Hello Gang,

Well I’m going through my SW video collection and I found a tape with some interesting clips. 1clip is the original SW Opening Crawl without EpisodeIV A New Hope. Another segment is a PM Magazine special that was run on Return of the Jedi. This shows a clip that I believe is deleted from Jedi, it’s a very small clip about 5 seconds but it features Admiral Akbar and his aid. His aid has a line of dialogue right before Akbar says “It’s a trap!”. If I’m not mistaken, the aid never had any dialogue in the released version of Jedi is this correct? It was 3:00am when I found this so I didn’t go back and check my actual Jedi videos. But I’m remembering that the Akbar “It’s a trap!” line was in response to what Lando was saying NOT an aid. Also on this special is an interesting interview with Mark Hamill where they confirm 9 movies and Mark talks about how he and Lucas are in discussion of a Mark/Luke’s role in the SEQUIL trilogy. Very interesting, this is the only interview I that I know of where someone actually talks about the 3 trilogies, (other than in print, which isn’t nearly as reliable)

Also, I was wondering if anyone else has every caught this. I remember as a kid watching Jedi and listening to my Jedi Record which tells the entire story of Jedi that durring the Sarlac Pit fight, when Han is rescuing Lando, Lando says “Wait, I thought you were blind” the version that I remember on my record and in the theater had Han saying “It’s all right I can see a lot better” however when I first got the THX home videos Han says “It’s allright, Trust Me”. For years this line allways bugged me because I swore I heard him say “I can see a lot better” instead of “Trust Me”. On the 2004 DVDs, they changed his line back to “I can see alot better”. I check my videos to verify that the line was changed and I wasn’t going crazy. SO, has anyone else caught this tiny difference? I’ve never heard any discussion on this changed line before.
