Premieres Wednesday, February 22, at 10:00 PM (ET/PT) (Tentative)

From Luke Skywalker's light sabre to Darth Vader's Death Star, the Star Wars franchise is one of the defining science fiction works of the later 20^th century. George Lucas' prolific imagination has already inspired two generations of scientists and engineers to push the envelope of technology. By introducing computers into the filmmaking process, he changed the way movies are made, and the way we all see the future. Surprisingly, many fictional technologies from "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" are now becoming a reality.

Newspaper in UK stated that Electrical store Currys (who ran the TV ad with R2 & 3PO) are due to show more Star Wars licensed ads for the build up to Christmas.

The ad is gonna show Vader arriving to a Currys store (as in ROTJ) with staff lined up ready for inspection.....maybe instead of 'the Emperors coming here' it'll be Saint Nick!

Seeing "George Luca$" and "Philip K. Dick" in the same sentence together makes me want to gouge my eyes out in anger.

The George Lucas episode of 'The Prophets of Science Fiction' is premiering as i'm typing.  Missed the first 15 minutes.  But when they aired a clip of Star Wars, I believe they've notated it as 1997.

*EDIT* SW is definitely labeled 1997.  ...but Empire clips are labeled 1980....

The show is about how works from books to movies spur real world science.  Episodes tend to showcase two of three technologies, along with a brief history of the author/creator and overview of the books/movies.

ITV isn't showing George's original vision?

Someone should sneak another alternate version on their broadcast drive.

TPM is on ITV1HD at the moment, with AOTC on next Saturday. It's a good bet they are going to show all 6 films. Not sure if they will be the blu-ray versions or not yet though.

EDIT: Just checked a bit of TPM and it's not the blu-ray version.

Are these being captured?  ;)

Been done already hasn't it?

If better results can be had by a better capture than the TPB, then why not?

It was presented in 16:9 zoomed, so not worth capturing, although the colouring didn't look as pink as the other HDTV captures.

Bummer on the zooming.....this could've been good for the DTS project going on.

Oh well....another time, maybe.

Thanks adywan. 

Maybe Carrie Fisher really is Matthew Perry???
