Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are on the peak of their carreers right now, so they won't be typecasted. With Alec Guiness, all his major work was done before SW and he was unknown to younger audiences. Mark Hammil had no carreer before SW, so he got that Luke Skywalker image he couldn't (and still can't) shake off. Fortunally, Mark Hammil knows how to deal with it.

Title III: National Film Preservation - Subtitle A: Reauthorization of the National Film Preservation Board - National Film Preservation Act of 2005 - (Sec. 302) Amends the National Film Preservation Act of 1996 to expand the use of the National Film Registry seal, which indicates that a film has been included in the Registry and is the Registry version of the film, for use on other approved copies of the Registry version of the film. Allows only the copyright owner or an authorized licensee of the copyright owner to place the seal on any film or other approved copy of the Registry version of a film selected for inclusion in the National Film Registry in the case of mass distributed, broadcast, or published works.

Directs the Librarian of Congress, in consultation with the National Film Registry Board, to:

(1) carry out activities to make films included in the National Film Registry more broadly accessible for research and educational purposes and to generate public awareness and support of the Registry and the comprehensive national film preservation program;

(2) review the comprehensive national film preservation plan, and amend it to ensure that it addresses technological advances in preserving, storing, and accessing film collections in multiple formats; and

(3) whenever possible, undertake expanded initiatives to ensure the preservation of the moving image heritage of the United States by supporting the work of the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center of the Library of Congress at Culpeper Virginia, and other appropriate nonprofit archival and preservation organizations.

Increases the number of members on the National Film Preservation Board, the maximum number of members-at-large that the Librarian may appoint, and the number of members required for a quorum.

Directs the Librarian to utilize the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center to ensure that preserved films included in the Registry are stored in a proper manner, and disseminated to researchers, scholars, and the public as may be appropriate in accordance with U.S. copyright law and the terms of any agreements between the Librarian and persons who hold copyrights to such audiovisual works.

Extends the prohibition on the unapproved use of the National Film Registry seal to any format of such a film.

Reauthorizes provisions regarding film preservation.

As everyone reading this probably already knows by now, despite ET's universal goodwill there were many (myself included) out there with their knives out and sharpened, ready to eviscerate this release but good. Thanks to a heap of marketing from Universal indicating that the original, unaltered 1982 theatrical cut of the film would only be available in a pricey three-disc box set, many rightly complained, not wanting to have to pay a steep $70 just for the privilege of owning the original version. But now, at the last minute (and despite even the packaging not revealing its true contents) only Spielberg himself has stepped forward and delivered the full monty. Both the more affordable two-disc set (available in either widescreen or pan & scan) and the deluxe box set both include the 1982 cut as well as the 2002 re-release, and surprise, surprise, both look quite good.

I should also add that ET was the first movie to freak me out so bad I had nightmares.
At age 24 years and 11+ months, I still have trouble watching the movie. The chase in the movie opening and the shot where ET is face down in the ditch, they still give me the willies.
Any movie that can get that kind of reaction out of me has to be strong.

Perhaps keeping a small piece of chalk with the discs might help, as the chalk "sucks up" the humidity. Works to prevent magnetic tapes to develop mold and stuff.

Stan: [steps forward] You're wrong, Mr. Lucas. They're not your movies. They're ours. All of ours. We paid to go see them, and they're just as much a part of our lives as they are of yours.

Kyle: When an artist creates, whatever they create belongs to society

George Lucas: Have I... become so old that I've forgetten what being an artist is about?

From what I've read, if the LD has laser rot, there isn't much you can do about it. It's a natural chemical reaction, so unless you are willing to store your LDs inside an airtight chamber and can synthesize excited bromide in an argon matrix (Let's see someone get that quote ), you'll just have to wait and see which discs survive and which don't.

USA Today got a hint from George Lucas at his AFI lifetime achievement award gala about the new live-action "Star Wars" TV series. The series is expected to take place sometime between "Episode III" and "Episode IV".

Ford was approached by Daniel Logan, 18, who played young Boba Fett
in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Lucas said Logan's character may
be included in his live-action Star Wars TV series, which is in the
works.

IESB.net also chatted with Lucas who said they are getting ready to go on the 3D half-hour version of the Clone Wars animated series is. "The live action will be, you know, a year or two later," he added.

Asked if we're going to see some back stories, like Knights of the Old Republic, in the series, Lucas said, "there is a possibility of that, but not in this series. You know, there's a possibility of more series if these work."[/a]

Sorry, but they are worlds apart in concept. Lucas even admits as much.
