Still leaves open the question: has any of that (Nik Sant capturing the Scout Trooper etc.) ever been filmed?

It's actually in the film, he walks up to the trooper immediately after capturing him and starts taking off his uniform.

And: Why did he chose to disguise himself as trooper, specifically?

Probably so he can stand guard and pretend to be the trooper in case his biker buddies come back from chasing that Ewok.

My understanding is that they originally wanted a Klingon, but Chris didn't want an outright Trek shoot, so a Ferengi was their next choice as it seemed a bit more subtle.

And it was a screen used Ferengi costume from DS9.

PD

Protocol Droid is my new hero.

The Enterprise is the model, we've just never seen how good it can look. And these early CGI planets would have to be replaced as they never saved the renders.

Gone is the cheese of the Raimi films (minus the thing with the Cranes at the end, that was a little much)

I think that sounds delightful.

The first one WAS broken, the blades wouldn't spin freely. No excuse, but still.

I hate summer. It gets too damn hot for too damn long, and the one air conditioner my shitty house has doesn't even produce enough of a chill to adequate cool even a single room.

Do you live in my house? Because that's our freaking problem.

We went out and bought a ceiling fan a couple days ago. I'm on a ladder for an hour getting it up there and built, and it doesn't work! I can't even spin the blades freely, and nothing at all happens when I have the controller hooked into the system. We return it and get another one the next day, I spend another hour building it and IT DOESN'T WORK EITHER! The blades spin and it works when I connect the motor directly to power, but it doesn't work when I hook it up to the speed controller/remote receiver. I'm stumped. Could it be that the wiring in my 130 year old house isn't adequate? Could it be the lack of a ground wire? Is it a bad motivator?

I call my step-dad about it, bring my father-in-law over, no one has a clue. Everything is hooked up right, it just doesn't work when you try to use the remote.

I call the number on the instructions. After being on hold for 10 minutes, I get a tech, whose first question after hearing the problem was "Did you remove the plastic from the battery?"

To be fair, the plastic was VERY clear!

I absolutely love that we're so excited to be preserving a VHS copy someone found in a porn store 34 years ago. I'm also saddened that we HAVE to be doing this to see what the movie looked like when it came out.

But still, name another forum where people are making high quality VHS captures of movies supposedly available on Blu-ray.
