I think thats the version he is talking about.

What with this thread and Bossk's, I'm getting hit pretty hard with nostalgia today.


I watched the 70s version, it was broadcasted here in the mid 80s by a local network. It was probably the cheapest thing they had available to fill time...

Earliest TV or Movie Memories

Glad to be an inspiration for a new thread I don't have a good memory, I forgot about things from 2 or 3 years ago... And I don't have many childhood memories, I forgot most things...

I was born in july, 1982... My earliest memory of them all is a vague image I remember when I was about 2 years old.

My earliests TV memory envolves local TV shows from the mid 80s, so you wouldn't know what they are. I do remember watching some old japanese tokusatsu live actions series we had on TV in the mid/late 80s, such as Changeman and Spectreman (unknown to north american and european audiences). I remember watching re-runs from Batman, A squad, Land of the Lost, Dallas... I remember some old japanese cartoons, and some american cartoons we had such as transformers, get along gang (I still know the opening lyrics by heart), and muppet babies... Unfortunally most of my childhood memories envolve local stuff you wouldn't understand.

My earliest movie memories: I remember watching the first muppet movies, my father rented the VHS back in... 1986, 1987... I remember watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" on the movie theater, and it literally blew my mind. I blame my dementia on Cristopher Lloyd's character at the end of that movie, it scared the living heck out of me and amazed me at the same time (I bought the DVD 17 years later). I remember watching "Empire Strikes Back" in tv in 1989 and being disapointed because it had no ending, and at that same week or month I watched BTTF 2 on the theaters and on the way back asking my parents how did they have the preview for BTTF 3 if it hadn't been release yet... I also remember watching Batman in 1989, I remember that clearly... I remember TV ads for "Indiana Jones and the Last Cruzade". I also remember some local made kid movies in the 80s...

Even though it was a friendly reminder, you are right. I didn't mean to break any of the forum rules. Since this thread has served its porpouse, it can be killed/closed...

Hmn, you got a point. OK, so I'd like to see a sequel, BUT... I wouldn't be able to watch the Joker being played by someone else than Jack Nicholson... besides Mark Hammil of course.

This technology made some truly realistic animal effects and most SFX artists use that casting/curing process now. The thinking with TPM Yoda puppet was "people believed the puppet in ESB and ROTJ, we'll keep the puppet and with this new technology it will seem even *more* realistic to people!" The logic was sound but the execution was greatly flawed. From 'skin' coloration to the aforementioned lighting to the actual 'youthfull' sculpt the whole attempt tanked; the puppet look worse than toy Yodas that one could buy in the 80s at toy stores.


The TPM Yoda dosen't look bad. It looks different. Heck, even the ROTJ Yoda looks kinda weird to me. ESB Yoda IS the one and only Yoda.

Why not Mark Hammil as the actor as well? Of course, I'm saying this as a SW fan, because I don't really want to see a sequel to "Begins".

how long does it take to train a jedi?

There has been a great dispute around how much time Luke spent in Dagobah. I've heard "two days", and I've heard "one year". Let's asume it took a whole year for Solo and Leia to get out of Hoth, travel through asteroids, escape from the empire and go to where Lando is, therefore Luke trained for a full year. Luke had a very specific training, and most of it was probably offscreen (like the lightsaber one, I suppose he fought Yoda?).

They do deserve it, and they deserve MUCH more, I was just saying that the whole meaning behind these days were bought off and commercialized by corporations.

For that I apologise. I tend to express my insane political views in the most inapropriated moments. Sorry.

The originals had Harvey Dent played by Billy Dee Williams (a black guy), and then by Tommy Lee Jones (a white guy). You'd think that with these movies, where they know of sequel possibility, that they'd at least map out the basic plotlines of a few of them so you know which minor character flaws are going to come back and bite you in the ass.


Billy Dee Williams was set to play Two Face, his contract with WB had that clause saying that if Two Face was to appear in any movie, he would play it. Eventually WB chose Tommy Lee Jones for the role and bought Billy Dee Williams out of his contract.
