The other night I was watching the Star Wars Fan Films Awards and A British person won. They kept saying something about plastic tan tans. What are Tan Tans? Or maybe it's spelt Taun Tauns. Help us Americans out please.

havn't a clue mate sorry

No idea... not much of a star wars fanatic.

Geek mode *on*
Taun Tauns are the ice lizards that Luke and Han Solo are riding in the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back
Geek mode *off*

I don't think the geek mode switched off correctly :D

Its pronounced TAUNTAUN not tan tan, you shoulda' just said that, yeah those are the lizard thingies on Imdar Alpha, OH and by the way, If a Minoch and a Tauntaun got in a fight, which do you think would win?

They won for a short animated film called something like "Christmas Tauntauns". It's cute. You can see it at Atom Films. I would put a link, but I am not that computer-literate! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

*Still wondering how taun tauns relate to us British people"

<font color="cyan">Yeah, me too. I couldn't work out what you wanted a British person to answer that for....just cos a British lad won, any Star Wars fan knows what a Taun Taun is.

They're cool. But their insides are really smelly when dead. Try to avoid sleeping in one if possible.</font>
