The American public will hopefully catch on with the advent on the new Tintin movies.

Obi Wan Kenobi: Captain Haddock
Luke Skywalker: Tintin
Han Solo: Er... Calculus
Princess Leia: Bianca Castafiore XD

Anyway, I've met people in libraries who have never heard of Tintin. I go up to the helpdesk, and the assistant says "Tin... tim?" "No, Tintin." "Ah! You're looking for dog books on them Rin Tin Tins!"

I HATE WHEN THEY SAY RIN TIN TIN. I love dogs, but I can't stand that name. Even my mom and a sister of hers keep joking about Rin tin tin when I talk about Tintin and it unnerves me!

PS Can you imagine a drawing of Tintin beeing Luke Skywalker and Captain Haddock playing Kenobi????

Then, a blonde Princess Leia singing the Jewels song????
Han Solo: Calculus???? No way.

Let's do this with Lord of the Rings characters.

Nestor: Sam
Tintin: Frodo
Captain Haddock: Bilbo
Professor Calculus: Gandalf?
Alcazar: Saruman
Rastapopoulos: Sauron

This is absolutely ridiculous AND off topic!

Offtopic: It was a joke.

Ontopic: Anyway, even if you greet the same person over and over again, then try to discuss Tintin, they'll still say "Tin... tin?".

Because they don't read it, nor watch on DVD. Let's face it. We know Tintin and we care. They simply don't.

There should be Tintin Missionaries, teaching to the ignorant crowds.
