It's a little strange that the press release on the sw.com has changed 3 times (or is it more?) since it's first appearance on 4th May - with info disappearing/reappearing about the possible content/versions of this release.

Though, having said that, it's certainly got the fans talking... interesting publicity - or perhaps not everyone 'high up' in LFL knows what's going on?


More changes to come?

It's finally done and over, and we get to have our beloved movies. But also a little sad because many of us will move on now that the "war is over."

It doesn't have to be that way. People can still discuss the original trilogy. After all, we're all here because we really like it. It's a passion, an escape, a part of our journey. We've spent plenty of time discussing it, but now there won't be this preoccupation with, or this threat of, it being taken away forever while we try to find a way to save it.

Sure, the war is over - but now, the original trilogy isn't. I'll make that trade any day.



With the forthcoming releases it may well be possible/easier to do edits for each time GL tinkered with every release...

Let's wait and see just what is going to be on these discs - a capture from the 1993 laserdiscs, or a hybrid of a couple of releases etc, a suped-up OCP set?


Am expecting 'George Lucas' to start his own thread in the 'Preservation Section' shortly - though probably won't be telling us exactly how he made this set - and he may get short shrift if he starts asking for money for them...

Jokes thread : Reloaded

A man breaks down on the motorway in his 3-wheeled Reliant Robin. Just then a fella in a Lamborghini passes and stops to help. "I'll give you a tow to the next garage" says the man, "but if i'm going too fast for you, just flash your lights and I'll slow down"

So off they go, the Reliant in tow.

They're driving along, when a Ferrari whizzes past, doing 150mph.

The Lamborghini driver decides to pose, and race the Ferrari, and proceeds to put his foot down.

A mile down the road, a policeman on his motorbike radio's through to his colleague. "You won't believe what I've just seen. A Ferrari doing 150mph and a Lamborghini racing beside him also doing 150mph.

Whats so great bout that?" asks the colleague

"Well," says the copper "There's a Reliant Robin also doing 150mph, flashing his lights, trying to overtake..."

What a shit job. But because I knew it was only for a few weeks, I didn't really care about it.

But I eventually got the sack for spraying glue into my eyes. I was so bored I made a little tube out of stickers that were lying around, and stuck them in the nozzle of the spray glue. Then for some reason I sprayed it into my eyes. Yep, I nearly went blind, and they fired me. Well, I suppose it didn't help that I kept taking the piss out of the mongs who worked there. But man, what a shit job.



That's one to save for the grandkids mate...

Got fired from a plastics company many, many years ago for telling my boss to fuck off and that if he was going to carry on trying to physically intimidate me and spread lies about my 'appalling behaviour and attitude' to fellow workmates that I'd simply prove him wrong by phoning for ambulance right then to take him to hospital for after I'd finished with him.

Not proud of my actions - but at the time it was the only thing I could think of to end a fairly miserable time working with him. I suppose in the end he was right about my bad attitude - in the end.

Emotionally I was a rollercoster for a couple of weeks after - did knock my confidence a little - but got over it soon after.


Chin up, Invader Jenny - 'tis just a job after all - only a small part of life, and possibly a job you may not even remember in a few weeks...
