Perhaps it would sound better as "Many Bantha spies have given their lives to bring us that photo, General Calrissian"

(I'm sure I have that wrong - so a prize to whoever corrects the quote from memory :-)

*Bothans

Banthas are the large beasts-of-burden on Tatooine. Bothans are humanoid aliens with cat/dog-like faces. Why do I know that? I play a lot of Star Wars video and card games :)

EDIT: just googled for the quote. The full one is "Many Bothans died to bring us this information."

Oh yes ... but I now have this irresistible vision of Vader and the Emperor walking through the Death Star landing bay, with a 12 foot long haired Bantha tiptoeing behind the massed ranks of Stormtroopers trying to look inconspicuous in a red cloak and disguise

Maybe it's just me
