    by KR

    by Kenpasck

  16. Hard to stay on the Atkins diet when your only choice is the death star snack bar.
    by Rbutcher

    by Redav Htrad

  19. I think falling into a molten pit may have affected his hue.
    by Rin, Destroyer of Keyboards

    by Vincent

  21. It attracts the sun,absorbs heat, so it reminds him of Tatooine
    by aniluvr

    by Gryfft

  28. Because Billy Dee Williams "called dibs" on the powder blue cape before he got there.
