The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

Looking for C3PO Star Wars action figure…?

I have no idea what it’s called. It’s a toy from the 80′s where C3PO was dismantled. I guess it was sold like this because of the what happened in the movie. Maybe you can put it together? What is this called or does anyone have a link to purchase one? It’s part of a gift for a collector.

Help! I cant get it!
He keeps flying around with his jetpack and I cant get him on the ground long enough to beat him! Help!

Sorry i don’t have much information to provide regarding it, but i hope some die-hard star wars fans would know how i can find it. its the fast paced lyricless music that plays in the bazaar in star wars, it might be done with trumpets or other brass but it sounds cool and I want to add it to a cd-mix

My little brother wants to know…?

He saw on tv advertising Star Wars toys. He said it was like Burger King or McDonalds happy meal. I know that Burger King has pink panther right now so it’s not that. Sorry kinda dumb question but I will be glad if you know the answer. He is a star wars freak! Lol. Gotta make the kid happy.

I keep on getting stuck at the droid at the end. Yoda says to hold it down w/ the force but it just pulls it back out. I have no idea what to do!
Help please I need help!
Never mind I figured it out by myself

All I can remember from the song is the fact that it has this REPETITIVE synthsizer-sounding thing in the background…througout the entire song, it seemed. The best way to describe this sound is..it’s kinda like the song in star wars (darth vader’s theme)…

Very vague, I know. however, if you know the song I’m thinking of, you’ll immediately know about the star wars song reference.

Please help. This is driving me crazy.

Can you fix the wrong sentences?

I’m going to have an English exam (making a description) on next Monday. I tried to make one but it’s terrible. I really mess up with the grammars and vocabs and stuff like that.
If you have enough tim e, you can fix the wrong sentences and give me tips how to make a simple and good description.
I’m on 9 grade and live in Indonesia (Southeast Asia), by the way. So don’t be surprised with my bad English.

"My Bedroom"

The most messy room in my house is must be my bedroom. It’s just medium, too large nor too small. It only has one large window on the north side with my bed beside it. There’s a lot of stuff on my bed, besides the pillow, blanket and all, such like pencils, money, notes, clothes, comb, and my cell phone. Under the bed there are dozens of dusty books, my broken tennis racket, my soccer ball, wood and iron pipes, which I still have no idea where they come from, and stuff that I don’t know what it calls. And you can say that there’s no floor there. I mean it already covers by trash of my snacks, my school books, magazines, clothes, plastic bags from supermarkets, dozens of papers, my sneakers and I don’t know what else. And on the west side there’s my wardrobe. It’s sort of messy too. Shorts, t-shirts, shirts, underwear, jeans, jackets, scarves, sweater and all are in there organizedly (can somebody find a better word this??). There’s a quite big radio on it. And the walls are full with clothes that are hanging, I’ll admit that I have too many clothes, and posters of my favorite artists and movies. They’re Kelly Clarkson, Queen, Avril Lavigne, Black Eyed Peas, U2, Bjork, Star Wars, Goal!, The Duchess, Shrek and many more.
I’d been trying/tried (which one i should use?? my teacher said theres a big difference between "been trying" and "been tried"; can somebody tell me wtf is the difference??!) to clean up my bedroom/clean my bed room up (which one is correct?) for several times for sure. But it doesn’t really work. It always back as messy as usual in the next day after I cleaned it up. So I guess it is a destiny for y bedroom to be always messy.

Where can I see the latest episode from this tv show ?

Need Romantic Idea's for Military R&R!?

We have already picked the destination. We are staying at the Hilton in Coco Beach Florida. What my dilemma is… we only have 15 days.. 4 days and 3 nights of it will be alone time together and the rest of the time with be spent as a family with our two year old. =) Now i am fretting about the 4 days we have alone. This is our second deployment and we really haven’t had any alone time together in almost 2 years now. I mean we get the occasional night together, but never anything like we have planned. I would like to try and keep the days we have filled with romantic but yet relaxing things to do. I mean he is coming back from a war zone, and i know he would rather be just sitting home on his couch, enjoying his own bed, and just feeling like he belongs somewhere again. But I have been cooped up in this house with out him taking care of everything and the little one. Not trying to complain.. i love my life., but i need some down time, and not at home.
So now that i have rambled… I would like some idea’s that don’t cost a whole bunch of money. Simple romantic things that will bring us close together, because it’s the only 15 days we have to see each other. I know i might be reaching for the stars, but i would like him to be able to go back there and have these 15 days make up for the fact he is away from us the rest of the year.

Signed,
One Excitedly Nervous Army Wife

Star Wars lightsabers?

My brother has been bothering me for the longest time about his newly bought toy lightsaber. He wants to know whose sword resembles the one he bought is there a website outthere that has a picture of each jedis sword so i can compare his toy to the movie version and tell him whose sword it ressembles
thanks

I have a collection of Taco Bell toys in a display case that my sister got for me when she was a manager there back in 1997 or 1998. There is 9 of them along with there boxes all neatly displayed and have never been opened or played with. Something tells me there worth something but I have no idea how to find out. Thanks!

I also need a theme song for my battle, kind of like " A Hero Falls" from Star Wars (but not as dreamy) and not too classical like the Darth Vader theme song. Thanks! The person who choses the best samurai/battle song (oh, and no lyrics in any of them please) gets picked as the best answer. Thanks guys!

i need to know the codes for the extras in the game lego satr wars 2.

Sibilant and macabre
Walpurgis sauntered in
Skies litten with five-pointed stars
The work of crafts surpassing sin
As She graced Her window ledge
- An orphaned gypsy nymph
This issue of the forest’s bed
Skin flushed with sipped absinthe -
Her eyes revealed, as Brocken’s peak
Tried once concealing Hell
A snow white line of divine freaks
In riot, where they fell…

The circus lurches in, a ring of promised delight
For seven days and seven festival nights
What wicked wonders lie within the comfines
Of the panther’s den

She watches from a maypole, on the rip of Her tongue
The restless spirit of Christmas to come
A Gretel sick of merely sucking Her thumb
Than gingerbread men

Spawned scorned, abhorred by the aerial
She was the light of the world going down
War-torn, forlorn and malarial
She was found
Born in a burial gown

Unloosed, the chain of Her god-given cross
Seduced, now pagan ribbons swathe Her repose
In a carnival of souls sold and similarly lost

Too many decades misfit and mislaid
In innocence, a tender legend of prey
Parades Her second coming, now they’re running afraid

Spawned scorned, abhorred by the aerial
She was the light of the world going down
War-torn, forlorn and malarial
She was found
Born in a burial gown

Now She moves with a predator’s guile
Beyond the firelit circle of life
She soothes your cold heart for a while
Then matches its beat, synching in with a knife
She wrestles Her dreams with a delicate case
Espied by Her cross on the wall
And should She awake, through embrace or mistake
She would take Jesus
Bless foot forward and all…

Sibiliant and at last
The circus crawled away
With another lover in its arms
Dancing on Her grave…

MAIN THEME PLEASE!!
CLARINET ONLY!!!!
