What a humanistic point of view you have.:innocent: They are to me!

Princess Leia and Hello Kitty Vader not aliens.

Leia was born somewhere besides earth. Therefore, alien.

Yes, Yoda! When I was teenager, we had a little mutt poodle named Yoda. Fast little dog!

But Empire Strikes Back is the only one in the series where I've seen the whole thing. Have seen a few minutes of the original and the last one. None of return of the jedi or the first two..you know, the new first two.

Princess Leia and Hello Kitty Vader not aliens.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alien

Main Entry: 1alien
Pronunciation: \ˈā-lē-ən, ˈāl-yən\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin alienus, from alius
Date: 14th century
1 a: belonging or relating to another person, place, or thing : strange b: relating, belonging, or owing allegiance to another country or government : foreign c: exotic 1
2: differing in nature or character typically to the point of incompatibility
synonyms see extrinsic
— alien·ly adverb
— alien·ness \-lē-ən-nəs, -yən-nəs\ noun

I'd like to call attention to definitions 1b and 1c, both of which I bolded for you. I would say that from the point of view of a human from the planet earth, Princess Leia would qualify as both foreign and exotic.

and based on what you wrote in the quoted post, alien is what we are debating, not human. :)

Humans were the galaxy (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_galaxy)'s most numerous and politically (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Politics) dominant sentient (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sentient) species with millions of major and minor colonies galaxywide. Believed to have originated on the galactic capital of Coruscant (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant), they could be found anywhere, engaged in many different pursuits: spacers (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Spacer), mercenaries (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mercenary), smugglers (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Smuggler), merchants (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Merchant), soldiers (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Soldier), assassins (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Assassin), farmers (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Farm), crime lords, laborers, slavers, slaves and many others, including Jedi (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi). Since Humans were the most common sentient species, they were often considered to be a standard or average to which the biology, psychology, and culture of other species were compared.

None other than venerable Internet source, Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_(Star_Wars)) notes,



Humans are a race in the fictional (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiction) Star Wars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars) universe. They are the most numerous and dominant species, with apparently millions of major and minor colonies galaxywide.
By the time hyperdrive was invented, humans were already present on a few scattered worlds throughout the galaxy; according to the New Essential Chronology, the humans of Coruscant managed to send out a number of 'sleeper ships' between the fall of the Rakatan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakata_(Star_Wars)) Infinite Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Empire) and the invention of the hyperdrive.
Star Wars humans are mostly biologically identical to real-life humans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human), the exception to this being the presence of midi-chlorians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midi-chlorians) (microscopic life-forms that communicate with the Force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Force_(Star_Wars))) residing in their cells (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)).
Some human characters include Anakin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anakin_Skywalker) and Luke Skywalker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Skywalker), Lando Calrissian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lando_Calrissian), Padmé Amidala (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padm%C3%A9_Amidala), Han Solo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Solo), Qui-Gon Jinn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qui-Gon_Jinn), Mara Jade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mara_Jade), Obi-Wan Kenobi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obi-Wan_Kenobi), Mace Windu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mace_Windu), Emperor Palpatine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpatine), Kyle Katarn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Katarn), Jan Ors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Ors) and Leia Organa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Leia_Organa).

Or biased.

Or written using dubious source material, when such dubious source material is present at all.
