I don't see that. Are you sure this isn't another fanboy rumor?

I made a screen cap :

It is even more obvious in motion. Darth Vader's mask is slowly turning to the left.

Thanks! I can't wait to see the next parts!

That's a shame there's no video footage of Luke and Ben selling the landspeeder

It would have been awesome!

Great job! There are a lot of infos and great footage there! I'm amazed by the quality of your work especially on the sandcrawler part!

However here is something you could add to the shots of Aunt Beru's and Uncle Owen's homestead.
It was shot at Matmata and not in Tatouhouine (which is for the exteriors of Mos Esley) in the Sidi Driss hotel:

In french, the main characters have different names indeed!

Darth Vader = Dark Vador

Luke Skywalker = Luc Skywalker (it is even rumored that Skywalker was changed to Courleciel (skyrunner) in the end titles of Star Wars)

Han Solo = Yann Solo (only in Star Wars. He's called Han in ESB and ROTJ)

C3PO / 3PO = Z6PO / 6PO

Chewbacca / Chewie = Chiquetabac (litterally Chew Tobacco) / Chico (only called like this in Star Wars)

and some locations and ships too :

Millenium Falcon = Millenium Condor (only in Star Wars)

Death Star = L'Etoile Noire (Black Star)

Alderaan = Alderande

You can buy "George Lucas in love" DVD on Amazon.

Great covers Rebel Rouser! I wish I could do something like those!

However, shouldn't we read "by the evil Imperial forces in their effort..." on the Episode IV cover?

Any other relavant info?

Yes, they both don't have the "Leia welding scene".

The "Farsight" version has a much better image and sound quality but lacks a menu and the audio commentary featuring on the "Dr. Gonzo".

I do hope MeBejedi will make ESB anamorphic, because both Dr Gonzo's and Farsight's versions don't have Leia's welding scene.

I don’t know if it has been posted before…

Some fans are working on an amazing Star Wars short. The acting and the light sabers fights are not very good but the special effects are just mind blowing. Check this out:

Could we have a higher resolution one in order to be able to read the DVDs titles?

oh, and one pic of your left shelf would be great too!

Why? Does not the ORIGINAL Special Edition deserve to also be archived?

I mean I like the SE's - I don't like greedo or jabba - but the rest is WONDERFUL - Now that the new offical DVD's are out the ORIGINAL SPECIAL EDITIONS are gone.

I have at least three YOUNGER friends that saw Star Wars the FIRST time as the Special Editions what about their memories?

NOT everyone on this board is 30-40 years old - SOME members only really know the SE's and have only seen the originals on TV riddled with commercials and some time with missing scenes.

Think about it NO MATTER how bad ANY of you feel about the SE's - THEY also deserve to be archived restored and converted form Laserdisc to DVDr - there are some out there now but I'm sure we can make a better capture - MeBeJedi - I'll send you my SE LD's for this if your down!

Sorry for the rant but man the original trilogy is NOT the only version of Star Wars the deserves to be remembered...

only ESB and ROTJ need to be converted. the Reivax conversion of ANH can't be top because it has been made from a digital beta source.
