Story Wars

      Okay, in my defense I've seen Toy Story 2 twice in four, five years; so of course it's taken me awhile to clue in. I knew a long time ago that Buzz, in the first movie, gives Woody the Live long and prosper, and of course I knew that in the second one, Zurg absurdly tells Buzz he's his father (somehow).
      But I was trying to take a nap (night shift nurse here, thank you very much) and suddenly, finally, it clicked. Zurg wants to destroy a planet, just like Darth Vader. They both have glowing yellow eyes, a deep raspy voice, and capes. Buzz is the spaceman who wants to stop him, so technically Jessie is his Princess Leia.
      Wonder if Darth Vader has a spy hole?
      I always muted it during these parts. I never understood why they would include the mere notion that a toy could father another. I thought it was just a stupid, pointless quote they threw in there to add some time to the length of the movie. I knew there were two (at least) Star Wars references in the movies, but I didn't think the crew was nerdy!
