Darth Vader: When I left you I was but a kitten, now I am the cat!


As someone who fights for the visibility of cats in motion pictures, I think there should have been cats in "Star Wars", here are some appropriate places:

ANH...

Luke watches the twin suns set, why wasn't there a cat rubbing around his legs?

The Mos Eisley cantina...ever been in one of those cool record stores? The catina reminds me of that, and they always have a cat hanging around. I think it would have been appropriate if the Ithorian had been petting a cat.

Gov. Tarkin, like Dr. Evil, needed a cat to pat while giving those ghastly orders.

ESB...

Do you think Darth Vader just meditates in that meditation chamber of his? NO! Why didn't we see him dangling some yarn in front of his pet cat?

When Luke got his synthetic hand...why didn't he hold it out for his cat to snif and then rub his face in?

ROTJ...

Why weren't the Ewoks CATS??!!?? And no, I don't mean wild cats or computer enhanced cats, I'm talking about regular domesticated house cats?? First, I DARE an Imperial Storm Trooper to fire on a cute kitty cat and all that shedding fur would probably have caused an electronic malfunction that would have decativated the shield generator before the Rebels even landed!

OR...just make half the cast cats!...

Chewbacca could have been a cat

Darth Vader could have said...

DV: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your cat...

LS: He told me enough, he told me you killed him!!

DV: No, I AM your cat!

Change the name R2-D2 to R2-Cat2 and you have a droid cat

Obi-Wan: Your cat was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Whiskers Skywalker and became Darth Vader.

Emperor: You, like your cat, are now mine!
