It's foam packing material so the straps on the board they wheeled him in on don't scuff him up. And I thought I had poor eyesight. ;)
He's got a lot of carbon scoring there. Looks like he's seen some action. I like the idea that Artoo has remained loyally at Luke's side wherever he's been all this time.

What was the purpose of keeping those characters a secret anyway? There were so many other aliens we saw beforehand; why hide the Ewoks? It sounds like something George wanted for one of his "reasons".
If I remember audience reaction correctly, seeing Jabba in all his sleazy glory for the very first time was worth the secrecy. A movie should have a few surprises left up it's sleeve when you see it for the first time. I don't think we saw anything of the Emperor's appearance in Jedi beforehand either.
I'd wager the teaser is going to stick to familiar characters and things we already know about.
Yes, even the toy catalogs had them blurred out. Jabba was blurred out too.
I think the only ROTJ character to get any official exposure before the movie came out was Admiral Ackbar. He was Kenner mail away figure at the time.
The Marvel comic introduced a bunch of ferocious little furry creatures who help the rebels about a year or so before the movie. Lucasfilm requested they be redrawn to avoid similarities with the Ewoks.
All I have for sure is Mars Attacks! and Your Highness. Natalie's voice seems to have matured faster than Hayden's did in the 90's. ;)
Best image I could find on short notice. Had a spy shot of Shaw in that makeup and costume gotten out back then, it would have been a big deal. At least give me points for using the original shot and not the SE. ;)
The biggest leak on Episode III was the entire movie right before it opened. I imagine they will keep workprints under lock and key this time.
With principal photography complete, they better make sure all the shooting scripts are accounted for.
Imagine if this had gotten out in late 1982. ;)
What the Ewoks looked like were spoiled for me by a local L.A. newscast in 1983, mere weeks before the movie was out. Somebody put the ROTJ puzzles out on the toy shelves too early.

How are there spoilers for a movie that hasn't even finished production yet and could change before final release?
LOL
All the leaked set photos and such aren't spoilers? That there are updated Stormtrooper costumes is a spoiler in my book.
It's a wrap!
Cool song. Creepy depressing video.
I'll look through the few Natalie movies I have for the proper word. Would be funny if she said "no plot". ;)
Also, since they are outside, you could lay in a lot of annoying traffic sounds. Horn honking, angry drivers yelling and cursing, and some Jetsons car sounds? I think there's a traffic jam or two in Futurama?
JEDIT: Maybe she could say "you'll always be my little slave"?
Not as good as the one that didn't make it into Alien 3. ;)
Yeah, I've not seen SW dog costumes with masks before, so I'm presuming they customized some kid sized masks.
Thankfully, I've never seen anyone actually put a Slave Leia costume on a pet. And yes, they do make those.
Watched Halloween 4 this evening, and Donald Pleasence's first scene is simply walking down a long, curved, white, sterile looking hallway. Wonder if he was having flashbacks to THX when filming that? ;)
Looks younger without the beard! Wonder if he's done shooting now?
IIRC, Paramount didn't drop Blu Ray, they just were not on board yet. It probably helps when Toshiba drives a truck full of money up to your offices. ;)
Still annoying that some films featured in their HD DVD promo still aren't out on Blu.
Someone should dummy up a fake Star Wars HD DVD just for laughs.

Pretty much all of the artwork and designs I've seen have been pretty blah. I think the sith holding vader's helmet was the only thing that looked remotely interesting.
Will wait for the trailer but its looking alittle grim.
*AHEM!*

Several years ago, Shatner was on Conan and mentioned how a Kirk mask was made into the original Halloween mask, and Conan didn't believe him. Hilarious.
I just watched III last night. I like it a little more than I did in '82. And it gave me some decorating ideas that will have to wait until next year.
I've slowly been buying the Halloween boxset one movie at a time on Ebay to avoid the Zombie versions. Figure I can flip the later sequels if they blow.
And to turn this back to Trek, Kirk and company once had to deal with their own homicidal maniac who refused to die...
Never be alone in a room with Piglet. ;)
Happy Halloween!
Well, I finally exhumed one of the cheapo converter boxes I mentioned before. They have good old fashioned RCA audio/video jacks on the back. Took a while to hook up and let the contraption update itself. Having 80's cable box flashbacks here.
Scanning through all the channels, I couldn't find that darn music channel. Then, I notice a button on the tiny remote with a musical note. Pressed it, and voila! All the music channels, well, just that one they don't scramble and charge extra for.
So I'm going to record straight into my old DVD recorder. Video quality is irrelevant to this, so I'm experimenting with the longer recording modes I've never used. Audio doesn't drop below 256 kps on any of those, which is more than enough for this.
Pretty sure the party is over at midnight, so I'm going to grab all I can grab! ;)
How bored do you have to be to resurrect a nine year old thread?
That reminds me, every cut back to Artoo should add more rocks until he can't be seen at all! ;)
Thanks, Lil Brutto. Wonder why it's been omitted since then? (The bonus disc from the new set doesn't have it either.) I've never seen the Anchor Bay extended edition DVD though.
