7. About Darth Vader, there were some small signs of him wondering if Luke was right. After Luke left him alone in the landing plateform catwalk, being the only one who could sense Luke on Endor, (even though palps said he had forseen it). One other one too i can't remember. But yea, if you look at all six movies you find that Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker was made out to be evil.

6. I can't stand the idea of Lando dying. I know there's some irony in that, but no. He can't die. it would ruin the movie for me, especially after i've seen it like, so many times i can't even count.

4. Wasn't it always meant for luke and leia to be bro and sis?

What I meant with #7 was there is no signs in A NEW HOPE or EMPIRE that Darth Vader had any good in him. Introducing this possibility in the middle of the 3rd act of a trilogy makes it seem completely out of place and out of character. Darth Vader did nothing good or redeeming in episodes iV or V.

#6. The fact that you care enough about Lando to NOT see him die is the very definition of the dramatic tension lacking in the movie. If he died, you would care. Without any danger, there is no drama.

#4. Only in the 2nd draft of EPISODE iV. In no other draft of the original screenplays for A NEW HOPE or EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (especially NOT in any draft of EMPIRE STRIKES BACK). With A NEW HOPE and EMPIRE as they were filmed, it is completely obvious they were not intended at the time they were filmed to be brother and sister. For god's sake, the make out with tongue. Twice if you include deleted scenes that were shot.

Just finished the blu ray set. I wrote a blog about why ROTJ is the worst of the 6 movies.

I just made my own documentary just from exclusive Laserdisc extras from the 1993 DEFINITIVE, 1995 Leonard Maltin interviews, and the Japanese 1997 Special Edition extended documentary.

That's the only original trilogy, though.

 I thought the within a minute was a good idea for documentary -  it just got a little out-of-scope when talking about the caterer (!) and the payroll department ;)

I love it for that, but I wanted more on, you know.... OTHER parts of the movie aside from that :53 second clip.

It was in 2006 shortly after the DVD came out, some site (probably theforce.net) had Rick McCallum talking about another documentary that got bumped in favor of WITHIN A MINUTE.

Yeah, I am 100% positive I read that. It was a more comprehensive, behind the scenes of the whole movie. But it never got released, that I know of.

What was the name of the REVENGE OF THE SITH documentary that got pulled at the last second from the DVD in favor of the WITHIN A MINUTE one?

Has it ever surfaced in any way?
