There's no denying that the only real hero in the original trilogy was R2-D2, and certainly one of the more heroic ones in the prequel trilogy as well!
He was pretty much the only character who did what he did for heroic reasons. He didn't whine like a bitch at every turn (sure, he showed concern and worry with his sad beeps, but that's not whining), he bravely charged into the fray when he had to despite the dangers to himself time and time again, and without him the other protagonists would never have gotten as far as they did.
It's a shame he doesn't get as much credit as he deserves in that regard.
B8 isn't that far behind either, though his AI is clearly more of a manipulative sort. He knows that he's cute and adorable, and he uses that fact to get other people to help him do the dirty work. Which is, from a writer's point of view anyway, the better way to go about it rather than having him be the hero of the story.

Hmm, maybe Lando was his real father...

The first 6 movies are about the Skywalkers because their creator said so. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that. This is his art, and how he interprets it is what matters the most.
Also, Kylo is the whitest person who has ever lived, in any galaxy or time. There is no Lando in him at all. If there was some Lando in him, he would have tried to put his mack down on Rey.

Rey is the daughter of Boba Fett and the Sarlacc.

The holiday special seared a dark, horrific place in my brain as a child, and I haven't watched it since the 80s. Is it still as awful as I remember?

Yeah, it is. It's so bad that it's making its way into snark videos: Originally Posted by eschatological

In case people were wondering, I can stand over all those "Irish people react" videos. While, I've not seen ALL of them, I can confirm that my reactions to the Holiday special and other videos is about the same.

Well, thankfully the holiday special is definitely not canon now. It can go back into Disney's vault for another generation, eh?
