There's still a little time left before the seventh Star Wars movie will grace audiences, but any time is a good time to revisit the previous six movies for a refresher course, given how dense the mythology is and how many weird and wonderful characters there are to remember (in the Original Trilogy, anyway). Yes, everyone's got their misgivings with Lucas' Prequel Trilogy, but for the purpose of this article the quality of the movies isn't really important: it's all about those scenes which were the most disturbing, unsettling and downright creepy.

Live and let live, but nobody needs the mental image of a Wookie pleasuring a robot. Nobody. And now you all have it.
