Not for any special edit, just a custom cover.

There's several programs (probably including some free ones somewhere) that do the job, but I've had the most success with Nero:

I thought about that as well. In one of the first drafts of the screen play I think that was accually true. But as the story evolved, and I use that word loosely, it was dropped. When Sifo Dyas is mentioned, he was a known Jedi Council member, so I don't thing it could be Palpatine.

I don't know- in PT logic 'magic force monkeys' could have easily flown out of Yoda's butt too so I'd tend to not dismiss anything.

Of course the *other* theory, one that sounded kinda logical to me, was that Sifo-dyas WAS Palps... aka Sideous.

Sifo-dyas... Sid De ous... etc

LOL. They should have had one guy off to the side saying "Er, Sir... Mr. Palpatine? Geez sir that looks pretty nasty- I think it might get infected..." Then have the new Emperor, while looking crossly at the person who spoke up, unscrew the lid of a salt shaker and pour it onto Anakin's body... then walk on.

Maybe it was really mega-mega-mega Death Star (sans weapons)! Maybe it started as a small artificial satellite that someone built a house on and it kept growing and growing and being built on, etc, etc.... Maybe the core is hollow and contains HUGE water holding/recycling tanks (I mean I assume they pee and stuff so it has to go somewhere) and then occasionally giant artifical geysers errupt 'rain' over areas of the planetoid to clean it up.

Obviously we don't know *exactly* how their government worked but my guess is that *whichever* official representative makes a motion its on behalf of the planet they represent- and a motion is basically just to officially open something up for discussion meaning that even if 15% or whatever of other systems voted 'no' the systems either independently wanting military action and/or already under Palp's sway would have been enough to make the motion pass. Palps just needed someone stupid enough to have the balls to actually bring it up.

As for Siphodious (sp?) I feel it was just another case of too many names for too many superfluous characters and GL just lost track of it or it was meant to be someone else (like Dooku under a psuedonym as discussed elsewhere).

The 'binary sunset' sequence is a crowning moment of cinema and is a perfect synergy of performance, cinematography, direction and scoring. The ENTIRE message, IMHO, of the OT is told in that one short sequence- with, I'll add, only approximately ONE 'special effect'.

That scene was added on, thematically, in ESB with the 'I am your father' exchange (in which we learn that hope can sometimes turn to despair which in turn can create a direction in our lives) and then in ROTJ with the 'I am a Jedi' sequence and the Emperor scenes which follow (bringing us full circle and showing that mature decisions and the right direction can lead us down the correct path even at the very end).

*sigh* Escapist fun yes. Lessons to be learned for a young impressionable mind? Absolutely. I'll refrain from any comments on the PT in this thread.

They are pretty scattered. Most, if not all, are found throughout the covers thread. OCP set some aside HERE...

Thanks! Got them all except the Classic ROTJ you have pictured above. Any chance I could get it emailed to me?

I know we've had threads about favorite lines from the SW films, but what about line that still give you 'goosebumps' when you hear them?

I can't say I remember many lines from the PT but I still get a charge out of Luke's delivery of:

"I am a Jedi... like my father before me"
