Puggo knows his stuff as it's his bread and butter. Strike three!

Why don't you let him worry about it then? And quoting a two year old post is nearly as bad as your necrobumping.

Perhaps the making of book has the answer to which scene was shot first?

Spook physics in films has always been little screwy. Patrick Swayze in Ghost has to learn how to manipulate solid objects, but never has problems with the floor or running up stairs. ;)

They can acknowledge the prequels without having to get into the nitty gritty of them.

J.J. might even mess with us by having an old Jar Jar cameo. ;)

Mods are not omniscient. If you see repeated bad behavior, report it in a PM...

Have that Anthony Bourdain CNN show on in the backgroud, and he's talking about getting a really good egg salad sandwich, in Tokyo. Does Woody Allen know about this?

And if you have no idea what I'm referring to, for shame! ;)

It was the same prop built for Empire. They sealed it up in plastic, and put it in storage until Jedi went into production.

Why they didn't use it for at least part of the rebel hangar sequence baffles me. That wasn't the best matte painting ILM ever did.

Strike two...

Whatever became of that prop skeleton, anyway?

It was actually left there when filming wrapped in '76. Some fans visiting the Tunisian locations decades later reported finding bits of it still buried in the sand dunes. Others have gotten their hands on a few pieces.

All that was built of the Naboo cruiser in Episode One on location.

The Falcon does has that holographic chess board.

I think it's a good sign they're building the ship full scale instead of a just a ramp leading up into a bunch of scaffolding. Hopefully, we'll get to see some pictures soon, as it can't possibly spoil the plot.

Virtual Boy. ;)

Came across a link to this song that uses a MST3K sample, and wanted to share. Might work for Anakin's short fall to the dark side? It's kind of catchy anyway.

Cupholders. ;)

Let us hope they dock this one at a Disney park when they're finished with it. :)

Wonder if they used the Empire blueprints?

You need to mind your own beeswax. Strike One.

I've never actually watched a VHS version. I presume the later fullscreen version was remastered, as the earlier one crops the closing credits completely out of frame!

Best not to think about it too much, especially after a large meal.

I sent a capture if it to msycamore, but I don't know if he's sent it on to anyone else. There is also the issue of burned in subtitles though. The Betamax tape is the same transfer, but the aggressive anti copy signal made it unwatchable and impossible to capture.

A pan and scan LD is on Ebay at the moment.

Maybe you just didn't cook the turkey long enough? ;)

Perhaps because his work is finished, and Luke has to stand on his own now? Even in Heir to the Empire, Ben eventually said goodbye, and IIRC, he was only appearing in Luke's dreams at that point.

We also don't know if Obi Wan communicated with Luke between Yavin and Hoth. In Empire, Luke was injured and freezing to death when Ben first appears. He remains a voice again until Luke is about to leave Dagobah. Arguably, Luke's training makes it easier for him to see Ben at that point. Ben promptly fades away again soon after.

Jedi mucks all of this up a bit by having Ben walk around and sit on a log. But that could also be Luke's mental perception of his old mentor. It's like when you dream about someone who's died, and they're alive and well.

The SE tosses this all out the window with pasting Hayden in there of course. Luke could visualize his old man as a healthy venerable Jedi, but as a young man he never met and probably never had a photo of?

Has it ever been established non Jedi can see a Force ghost?

Subscribe to it or bookmark it then.

Starlog magazine once did a poll about what kind of stories SF fans wanted to see, and one of the questions asked people whether they preferred triumphant endings or happy ones. Not everyone knows how those concepts differ.

EU notwithstanding, we don't know if the ghosts stuck around after that. Freed or avenged spirits appearing to the hero at the end probably dates back to ancient mythology.

I didn't see Corpsey or any of those dead rebel pilots or many Bothans in the ghost party.

I don't get how the Ewoks are a Mary Sue? George isn't that short or furry. ;)
