Interesting that SW.com is uploading new (and possibly better quality versions) of old videos to youtube.

It is not as ESB_TP contains this shot:
See Rinzler's 'TMoESB' pg.333 for more info.

Congrats, please write up how this all happened! Did you get lucky and were working CE2 anyway and this became your project or were you part of the individuals who found it and helped get it into the celebration?

bothersome.
Came up recently here:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Behind-the-scenes-footage-I-ve-never-seen/topic/15654/
Same footage different uploader.
Some neet stuff if you pause the quick frames. The reverse angle of when Camie grabs Luke's binocs. Marcia Griffin looks a lot like Robin Gurland in this clip. And for one shot there is more top and bottom frame then the 'Behind the Magic' version. Some dirt spots match between versions other shots don't....

Harlem Shake : Star Wars Edition (SWTOR) :Here was my remembrances when I asked Burtt on this issue:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Star-Wars-Tantives-Orange-Items-Thread-other-unintended-objects/post/592758/#TopicPost592758
I think listing out places where we believe a major/minor branch is made in the taxonomy and why is something to consider next. For example, were early VHSs made from a lower generation source and maybe the Definitive Collection or one of the releases at the end of the VHS era used a different source, something 'better' or closer to the film source. Did Widescreen and Pan/Scan work from the same or different sources?
The other problem considering a total film taxonomy is at any time they could replace a shot, because of SFX, crawl, credit, subtitles they all cause the taxonomy to bifurcate.
Would it make sense to split the definitions to reel numbers. Do some of the middle reels have less SFX and might not have been likely to have changes over the years?
Or conversely, find releases which share many traits and that helps whittle things down.
*EDIT*
What the Wookiegroomer split versions did for the research into SE identification (doubleofive's pages and Harmy's DeSps), SWTax needs a multi-release presentation to help the work along. It's a pain finding one thing to look into then opening up 7-15 releases for that specific frame. So what 5-10 releases would people consider good candidates for the next WG-like-splits?
I'm going to recommend reading Harmy's projects thread:
See if you can figure out it's proper name and as you read the thread you'll come across areas where Harmy is looking for help.
If you are looking to practice your pshop sfx skillz then probably the Fan Edit forum would be a place where you could get more requests for work. There tend to be lots of ideas but they come from people without the technical abilities.
and don't be surprised if this thread gets moved to a different forum.

Any file which is 'check'ed when you right click on one of the selected files, all their links can be copied to the clipboard, which then can be dropped into jDownloader or other automated systems. What number is the last rar file?
Site is entering a new phase of development. In the 1980's section is a program I hadn't seen, 'The Risk Business'. Many great ESB behind the scenes shots from this 1980 BBC show.

This Jeanette Vogelpohl seems to still live at the same address, could be in her 60s. She's got a son, Scott in his 30s, who could be this individual: https://www.facebook.com/nleseul If anyone uses that website and could send a polite letter, feel free.

Issue 39 comments section:
. . . Somebody should tell Harrison Ford that
when a woman passionately tells a man, "I love
you," "I know" is not an acceptable response.
That scene was not funny, it was infuriating. At
least I know who to blame for one of those obnox-
ious "love scenes." Now who's responsible for
the rest of them? They totally ruined an otherwise
wonderful movie.

Issue 38 contains the "The Empire Strikes Out" article.
...and in the comments section:
. . . George Lucas has made a movie even more racist and sexist that the first. I would think that Billy Dee Williams would resent being the token black in the film. Also, there was only one other woman, apart from Carrie Fisher, in the movie. Additionally, I think it says something about the acting in the
film when the most fascinating character is three feet tall and green.

Replace 'Are' with 'Were' and 'still' with 'ever'...
Had painted one of these at one point:

Also has an image space ship reference from Mobius in the Droids cartoon.
T'Bone's also got a good trailer resource page:
http://www.starwarz.com/tbone/archive/index.php?categoryid=27
Problem is the original poster is looking for a different trailer:
The 2nd one uses the triangular shaped Star Wars font from tghe Tommy Jung poster. This is the trailer I am looking for. The Fox trailer (not original) without Williams soundtrack.
I haven't seen this one, fairly certain it hasn't made any home video release. If they return hopefully they can specify what audio was part of the cut. Their description sounds like the 1978 trailer just with different music.

Has posted the theaters RotJ started in. And there's other good information on the last page. Quotes from reviews, and other stats.
Here's where I saw it:
Yonkers – General Cinema CENTRAL PLAZA CINEMA I & II (70mm Six-Track Dolby Stereo)
My sister took me, and I kept wandering off the line so she would throw pennies around. So when I returned and pick um up each time going, "Hey where'd this come from! I'm rich!" If you remember, I was expecting Admiral Ackbar to be 'the other' Yoda had referred to in ESB. Simplier/dumber times.
