Typographic Artist Finds A Fun Use For Discarded Coffee Cups

A clever typographic artist, with some serious Sharpie skills, by the name of Rob Draper has found a fun use for all those discarded paper cups found lying around your local coffee shop- he created a series of artworks called "Coffee Time".

With boldly rendered lettering and catchy slogans like “R is for refill” and “Always cry over spilt coffee”, Rob’s eye opening series is sure to inspire artists who find themselves sitting around java bars with some time to kill and a marker pen in hand.

It seems a bit inconsistent to be comparing "a woman other than Leia speaking" to the entire length of the trilogy. Sure, 63 sec vs 23,160 is dramatic, but I'd be more impressed if the numbers weren't apples and all edible substances.

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare it to the length of time that a man other than Han, Luke, Obi Wan, Darth Vader, or the Emperor is speaking? I imagine that number would still be pretty significantly larger than 63 seconds, since, as far as I can recall, most of the secondary characters were male.

Heck, we could just compare the two lists of characters with significant roles and see something worth noting:

Female characters with significant roles: Leia
Male characters with significant roles: Han, Luke, Obi Wan, Darth Vader, The Emperor, Lando, Chewie, Jabba...

That's just off the top of my head, and given that I haven't watched those movies in years, I may have missed a few, but I honestly cannot recall another female with a significant role in the entire initial trilogy.
