Maybe that's why he trolled Yoda on Dagobah.<br />But I love that scene.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-5222161033600100152015-07-21T09:42:03.566-07:002015-07-21T09:42:03.566-07:00TAS: I'm partial to the gravediggers in Hamlet...TAS: I'm partial to the gravediggers in Hamlet.<br />Now, I'm trying to think of other shows that use this technique, but I'm drawing a blank.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-46327591403850123432015-07-21T04:30:36.331-07:002015-07-21T04:30:36.331-07:00I'm getting caught up so I have no comment on ...I'm getting caught up so I have no comment on this one, yet.
