Actually it was a guy AT Lucasfilm that revealed this, so it wasn't an observant viewer.
It was one of the people responsible for it.

I'll go through my Behind the Magic CD. I think that chunk of video might be viewable on it, and if it is, I'll try to capture it.

I'm somehow doubting that he works there anymore. Knowing the perfectionist that Lucas is, I doubt he would be happy having those in his employ revealing the movie's dirty little secrets.

A prime example of calling a spade a spade.

Geeks come in all shapes and sizes...

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

In EP 1 when they go to negotiate. At the beginning of the movie. They’re having the fight with the droids, and he’s cutting though the door. Here it is. As they turn and run down the corridor they flash in and out being there, and not having a light saber than having one. very bad job if you ask me. If your bored you can play that part on slow and see what I mean. I don’t know if you can see it on a VHS but you can on DVD. that part always buged me so I played it slow one time to find out why.

Simpsons s1-3 are the only ones I own. My wife has purchased Friends s1-5 and the 4 disc "best of", Sex and the City s1-5, Dawson's Creek s1-2, Mad About You s1, and Felicity s1.

She owes me the Die Hard boxset which she said was going to be part of my Christmas gift but every store was out of it.

Too bad they don't get it. I personally don't care if people call me a geek.

Hmmm....well. I don't bother to read everything posted here. I have one thing to say...if ur being called a geek cause u like SW, then u r a little too obsessed probably. I love SW, but I've never been called a geek (much less any other name) for it. I think if I saw some guys on their way to a SW conference, I would make fun of them, & call them geeks. But I'm a mean person, so I don't count.

Oooh...the Simpsons are on....I gtg. *What a geek I am*
I just hate stupid people.

GO JETS!!!!

I imagine Socrates leaning in to Sigmund Freud and, in a thick Greek accent, saying "Geek."
