Hey you know what, what if Leia licked Chewy's leg? Then she kept the hair in her mouth while wearing socks to get static electricity by rubbing her feet on his other leg. Then Han blows up a balloon. He rubs it on Chewy's back for more static electricity. Then he hovers the balloon above Leia's mouth. Then Chewy's hair in Leia's mouth do a small lava lamp dance to Han's balloon. Meanwhile Luke is sulking in his room because he refused to join the "foursome" thinking it was something else entirely.

Then his Sebastian Shaw daddy ghost appears and tells him what they're really up to. Luke looks at his hands. Wondering what kind of genes he shares with Leia hoping to be spared the balloon hair thoughts. Then he goes over to some nearby fruit and squeezes it over his own head. Vader now sees what his kids are up to now that he's dead. http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/1693/happyx.gif

The starwars.com website has not been the same since the forums and hyperspace closed down the least few years. I rarely come here like I use to and it’s not a cool as it once was. Also the great clone wars episode guides that where once there are all gone. Now all the content and other stuff is re directed to Wookiepedia and fan sites. Not at all like it use to be. And all the old news articles are all gone. Everything is now on Facebook or Twitter or a few news articles on the website. Please give us back starwars.com the way it use to be. And please bring back hyperspace , the forums and the blogs.

I noticed that he was waving it pretty close to Obi-wan towards the end of that scene when we watched it the other day.

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

This Memorial Day weekend heralded the annual Phoenix Comicon. On my way there on the last day I noticed one of the people sitting in front of me on the light rail was wearing a Star Wars themed shirt. Upon closer inspection I found that it said "Show us on the trilogy where George hurt you."

So I decided to strike up a conversation and asked him and his brother about the shirt and if they had ever heard of originaltrilogy.com. They didn't recognize the URL until I briefly went over the history of the petition and then suddenly one of the brothers asked me about the preservation efforts and if there were any HD projects. Which was quite surprising as I didn't mention that aspect of the site at all. Just an interesting occurrence I thought I'd share. =P

We got a new TV today. I was looking through my Blu-rays for something to try it out with, check out the colors, and it was really sad that I couldn't do it with my favorite movies. I tried, but it really only showed how the Blus are so messed up.

*sigh**

Just put in ESB, go to an outdoor scene on Hoth, and adjust color settings until the snow goes from blue to white. :)

I was buying some plastic kids' cups at Target the other day. The Avengers ones were on the end-cap and I followed them into the aisle. They had lots of girl ones (barbie and whogivesacrapaboutgirlstuff ones) and I snagged a bunch of boy ones. Transformers, Captain America, aforementioned Avengers... and they had 6 or 7 Star Wars ones. The first one I saw had R2 and 3PO in sharp, full-colour detail on the front, and low contrast, blue-scale Han and Leia on one side and B-Wings blowing-stuff-up on the other. I thought it was an odd layout, but in the cart it went! Then I saw RotJ Luke cutting a mean figure in his robe with his green sabre cracklin' and that instantly went in the cart.

I got a Lego Vader + Troopers cup, and a "many poses of Vader" cup. There was a Maul cup, a Quigon cup, and PT/OT Yoda cup which I did not get. There was kind of a cool one that had both Clone and Stormtroopers, but I left it on the shelf.

ALL OF THE SUDDEN!

I noticed PT Obi-Wan and PT Anakin on a cup, and then recognized it as the other side of the RotJ Luke cup I already had in the cart. It was such an instant buy, that I didn't even check to see what shenanigans were occuring on the other side of the cup!

So... for those of you keeping score:
1/7 cups had Luke on it*
1/7 cups was purely OT*
1/7 cups had Vader and no direct PT references (though I know some of it RotS stuff)*
1/7 cups had only OT Lego stuff on it.
2/7 cups were PT only
2/7 cups were mix of PT/OT

And people keep telling me I can just ingore the PT if I don't like it. *eyeroll*

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

Apologies if this has been covered.

It's recently been noted that the exterior shots of the Falcon cockpit have been cropped in Empire. Unless I'm mistaken, there has been some mystery as to why this was done.

Well, the answer seems to lie in The Making of the Empire Strikes Back. See, when George had the cockpit set designed for Star Wars he wanted it be a cramped set in order to reflect real world cockpits.

When it came time to rebuild the set for Empire, Kurtz requested that it be built a bit more spaciously. Why? Apparently, the actors had complained to him that the cramped quarters of the original set were hindering their performance. Lucas didn't know about the change and was not pleased once he found out, but by then the set had been completed and he could not afford the time or money to have it rebuilt.

So, over twenty years later he has the cockpit frames zoomed in and cropped to give the appearance of a more compact space. Why he simply didn't have Kershner film it that way in the first place remains a mystery.
