I take it the Christmas Special wasn't 'Abducted By The Daleks'?

Sad to say I missed it, though will hopefully be acquiring it soon. Thought Eccleston's Who did a great job in bringing the style of Who up to date (as it were), should be interesting to see how the 2nd series does under Tennant.

I take it that you plan to use them for all 3 episodes of the Prequels, m8? Either way, sounds intriguing...

Point 11 is one that realy sticks out for me - the missus can't understand why I'd watch it on tv when all I do is moan when I see something 'SE' - I suppose she does have a point, but I just give her a Sideshow Bob sneer

If it helps for your searches I think it's Ralph McQuarrie - not Chris?

google may still have the 'large pic' search function - though am not sure if it's any good...

Jambe - Received your Building Empire in the post this morning - many thanks m8.

I have to say that anyone who enjoyed OCP's Episode 4 based 'Deleted Magic' will more than likely enjoy this too. The overall presentation is very professional and would not look out of place as bonus material for the Official Releases - except that this surpasses anything of late produced by Lucas.

The title menu sets the tone for the whole project. The use of the McQuarrie artwork and the soundtrack used are very fitting - almost haunting.

The use of the storybooks to outline alternative and unused plotlines, comics, other shooting scripts and their drafts, rare photos, alternative takes, behind the scenes camera footage, the use fo the 8mm Super Film dialogue, the 70mm dialogue changes, as well as some of the changes made to ESB down the years in it's different versions, were all solid in their execution - and very easy on the eye. It all seemlessly blends together with the actual film being played throughout the documentary - only cutting away from it when necessary to show the viewer an alternative shot, angle or bit of information.

The subtitles were a great a way of getting facts on the screen without taking away what was happening on the screen itself - very nicely done too - clear and concise. The names of the people on commentary pop up throughout to let the viewer know is speaking.

Another welcome inclusion by Jambe is giving us, via subtitles, some of the films and tv programs that some of the minor actors went on to make - surprising just what all those Imperial Officers (& Rebels) went onto after leaving the Empire...

I hadn't heard Kershner talk about ESB before - he seems to have a genuine feel for the movie and enjoyed making little changes and additons here and there from the original script. Many people behind the scenes are also featured on commentary throughout - sharing their insights, tips and memories - as well as the actors - both main and 'minor' along with Lucas & Kurtz.

The behind-the-scenes camera footage really gives the feel that this film was a labour of love, the time and effort that went into making the film by the technical and construction crew too. Frank Oz also gives a welcome insight into just how difficult it was to get to grips with the Yoda character, and mastering the puppet itself on-set. Again Jambe comes up with some info on just what it took to build some of the sets used for Empire - and the difficulties and bonuses of using them.

I'll have to watch this through again tomorrow - there was just so much information at times (coupled with my excitement as seeing this) that I'm bound to have missed some bits 'n pieces.

The Extras section - accessible via ROM folder contains the ESB Radio Drama - well worth a listen to for it's execution and differences from the film. Also here is an alternative title crawl for ESB - I've never seen this before, and it's fascinating to read and actually watch the crawl roll on a stark Hoth background...

Great work - you can really tell a lot of time & effort went into this - not only the content but it's presentation too. 'Tis a credit to you, Jambe.

Enjoy a good break m8 - I have the feeling there'll shortly be a lot of people asking when you are going to start on a Jedi version - me included

Surprised that Ep4 didn't do better - perhaps GL is taking note and plans to place Jar Jar in it...

I thought that Ep1 was going to be a lot more political - I seem to remember Terence Stamp, the actor who played Challecor Vallorum in Ep 1, sometime after the cinematic release stating that the many of the scenes he filmed with others didn't make it to the film...

Maybe 20 years from now people will be talking about a 'Lost Cut' of Episode 1 - but I doubt it somehow... a shame, it could have given the many talented Fan Editors something more to work with...

TIE Fighter for me too

Something strangely addictive about the game - perhaps it was the chance to side with the Imperials and show the Rebel Scum who's boss

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."
