But seriously, I like the idea of cutting the name out the first time.

I did some research (I searched the Googles), and there was no front of card with Zuckuss or 4-LOM listed.  One of "IG-88 and Boba Fett", but the other card is just the line up of bounty hunters.  I couldn't find the back of the card though to see if it ran down the list on there.  Anyone have the cards handy?

So maybe the question is whether the card back listed the names and applied them in the same arrangement that was embraced 1989 onwards.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at.  The problem is that we don't know where any of the companies got their name information.  Who's to say that Kenner didn't give the names to Topps, or if there was one master document that got sent to all of the companies that had that typo?

Wookieepedia:

In the fifth draft of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Zuckuss's name is misspelled as "Tuckuss" and he is described as a "Human-type" bounty hunter. This error was also carried over into the novelization.

If we're making typos "canon", what's REALLY his name? ;-)

4-LOM isn't in the novelization, and it sounds like he's not mentioned outside of the toys until 1989, where the Galaxy Guide add-on to the RPG gives the correct names for him and Zuckuss.

It seems to me that the only source for their names were the toys (which were incorrect even in 1985) until 1989, where the names were "corrected" from that point on.

Oh, I definitely hear it.  The main melodies are exactly the same.  One is sung by a dark, creepy church choir, while the other is sung by overenthusiastic children.  Other than that, they're the same.  (The "celebration" music around the kids singing is quite different, but that's not what we're talking about.)

 

Damn, I hear it too now... NEVER tought of it. I guess I learned something today.

Wow.  I thought Anakin's theme having traces of the Imperial March gave me shivers.  That just blows my mind.

If my 5 year old self could figure out that 4-LOM was the droid and Zuckuss was the alien, I'm pretty sure that it was a mistake on Kenner's part.

I knew I should have offered to actually beta test! :-P

I'm not off work yet!  Darn you people on the other side of the world!

My appropriate response should have been: "You worry about those fighters, I'll worry about the tower."

The ships are already on the list, bongowingowongo.

HotRod, you have to remember that Fishman is the guy who thought he could remove all of the music from the movies and leave the dialog and effects intact.  This is his thing.

You'll get no complaints from me, just trying to help you work out the bugs!

i want something awesome from you hotrod :D

Are you calling HotRod out on calling out the guy you've been calling a troll?  I'm calling YOU out! :-P

Don't know if you've been keeping up with it, so here's the wishlist in case you want to have way too many suggestions.

than lets hope they release more good stuff on the soundboards.

The whole saga?  That I very much doubt.

Sound effects, dialog, these are things we need in order to "rescore" anything.  If you're making another silent film version, that's all well and good, but what you really want to do is impossible unless we had access to the Lucas Archives.

"The Beginning" was the best part of any prequel DVD, I agree.  I was really disappointed that the other two films didn't continue in that fashion.  AotC had "From Puppets to Pixels" and "Films Aren't Released; They Escape", and RotS had "Within a Minute".  They were alright, but "The Beginning" was so all-encompassing, like "Empire of Dreams" without the ability to reflect on it.

But those guys were the finest bounty hunters the galaxy had to offer. With names like, Boba, 4-LOM Zuckuss, Zuckuss 4-LOM, and Dengar*, you know these guys are HARDCORE. Poor ol' Greedo was just small time. 

Kenner correction department here.

The different editors confuse me, but aren't you supposed to do this (from the help page):

url=http://fanedits.com/]FanEdits.com[/url] — <a href="http://fanedits.com/" target="_blank" title="fanedits.com/">FanEdits.com</a>

actually you start with [url=.... but when I typed that, it showed up as a link like it is supposed to LOL.

Yes, Jay that's what I'm doing because when I edit or quote a post in plain text that has a link, it parses it down to the html for the link, then if I post it it appears broken.  I haven't tried using the [ url= yet, thanks Frink.

However if I paste the same thing into the WYSIWYG editor, it resolves itself and shows up like this:

Sounds good DuTwan!  Hopefully the lips and timing would match.  Wish we could get BRIAN BLESSED to redo the voice. ;-)

Alright, this is related, so I'll throw it here. I've been trying to use the plain text editor all the time, but it doesn't seem to work properly. If I type the following in the plain text editor (which I'm using now), it shows up like this:

Sounds good DuTwan! Hopefully the lips and timing would match. Wish we could get <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitleijqobqvle9an?from=Main.BRIANBLESSED">BRIAN BLESSED</a> to redo the voice. ;-)

Another problem with moving Yoda/Obi-wan before/during Tattooine: Luke's glove covering the damage he hasn't had done to him yet, and we can't really cover that up, I don't think...

I'll never forget the day I walked into my old local used CD store and there they had Meco Star Wars on CD, mint condition. My dad used to use the main theme to do his magic shows, but one day the LP melted after an outdoor show. I'm not sure if I was alive back then (doubt it), but its a part of my family history, I guess.

I love it.

On the other thread rcb linked to a rumor that a young Luke is going to appear on the show. Having seen a young Anakin and a young "Boba", I dread a young Luke. It'd be very unlikely to be anything but more crapping on Star Wars.

Please, no-enough with the young versions!

At least we never saw that awful young Han in Ep III.

Yeah, young Han solo was supposed to somehow help Yoda if I remember well...

Can you imagine that? It goes against everything Han Solo is as a character in ANH.

I am not Bashing Lucas all the time but the fact that this plot was taken seriously at some point is scary.
