reaction video of a overacting twat explaining the funny part out loud?

Which makes his role as drug smuggler Han Solo even more perfect.

Is it ever actually specified what Han smuggles?

Spice. More specific didn't pass the censorship of studio and perhaps Lucas himself

Lol, they don't need the underline. THEY HAVE THE BOOK! They already read it. Clearly, it's underlined for us. /s https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1YzRqbmlnanNpOWRqNncwM2hvb2NyN2ZvenRkZWh5ZWd2OWx6aHJpcyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/y62P0aQUYLYAg/200w.webp

Also, both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda have vaguely Japanese-ish inspired names

And then there's the lightsaber fighting style before Star Wars went all twirly-dancy with the prequels.

Great vocabulary is 90% confidence.

You can currently drink your weed, though it's more an analogy to edibles.

I think that usage of the word was perfectly cromulent

And this is how I realize that "beber" in Spanish has the same Latin root as "imbibe".

Well, yeah. We only started to get color in the world after LSD was invented. Everything before then was in monochrome.
