Funny, I was just thinking about that the other day. Most of the other directors and filmmakers interviewed in Side By Side, if not all of them, didn't have props or imagery of their films in the background or next to them. They were there to just talk shop about filmmaking and digital vs. celluloid.
Lucas apparently stipulated that the only way he would grant Neo an interview was if there were ever so subtle reminders that Lucas created SW placed all over the frame.

Magister Pontifex MaximusI love puzzles but I can't see these hints of which you speak (any clues?).

Son of the SunsI saw this last year. I think it was pretty funny when the others were on some way against Lucas and his changing the films (if I remember correctly). Also this made Lucas was stand out from the other directors and not in a good way IMO.
And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

The funny part was at the time George was telling all his peers that they'd find it hard to believe that AOTC was shot in Digital.....and a few of them, when asked, just basically said George jumped in too soon, the Sony cameras just weren't up to scratch and that they had no problems at all believing that the film was shot on video.

Han D. SoloI just checked out AOTC on BD and it looks really digital in a bad way - unlike ROTS, which I must admit looks pretty damn good on BD.

Lucas: I am altering the film. Pray I don't alter it any further.
Fans: This film is getting worse all the time!

I've seen this photo many times over the years. Apparently it was always cropped to avoid showing Greedo in the corner, as it looks like he's dumping his shipment of spice...

Emperor's Hand...and so the Emperor Pope retired. I wonder, how many Star Wars fans feel affected?
For me he had at least one virtue: every time I saw him I tried not to giggle... stop that, he doesn't look like Palpatine, not a bit! :D That was my first thought when I first saw him... how awkward did I feel! Luckily I immediately discovered - thanks to the Internet - that people all over the world noticed the same (what a relief it was :D ).
Remember fondly Papa Ratzi, the only Palpatine-lookalike pope.
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

Joliet JakeNext in line, Pope Ackbar: the monsignor from Mon Calamari!
... 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!"

Did anyone ever have one of these ?
I remember seeing these in a toy shop. Basically a torch with a tube on the end. One of the first un-official toys ?

But he doesn't look like Palpatine, not at all.

I am ready for the trials!There were a lot of flashlights with plastic tubes and whatnot stuck on the end in late '77. Kenner's own official product wasn't much better, except for the inflated blade.
Kids have it so good now, they don't even have to make weird buzzing noises when pretend saber fighting. ;)

Magister Pontifex MaximusIt goes without saying that Kenner weren't happy :

I am ready for the trials!Kenner used the same stationery for the form letter they sent me when I wrote them suggesting several toy ideas. ;)
I recall the legal wrangling over knock off toys. Since the concept of a "laser sword" had been around in scifi for a long time, they probably could only really go after anyone misusing the character likenesses and logos. I had a glow in the dark sword circa '78 that was probably a recycle of a mold for a more earthbound blade.
Kenner used to put a little (tm) or © after every mention of a character name or phrase in the text of their catalogs and packaging.
I'm still amazed George got "droid" copyrighted.
