Great 80s Songs
Derdriu - I could have filled this with Queen songs, I didn't want the page to become my personal favourite Queen songs list.

Lego Jawas
Well quite frankly this was just a minor issue to me, trying to be balanced and point out any minor failings. Jawas should be played with of course, tracking down R2D2 and capturing him just like in the movie.
