When Stats and Star Wars combine...

lyoreI was watching some random game show last night, and discovered an interesting thing: On that show, 3 out of 98 people didn't know that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father. If we assume that this was a representative sample of the Australian population (a problematic assumption, I know), then approximately 3% of Aussie adults don't know what has got to be the most well known secret in movie history. Even my mother (she who is adamant that the Stormtroopers are the good guys in the OT because they wear white) knew that one. She did not, however, know that Luke and Leia are siblings. I wonder what the stats would be at that?
On another note - Don't you hate it when isane plot bunnies get caught in your brain? At the moment I have two bouncing round my head, careening into one another andhopefully not breeding generally making a mess.
One is a semi-serious little ficlet in which Darth Vader and Han Solo get stuck in an elevator. I've sorted out the logistics of this one, and I think I could get it to work, in a non-crackfic way, and even have them both emerge alive at the end. Set after ANH and prior to ESB... it would be an interesting conversation, don't you think?
The second, courtesy ofbob_ette after I mentioned the first one to her, has Dean, Sam and the Impala getting stuck in an cargolift with Han, Chewie and the Millenium Falcon. It started off as pure crack, but somehow it has morphed into something more serious and character-focused. Set early season one in SPN time, and pre-trilogy in SW, I think this one has the potential to become an very interesting fic.
Of course I get these bunnies when I'm about to be internet- and computer-less for a month. *sigh* One week to go...
