Probably a report, but SW in feudal Japan:

1977.08.03 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yB-Us17lUE

ABC News coverage of when 3po, R2 and Vader got their feet into the concrete of the Hollywood walk of fame, in front of Grauman's Theater.  This is the second opening of SW at the theater.

Question: Most SW docs when they want to show the popularity of SW they open with the shot of this theater full of people.  That shot must have come from this event, so the question becomes is there any documented proof of what opening day of SW at the Grauman actually looked like?

There's probably archival news footage in the vaults of local tv stations from that day. Maybe someday it will find it's way onto the net.

Lucas and Spielberg got the dip their feet together there in the 1984. I can attest to the fact Steven and I probably have the same shoe size, and George has tiny feet! ;)

That. Is. Amazing.

I love Red Leader's contributions (he's my favorite minor SW character).  They just seem to stand out the most to me (I think I can recite the entire Battle of Yavin in my sleep, backwards).  Knowing that "I just" comes from "I just lost my starboard engine" is hilarious.

 That is awesome. Everything in the lyrics is true.

These lines by George stood out for me...

"But Star Wars will be done my way
I don’t care what you have to say
I think that they should let it go
And they’ll never get the Blu-Ray of the Star Wars that you used to know"..

Little Star Wars Kinect video

Hay all,

Had some fun at the weekend with Star Wars Kinect and some friends which ended up with a short video I'd like to share with the world (if only so my friend can be embarrassed/proud of himself!)

Do you have any further information about this? I would love to have access to the full interviews.

The next step would be sending them an e-mail: http://www.hendersonsfilmindustries.co.uk/contactpage/contactpage01.htm

Looks like they are opening up a bit, moving the website only video to youtube.  Maybe with your book as background you can get a better deal at checking out the videos/show reels.  From the MH beard and Fisher's haircut, they seem only a few years old.

Has this been found already?  It's a CGI Han Solo animation, and it's pretty cool.  And it's unofficial.

The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit.  Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.

 

Password for all ROTJ-related clips: ROTJ

A very rough edit of how the Battle of Endor could go
A very rough idea of how ROTJ could end

Rough edit based on the final script with some deviation:

That's a couple of years old, but still very cool.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?
