Actually i was thinking about a change that hasn't been made: the first time we see the Falcon in SW, it's obvious only half of the ship as been built, you don't see the antenna dish on the top of the Falcon. GL has time and money to make the ewoks blink, putting the rock before R2, etc... but this no?

(I know... i know... it's GL. What did i expect?)

Well, on the good side the prelogy bits don't mix at all with the trilogy ones.

(...what? Three different directors bring more unity than one?)

Is the audio commentary track worthy on the US dvd? because here in France it was skipped.

But we do have some nice extras on the french dvd:longer interviews with Kurtz, Pollock, French critics, etc...

Well... i didn't like at all his performance in the part, most of the time he is not in character, just here saying his lines, but i'm a bit indulgent 'cause of the writing and the directing of Lucas. We all know the good acting and dialogues from the OT didn't came from GL: thanks to Kurtz, Huyck, Katz, Kasdan and Kershner (wow! lots of K!!!) and to the actors 'see the work done by Ford and Kershner on Han).

On 1 to 10? 3...

McGregor was a lot more convincing in the part of Obi Wan (and a far better actor...)

It would be nice for Gary Kurtz who's gonna endure another screening of the SE.

Darth Vader: That is correct, Commander. And, he is most displeased with your apparent lack of pants.

Mon Mothma: Many Bothans died to bring us this pants.

Wow! that's very ...unimpressive. It looks like any "making of" documentary about modern movies (bunch of guys in front of computers).

I can easily picture one of these hard drives with a small label on it: "Original Unaltered Trilogy - HD master - Use for anything else than digital modifications is forbidden"

It's probably the first memories i have from a movie, and it was more than a movie it was an open window on a whole new universe.
That got me into movies, sci-fi,comics,music etc...

10 years... That's really too long for the sad joke that it is!

I remeber before these 10 years, when EVERYBODY liked SW! ...those were the days.

Nobody was really looking for him.

In the novelization of ROTS, they say something to this effect, IIRC. By Ep. IV, everyone has Kenobi written off as dead.

Is this official? Wow! i can picture the scene...

imperial officer walks to the Emperor:

"_ hummm Sir?

_ yes?

_ what about this Obi Wan ...Kenobi?

_ oh forget about it! he's no problem...

_ really?

_ what ?

_ well...he's a jedi knight, he's strong with the force, he almost killed your new apprentice and we don't know where he is....

_ listen i have more important things to do, i have to choose the color for the Death Star laser! leave alone!"

Here's a little SW mystery (maybe it has been discussed before...i don't know..) When Luke goes into the cave to face the Vader image, we see him in some kind of tunnel with structures that looks like it's something build (specially when le slow motion part begins), i never knew what it was (ancient temple? abandonned base?...) maybe it was explained in the EU? what are your opinions about this?

here's what i'm talking about
