Jawas and Sandpeople instead of Ewoks? Sign me up.

Right, and that could briefly be told in the opening crawl. "After tracking the vile gangster, JABBA THE HUTT, to the remote world of [MADE UP NAME]..."

That's a pretty good idea... Heck, with some good rotoscoping, you could do better than to just shift the sand color.

I have no idea if it's feasible, audio/video-wise, but that interchange could be shortened to

HAN: I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur.
LUKE: There's nothing to see.
HAN: Convenient.

That does leave the "I'll meet you at the rendezvous point on Tatooine." line a little strange, but not unsalvageable.

Someone who knows Ming: Ask him to put them on a more public site. flickr or imgur come to mind.

The Return of the King isn't monstrously long now... well, it was monstrously long to start with, but not more so now unless you choose the option of purchasing the longer extended edition of the film. The EE was made for extreme fans of the films who want to pay extra to get a bloated experience. 

To be fair, TTT:EE is a better film in its extended form.

Yeah, but they would work.

I have a sneaking suspicion you'll hate it, but I look forward to it.

The fact is that George is a racist and sub-consciously injected his prejudices into Leia's character, which it is why it is ambigous. It is not a statement but a fuzzy reflection.

and we wonder why people this site is a little bonkers...

Oh and please make Artoo make his 'I am sad' sound when his friend is scheduled for a lobotomy instead of laughing his nuts off.

I think you overstate the situation. His personality will remain unchanged.

Also, Artoo consistently has a child-like personality.

This is how you celebrate my birthday?

I believe he's referring to J'ywz'gnk Kchhllbrxcstk Et'nrmdndlcvtbrx

For better or worse DJ, not everyone sees it that way. Probably something about not wanting to clutter the site with too many categories, setting a precedent, etc.

You are making the rules here, not me.

Excellent.

Ah but those were a gift, considered an antique, no? Conveniently, they were pretty old when he sold them in the 80s in IV.

Well we are a bunch of jerkoffs.

And no, no one wears glasses. It's the long-time-ago-far-away-future, which is a kind of future, and no one wears glasses in the future.

Perhaps they are made not to suffer. They are most existentially fulfilled in servitude.

It's not entirely baseless though. Please, consider the following:

• The most aliens we see are on backwater worlds, or in the Alliance
• We never see Imperial aliens
• The guard in the Detention Block refers to Chewie as "that thing".

Is the Empire inherently speciest within OT-canon? It's not explicitly stated, but it sure is easy to draw that conclusion.

Racial epithets are only bigoted when they are attached to a history of repression.

No.

Example?

Mmm, Obi Wan too orange, too baked.

 

Flesh tones, Harmy. Flesh tones.

So you're saying the robe should be black?

I do want to point out that the last bit of Jedi Rocks is not bad at all. The part with no words.

I'd actually say you're dead wrong about the B-Wing/Y-Wing switch. The ROTJ-Y-Wing shot you posted appears to be the same window-shapes as the ANH-Y-Wing shot, only the camera is in front of the pilot, rather than behind, thus we see less of the side-windows. You can see the the corners of the side windows starting, however. The ROTJ-Y-Wing has struts coming up on the left and right sides of that screencap, while photos of the B-Wing model show that there really shouldn't be any struts there. The interior of cockpits may have changed, but I'd bet they got window-shapes pretty close to correct.

Han Solo Adventures and Lando Calrissian Adventures are great books, as long as you don't mind some of the more bizarre stuff - Particularly in Lando.

Anybody know of people who have built their own cockpits and/or Falcon-turrets?

He kind of does when that other guy's head is on top of him, though.
