How many prongs were on Cloud City's carbon-freeze removal claw? 4 POINTS

Two

Yes thanks goes to the prop expert.

I too don't like the changes. Not because I hate the movie it comes from and not in a "it's different so it sucks" close minded fan boy kind of way but seriously it's the whole costume, the proportions are just....

....not good.

If that walked through the door in 1977 I don't know if Vader would be such a feared character and imposing figure.

But you can't blame Hayden. Who wouldn't want to be a part history and appear as Vader on screen.

edit: looking at that picture I'm some how reminded of Dark Helmet.....

Yawn....

Wake me up in 2-3 years when the OT is released. Even then it will only be an updated SE.

I won't be buying Indy 4 or Clone Wars in any format.

I'll pay it forward.

I just uploaded the file Bobby Jay sent to me, you need winrar to extract it.

ROTJ Style B is a favourite of mine because it hung my wall as a kid and I'd stare at it for hours and imagine the scenes it depicted when not watching the actual film.

Though Star Wars Style C is my all time favourite.

I have an original framed. It's older than me!

Though Style D as posted above is becoming a favourite of mine too, I'm going to have to get a reprint one day. I never really liked the Star Wars Style A poster for some reason although it's a classic.

Damn Lucasfilm for not making these images the cover art for the dvds. The GOUT nearly got it right, just backwards ;)

What actor played Uncle Owen? 2 POINT

Phil Brown

Hotrod - There isn't a ROTJ poster yet, but it's coming.

Dark Father - If you have bigger images of those posters could you post them here please.

What Rebel leader told Han Solo, "A death mark's not an easy thing to live with"? 1 POINT

General Rieekan

Damn you you DarkFather.

Those posters are so awesome I had to find out more about them and how I can obtain them.

Here's a link the the artists website: http://www.strongstuff.net/

What type of vehicle boasts eight tank treads?

Sandcrawler

What items of questionable taste hung from the ceiling of the Falcon's cockpit? 3 POINTS

Dice.

Only in one shot apparently. Can I have an extra point for the extra trivia, since a jawa scavenged one of my points ;)

edit: Can I activate my second torpedo for next round please.

Who had a droid in charge of his labor pool?

Jabba the Hutt

 

That will teach me to not read through the questions so fast. I thought the question was asking for the name of that droid that assigns R2 and C3PO their jobs and who also likes to torture droids that Jabba is displeased with.

How many hops did Chewbacca's holoboardgame piece move forward before its unfortunate capture? 4 POINTS

The only answer I know for sure is a question with no points awarded to it.

That's something I did not know, only an assumption I made, thanks for pointing it out. Like I said I've never been to a convention.

But I still stand by my comment that the producers of this show were not trying to organise the reunion out of the goodness of their hearts, they're doing it ultimately to make money, so why shouldn't Hamill be able to too.

Who was charged with overseeing the construction of the second Death Star? 5 POINTS

Jejerrod.

I'm spelling that with out using anything like google to confim (cause that's cheating) so please be kind.

Also may I activate a Torpedo or two for next round. Whatever they may do.

Why would Mark Hamill asking for money be cheapening himself?

I'm not in the U.K so I did not watch this but this is a tv program right. Channel 4 no less. They sell advertising space in between breaks. So essentially they're making money off the Star Wars brand and the likes of its stars like Mark Hamill and their work. Why shouldn't he get paid? Channel 4 are.

It would be like one of the many conventions asking Hamill or any other Star Wars actor to appear for free when the organisers are making money off ticket sales.

Speaking of conventions, I've never been to one but from what I'm aware of most of the actors that appeared on this tv special appear regularly at Star Wars conventions. So it's not really a great big reunion except its on tv.

How many royal guards were present when Luke Skywalker entered the Emperor's throne room? 2 Proton Torpedoes

Yes, Wall-E is the reason he's here doing press in Australia, but the article also mentions Indiana Jones 4 and Munich as other projects Ben has worked on in recent years. I like how the article mentions it's not Munich that his criticism is being directed at.

Poor Ben Burtt, when I hear his name I no longer think of the voice of R2-D2 or the inventor of the lightsaber hum, but the dejected guy in the editing room inventing 'split screen two different takes' editing.

Oh lol.

Mark Hamill who was in Star Wars was in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with Jason Lee who was in Mall Rats with Ben Affleck who was in The Sum of All Fears with Morgan Freeman who was in The Shawshank Redemption with Tim Robbins who was in Mystic River with KEVIN BACON.

Do I get bonus points for using Mark Hamill?*giggle*

I also took out the Jay and Silent Bob option which was any easy one for both Hamill and Fisher.

What character in the trilogy did George Lucas compare to Marlon Brando's portrayal of Don Corleone in The Godfather? 3 POINTS

I'm going to go with Jabba the Hutt.

Ah what the....?

New round please.

HotRod said:What? He shot at Solo too. And just once...I think

 

Yeah I read the question wrong. I read it as first not once.

What part of a spaceship do mynocks like to munch? 3 POINTS

Power cables?

It's a whole issue, but framed by Leia telling the story to everyone aboard the Millennium Falcon. Given the huge list of things Lucasfilm didn't want them to touch between movies, I'm amazed they got this one out.

Obi Wan does not wear robes in the actual story.

 

I was able to track this issue down.

It's interesting that the one Old Republic era story the old Marvel comic was able to do had Ben Kenobi in a sleek black outfit as well.

If anyone wants a read of it PM me. It was good to see Kenobi as imagined in 1979, but otherwise I thought it was a pretty uninteresting read, unfortunately.

As for what his clothes meant, I do recall reading a quote somewhere from Mark Hamill that said that George showed him that costume stating that it was representative of the Jedi garb of old.

I think the quote could be in regards to Lucas' comment to Hamill at his costume fitting "It's actually quite similar to your outfit from the first film.Just a black version that's a little bit more Jedi like."
