First off I need to say I am not a PT hater. The PT is inferior to the OT but it could have been worse than it is. Yes that’s possible I had nightmares about TPM being worse. I had nightmares from 1999 to 2002 that the backstreet boys where going to sing I want it that way in huttese. And that Anakin would be played by the Titanic’s Leonardo DiCaprio. So it could have been worse.
Leo DiCaprio would have been worse than Hayden Christensen!? Ach du lieber!!
I as well used to be afraid of DiCaprio spieling Anakin back then. Today I just wish my fears would have become true... -_-
Well I personally hate the movie Titanic and I hate Leonardo DiCaprio. Sense I was force to sit through Titanic I have never seen any other movie with Leonardo DiCaprio. Well I did see inception but almost did not, because of him.
That's too bad, he's become one of the most interesting young stars of the modern era and he certainly is a good actor.

In SW, just after leaving Docking Bay 94, there's a green guy leaving the Millennium Falcon cockpit. Anyone got any stories for this? Was it shot as part of a different sequence, maybe the character was to be replaced? (but 77 seems too early for green screen) Or was this green just the uniform of people doing work on set so they were obvious? Or is this the MF Grue who later in the movie eats the DS stormtroopers who went to scan for lifeforms.

Jedi KnightAre you talking about the BG in the shot of Han? If so, that's Alec Guiness, the shot is used from the end of the "go strap yourselves in" moment and repurposed there.

This was from a different thread, but it gave me an idea for a different take on the whole Memory Cheats discussion.
Something like this...
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish memes.

Chief Architect of Cynical MoralityRemember how I said my wife had only seen the Special Editions? Well, there was an area in WoW with a big toothy hole in the ground, and I said it was like the Sarlacc, but not the one she knew. She said "I've seen it without that dumb beak."
So apparently she HAS seen the originals, and I feel better about myself.

I'm just saying that the memory cheats. Or, in other words, if people think they had seen the cut Anchorhead footage or the unfilmed grappling hook shot back in 1980 from a conveniently lost bootleg VHS tape, there is no talking them out of it.

My mind is kind of blown right now. I didn't realize the guy who played Ric Olie (Ralph Brown) was also in Alien 3, and I actually thought he gave a quality performance in the latter.
Damn you, Ric Olie.

Ralph Brown is an imposter. I played myself in TPM and I was phenomenal.
No sir, I say damn you.

Joliet Jakelook, sir, a reference:
http://comic.wtso.net/image/665ec8afa4a1ac6afe893a29abcef3/.jpg
... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

funny but needs tweaking. the camera needs to slowly zoom out and hang over randy.
Although it didn't bother me as much as most peoplem maybe this will take the sting out of what was a real sore spot in ROTS.
kinda the same way anti-jar jar sentiment died down after that now famous scene of comic-book guy sleeping with his jar jar doll.
see you auntie

I'd recommend checking out the rest, there's a creepy Slave Leia/Jabba one and the two Indy ones are pretty great.
