Ewan McGregor describes filming his final scene in ROTS

I believe Ewan says Uncle Owen and Aunt Peru - I can't say I've heard that before, Hilarious!

We all knew Jar Jar is evil, but apparently he is heavily involved in Iran's missile program.  This is awesome!

Listening to Rob Paulsen (Pinky, Yakko Warner) talk with Mark Hamill. Talking a bit about Star Wars:

Mark Hamill said:

Now we didn't have any sway, but fortunately Marcia Lucas was the one that made him [George] not cut the kiss before we swung over, he was going to cut that because it kept getting laughs in the previews. She said "But its getting a good laugh because its out of nowhere and so innocent and its so unexpected." He didn't like the laugh when we were bringing Chewie down from the holding cell where the little thing comes up *sound effect* and he goes *sound effect* and he runs away. He cut that. He has a funny thing about humor. Witness Jar Jar Binks. *laughter* I don't know what to tell you.

...

I don't want to give him any grief about that, because I mean I've stuck up for Jar Jar Binks before. People go, "Oh, he's so annoying," I said, "he's meant to be annoying! He's annoying the other characters in the movie!" But again, humor is subjective as they say.

The Death Star not worth the cost?

A vs SW

The wife and I watched "People vs George Lucas" on Netflix tonight. In the post-movie conversation, my wife brought up this shot:



She always felt like Qui-Gon was looking straight at the camera, when we hit on it: Liam Neeson wasn't talking to Watto, he was talking to George. "Sometimes when you gamble, eventually you lose" indeed.

She also brought up her big problem with the prequels: they look like completely separate movies with no visual continuity with the originals. Now this is a girl whose first experience with Star Wars was the SE VHSes, you know, the versions that are supposed to tie directly into the "visual style" of the prequels. She was a fan for less than two years before Episode I came out and immediately noticed.

Watching PvGL was pretty fun. I kept yelling at the TV, then they ended up saying what I was about to say. Nice to see Jay for quite a bit of time, TMBTM for a bit (subtitled!), and Adywan for a few seconds.

I remember seeing Puggo's avatar.

90% of the avatars are captainsolo for some reason.

I kept finding mistakes in the section on the Special Editions. They called the DVD Jabba "2001" and had video from the DVD labelled 1997, including in the part where they discussed the changes to the titles.

Do you remember him from before he was a ghost? You know, when he was still alive? ;-)

Wait, I was in it?  Where's my screenshot?!  Wheeeeee!

Here's a random STAR WARS thought:

Lucas: I am altering the film. Pray I don't alter it any further.

Fans: This film is getting worse all the time!

Just thought it was funny :-)
