A month or so ago, Zombie posted an article on savestarwars.com about the NFR preserving the original cut of SW. Soon after the article was published, the page was taken down and cached by Google. No one has mentioned the article since on any of these boards. So my question is: did LFL order Google to have the page taken down, or was it shut down by someone else?
It doesn't work that way. Google can't have pages taken of of web sites. They don't host the sites, they just provide an index of them. Google's cacheing of the page is just their way of archiving it at the time they found it, similar to what Wayback Machine does. The closest LFL could request Google do is not list the page in searches, but even that's not foolproof.
If the page isn't on ssw.com anymore then it's because Zombie took it down, not LFL or Google.
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.
The article was only put up temporarily so we could get a sneak peek.

Zombie is probably still waiting to hear back from the people quoted in the article to give their final a-ok, or he's just busy with regular life.
Google and Lucasfilm could never work together. Neither would want to be the apprentice in that evil relationship. ;)
Where were you in '77?

Oh no, Lucas got to all of us!!!
Actual LOL.
Every 27th customer will get a ball-peen hammer, free!
I figured that the reason no one's mentioned the article since is because we've all assumed Zombie was tidying it up or has become preoccupied with something else or something along those lines and left it at that; it happens all the time.
Seriously, frevious, you're getting to be far too paranoid for your own good.
Oh. Case closed.
I am such an ass.
