That's a nice looking print of AG. Is someone here going after it?

Difficult to see. Always in motion the future is.
It occurred to me last night he could be at the funeral. He wears black Vulcan attire in The Motion Picture.
Also, the surface of Vulcan in the film looks a bit like Mustafar, so the shot of Spock looking upward could be his reacting to all the ships coming and going there.
Watching these edits multiple times is mandatory. ;)
Will Spock be returning for another cameo?
Any clues as to where or when Star Wars was recorded? Would be nice if it was something we haven't seen a recording of before, like one of the early pay per view events.
In that event, I will be too distraught to watch the rest of the film. ;)
I think I've seen it in Target or Fry's recently. I was looking for a different set at the time...
Might be a good idea to start a list of older DVD's with original sound mixes.

I don't know the details of Cheewie's death (I don't even know in which novel they made it) and I don't really care about it. But I have to disagree with what you said. Something like that really doesn't need detailed explaining. All it needs is a scene where Han or someone else mentions it.
For example in ROTS, the kidnapping of the Palpatine was a major plot point that was never directly explained in the film and yet it worked okay. The kidnapping was shown in the less known Clone Wars cartoons.
We saw the end result of the kidnapping though. Chewie deserves more than a throwaway line that he died years ago.
They're not about to hamstring the sequels by keeping continuity with the books anyway, so the point is moot.

I haven't used that yet. I'm referring to "Good bye, miss you I will."
I thought that was what you used for Yoda's reaction to a certain shocking death in AOTR? ;)
Would the four pack of the Batman films be using the older masters? It's a little easier to find than the old snapper case releases.
Any sketch comedy is going to be hit or miss. RC usually bats it out of the park on their Trek and SW parodies though. This one is pure genius...

I've never seen them parody any of the later series except for TNG.
I feel Patrick Stewart is too good an actor to be slumming it in Seth McFarlane's shows, but then again he was in LifeForce. ;)

Mayhew got his chance to come back in ROTS.Which gave us one of the worst moments in all of cinema, Yoda declaring his feelings for Chewie.
Yet, you turned those lines into comedy gold, so it all balances out. ;)

It's a foregone conclusion Paramount will put one out in 2016 for the big Five-Oh. With Ep7 likely hitting in May of 2015, Abrams could conceivably come back to direct Trek 3 in time for a November/December 2016 release.
Oh, and Chewie's dead. Mayhew got his chance to come back in ROTS.
Like I've said again and again regarding all the post-Jedi continuity: it's one thing to ignore, but it's another thing to pretend it never happened.
The EU doesn't matter where the films are concerned. George has always had the last word on that. Why should the films have to be burdened with baggage the casual fan knows next to nothing about? Having to explain to the audience why Chewie's not around would be awkward and sound forced, like when a beloved character vanishes from a tv show never to return.
Thirty years of relative peace and prosperity in the galaxy, with dark clouds forming on the horizon is the best way to begin again. Otherwise, the opening crawl is going to be half an hour long. ;)
If Mayhew can teach a protege' to take over the role if needed, I could live with that.
The Muppets were on too? I was robbed!
And Mr. Hope looks more like Kaiser Wilhelm than Vader. ;)
That's hilarious!
A small update on the Navajo dub.
http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/06/29/star-wars-navajo-translation-project?hpt=hp_t3
I'm interested in hearing this version, even if it's the SE...
Every known video release from 1982 onwards was Episode IV.
Puggo, could you possibly post a screencap? I don't think I've ever seen what this format actually looks like in action.
It looks like a window dub tape that someone lost track of, or was rescued from the trash. For those of you who don't speak ancient video tech...

I don't suppose anyone could lipread the silent footage?
Killing off a mentor/father figure has been done one too many times. That, and I'm still pissed Abrams killed a well liked character in STID. (It wasn't even a good death like Kirk's dad in the first film.) If Luke buys the moisture farm, he comes back a ghost anyway.
The massive fan freakout to Chewie's death in a novel 14 years ago is a good indication of what may happen if somebody bites it in the sequel. They probably don't want to go through that again, so the Wook is safe for now.
Droid death can be cheated, since they can probably put the memory in a new body. Artoo or Threepio getting vaporized or melted beyond recognition is the only permanent rub out for them, but you're back to the Chewie backlash scenario.
Leia dying depends on where she's at 30 years on. Presumably she's in a prominent leader role, and possibly become a Jedi.
Han is the logical one to kill, if he goes out doing what he does best, and it's a noble sacrifice. (No falling off a damn bridge!) Harrison has wanted it since Jedi, and might have even asked for it as a condition for returning.
It's a Kobayashi Maru no matter who you kill. And they sure as heck won't kill Lando. ;)
It's beautiful!
Didn't Vader put his hands behind him when looking at the Falcon in the DS hangar bay though?
I've never had trouble telling Vader has his hands behind him in that shot. I took it as being deep in thought all these years.

No Gunray, but a certain deceased yet still handsome pilot will make an appearance to sing about all the women he's met.
I just realized I lied :p
And yes, if you are wondering, one of the two clips of Gunray is the "now there are two of them" shot.
And now it all makes sense! ;)
Well done!

Is his "that's impossible, even for a computer" line dubbed by the same guy who dubbed the lines for "real" Wedge?
What?? Dude who gives a shit??? Lol
You really asked that on a Star Wars board? A little politeness goes a long way.
I can't be the only one who thought both Wedges were the same fellow, as the dubbing creates that impression, and Lawson was never seen with his helmet off until Jedi.
Sorry to hear about another SW actor passing away. Mr. Higgins did not deserve the "fake Wedge" label.
There are RC action figures, and there was a unlicensed(?) Lucas figure made in Japan, so it's possible. ;)
