"If Luke has absolutley no recollection of his mother even though he was first born,named and held by his mother , and stronger in the force than Leia, how does Leia have memories of her? I don't want to make excuses because I think George seriously dropped the ball on this one, but isn't it more likely that Leia's recollections of her mother are of Bail's wife, (ASIDE FROM THE ANNOTATED SCREENPLAY)"

A few things:

It may be more likely to you, but that doesn't mean that's how it goes. Secondly, even if Luke is stronger, you have to remember that all he ever thought about was his father. Leia might have been the opposite, and even then, she had very few visions of her mom.

Secondly, thinking that newborn babies have good vision and remember what they see doesn't make sense at all.

And thinking that she's thinking about her step-mother, or even one of the handmaidens (as some are wont to believe) really sucks a lot more heart and soul out of the scene in ROTJ. Instead of feeling Leia's compassion for her mom, we now see it as her misguided belief that her Force visions have something to do with her real mom, which is in the script - as opposed to the Annotated Screenplays.

"Well for that matter Threepio was useless in the OT as well- just comic relief... but 1000% better than Jar-Jar!"

Quote
"Jar Jar was perhaps the most risky characters of all - not only because he would be entirely computer generated, but because he was the first truly comedic character ever to inhabit a Star Wars movie. "George told me that we were going out on a limb," [Ahmed] Best recalled. "See-Threepio was funny, but in a very formal way. And Chewbacca got some laughs, but he was basically just a big bouncer for the Millenium Falcon. Jar Jar was the first outright comic character." - Making of Episode One


Sorry, but they are worlds apart in concept. Lucas even admits as much.

That's difficult to say without watching the video. I know Silverwook has a Betamax player. You should send it to him and let him watch it. If it's playable, then you get the player.

Or...since he lives close to me (1-2 hours away, IIRC), I could get the tape and player from him, and make the transfer myself.
