Why isn't it the real sky?
Has anyone ever seen a real sky?
If you weren't flying in the sky would people in airplanes even know you existed? Do they care I am here when they fly above me in the sky?
Are clouds on the ground fog or just clouds on the ground?
If you could rain what kind of rain would it be?

No but he's been to Japan and loves to be asked about it.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
