We'll know soon enough, I hope!

I was just as surprised by Natalie in Your Highness. ;)

The beard befits an old scoundrel. ;)

If you have time, do a quick capture of the spot that gave msycamore so much trouble? I'd like to finally nail down if it's something unusual with the LD master or an anomaly with my DVD recorder.

Hi SilverWook! I think the spot you're thinking about is the conversation between THX and LUH when he get to know about her shift change. But the problem was that the captures lacked frames/fields in different spots, so unfortunately something weird happened when these were being recorded. I wish there was an easy way for us to figure out what exactly caused this, I suspect the recorder being the culprit as captures on different players have these issues. Not funny if future recordings are to be made and not knowing if they will be all right or not. :(

Any theories on what could have caused this weird hiccup anyone? Both fields and frames missing on different spots between captures. I can try to post a sample of a problematic spot. Not that I think we would be any wiser from it. The only thing I can think of is if you could check other recordings you've made with the same equipment and see if you can perform IVTC on them successfully.

 If the recorder hicupped in the same scene across different captures, it might be something that was non Kosher in LD master. Something the players cheerfully ignore, but becomes an issue when capturing it. After all, nobody ever anticipated using old analog video transfers this way.

I blame Coily in any case...

I've never seen a generic name on a chair on a movie set. It's often been a point of contention in Hollywood as to who merits getting a chair with their name on it. It's one of little perks of being a star that isn't accorded to just anybody.

That's very touching and very sad. As much as we old geezers kvetch over certain things, that a little boy loved Star Wars that much, makes realize the good stuff still outweighs the bad.

We all should be glad if we're still around to see the new films, however they turn out.

It could also be Carrie Fisher's chair. ;)

I'm guessing this photo is recent?

Note the chair on the right...

I guess they thought an 8 Track would be too recognizable?

Surprised they didn't use a microcassette, as they were around in 1978...

I must confess I used cassette tape boxes painted black as props back in college, so I'm just as guilty. :P

I'm still amazed to this day that the BBC has never sued over the Borg.

Can't recall if this has been mentioned before.

It's a 1980's reissue print.

So long as we don't hear "friend" used in every sentence. ;)

Well to me it seems a bit ridiculous to have a 60 years old grandpa fighting around as bounty hunter.

 There's always the Dread Pirate Roberts angle, which would explain away a lot. ;)

Late 1977 I think.

They must have reversed the release order for some reason? They might have licensed out the design elements to a U.K. company who just did their own thing.

The blue ones seem to be the sets everyone remembers.

More changes for the 3D version of course! ;)

I love the old school Topps bubblegum card look.

The "Vadar" stuff was originally licensed, someone just screwed up on the spelling, and it was never corrected. The bootleggers did chop off the copyright information though.

Nobody knew how to spell Wookiee in the early days either. ;)

I'd like to think J.J. would change the voice back. With all those doohickeys in Fett's armor, there must be a voice changer. ;)

I wouldn't mind seeing Boba, as Robot Chicken made him seem cool again. ;)

So long as they don't get into how he survived, and have him be a "good" guy, so long as the New Republic keeps the money coming. There could be a lot of tension if Han had no choice but to work with him.

How I spent my Easter Vacation at the Overlook Hotel? ;)

Goddamn anthropomorphic lagomorphs ...

 Hey! Some of my friends are rabbits! ;)

Not all that creepy compared to some Easter Bunnies I've seen...

There could be Hutts who don't sit on a throne smoking a bong all day, groping slave girls, and getting fat. They didn't accumulate all their wealth and power on personal charm alone. ;)

They could revisit the old idea that Hutts get so fat their legs disappear.

Awesome! I wish I could have attended that.

Is Frink okay with being seen in the flesh? This is kind of like seeing Daft Punk without their helmets or something.
