Some guy on reddit posted this gallery:
with the title "Pictures from my boss's Star Wars collection"
Needless to say, fascinating stuff. Pretty sure that's a real original disintegrating Yoda head.
Pagz's solution to the QG/Yoda problem is perfect. I hadn't heard of that, but it's fantastic.
As for the first problem you list, it's only a problem if your goal is making sure the viewer doesn't know Ben is lying. If your goal is preserving the surprise at the end of ESB, then just having Ani die and Vader appear as a new henchment solves the problem entirely. My stance is that it's fine if the viewer knows Ben is lying but doesn't know how much he's lying - Ben is trying to manipulate Luke into wanting to take out the Emperor's new henchman while protecting himself. After all, it would ruin a lot of his take-down-the-Emperor plans if Luke knows Obi-Wan killed his father. And why would Luke listen to a guy who killed his father? Thus, the viewer thinks, the lie.
It isn't until the end of ESB that the lie makes even more sense.
Fascinatingly, I got it from myspleen and saw no such problem
<p>This could also be a good way to track and list all the differences (audio and visual) between the versions. Scene by scene articles with variations listed.</p>
100% agree.
I'd love to get these. I'm wondering if you've heard ABC's work?

No no no!
I motion that we refer to this mysterious figure as Batman from now on.
<p>Biggest problem is that the lasers disappear during the spare-parts release shot. Other than that, it totally works.</p>
<p>Those jokes were not very good.</p>
So, what's a good source for ROTJ storyboards?
<p>So, film a shot of a gloved hand tossing a lightsaber onto a burning Vader.</p>
<p>Not <em>impossible</em></p>
Aaaaaaaaaand there goes one of the classic OT.com gripes.
I really look forward to that script.
Yub nub is okay, but I can't stand "CELEBRATE THE LOVE / CELEBRATE THE LIGHT / CELEBRATE THE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE"
Yeah, I really do like the 97 or 04 versions of the ROTJ ending.
<p>You don't need the knighting scene at all. Anakin's dead, Palpy controls the galaxy. Credits. Opening Scroll of ANH introduced Darth Vader and BOOM there is the new bad guy. Obi-wan blames Vader for Ani's death and the viewer sees Obi lying to set Luke up to want to take out Vader - which, given Yoda's reaction to the news of Luke learning the truth, seems like a reasonable guess at their plan.</p>
<p>I do like keeping in delivering the babies to Alderaan and Tatooine, so that we know who Luke is when we see him. The bro-sis reveal in ROTJ is not that great, is it?</p>

Akwat, are you sure NBC wasn't broadcasting game of one of the other channels it has be using during the Olympics?
Akwat said:
their online streaming site requires you to have cable service, which I don't.
He's only using broadcast TV, which means he only has the one channel, not the extra ones (MSNBC, etc).
Star Wars quote...
Would the time travel elements of the story allow them to write-off the existing X-Men films (excluding First Class, obviously) as alternate universe, ala Trek?
People have noted this, but others have explained it away. I don't recall how.
Yeah, I don't see any meaningful difference there.
<p>Yeah, I dunno what's going on with the editor.</p>
<p>That being said, if we're talking about ROTJ Wishlist (which...we are), I'd put back in Moff J's later scenes.</p>
<p>Because the scene on the shores of the river is pretty good. Or, at least, it's pretty good for the PT.</p>
