Awesomeness

Dr. Reese is composed of nearly pure (97%) awesome. Creation of such high-yield awesome is not possible with current technology, so experts believe that Dr. Reese's awesome is alien or supernatural in origin. Below is a quantitative comparison of Dr. Reese's awesome concentration with that of Southeast Asia.

Also, Dr. Reese served the Imperial Army during the Battle of Hoth as an Imperial AT-AT. He systematically crushed Rebel opposition but utimately failed to capture any resistance fighters of significant rank. His skills as an excellent AT-AT, however, were to be commended by Darth Vader himself, who was reported to have said "Dude, you're awesome." Below is rare footage captured from the battlefield.
