Nostalgia is a sucker’s game. We imagine all the toys and TV shows from childhood as perfect and awesome purely because our immature brains hadn’t developed the ability to joylessly pick things apart for their flaws. The songs we liked at age 10 weren’t any better than the Justin Bieber stuff the 10 year old girls love now.

So it’s good to go back and look at our childhood icons through adult eyes. OK, maybe "good" isn’t the word for it .

The "bottomless" chasm is as much a staple of the Star Wars universe as the lightsaber. It’s a wonderful symbol for that world’s vast, endless technology and how small it can make a person feel. Nobody who watched the above scene as a kid was thinking that consciously, but we felt it when Luke, crushed by the revelation from Vader, tumbled down into it, falling, forever .onto a bunch of used garage sale mattresses.

That behind the scenes pic is from the coffeetable book The

16. "Guys, Make Sure Kenny Hasn’t Suffocated."

It’s not like it’s some shock to find out R2 D2 isn’t "real." He’s supposed to be a robot,

Couldn’t it have been, I don’t know, remote controlled or something? Did Baker have a little steering wheel in there to move R2 around? Also, I note that among Baker’s roles on his IMDb page are characters named "Bungo," "Fidgit," "Dufflepud," "The Croat" and "Bruce Foreskin."

And . now I’m depressed. No more Star Wars.

15. Greedo’s Sexy Heels

Wait, one more. Prior to the whole "Greedo shot first" encounter, the above scene was our introduction to Han Solo that is, our first look at how Han lives and the world that he inhabits. Weird green guys getting in his face with guns drawn,

Those are the sexy, sexy heels of Maria de
Acquista donne vere Uomini Nike Free Run 2 Rosso Oro Nero Bianco Per Cheap Ma il Real Men Shoes Aragon, who played Greedo when he was standing up. He was played by somebody else when he was sitting in the booth. Not like it matters, with the mask on and the voice dubbed in later. Hell, in the prequels they’d have just left the seat empty and put a bundle of tennis balls there to map the CGI to.

Maybe this was the first time George Lucas figured out that characters didn’t need to be played by actors they could just be cobbled together out of parts. Speaking of which .

14. Bugs Bunny: Template 4B

It’s amazing to think about a guy doodling a cartoon character onto a notepad, and then having people still wearing that character on T shirts 70 years later. But it’s easy to see why in this case Bugs Bunny is cool, even if he’s in a rerun from 1944 and doing a slapstick bit about war bonds. He’s the template for every sarcastic smartass who’s appeared on the pop culture scene since.

Just look at him. Look at the way he stands. Put a cartoon shotgun in his face, and he’ll stand the same way, before sticking his finger in the barrel. That bunny does not give a fuck.

Bugs Bunny was drawn from a standard, "fill in the blanks" template of characters. Specifically, he falls into the "screwball" type, as you can tell by his "pear shaped body" and "big feet."

That guide up there was created by Preston Blair, an animator who
