Listening to Rob Paulsen (Pinky, Yakko Warner) talk with Mark Hamill. Talking a bit about Star Wars:

Mark Hamill said:

Now we didn't have any sway, but fortunately Marcia Lucas was the one that made him [George] not cut the kiss before we swung over, he was going to cut that because it kept getting laughs in the previews. She said "But its getting a good laugh because its out of nowhere and so innocent and its so unexpected." He didn't like the laugh when we were bringing Chewie down from the holding cell where the little thing comes up *sound effect* and he goes *sound effect* and he runs away. He cut that. He has a funny thing about humor. Witness Jar Jar Binks. *laughter* I don't know what to tell you.

...

I don't want to give him any grief about that, because I mean I've stuck up for Jar Jar Binks before. People go, "Oh, he's so annoying," I said, "he's meant to be annoying! He's annoying the other characters in the movie!" But again, humor is subjective as they say.

The wife and I watched "People vs George Lucas" on Netflix tonight. In the post-movie conversation, my wife brought up this shot:

She always felt like Qui-Gon was looking straight at the camera, when we hit on it: Liam Neeson wasn't talking to Watto, he was talking to George. "Sometimes when you gamble, eventually you lose" indeed.

She also brought up her big problem with the prequels: they look like completely separate movies with no visual continuity with the originals. Now this is a girl whose first experience with Star Wars was the SE VHSes, you know, the versions that are supposed to tie directly into the "visual style" of the prequels. She was a fan for less than two years before Episode I came out and immediately noticed.

Watching PvGL was pretty fun. I kept yelling at the TV, then they ended up saying what I was about to say. Nice to see Jay for quite a bit of time, TMBTM for a bit (subtitled!), and Adywan for a few seconds.

How weird, I've watched about half of it the past two nights in short bursts.  Haven't seen TMBTM or ady yet (at least, I don't think so) but I did see the section on ot.com  Weird to see Jay, who I'm still not convinced exists, not to mention a few shots of the forum with some familiar names (Gaffer, bkev, and Puggo to name a few).

TPM almost looks and feels like the originals in a couple places. Some Tatooine scenes, and the final battle against the droid control ship. That has more to do with the use of physical models and shooting on film more than anything else I guess.

Funny how it took the Clone Wars series to bring in things we should have seen in the prequels, like shiny new Y-Wings.

I'M FAMOUS! I hope it's something intelligent and not goofy that I said.

It's just a vertical scrolling shot of one of the forums where you can see topics and avatars.  You must have either started a topic they showed or you were the last reply in a topic, I don't quite remember which.

I remember seeing Puggo's avatar.

“Grow up. These are my Disney's movies, not yours.”

90% of the avatars are captainsolo for some reason.

I kept finding mistakes in the section on the Special Editions. They called the DVD Jabba "2001" and had video from the DVD labelled 1997, including in the part where they discussed the changes to the titles.

Do you remember him from before he was a ghost? You know, when he was still alive? ;-)

Wait, I was in it?  Where's my screenshot?!  Wheeeeee!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Here's a random STAR WARS thought:

Lucas: I am altering the film. Pray I don't alter it any further.

Fans: This film is getting worse all the time!

Just thought it was funny :-)
