The Delicious Battle of Hoth

Handsome and astute TR reader Bill sent me this wedding cake pic, which, frankly, is just amazing:

I mean, Han Solo carrying a lightsaber?! Has the chef never seen Empire? Come on! Sheesh.

Anyways, if you seen an Impressive Act of Nerdery and would like to share it, I'd be just delighted if you emailed it to me at toplessrobot (at) gmail.com.

Han does carry a lightsaber, albeit, briefly, when he cuts open the Ton Ton. :)

Aubrey said:

Obligatory geek comment.

Han Solo carried a lightsaber in Empire! He cut open the belly of a taun taun with it so Luke didn't die.

Rob said:

So Han's going to cut open the AT-AT and put Leia inside? I don't think so.

These comments make me want to drop a lightsabre on my face.

Doesn't Han use Luke's lightsaber to cut open the taun taun?

nemoxnine said:

Has anyone mentioned that, partway through The Empire, Han wields the lightsaber to cut open the Taun Taun?

Otherwise Luke would have died.

Tigrael said:

guys did you know Han cut open the lightsaber with a tauntaun?

Nathan said:

If you can properly spell "taun taun", you are such a nerd.

I came in here to post that it's appropriate that it's Hoth because that is the only time Han Solo ever handles a lightsaber. So I'm guilty too.

He who is so totally not a geek said:

It's "Tauntaun" you dorks.

Tigrael said:

Actually it's "tauntaun".

Isolda said:

What, no one noticed that Leia's dress doesn't have sleeves? For an outdoor wedding?!

Smatt said:

Vader was Luke's father?!

Ten Ton said:

I wonder what an Imperial Walker smells like on the inside when you cut it open.

Griff said:

that's the other problem. That's her ANH dress. She should be in Hoth gear or Cloud City dress.

All of you are so sad.

I heard you could use them to cut up wontons

Johnny Diego the Blue Man of Manchuria said:

Has anyone mentioned that Han & Leo seem to be very large compared to the Imperial Storm Troopers?

Also, Han *did* us a light sabre in order to save Luke.

MtMan900 said:

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but in the original Episode 5 Han Solo wields the lightsaber to cut up a tauntaun.

However, this is relatively unknown because in the remastered version Greedo shows up, pulls the lightsaber first, and a ring of fire explodes away from the tauntaun as it's opened.

maniacnf, you owe me a keyboard. I'm serious. HUGE belly laugh here.

Hey guys, if you look carefully at Episode five around frame 81,450 and for the 12 frames after you can clearly see thermite flashes around the walker's legs as it topples. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!! THE BATTLE OF HOTH WAS AN INSIDE JOB!

NNNNEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

smellymike said:

May the frost-ing be with you! p.s. Han totally used a lightsaber on a tauntaun to save Luke. LOL why didn't you turkeys think of that!...FOR YOUR HEALTH.

NerdGroom said:

Yes, it was delicious. Thanks for all the support about Han wielding the lightsaber, I figured all us true nerds would know that.
As for Leia's dress, sorry but her Hoth outfit didn't look like a wedding dress so I used the ANH one instead.

Nerd Machine said:

Umm, you realize you're debating with people who probably have not been on a date and live in their parents' basement. And I'm excluding a "date" with their inflatable partner, Star Wars toys, or some other thing that is not an adult human.

The cake is a lie.
