I'm confused. I've never broken a single controller before! My N64 sticks are getting a bit loose, but I don't see how that's avoidable/fixable.

The only controller I've ever had that's out of commission is one of my SNES controllers. My then puppy (now 9 year old dog) chewed on the cord, and it stopped working. I still have it, though, as I couldn't bear to part with an original accessory.

So what have you guys been doing to your controllers?

Chewie: *growl*
Han: Chewie?
Chewie: *growl*
Han: Chewie, is that you?
Chewie: *growl*
Han: Chewie! I can't see, pal. What's going on?
Chewie: *growl*
Han: Luke? Luke's crazy! He can't even take care of himself, much less rescue anybody.
Chewie: *growl*
Han: Wha--a Jedi Knight? I'm out of it for a little while, and everybody gets delusions of grandeur (yes, I got to cover both delusions of grandeur lines in the OT!)! I'm alright, pal. I'm alright.

Yeah, I seem to have a knack for editing as well. In my perfect world, a director would edit his own films anyway... well, of course that happens in the indy scene, so yeah. But I think big-budget directors should do it too.

Except George Lucas.

EDIT: And congratulations on your graduation, both Ingo and Chalts!

Oh, come on. Like that even matters. I knew it was there, but I didn't feel that Huttese garbage during a song was all that important, or even really counted as dialogue, so I condensed it, as you can see. ^_^ Can't wait until people start talking English, er, Basic again! This Huttese crap is stupid!!!!

Jabba: Blah, blah, blah, thaaty-five.
3PO: Jabba offers the sum of thirty-five. And I do suggest you take it!
Boushh: *Boushh*
3PO: He agrees!
Chewie: *growl*

Heh, glad to see I'm not the only nostalgia-driven fan out there. Anyway, I noticed some cool things about ESB's storybook as well, for those who are interested. It briefly mentions the wampa subplot by 3PO telling Luke that they had some locked away on the base. It retains the death of General Veers. It leaves out Han and Leia's kiss on the Falcon, but it has some interesting dialogue when Han's about to be put into carbonite:

Leia took Han in her arms. "I love you," she said, her eyes filling with tears. "I wish I'd told you before."

Han tried to be brave. "Remember that, 'cause I'll be back." He kissed her softly on the forehead.

Okay, the forehead thing's kinda weird, but I really liked the line. It's not quite, "I know," but it still retains that Han Solo personality.

The thing I found the weirdest was the revelation scene. It has the radio version's line of, "No, Luke. I am your father" (in bold and italics). But what happens soon after is really weird...

But there was another way. It was the only way for Luke. With the utmost calm, Luke stepped off the platform and let himself fall into the chasm.

Vader rushed forward and made Luke a witness to the Dark Lord's power. He held out his hand and a great wind caught hold of Luke. It swept him back up the shaft. Then Vader gestured again and, as abruptly as it had started, the wind ceased. Vader let him go. Now Luke was falling again--faster and faster.

Um, okay, so Vader had the power to bring Luke back after he escaped. It seemed like Vader was like, "Almost got him! Almost got him! Ah, to hell with this!"
