2. ‘Yodachshund’ wisely reminds us that, “Fear is the path to the dark side”.    
 

3. This shiny Golden Retriever would make a great C3PO, enthusiastically giving you the odds for successfully navigating an asteroid field whether you wanted them or not, finished off with an all-knowing, loving lick.
 

4. According to ‘Obi Wan Catnobi’, “the force will be with you, always”.
