Default Star Wars number plates

Beginning to notice a few Star Wars number plates popping up.

Slave 1 on a dark green EL
Sith ## on a Black AU
Jedi ## on a VX berlina or calais

these are all in my area, they must be getting pretty common.

anyone else seen some?

I saw VADER on a black soft offroader and it had the imperial logo on its external spare wheel cover.

I hope I'm the first geek to respond - Slave 1 was Boba Fett's ship.

There's Slave I, Jango Fett's ship, there's Slave II, Boba Fett's ship, and there's R2 and threepio being offered up as slaves to Jabba by Luke, not to mention Leia...

Did Lucas change Slave 1 from Episode 5 to Slave 2 in the later films? Hmm, I always thought it was the same ship.

here's where we find out how much of a geek i am....
Slave 1 was originally a experimental Kuat Drive Yards Firespray Class Patrol Ship, Jango was the first owner and after his death boba took it over and the next time we see it (episode 5) its a bit more battled scared plus it sports a more of a green paint job similar to Boba fetts armour. After Return Of the Jedi Boba Fett looses his ship and moves onto other craft, i think he's up to about slave 4.

Well I'm glad that's cleared up any misunderstanding.

Something I noticed the other day, George Lucas was in Beverly Hills cop 3. He's the guy that Eddie Murphy pushes past to get on the ferris wheel. How funny. Star Wars on the other hand was not funny.

I got the box set of those Eddie Murphy films and I feel that the third one was really bad. That whole end sequence of the theme park show felt like a giant advertisement.

Exactly, and losing the dude taggert was a bit much. Says a lot when some of the cast don't want to do it. Maybe that's why they tried to pull Lucas into it to get more people to see it?
Shoulda stopped after 2 I reckon.

Beverly hills cop 1 has Damon Wayans in it - the poofy bloke selling the fruit hamper at the hotel ...bananassss
Beverley hills cop 2 has Chris Rock in it - the dude parking the cars at the playboy mansion when Axel rocks up in the cement truck.

Bit of useless trivia.

I can't think of anything more humiliating than being called a n00b by star wars geeks, makes me feel kind of a loser haha

On a more serious note I agree that there should have been just 2 BHC movies and that at that point Eddie Murphy should have been killed so that he didn't turn into a dick and make movies like dr dolittle and haunted mansion.
