Not every character could appear in the new Star Wars movie, and the spurned castoffs — including Jango Fett, Bib Fortuna, and Oola — gathered together on Conan to gripe about Chewbacca ("a roided-up hamster"), J.J. Abrams ("the movie was directed by the guy who directed Felicity, are you kidding me?"), and the earlier films ("it's not like they're getting better as they go"). As Lobot, Conan O'Brien lets the insults fly, but in the end, he gets his comeuppance from a fan favorite. Catherine Garcia
