Vader: You have learned much, young one.
Luke: You'll find I'm full of surprises!
Vader: All too easy. Perhaps you are not as strong as the Emperor thought. Impressive! Most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger! Only your hatred can destroy me! Ooof!

I'm sure I won't. I wish you'd post in the ESB thread once more before you go, though (if it's not too late). I was making such progess against you a few days ago, but now it seems like we're stuck in a stalemate. I guess that's because I'm working now (had my first full shift today! tiring as hell but still pretty fun). We'll have to see how our epic struggle pans out.

Boba Fett: Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold.
R2: Beep!
3PO: R2, what are you doing here?! Wait! Turn around, you woolly! Hurry! We're trying to save Han from the bounty hunter! (Wow, I just noticed... is the only time that 3PO refers to Han by his first name?) Well, at least you're still in one piece! Look what happened to me!

I don't know if it's a good idea. We all know how George is. If he remade the movies, those would be his "vision," and the original trilogy (in any version) would suddenly and magically "cease to exist," and we'd never see them again.

I think I like the first ones in Falle's post best, for the front cover anyway.

Hell, the episode numbers weren't used until the 2000 Special Edition release. They sure as hell weren't on the '97 releases because no one started referring to them by their episode numbers until the giant "Episode I" campaign. And at least from the '95 release on, they were using the subtitle "A New Hope" in packaging, but it was little teeny tiny underneath the big "Star Wars," which is the real title of the movie.

But, yeah, I hate the episode numbers too. I didn't mind when he did it with the prequels, because, well, that's what he wanted to do. But when he started retconning the old titles, and I saw them in the same boring uniform logo style as the prequel logos, that's when I got pissed.

R2: Beep beep
Leia: Luke, don't! It's a trap! Ugh! It's a trap!

Unless I'm mistaken, that's the only dialogue in that entire exchange.

Vader: Well, Calrissian? Did he survive?
Lando: Yes, he's alive. And in perfect hibernation.

EDIT: Ooh, I just realized that I had the honor of transcribing Han's last line in this movie!

Yes, that's true, too. Maltin even asked him when the next movie came out, and Lucas estimated a '98 or '99 release.

Yeah, the Faces art was pretty nice, but I always thought Yoda looked a little weird (besides hardly being in Return of the Jedi).

I think you have some pretty interesting interpretations, and I agree with a lot of them, but when he says "this trilogy" he is definitely referring to the prequel trilogy. If you watch the documentaries in The Phantom Menace, it shows a day in the life of Lucas from 1995, taking his kids to school and stuff like that. It was, specifically, the day in 1995 when he first started writing the script for The Phantom Menace. So it was definitely in his head at that point.

Oh, yeah, congratulations! Wow, I totally didn't even see that post. Grr. You're starting to gain some ground. Too many new threads lately (see: anamorphic fiasco) to keep up, so I scaled back posting a little bit. But don't worry. I'll kill you soon. Have a nice day. ^_^

Heh, Darth Saruman. I love that. And yeah, that's what I was getting at with Yoda too. The spirituality of the Force is never really delved into in the prequels (the midi-chlorians pretty much killed that possibility). It's all about moving really fast, jumping really high, and having really cool-looking swords. And I admit they had some pretty cool fights, but if you bring Yoda and the Emperor into the fray, then you expect to see something different! Something sagey and guru-like. Instead, everybody has the same powers.

EDIT: And that's what I always used to think the difference was between Jedi Knight (hello, the word knight mean anything to anybody?) and Jedi Master. Masters were the teachers. They were higher up. Maybe they had been knights back in the day, or maybe they had taken a different path in the Force than Knights. That's why, I always thought, Obi-Wan could fight but managed to fail at training Anakin properly and why Yoda would have been a better choice. He was a Master. Training was what he did! Fighting was what Obi-Wan did.

Heh, that reminds me of Orson Welles's comment when Ted Turner wanted to colorize Citizen Kane. It was something like, "Keep Ted Turner and his damned box of Crayolas away from my movie!!!"

I'm not old enough to have experienced Star Wars in theatres, but I know the impact it had, not only on the industry (although I lack the first person perspective of that) but on myself personally.

I'm pretty sure I left out a line. It's been bugging me ever since I posted last time where this line could possibly go, but I think I finally have it figured out. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Vader: This facility is crude, but it should be adequate to freeze Skywalker for his journey to the Emperor.
Piett (I think, or it could be some random flunky): Lord Vader. Ship approaching, X-Wing class!
Vader: Good. Monitor Skywalker and allow him to land!
Lando: Lord Vader, we only use this...

And continuing on from there.
