Kind of off topic, but I just stumpled upon this. http://www.legacybookspress.com/books.html If you click on the link and think "What the hell? What's this have to do with anything" just scroll down.

Looks good, pretty generic cover, but of course he couldn't use anything that is copyright. Pretty steep price tag, but I think I will eventually purchase one anyway. Would be cool to have a hard copy lying around and Zombie put a lot of hard work into it, he deserves to get something for it, even if it is just whatever fraction of that price tag the publisher gives him.

Cool man. Congratulations Zombie.

The price is a bit step but I think I'd pay it. I still haven't read it all, most of it in sections though. I just don't like reading that much text off the computer screen so that's why what I've read has been in pieces. I know I could print it out but the book would be handy.

Yeah that's right Gaffer.

And yes both C3PX and I can't spell flea.

.... I rank it right up there with "giant flee surfing" in my top five reasons why you might want to hide the fact that you like Star Wars.

I think there's an actual discussion topic in that sentence right there. Lol.

Oh and damn you I'd actually forgotten about that scene.

It's in Ep2 Gaffer Tape. It involves a grassy field and Anakin.... surfing. giant. flees. *projectile vomits*

^^ That's comedy gold right there.

The special effects would've been seen as aww inspiring! it would've been redone a hundred freaking times. we'd be bashing the OT instead of the PT to put it simply.

If you are so firm in your belief that this would be the case why did you ask the question in the first place?

Umm that's twice you've said 1979. Are you getting the confused with the fact Star Wars was released in 1977 and Episode 1 was released in 1999?

Come on Tiptup you know better than that ;)

Hmmm I'm trying to figure out ways to write this but my brain is failing me at the moment.

The prequel trilogy is the back story so it doesn't really exist with out the main story that is the OT.

When Lucas wrote the story for his science fiction fantasy movie The Star Wars he came up with an outline for the universe of sorts. A back story for General Kenobi and Luke's Father and the grand republic before the tyrannical Empire.

It was used to help flesh out the characters and universe a little bit. That's it.

When that one movie became successful he used what little story he hadn't used and made two sequels. Creating an empire himself he thought he could do one or two sequel trilogies and using his outline a trilogy set before SW based on the adventures of young Ben Kenobi.

That outline became pretty useless after SW '77 anyway. Before that Vader and Luke's Father were two different people and the Empire was corrupt bureaucracy not a successful Sith plot to take over the universe.

So based on all this I don't think your hypothetical can be answered.

edit: when I was talking about my brain failing me I was trying to think of a literary or even a film comparison.

So far I can't think of anything maybe some one can help me out.

...It also sets a precedent to have both versions (in some form) in any future release. I think some people at Fox or LFL definitely want the originals restored. So they've gradually creaked the door open slightly more and more as much as Lucas will let them......

I totally agree with you and think this is the only good thing to come out of this release.

Though the realist in me knows that in the end Lucas will do and release what ever pleases him precedents and minions be damned.

Yeah, I am curious about a number of things.

First off, whether or not the covers are the same as the original PT releases and the 06 release.

Second, if the Lego Star Wars demo is still there, or if they at least bothered to make them more current.

And finally, if the disc art/labels are still the same (for example, the OT release was done kind of oddly, with a "Disc One" followed by a "Bonus Disc". Seems like you'd either do it, "Disc One" and "Disc Two" or something like "Feature" or no extra label at all and a "Bonus Disc". Seemed odd to have a "Disc One" without a "Disc Two"). Wonder if they changed it or not.

Surprised to hear these are slimline, that is pretty lame, feels like a "budget" sort of thing to do, and these things certianly are not being sold at a budget price.

+ 1

Although I don't expect anyone of these boards to have bought these.

I've had a look around at dvdtalk.com forums with no success. But then again they hate double dipping as much as you'd expect. Maybe the official site might be the way to go but, you know... I'd rather set myself on fire than search there ;)

I'd expect same bonus disc labelling and content with the covers of the '06 release with slight alterations to fit the slim cases.

Feb '09

I wouldn't be surprised if that changes again though.

Haha.

This movie should about a bunch of friends one with cancer who expresses his immense desire to see the new Star Wars installment before he dies. Being the great friends they are they suffocate him with a pillow in the third scene.

Hey at least he won't live to see 2004 and it's infamous dvd release.

Joking of course.

I'd pay to see this movie, it looks good not great.

Dude that's awesome thanks for sharing.

I refuse to watch the Crystal Skull dvd once was enough thanks (besides the movie doesn't exist in my mind) but now I'm interested in the dvd features. Specifically what is said above and the rest of the movies long development.

That, what I guess is a screen cap, is awesome. I can forsee that being photoshoped numerous times with a multitide of phrases added like "Lucas = Fail"

I'm over criticising Indy 4, I saw it, didn't like it, said what I had to say and moved on. But this sheds new light on things.

My hope on Indy 4 was that Steven would keep Lucas in check. When the movie turned out the way it did I laid blame on Spielberg because the movie seemed to me as lazy if not more as The Lost World and because I couldn't expect anything less from Lucas.

This is just further proof to me that Spielberg wasn't all that interested in making another Indy film and was simply trying to appease Lucas and possibly Harrison. And that's unforgivable, if his heart wasn't in it it shouldn't have been. To suggest the possibility of another director doing it is just as horrible.

I don't know maybe I'm wrong and it's just me, I do after all love Temple of Doom.

I'm really Interested in all these old message board posts so thanks for posting them all.

I don't agree with a lot of it 'cause I actually like ROTJ (warts and all) but they're still a lot of fun to read. I do understand the criticisms though.

Can I answer another question I still have time?

...I think not

Activate my Proton Torpedo for next round please.

Hotrod - since you're are so keen on stealing my thunder ;) can you help me out on the order of the AT-ST's destroyed?

Obviously there's the one Chewie shot, the rolling logs and the swinging logs is there any I'm missing and what order did they occur? The question is bugging me. Damn brain.

Are you a member of the starwarsarchives forum?

If not there are tonne of photos like this over there and well worth checking out. The ones I posted are just specific to one particular costume.

How was the third Imperial scout walker on Endor destroyed? 6 POINTS

I'm going for broke...

My informed guess is Chewbacca's commandeered AT-ST blew it up/ shot it.

Besides I don't know any of the other answers either.

Can someone answer the exploded question as well, I'd like to know.

I found this image today and thought I'd add to the conversation from last year:

I went to post it over at http://www.starwarsarchives.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9&st=80

and found a few more I haven't seen before (credit to beermonster and Darth Neo - thanks)

Jerjerrod: The Emperor is coming here?

Vader: That is correct, Commnader. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of cleanliness.

Jerjerrod: We shall double our mops!

Vader: I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

Oh man that's lame *cue crickets*

What news magazine declared Star Wars "the year's best movie" in its May 30, 1977 issue? 5 POINTS

Time magazine.

Who killed Gold Leader during the first Death Star battle? 5 POINTS

I'm going to have to say Vader. Because if the answer was just random Tie Pilot it wouldn't be much of a question would it?

What did Luke scrape off R2D2's chassis in the garage? 3 POINTS

Carbon scoring?

Wow it's on again
