The Empire Strikes Back is perfectly symmetrical and it's amazing.
I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.

It's funny that so many fans accuse the EU of basically being fanfiction, 'cause I've found some fanfiction that is actually better than a lot of the EU.

Oh no you don't. If this thread isn't about EU, and it's not, it's double-not about fan fiction.

Does anyone know where this footage originated from?
Doesn't look like the Behind the Magic CD-ROM as I don't recall it having behind the scenes footage like that. Guy says the whole thing is 12 minutes long.
Is that Marsha Lucas in that one shot?

I recall that being discussed around here when it was first discovered, but don't know if anyone ever found out the source.
Where were you in '77?

Source unknown... I wonder where did he get the mold!
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

The side walls are not slanted and don't have any side panel inserts ...
Check out the Star Wars section on The Replica Prop Forum for some better examples.

If storm troopers are clones from a bad-ass bounty hunter, "Jango" "Fett" why are they all killed so easily, especially in episode IV? Also shouldn't it be "Django"?

The stormtroopers in the OT aren't clones of Mango.

That's like asking if "Rhys" shouldn't be spelt "Reese", "Jon" spelt "John", "Alan" spelt "Allan", and so on.

"Mango"? Am I missing something here? Who the hell is Mango? A fruity bounty hunter? Also what are they then just a bunch of bitch stewies now?

Tango Fett was the clone template of Boba Fett and the clone troopers as played by New Zealander actor Temuera Morrison in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. I thought this was common knowledge. *shrug*
Also what are they then just a bunch of bitch stewies now?
Enlistees, conscripts, etc. made up of common, everyday human and near-human beings.

The most important thing people forget is that Vader wanted them to escape. So the Stormtroopers were under orders to make a show of trying to capture them but allowing them ultimately to get away so that they can be tracked back to the Rebel Base.
Stormtroopers are no joke, we're told what crack shots they are and are given evidence of such. They were able to disable an enormous Sandcrawler with a few precisely aimed shots. And lets not forget what happened to Uncle Own and Aunt Beru.
In ESB they completely decimate the Hoth base. A base considerably better protected than the older Yavin one.

Troops paints an entirely different picture of those events on Tatooine though. ;)

I suppose one could say that the only film which really depicts the stormtroopers in an incompetant light is ROTJ (which really isn't all the surprising).

Someone should make a new prequel trilogy in a Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid/Kung Pow manner by editing old movies together into Star Wars stories. Toshiro Mifune as young Obi-Wan.

I've decided to start referring to the '97 Special Edition as the "Second Edition" of the SWT, being that it has attempted to replace the original "First Edition". Then comes the "Third Edition" in 2004, and then the "Fourth Edition" in 2011. (Fourth time, Force time unlucky!?)
While I think of it, I'll throw in "Edition 1.5" if you want to count the addition of the "A New Hope" subtitle.
Ol’ George has the GOUT, I see.

^Impossible scenario. It would take hundreds of years before Boba was digested that far.
