Info: My PAL VHS Archive Collection
Time
Hi Russ - the 1994 fullscreen ROTJ cover is one that's not seen too often - I don't think I've ever seen that one before.

Good luck with the rest of the project m8 - the more PAL goodness being backed up forever, the better


If you need any help on info for the UK releases try the bbfc.co.uk website - they are surprisingly friendly lot for a bunch of censors - and have vast info on every film released in UK cinemas AND on tape.

THE Most Awesome Scene in Star Wars

I agree. It has to be Yoda raising the X-Wing from the swamp. That scene really captures the mystical element of Star Wars which has been all but destroyed by the SEs and prequels.


Definately m8 - I do wonder over time if scenes from the Prequels will be thought of in the same way?


On a different level as a teenage lad the Leia bikini scenes from ROTJ sort of stick in the memory

Super Star Wars (and 'Super Empire Strikes Back' & 'Super Return Of The Jedi')
Time

The Bizzle said:

From what I understand (had a Genesis not the SNES) but Super ESB is considered one of the 3 hardest games ever made. EVER.

Care to list the other 2 you’re thinking of mate?

Is one of them Jet Set Willy on the commodore64 or spectrum? I spent hours, if not days, as a kid trying to complete that - only to enter a room ‘wrong’ and lose all my lives. A little frustrating in that it took around 5 hours to complete the game - and no saves or time to rest etc…
 

As for the Super Star Wars series - bloody difficult but do remember them as highly addictive games 😃

Terrible songs that you secretly like... (aka the all-to-brief OT.com boyband thread)
Time

C’mon people, it’s time to own up and admit just how bad some of your secret musical tastes are…

I’ll go with 2 for starters:-

Bananarama’s ‘Cruel Summer’ - typical '80’s crap thunk poptune

&

William Shatner’s ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’ - just so cringeworthy awful I enjoy listening to it

Found this quote from Lucas about the Fans from May '05
Time
"I agree... mostly. You have reinforced my point that the three "great" SW films are ROTS, ANH, and ESB, while the threee that "lack" are TPM, AOTC, and ROTJ. What I hate, though, are those kids who love the PT, but don't care for the OT. Those people really piss me off, because it's obvious that they only like them for the "cool" effects and flashy scenes, and couldn't care less about the story..."


^ they will grow up - and possibly appreciate the OT characters and their interaction more, along with picking up on things they missed out when they were younger whilst looking at 'kewell' explosions & creatures... (shudders)

If only it were real....

Lord Phillock - a nice idea, and I believe those covers in those colours are already somewhere up at the grisan site, here:-

If you wish to see some metallic SW boxes with artwork on, then this is the place for you m8, and he MAY even be able to help you out with an exclusive set:-

phantom menace first thoughts
Time

Many people here have expressed the same kind of feelings as I had when watching TPM for the 1st time, however I would say, on the plus side I was impressed with Liam Neeson's portrayal of Qui-Gonn, and the lightsabre fight bewteen him, Maul and Obi-Wan, along with the promise McGregor showed as Kenobi, but that was almost it.

However, I do remember thinking 'is this it?', 'is this the best that GL and his people could come up with'?

With thanks to the Phantom Editor, MagnoliaFan and ADigitalMan (along with many others) I can now watch them enjoy it - there was a decent/good film in there - somewhere. In a way it is pretty damning of LucasFilm that the editing and pacing was so 'off' and overdrawn that a few fans with imagination and some cheap software made it feel more like Star Wars than LucasFilm could.

Jokes thread : Reloaded
Time
A golden oldie...


A young boy went up to his father and asked, "What's the difference between potentially and realistically?"

The father ponders for a moment and then answered "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million quid and also ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million quid, then
come back and tell me what you learned.

So the boy went to his mother and asked "Mum, would you sleep with Robert Redford for a million quid?" The mother replied, "Definitely, I wouldn't pass an opportunity like that."

The boy then went to his older sister and asked "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million quid?" The girl replied "Oh gosh, I would just love to do that, I would be nuts to pass up that opportunity."

The boy then thought about it for a few days, and went back to his father.
His father asked him "Did you find the difference between potentially and realistically?"

The boy replied, "Yes, potentially we're sitting on 2 million quid, but realistically we're living with two slappers."
"The father replied, "That's my boy."
