Luke confronted Vader and lost a hand.  Han was frozen in a block of something or other.  C3PO was strapped to a walking carpet.  Boba Fett was cool.  Lando betrayed everyone but it's better than it sounds.  Leia found true love with someone other than her brother.

Confused?  You won't be, after this episode of...

AS THE DEATH STAR TURNS

*applaud*

Maybe you can use something like that to introduce Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clowns:  A Frink FanEdit.

After it went so well the last time... is this just so you can shut me down on your turf again?

Well in a time far far away from this date..I was I little kid waiting in line for the movies with my mother, my aunt, and my two cousins to see Star Wars. The very first Star Wars was not particularly big on special effects. They had to use actual models made from different materials and put together mainly by hand. They filmed scenes over and over again to get just the right touches just the right special effects for that time period.

To people that see those movies today in there original form they don't seem like much. They have released and re released those three original movies over and over again as the technology is updated.

 

In the early days of the 2004 DVD release, was there a recall on discs related to some kind of player incompatibility issue?

I was recently having a conversation with some fellow Star Wars nerds, and someone mentioned this disc recall to me. I don't remember anything about this. Is there some other Star Wars DVD event they might be confusing this with?

Some of those skanks in the nightclub scene from AOTC are smokin' hot.

Someone should do a fanedit wherein Greedo butts into every scene of every movie where a gunfight is about to start just so he can shoot first.

Frink?

Hey, does anyone here know the framerate of the scene in Empire where Luke has his vision?

I refer to this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVh4hAYjurQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=215s

Something Stupid From Blu-ray.com

I think people missunderstand the originals? Because most of the action is directed at Luke they seem to think he is the focus of the three movies. The focus of the originals was Darth Vader from the point of view of Luke, how can he redeem his father and bring back the Jedi he was? - P@t Mtl

The Lucas retcon strikes again!

There were many innocent people on the Death Stars.
