I thought I'd have a look for pictures of a younger Sebastian Shaw. This is about the best I could find:

Someone could probably do one of those morph anumations where Hayden turns into Sebastian, using that pic.

That's a good list, BarBar! It would be nice for him to be set up for AOTC more, as he's such a big character in it. As it is, he sort of comes out of nowhere a bit when I watch it. He is definitely one of the more interesting characters, too. The ones you're not sure about are often the strongest/most memorable.

Thanks, C3PX. Yes, it is an admittedly obscure (and basically useless) post, but I thought it was interesting. Trying to be helpful is a bad thing to some people.

At least Sebastian Shaw has done better than poor Clive Revill. But, at least Adywan restored him to HD glory on the AVCHD. :) He'll never be forgotten in my home, George!

I have a Craftsman lawnmower. It has a Briggs & Stratton motor with a 'Fresh Start' fuel cap. The mower needs B&S fuel additive to run (stupid priority software...) and their special fuel cap has a little container filled with the additive that plugs into the bottom of the cap and sucks out drops of the additive as you mow.

Those cap containers, seen here, are VERY expensive for what they are and NOT necessary. ;)

I went to Sears and saw that for a 2-pack of those little cap containers, they wanted a colossal $10.99! But...I went to Canadian Tire before that and got a little squeeze tube (here) of exactly the same stuff (one tube is around the equivalent of one container) for the grand total of..........73 cents. :o I'm sure you can get them in any hardware/seasonal/automotive-type store, too.

You totally pay for the convenience of just plugging that thing into the cap rather than the back-breaking labor involved in cutting the top of the squeeze tube and pouring it into your gas can. (one tube is good for 2.5 gallons) And it does exactly the same thing. And even if I don't use all the gas this summer, it works in snowblowers, too.

Something to think about.

Hadn't seen that picture before, brash. Kinda neat. :)

I always thought it was an Ugnaught, and the Ugnaught's "Who are you?" alerted a nearby stormtrooper, who shot Threepio.

Hey, that's an interesting thought. You never know. It may be stated definitely somewhere (book, interview, whatever) who/what was supposed to have said that line. Or maybe someone could give Kershner or Kurtz a call? ;)

I've always been annoyed at the voice telling 3PO "Who are you" sounding so unlike a strom trooper.

I was just thinking about that line, and it came to me that he sounds like an angry, possibly chain-smoking, version of Fozzy Bear. Yes/no? :p Bear in mind I'm just hearing it in my head, not watching the movie at the moment.

As long as it doesn't sound like they're talking backwards. That always sounded bad to me. :p

I might be missing something here, but why all this talk of redubbing Jar Jar with a British accent?

Why would that work?

Because he's evil, just like the Imperials? ;)

Dooku should replace Yaddle, and Syfo-Dias should replace Oppo Rancisis or Yarael Poof *shudder*.

Ah! All these names I've never heard of before!

Yes, my PT knowledge is severely lacking, but I don't care. ;)

Yeah, there was a prop of a cut up metal bar, and the scene was partially filmed.

Peep this, homeskillets:

^What in the world is that? A movie? :)

I have one, too. It was my grandfather's:

I'd make it a lightmachete, but I dunno how.

the glows should continue and after the frame ;)

You've never heard of lightmachetes? ;)

I just posted it because he was talking about film grain. That's it.

You guys might get a kick out of this classic Foxtrot comic, especially the first comment:

(yes, it's supposed to be sideways)

I've figured that's a voice modulator.

Lots of nice new mock-ups. The only thing I don't like about those recolored Naboo fighters are the new lines added to the back of the wing.

I was thinking about the issue of making the Falcon and other ships in showroom condition, and I kinda think if it wasn't done very, very well, it could just look like an unpainted model. The detail added would have to be subtle and strong at the same time.

Garindan the Kubaz needed more appearances. He felt like an important character in ANH. He was mysterious almost like Boba Fett.

Ah, but like Boba Fett, Garindan's cool mysteriousness factor could have been severely wasted like Fett's was in ROTJ. Garindan was a cool-looking informant that we never saw again, which is awesome. Fett became a guy who fell into a belching hole after he flew through the air screaming like a girl after he was hit in the back by a blind man. Not awesome.

The imperial ship can just stay as is. They wouldnt need to scrap old ships. They have unlimited funding and POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just reminded me of Jeremy Clarkson there. :)

I have no clue what ESF means either. :p

I can't remember if I've seen that one. David Hasselhoff is in it, so I probably should. Someone said his was the best performance in it? Haha.

^Which means it's not gonna be in ESB anyway, innit? But maybe he'll use it in ROTJ:R. But yes, this might be better discussed in another thread.

Haha. Hard to think of what might fit without hearing the gap and what surrounds it, though.

Good eye on that last screenshot, vaderios! Kinda funny. Are those lights supposed to go all the way up to the ceiling?
