Filling out an order recently to reach a free-shipping limit, I added the Star Wars Legos kids book "Use the Force!" to my cart. Why this item? Because it came with -- essentially -- a Cliff Clavin minifigure.
Let's back up a bit.
John Ratzenberger, who famously built the unforgettable role of Cliff Clavin in "Cheers," actually appeared in "The Empire Strikes Back." As Major Bren Derlin, he gave the order to close the Echo Base shield doors when Han Solo was out searching for Luke Skywalker in the frigid wastes of Hoth.
Off screen, he apparently survived the Hoth attack and went on to serve in the Battle of Endor. Hopefully, he and Han eventually settled their differences over a cold one with Norm in a Boston cantina.
