It's funny how alien fish-keeping is to the Quebecois (and the South Americans). It just isn't a thing here. People always assume I mean angling when I list it as one of my hobbies. It's easy to see why it's a foreign idea to the South American kids--half the fish come from where they live.

The group of immigrants here is very different than what I'm used to. About half are from South or Central America and the rest are mostly from Africa. There are very few people from the Middle East, India, or African countries like Nigeria, unlike in Alberta, where most immigrants are from there.

Episode IV: A Ridiculous Hope
Time

Since the OT is older than the PT, perhaps this could be reflected in the visuals? For instance, the crawl (disregarding the way things actually used to work, since I'm ignorant of that):

We accidentally start from the second reel of the movie, which stops when the projectionist realizes his mistake. The screen goes blank and there's some muffled cursing and bumping around. Then the crawl ends up upside down at first. When things are finally sorted out, it begins. The crawl slowly and very jerkily, um, crawls up the screen with a loud cranking sound to go with it (presumably from when the crawl was done originally, not because of the projectionist). The crawl progresses slower than the audio, so the theme plays and ends, either leaving the cranking as the only sound, or continuing with the audio from the first scene.

You could also have some very obvious and badly done reel changes throughout the movie, or having reels from completely different movies begin to play. A blank screen and the crashing/cursing sounds of the bumbling projectionist could then follow.

Episode V: The Ridiculousness Strikes Back

Starlog once ran a cartoon with a similar gag not long after ROTJ came out. Luke hugged Yoda in his grief, and pulled the puppet right off the hand. ;)

Yoda could also randomly speak in Miss Piggy's or Grover's voice as he expires?

^This is a fantastic idea!  Could be used in Empire as well.  You could have Yoda sing "Fuzzy and Blue" or when going through Luke's items when they first meet, he could toss out stuff saying in Miss Piggy's voice, "Underwear, underwear, underwear..."

Last song you listened to.
Time

I had a riot listening to sped up music this morning... :)

Rick Astley sounds like a woman when sped up, and "Sweet Jane" by Velvet Underground sounds like it's sung by a little girl. One song sounded like an arcade game when sped up to be about ten seconds long, and another sounded like a telephone.

Now I have all sorts of ideas for Frink's edits. :D
