LOL!! You're probably right. I mean, is Puerto Rico a cocoa producing country? If so, I imagine I would die of a bliss-induced ailment if I were to go there.

I say keep it green. I mean, sure, you could ask how would he know the other colour was green, but then again you could also ask how he would even know how to construct a lightsaber? Canon tells us that Luke created his lightsaber from spare parts in Obi-Wan's hut on Tatooine, so we can assume that he used one of ben's spare crystals. We can also assume that, apart from perhaps Artoo, Luke was alone in Ben's Hut and therefore had noone to guide him in the saber's construction, which might explain why his was green rather than blue (which, at the time of the OT was the only Jedi (i.e not Sith) saber colour that we had seen. Then of course, the prequels came along and ruined that little bit of imagination, but even so I think Luke having a green saber works. Let's just imagine their are only 3 types of crystal - blue green and red. Luke just used a green one. He probably wouldn't use red becaue vader has a red one, and maybe he just couldn't find a blue crystal that day. As for purple, personally I would change Mace's saber to match the others. It was a dumb idea giving him a purple saber in the first place.

Anyway, depending on how you edit it, isn't it possible that Luke created his lightsaber under the watchful eye of Yoda? Yoda could have told him about the blue and green.

Right now as I write this I'm thinking what an intersting EU novel it would be if someone were to tell the story of Luke creating his own lightsaber, hunting for the neccesary crystal, receiving extra tuition from Yoda, returning to Tatooine to visit Ben's hut, with the hunt for Han going on in the background. Perhaps while he was on Tatooine building his new weapon he overheard some rumours about Han being Jabba's prisoner and that's how they found him - almost as if he was meant to be on Tatooine at that moment, the will of the force.

The solution would be to either meticulously paint out the credits or somehow obtain a creditless film print 9i.e an original print before the credits were addedd in PP), neither of which are easy options, but having seen what goes on in the preservation section of this site I have no doubt that somebody could do it if they were so inclined.

A 6hr non-stop BTTF movie would be f**king ace though! The next chance I get, I'm gonna watch all 3 in a row.

Imperial: There's no one on board, sir. According to the log, the crew abandoned ship right after takeoff. Several of the escape pods have been jettisoned.

Vader: Did you find any droids?

Imperial: No, sir. If there were any on board, they must also have jettisoned.

Vader: Send a scanning crew on board. I want every part of this ship checked.

Imperial: Yes, sir.

Vader: I sense something...a presence I haven't felt since...

I like when I start a thread that other people enjoy.

Han: Stand by, Chewie, here we go. Cut in the sublight engines. What the...? We've come out of hyperspace into a meteor shower. It's not on any of the
charts.

Luke: What's going on?

Han: Our position is correct, except...no, Alderaan!

Luke: What do you mean? Where is it?

Han: Thats what I'm trying to tell you, kid. It ain't there. It's been totally blown away.

Luke: What? How?

Obi Wan: Destroyed...by the Empire!

Han: The entire starfleet couldn't destroy the whole planet. It'd take a thousand ships with more fire power than I've... There's another ship coming in.

Luke: Maybe they know what happened.

Obi Wan: It's an Imperial fighter.

Luke: It followed us!

Obi Wan: No. It's a short range fighter.

Han: There aren't any bases around here. Where did it come from?

Luke: It sure is leaving in a big hurry. If they identify us, we're in big trouble.

Han: Not if I can help it. Chewie...jam it's transmissions.

Obi Wan: It'd be as well to let it go. It's too far out of range.

Han: Not for long...

Obi Wan: A fighter that size couldn't get this deep into space on its own.

Luke: It must have gotten lost, been part of a convoy or something.

Han: Well, he’s going to be around long enough to tell anyone about us.

Luke: Look at him. He's headed for that small moon.

Han: I think I can get him before he gets there...he's almost in range.

Obi Wan: That's no moon! It's a space station.

Han: It's too big to be a space station.

Luke: I have a very bad feeling about this.

Obi Wan: Yeah, I think you’re right. Full reverse! Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power.

Luke: Why are we still moving towards it?

Han: We're caught in a tractor beam! It's pulling us in!

Luke: But there's gotta be something you can do!

Han: There's nothing I can do about it, kid. I'm in full power. I'm going to have to shut down. But they're not going to get me without a fight!

Obi Wan: You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting.

Hmm, I am not sure that these are good points.

I mean, the poor taste in TV I can live with (I must admit I did enjoy voyager, I just wouldn't put it on a favourites list), but having the personality of a borg? You're not really selling yourself, Jen.

My plan was to start an ESB thread after the ANH one finished, and eventually start a ROTJ one too. But we're all friends here so I'll let you do the ESB honours.

EDIT: Oops, double post. Sorry about that.

Let me tell you something. American's don't know s**t about chocolate. Hersheys SUCKS. As a result, your Twixs suck, your snickers suck, even your mini eggs suck compared to English versions. Cadburys chocolate rules, and don't even get me started on Galaxy chocolate because if you tasted that your head would explode. I gave some to a friend of mine in LA and he actually used the word 'orgasmic'. Man, I'm gonna miss that stuff. I no longer drink, smoke, or take drugs, but chocolate is my one vice, and I can't satisfy my needs with crappy Hersheys.

Looks like I'm gonna be getting my Mum to send me packages regularly.

Jag, I think you misunderstood which county YIYF is moving to. He is moving to America the land of the free and home of the brave. (make fun of me if you wish) Although I have met my fair share of people in America who I would rather not associate with for various reasons, and I find their government and it's policies somewhat 'questionable', I can say the same of my native country England, which I love and hate to varying degrees for all the same reasons that most people have against America. It's not an American thing, it's a social modern condition thing. Overall, my experiences of America and it's people are generally good and pleasant. The people are more open, more accomodating and more friendly than other places I have experienced, including my own country, which is rapidly sliding downhill. The England that you guys imagine and see in the movies, the England that JRR Tolkien had in his heart as he wrote LOTR, the Engalnd of Mary Poppins and even James Bond, just does not exist anymore except , perhaps, in a few remote villages in the country. So I am with Warbler on this one. I would not move to America if I thought it was a bad place. I think some other country's could benefit from some of America's patriotism. They (Americans) may sound a bit silly and naive at times (hence Warbler's 'laugh at me if you wish' comment), but their heart is in the right place, and, while I reserve the right to criticise certain aspects of the culture if and when I feel the need, I applaud Warbler for constantly defending America's original values (which have become a little lost and muddied over the years).

I'm gonna be in LA this summer, actually (July 3- July 23)
I should be there by then. I hope so because ND gets real old, real quick. Being out there in the sticks with nothing to do will give me a chance to practise my guitar playing though, so I no longer have to really on other musicians to help realise my musical ideas - that's something I really Hate.

Well, on May 7th I'm emigrating to the USA, and I'm quitting my job at the end of April. Seeing as I do the VAST majority of my posting at work (I'm there right now), and I sincerely doubt I will ever have a job as laid back as my current one, plus the fact that I will be computerless for quite some time, I expect you will catch up to and pass me in the next few months, and then I will be the one playing catch-up.
