Are there any known differences between the broadcasts of ESB and the official audio releases? What appears to be a batch of off air reel to reel recordings has popped up on ebay.
Whoa, the BD has major cropping at the sides.
True, but the influx of new faces around here is just getting started.

It's too bad that the TFN thread got locked because I wanted to post "that Plagueis is alive" in that thread.
We don't want nor need outside forum drama being dragged in here. With the renewed interest in Star Wars, we'll have enough shenanigans as it is.
Remember that Navajo dub of Star Wars? It's out on DVD.

Yes, but like the HS, it must be preserved as a warning to future fans. ;)
It can't play PAL tapes, AFAIK.
Unless someone in the UK could help, you would need a multi-standard VCR for this.
Here's a less expensive auction in the UK.
What might this be?

JEDIT:And another one from the same seller...

I doubt Dark Horse could do that even if they wanted to, as Prowse is still "banned from the ranch" for lack of a better term.
I'm still left with so many unanswered questions from that. Presuming Hayden's character payed taxes like ordinary people, he must have had some sort of a job as a cover for his wealth?
There must be an easier way for the bad guys to kill a Jumper.
And even a evil ancient secret organization can only do so much loud noisy stuff in someone's apartment house before someone calls the cops. ;)
However, I did learn never to sneak into the coliseum in Rome, which apparently has really short tourist hours, and no security cameras, nor multi-lingual guards, and get into a fight with an evil secret organization. The cops will arrest you on the word of one hysterical eyewitness, never mind the lack of any bodies, and take your passport, which as a jumper, you probably don't have the proper visas stamped on it anyway. ;)
Mark looks kind of evil in that shot. ;)
We need a fake photoshopped spoiler photo thread with all the good raw material that's around.
Wow, small planet! ;)
Does he know about this site?
Cause may not be the young ones for very long.
I loved that show when MTV ran it back in the 80's. We should all watch a video nasty tonight.
This site is a good resource.

Details on the specials can be found under miscellaneous.
I really want to see the 30th anniversary Trek tv special, as reviews I've read made it out to be SWHS level bad. They did a sketch mixing Voyager with the cast of Fraiser!
An unfortunate number of Trek tv specials have never seen the light of day on DVD. Several did make it into the Japanese tv Laserdisc boxsets, but they remain horribly expensive.

It was retitled for the UK.

Now there are two versions of them!
Anybody ever keep tabs on the visitor stats at the bottom of the main forum page? We had over 500 people at one point today. I don't think I've ever seen it that high before.
THX 1138 comes pretty close to doing that though.
I'd be very surprised if they do it this film, as fans are expecting someone to bite it. Luke going the Obi Wan route to spooksville too soon would be a bit obvious, and merely ape the original film.
After the whole Vector Prime backlash, they aren't going kill Chewie, at least not this time out. Somebody has to mourn Han's passing with a mighty howl that will shake the bulkheads loose.
This is the welcome back to the Galaxy Far Far Away movie, things can get darker in Episode 8.
With George's life long love of fast cars, I'm surprised he's never made a pro racing film.
Rats! There's a Hong Kong LD release, but I've never seen a copy up for sale. Very few of those Universal "Action Pack" tv movies seem to have ever come out on video.

Yeah, DE. He seems to really fly off the handle at the slightest thing in the EU.
Anakin I could see as having uncontrolled bouts of saber-swinging rage, but I always saw Vader as mostly in control, in a sort of Bruce-Banner-Always-Angry way. I mean, there are obviously things that get Vader's goat, as we saw in Star Wars and Empire, but he always handled them with the Force, which just seems more "mature" to me. I feel like him just slicing poor Captain Needa in half wouldn't have had the same effect as "accepting" his apology in an unconcerned voice as he telepathically strangled him to death.
And, Wook, I always remember that moment from Splinter very vividly. One of the first pieces of EU I read as an impressionable child.
Yeah, that scene shocked me pretty good. (Would Lucas have actually filmed that had Splinter become the sequel?) Think I was down with the Flu or something the first time I ever read the book, and really took it way too seriously. One plot point near the end made me pretty mad too. ;)
