The title here is taken from a recent post by mlawski on the difference between [Strong Female] Characters and [Strong Characters], Female.

So a while back, I complained about the relative lack of violence in the latest Indiana Jones film. Indy doesn’t shoot a single person. I blamed this on Lucus - the only person in the galaxy who believes that Star Wars is a better film when Greedo shoots first.
Anyway, I’ve edited together a little protest. Here’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, getting the Lucas “Special” Edition treatment:
By the way, a couple months ago, there was a very strange photo floating around the internet.
That’s George Lucas, on the set of Crystal Skull, wearing a “Han Shot First” t-shirt. This is basically the same as George Bush wearing a “No Blood For Oil” t-shirt. Does not compute.
This has been around teh inturwebz for a while, but it’s worth looking at again. Dude has done an animated version of Star Wars: Episode IV using only the characters on a computer keyboard.
If this is the kind of thing that tickles your pickle, you have nothing to do tonight. So tell your mom to grab you a jolt, brush the Doritos out of your neck beard, and fire her up. Have kleenex handy.
