Watched the Jedi section of Disc 8.

A couple little surprises here. A blooper from Star Wars where the mirror under the landspeeder falls off, and a glimpse of the "lightman" alien they couldn't get to work in Jabba's palace.

There are bits of the video storyboard for the speeder bike chase seen here that aren't in "Star Wars to Jedi". Would have been nice if it were shown in it's entirety, especially as split screen with the finished sequence. Someone forgot to correct Dennis Muren when he says G.I. Joe figures were used. It was Kenner SW figures of course. ;)

One of the movie transitions throws Wicket's new uber creepy eyes at you without warning. I blacked out for a couple minutes I think. :P

Some key props and models should be here but aren't. Jabba's barge and Vader's reveal helmet are no brainers. The metal bikini is represented to all perverted fanboy's delight.

Richard Marquand is curiously absent. (Is that his voice feeding lines to the rebel pilots?) They couldn't include even one vintage interview clip?

Harrison Ford on Lucas as a director seems misplaced here unless you subscribe to the backseat director theory.
