site improvements
I have worked on some improvemnts on the site. Mainly optimising the seperate flash movies for faster downloads. I also added a new video player which is incorporated in the 'lost documentary' section, as well as in the new flash movies. This player will replace existing movies in the next few days. With the player you can now go forward within the movie, choose others movies for that year or section, resize the movie (this will decrease the quality but enchance the viewing pleasure) and adjust the volume. Any comments are more that welcome.

the forum is up and running
The forum is up, but is still a work in progress so bear with me. You will be able to post messages, but a lot of the boardfeatures I will have to work through when I have the time. Any help or comments on that will be very welcome. I will post larger video files on the forum, as well as high-res versions of images from the site (including the Gary Kurtz galleries) in the next few days. I hope you will do the same to get this thing going. If you have comments or error reports you can mail me here
downloadable Bantha Tracks
Added the Bantha Tracks Newsletters issue 1 to 22 to their respective years (1978 to 1984). I have to scan issues 23 to 35 to be added later. Bantha Tracks was such a part of the whole Star wars experience for us older fans and the only source of Star Wars information at the time (as well as some cool membership kits).
image updates
- added 20 new amazing images to the 1977 Gary Kurtz gallery.
- added 15 new images to the 1980 Gary Kurtz Gallery.
- added 10 more great images to the 1977 Robert Carlyle gallery
- added 58 new and ultra rare images to the 1977 promotional movie stills Gallery.
- added a whole new video player to the Empire: the lost documentary section a well as 2 new clips from this doc.
And there is much more to come in the next few days
- special feature: the muppet connection
- extra content for 1983
- more special image galleries
- the content of 1987
- special video's like muppet babies, star wars on sesame street and much more
Stay tuned.
