Or maybe she's RZA, and Matthew Perry is just a distraction?

From the beginning, but not necessarily complete. Apparently they'll be skipping some of the sillier episodes, and expanding a few that were cut for content in their original airing. However, three episodes in, neither one of those things has happened yet.

Hm? I was unaware that the show had any content cut when it already received a TV-PG rating. I may have ot tune into Toonami after all...

A recent past Star Wars tv highlight was brought to my attention by Charlie Brookers' 2013 wipe program.  There was a show where two people went into a box and had sex.  One of the participants was a fellow and his mate, who was wearing a Boba Fett jacket, while he talked about "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCiztXBHKoQ FFWD ~25:40" and the crowd laughed.

ABC Airs "COUNTDOWN TO THE OSCARS: 15 MOVIES THAT CHANGED AMERICAN CINEMA" tonight 2/17/15 at 10pm EST.

I imagine SW will be included in which case there may be some new interview clips worth watching. We'll see....

I watched it.

Unsurprisingly, Star Wars was #1 on their list of the most influential movies. Of course ABC's parent corporation couldn't pass up the chance to get in a shameless plug for The Force Awakens. It was interesting seeing footage from the two movies intercut, albeit cropped to fill the 16:9 tv frame.

Forgot to pay attention to this, but I don't remember noticing any obvious-to-the-layman SE shots aside from the Alderaan and Death Star explosions. It seemed like they were focusing more on character and dialogue anyway, but it's nice they at least tried keeping it to what people actually saw in 1977.

Pretty sure it was the existing Lowry transfer.

The interview clips with Ford were interesting. I don't think I'd ever heard about him telling George "move your lips as you type, it might make it easier for us somewhere down the line." Unless that was just his cleaned-up-for-tv version of the "you can write this shit, George, but you can't say it" story.

Star Wars changed how films were made and marketed and i love the movie to pieces but it not the most important American film ever made.

Hardly surprising it was supposedly so because Abc is owned by Disney.

No bias there.

 Ha!  Even if that's the case, it sure as hell sounds funnier that way to me.

The actors thought the dialog George wrote was bad.

I suppose they found the replacement lines by the co writers more satisfactory.

George never wrote Star Wars, Empire or Return of the Jedi without other people writing on the movie.

He mistakenly thought he could write a script without help the first such script since the rough draft screenplay for star wars.

As much as i see the rough draft as an interesting oddity all the flaws and weaknesses in Phantom Menace were already there.

It wasn't "most important," just their list of the 15 "most influential" movies. Sixteen Candles made the list for Christ's sake.

And this is something that's common for movies in general.

 The AFI picked it to represent the entire 1970's in a retrospective of the 20th Century in cinema. Unfortunately, Lucasfilm prevented an OT print from being shown.

Had they allowed a print to be shown it would have been the special edition from 1997.  Its the only prints of archival quality in Lucasfilm's hands.

According to Lynn Hale anyway.

 That's what they offered the AFI, which defeated the purpose of the festival.
