Obi-Wan ("No blasters! No blasters")

Obi-wan:

Sigh... yes I know who said that line. And it certainly wasn't that actor ^

I was refrencing the exact moment that last shot of Toshiro Mifune most closely evoked.

The original dialogue from the actors on set in cantina is amazing... I will never be able to watch that scene again without hearing in a thick cockney accent...

"OI! We don't serve there kind in ere"

Yes to British ears those accents sound damned menacing in the context of that seedy Cantina. Like the bartender is a futureistic Kray era gangster. Same with Dr Evizan's cockney accent sounding better in the rough cut. I end up imagining that if Ben hadn't pulled out his Sabre they were gonna give Luke a Chelsea smile lol

^ "You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems"

Although obviously David Prowse's voice needed changing... a Bristol Vader would have been frickin' insane.

Maybe that would've been a good, and subtle parody. Having them both look almost identical lol

Princess Leia is actually sleeping in that pic while the droids are arguing over who is going to rape her first.

Apparently this (From another public info film) is from 1976, a year before Star Wars... (Click to play YouTube clip)

...So the prequels were almost right. Vader did build one of the Droids but it was actually R2!

!Bombshell!

(btw Getting waaaay off topic here lol)

You totally inspired me to watch that movie* again last night! I had forgotten all about that scene. :-P I love Vincent Price.

(*Theatre Of Blood, for anyone who hasn't seen it).

It's funny that RMQ's designs of R2 had that spinning thing on his head too:

This early one......they didn't use his voice

But getting back to the original subject.....there was quite a lot of droid activity in that room that 3PO went into, maybe it was a droid toilet, maybe the voice was George Michael

Here's an idea to solve the "What was it that Threepio saw?!?!?" debate. I've made up blank comic book panels for those of you with a sense of humour and a dab of artistic talent...

Either paste somebody or something over this middle panel ^ or,

Paste in a shot from another movie over this ^.

(Click images ^ to see larger versions) Post your ideas... winner gets a case of vintage Jawa-Juice.

Has there ever been an official translation of "E Chu ta!"

What kind of sick mind programs a droid to be a potty mouth anyway?

Where were you in '77?

It could be 'Get the **** outta here!' which 3PO not knowing that The Empire were in the city misunderstood as rudeness
