She's a frequent guest on his show, and a lot of times she doesn't have anything in particular to plug. But, we'll see!

I read a story in Empire magazine when TPM came out about how Alec Guiness, after being approached by a young fan, boasting he'd seen star wars over 100 times, told to said fan to promise him one thing - never watch star wars again.

Carrie Fisher will be on with Craig Ferguson tonight. I wonder if he'll ask her about the Disney deal?

Also, does Hollywood use models and/or puppets in movies anymore?

Are there any movies still shot on real film?

Just when it starts getting quiet around here.... ;-)

With Disney at the helm, I guess things won't be any WORSE than they currently are.

If Disney somehow manages to release the OOT, GL can maintain his distance from the idea & claim his hands are clean of the project.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. :-/ Does Disney now own the rights to eps 1, 2 & 3?
Does this help our cause or hurt it?

I don't care at all about any future films. It will be just a further degradation of the franchise.

Happy 61st Birthday to Mark Hamill! (and happy 6th anniversary of this thread).
;-)

So mean! :-P Was that a roast for Barr?

Why did this chroma shift only occur in ESB?

I don't know why it's only in some scenes in ESB. I just know Lucasfilm are masters at screwing their movies up. And the GOUT trilogy is full of errors.

Chroma-shift too?

Yeah but the chroma shift is only in ESB. I've already incorporated the fix for it in our script.

I'm trying to prove a point to a friend. Please give me as much input as possible. Even compare characters (Example: Darth Vader > Nero, any why).

Hamill was great in Corvette Summer.

Back in September of '04, I distinctly remember my roommate and I catching something on vh1 called "When Star Wars Ruled the World." As you might've guessed from the timing, it was all an excuse to (albeit quickly) pimp the dvd set in the last moments (Ben Burtt says something like "oh, I'm looking forward to the dvd release, just because of the quality").

Anyway, another thing they bring up in the last moments is, of course, the prequels. Now, remember this was a vh1 documentary and, as such, had very quick back-and-forth sound bridge editing, but Mark Hamill definitely says (and I'll try and type this the way it sounded) "I saw the new movies, aaaaaaand, they're not Star Wars."

I wish I could just find the clip somewhere to show you guys so you could actually hear how he says it. He doesn't have a harsh tone in his voice or anything, quite the opposite. There's that very cautious way he says "aaaaaaand" like he's thinking "oh, I don't want to piss anyone off with what I'm about to say." The way he says "they're not Star Wars" is as gentle as can be.

Like I said, all of this goes by in like two seconds, but afterwards you process what you heard and you're like "...... MARK HAMILL said the prequels AREN'T STAR WARS." Obviously they're weren't any hard feelings from George. I mean, the guy invited him to Celebration V. In fact, I might just be reading too much into Mark's comment.

And who knows what he thought of ROTS!?

I didn't like that article's Hamill-bashing.  I always felt he's been wrongly maligned.  But I suppose that's for another thread.

I have one of those. I seem to remember you had to send in UPC proofs from Kenner SW figurines to get one for free (there might have been a small postage & handling fee).

Try the Memorabilia Discussion forum.

I used to think there were two versions of the medal-ceremony scene in SW because HBO used to crop off Han in the final close-up, and other networks like CBS cropped off Luke. I had only seen the film theatrically once at that point (early-mid '80s) and I had forgotten that the original widescreen version showed both.

Even if the original negatives decay to a point where they're completely beyond restoration, maybe technology will one day improve to the point where you can do a complete restoration from something as crappy as the GOUT.

I think this is good news- it certainly can't get any worse at LFL. Maybe Kennedy will bring some sanity back, and we might get the OOT restored, and on blu-ray...someday.

I thought her bod looked pretty good. I've never thought Carrie is pretty face-wise (to me she'll always look like a cuter, female Eddie Fisher) but she was definitely in good shape back then. I actually just finished watching her on Craig Ferguson & she looks like she's gained back some of the Jenny Craig weight. :-/

Ab queck zenick fesi ...

It's so weird, because today is my nephew's birthday (who is also a SW fan) and for some reason, I totally forgot about it also being SW's birthday this year which I normally never forget. Maybe because there's not much to celebrate in SW-land today. :-/

I must have remembered it subliminally, though, because early this morning I printed out a SW pic that I want to use to make a T-shirt.

Thanks for the article. I've only communicated with one person that used to work for ILM (I bought some 70mm film cels from him) and he said that he wasn't paid very well there. FWIW.

I thought this thread was a tribute to the inflatable auto-pilot in "Airplane!" ;-)

I vaguely remember as a child getting the same effect while looking at everyday objects thru a kaleidoscope.
