The Empire Strikes Back Script Game
Time
Well, in my marathon viewing session, I'm almost to ESB, so I'll pay attention. If I'm wrong, I'll freely and openly admit it. But, geez, guys, one word? I've made bigger errors in the past (as have others!) that got less attention! ^_~

Han: Watch out! Just what I thought. Mynock. Chewie, check the rest of the ship. Make sure there are no more attached. Probably chewing on the power cables.
Leia: Mynock?
Han: Go on inside. We'll clean 'em off if there are any more.

EDIT: Removed the first two lines of mine, which YIYF had just taken care of.

Congress may clamp down on MySpace
Time
Well, I think it should it be up to individual libraries or schools then, to institute bans on material from within their walls. It is within their rights to restrict access to whatever they want. I personally don't think an occasional check would do much harm, but I'm sure I agree that its use is probably overblown. So it should be at a local level. It shouldn't be for Congress to decide.

What do you look like?
Time
Hmm. Interesting. I agree that other things might overshadow high school, and, of course, looking back, all the worries aren't as important as they once seemed, but that doesn't mean its impact in your life is diminished. And it's about the same time you reach adulthood and move out of your parents' house (presumably), so it's a big milestone.

Um, yeah, that is how it goes. The only difference you wrote was having a, "Hah!" in place of "No." I've always heard it as, "No," and the captions and subtitles for every set I've had have translated it as that. But is one word really that worthy of nit-picking? Anyway...

Ben: So was I, if you'll remember.
Yoda: He is too old. Yes. Too old to begin the training.
Luke: But I've learned so much.
Yoda: Will he finish what he begins?
Luke: I won't fail you. I'm not afraid.
Yoda: You will be. You will be.

Yoda: Oh, father! Powerful Jedi was he! Hmm! Powerful Jedi!
Luke: Oh, come on. How could you know who my father is. You don't even know who I am! I don't even know what I'm doing here! We're wasting our time!
Yoda: I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.
Ben: He will learn patience.
Yoda: Much anger in him. Like his father.
Ben: Was I any different when you taught me.
Yoda: No.

Lucas talks about the Sept 12th Release of the O-OT

Let's look at that quote again.

Originally spoken by: George Lucas
It's just the original versions, as they were. We didn't do anything to it at all. But we're not sure how many people want that. Now we'll find out whether they really wanted the original or whether they wanted the improved versions. It'll all come out in the end. Added by: Jennifer Vineyard
Lucas claims he's not re-releasing the originals to appease fans, but rather to bate them.
If you read what Lucas actually said, without the interpretation put on it by the "journalist", I think it's pretty encouraging. It suggests to me that he will be using sales of the new sets to determine popularity of the OOT vs. the SSE, despite packaging them together. This implies that if the set is very successful, LFL will continue to release the OT in future editions/formats, which I think we all hope for.


I've actually noticed that myself, too, but I guess I was too frenzied to let it bother me. That, or I've just been letting myself assume that that was paraphrasing for a quote that was cut out. At least, that's what I hope.

Lucas and The Winter's Tale
Time
I'm glad you see the resemblance, and that I'm not just grasping at straws. I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it. I hadn't heard of it until about a year and a half ago when audition announcements went up. Most people I've talked to seem to not like it. I found it rather enjoyable. It's classified by Shakespearean... classifiers as a romance. It really combines aspects of tragedy, comedy, farce, and romance. The first half is decidedly tragic, but the second half is much more humorous and less realistic.
