well it’s official, a kind of ANH/ESB hybrid. And yeah, the stuff sideshow had at SDCC was definately the RO Vader.

While I’d prefer a really accurate recreation of the ANH suit, I think this is probably he next best thing, and it looks pretty great. WAAAAAAAAY better than ROTS! Thank goodness!

I’m glad the cool gloves from SW are back. I’ve never cared for the TESB + ROTJ gloves.

Lucas’ EU in 1977 (midi-chlorians, space gypsies &amp; crystal currency)

Lucas talking about the Force is the most interesting part to me;
At first he just talks about how lightsabers are just regular weapons, but that they are preferred by the Jedi and he gives a pretty standard description of the Force. However when he talks about how “certain creatures are born with a higher awareness of the Force than humans”, he mentions that they have “more midi-chlorians I their cells.” So yes, Lucas did in fact make up midi-chlorians long before the PT, however here it’s a bit vaguer. And it’s interesting that it originates from this “improvisation” session.*
He also talks about how Luke needs “another twenty years before he actually begins to cope with [the Force] on a real level.” He also states that the Force can be learned by “anyone”.

(*EDIT: Seems like Lucas has been tampering with this particular part in Rinzler’s book.)

I wonder if that last bit of info will ever make its way here. I’m doubtful, but it may happen.

I wish there was a way to find out which images have/haven’t been posted without having to look through every single page of the thread.

Yhwx, can you please make an index post/thread that lists and links to every gif in this thread, with a simple explanation for each. Thank you in advance.

cmon, they talk about tapes but that dont look like a tape leia sticks in r2. So why can’t they just call it a data disc or data card?

Yeah, It’s almost as if Star Wars all happened in the past and in a galaxy that doesn’t match up with our own.
A Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… If you will.
Oh…

You must have missed the part where I said that they still could have redubbed the lines in 2004 or 2011.

The actor was probably still alive then so they could have used him still and it wouldn’t have to sound very different. GL probably could have got him for cheap too cause I don’t think he became a big actor or anything.

The movie taking place a long time ago don’t have any bearing cause Leia clearly wasn’t inserting a tape into R2. It was either a card or disc.

Now I wish they’d called it a wax cylinder instead of a tape.
