The assault on the first death star. There is an extremely fat rebel
pilot, which immediately makes you think "hey good for the alliance by
not discriminating" or "boy they really are desperate for pilots.
pushed him right through the physical fitness test." Just before he
blows up, Do I hear someone call him Porkins?

Absolutely. That's Porkins. And a better name you'll never find for
an SW character. Supposedly he died because he was so fat he'd set his
acceleration compensator up to 100% and couldn't tell his ship was
shaking apart.

He does appear to be rocking back and forth quite a bit. My wookie, I
do believe I have a new favorite character.

Motion of the ocean - slap the thigh and ride the wave.

Many have said that when Wedge said, "Look at the size of that thing!"
he was actually referring to Porkin's ass.

But as for favorites, remember, there is peace and love with the Gonk.

Yet you don't comment on where the throttle was lodged. I don't know
how that cockpit could contain enough oxygen to keep him breathing.

Yes, I beleive its jet, or Jed Porkins. Why hes even been honored now with his
own big fat (in)action figure. I wonder if it fits in the X-Wing toy?

Yessss, and a second later the shower of sparks. What happens when
electrical equipment gets wet???

I think we're on to something here. Porkins stowed a two liter of soda
on board to wash down the chicken leg.

From what I've heard, he won't fit. Don't know if the customizing
will have to be done on Porkins or the X-Wing.
