Well, the GP was fairly easy (though, it's probably not perfect, since it's pretty hard with a blurry reference like that) but the X one I could probably try to approximate but it would probably be far from what it actually looked like with this picture as a reference - I can't even read the text (if I had to guess, I'd say it says: "NO ONE UNDER 17 ADMITTED / AGE LIMIT MAY VARY IN CERTAIN AREAS" but I'm just guessing).

Thank you Harmy! This would go great with THX 1138, as it was originally rated GP. :)

I can dig up a better screenshot of the X card if you need it.

PM sent!

It's not often I see merchandise I didn't know existed. These must be recent.

I've long lamented there were never View Master reels for the OT.

Yeah, another universe shrinky dink. Something the spinoffs will hopefully avoid the temptation to do.

Here's a fun theory:

Since the whole Endor bit was a set-up, what better trap than to present the attackers with something they'd defeated before?

Not to mention deliberately make it look unfinished and vulnerable. That was a touch of evil genius.

Young Han was almost in ROTS, hanging with the Wookiees.

Lucas has been protective of Yoda with regards to not fleshing out his early history, or even giving his species a name. Pretty amazing since even the most obscure background characters have backstories now.

Ewoks behaving badly.

Musical suggestion for the scene with Leia and Wicket.

Okay, I am finally "back in business" so to speak. I can get at my LD collection again! I captured the "Rigid Tools" shot at normal and 1/30 speed. CAV still rules. ;)

Point me to where I can upload the vob files if you want them. It's less than a minute of video for the shot in question.

Harmy said:

Well, I guess I could, but it was a lot of work, so only if I knew it was for some worthy project. Also, what do you mean defunct? Isn't this one defunct as well?

@Laserschwert: That would be great, thank you!

PG is still around, but these two aren't. ;)

I used the X card on a project way back in college as a fake out gag. Got it off a VHS rental of Flesh Gordon,  which had been reclassified R in the mid 80's. (The video master inadvertently used a film print with the original card intact.) Haven't been able to find another source for it since...

Jedi may be cheese, but it's not prequel level Limburger. ;)

One could argue the traps had been laid for a while. The Ewoks could have other enemies, and the tv movies bear that out. They lacked the nerve to fully engage the Imperials until they met Luke and the gang, and Threepio told them the big picture.

As I've said before, there is enough visual evidence around to suggest the Ewoks killing troopers and using their blasters was toned down in the editing room. If we're lucky, maybe we'll get some footage of Ewok violence in the digital version of the Rinzler book.

All things considered, I have bigger issues with where the heck the AT-AT's were during the battle. Was there only one on the entire moon?

BTW. I made this and decided not to use it in the end but I'm putting it out here in case anyone wants it:

Just out of curiosity, can you make one for other ratings, including the defunct ones?

About darn time!

Now all we need are t shirts...

Ugnaughts cry when you call them that.

Too Twilight. Plus, the acronym would be AND. Not as bad as STID though. ;)

ROTJ has many great scenes/moments that rivals/surpass things in the previous two films. I think those who complain about ROTJ usually completely ignore them and go on about irrelevant stuff (ewoks etc.)

The Ewoks are both annoying and relevant.

But way less annoying than Gungans. ;)

Ewoks throw better parties too.

Interesting if true. Most of the comments I've read about Kick Ass 2 mentioned that she was the only good thing in the movie.

Nothing there at the moment, except a white screen and a text message...

Sy Snootles, Max Rebo.

True, true.

Well, at least Lapti Nek is better than Jedi Rocks. ;-)

Damn straight! I could go the rest of my life without seeing those CGI nightmares they added.

The bloated frog fellow was okay, as he was a real puppet. Unfortunately, he looks like he's sitting on a giant crapper...

I can think of many sillier films that deserve preservation as well.

I just have trouble understanding why someone would enjoy ROTJ less. It's a popcorn-flick just like TESB.

Sy Snootles, Max Rebo.

So, you have no issues with Droopy McCool? ;)

Oh My! Is that a Derann ROTJ?

Idea for footage to edit into Anakin's surgery scenes. ;)

My mom actually bought a car from Cal in the early 70's. She didn't realize it was him until she saw a commercial sometime later. There isn't a Southern California resident who doesn't know that song from childhood. Those ads were everywhere on the dial when I was growing up, and he was still appearing mostly in late night ads until the end.

Truly the end of an era, as nobody makes tv ads like that anymore. The insurance costs alone would see to that.

I'd actually love to see the TV version of ST2. I can't find it anywhere even when the guy claims it's easy to find

I've got a few leads, including SilverWook, but he can't get it to me at present.  I've got two folks willing to help out at FE.org, but I haven't gotten it yet.  I'll be sure to upload it at MySpleen when I get it so it can be better spread to folks here.

I actually found the darn disc the other night. So send me a PM.

It's also the the movie Alec Guinness was working on when a script called Star Wars came his way.
