For those who might care, I have the comic in question.  It mentions
that Fett was part of an elite force whose duty was the protection of
the planet Mandalore.  The corrupt government sent this force of 212
elite warriors into battle on the side of the empire.  When the wars
were over, only 3 of these warriors survived.  Fett went on to become a
bounty hunter and the other two returned to their home planet to
liberate it from the grasp of Imperial slavers.

[Stuff on MAD article deleted]

I had also seen this article but never connected the name of Mandalore
because I had read the comic first.  Interesting, I wonder if that's
where they got it?

I don't know how much faith one wants to put in a comic so take the
above for what you think its worth.

May the Force be with you.

Shawn.

done a few productions myself, non-professional, and I could tell that as

    I love stupid threads. Remember the thread about that guy who claimed
that Ben was Owen's brother... yeah those are the GOOD FUN threads. Then
there is the "get a life" Star Wars post.

     This guy has gotten more than his share of attention, and from what
I have read, went out with a bang (gee, why can't I write to him.... haha?)

     The point of this whole stupid post is to say that he isn't even worth
the time that people have invested in him. In fact, the more we get upset
and threaten to murder his family, the happier he will probably be (that
is if he isn't already dead). He picked a sensitive group of people and said
the things that would get them all upset. And like Pavlov's dog, we responded
with garble like "why don't you get a life" or "how dare you insult something
I love" etc.  instead of ignoring the bantha fodder he is and letting him
die slowly of loneliness.

    Let this thread die, please. There are better things for Star Wars
fanatics to talk about then that pitiful excuse for a human being. Let it
die now.

I just watched ANH (I've lost count on the number of times...), but I
think I noticed something new. This is on the lbx LD version. At around
13:45 into Side 2, where the MF is about to take off from Mos Eisley,
Chewie enters the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon. His head hits these
two small dice that are hanging from the ceiling (they're small,
metallic looking things). These dice do not appear in any other shots in
ANH, even though they probably should.

Has anyone else ever noticed these dice, and do they show up in ESB or
RotJ? I haven't checked them.

I know.

(Well, *someone* had to do it! :-)

As for my favourite scene, it's in TESB.  It's the whole sequence which
starts with a view of an Imperial Star Destroyer plus some TIE fighters,
which gradually moves into something's shadow; and then we see the something,
i.e. Vader's Super Star Destroyer.  Then there is the conversation between
Piett and Ozzel, where Piett reports finding something and Ozzel, acting
somewhat arrogant, dismisses it.  Then Vader interrupts, and Ozzel's tone
changes quite drastically.  But my real favourite bit is right at the end
of this sequence, when Ozzel gives Piett a truly dirty look.

Another part I liked was when Ozzel tried to report to Vader, who just
choked Ozzel while talking to Piett, starting his conversation by
addressing him as Captain, and finishing with "You are in command now,
Admiral Piett".  And Piett just looked down at Ozzel and rolled his eyes
up.

	I always thought that the _Executor_ was the only one
(at least at the time).  I think Han's remark is referring to
the number of Imperial Star Destroyers in the area.
	There's a really cool Star Destroyer type ship in
Star Wars: Dark Empire #6 (the Dark Horse comic).  It's huge,
black, and oddly shaped.  Very menacing.  I hope I see it again.

  I just remembered something about this scene.

  After this Luke says something to the effect of;

	"I'm here with BEN Kenobi"
                       ^^^

  And this is what convinces Leia to go with him, but how did she know that Ben was calling himself Ben?

  She only refers to him as Obi-Wan in her message that R2 delivered.  How did she know that Ben Kenobi was Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Just a thought

I always thought that skeleton passed by C3PO was a Dune Worm tribute.
Along with the "Spice" references, one could interpret the "maker" as the
Freman name for the small spice trout.

That's probably a stretch but I like both movies/books.

I think he wanted the oil-bath to lubricate his joints and remove sand and
corrosion.  I don't think he is too vane.  After all, he as a dent the size
of a quarter on his head.  He hasn't aske for that to be fixed yet.

Don't assume that just because she only uses one name in her message, 
that's the only one she knows.  Kinda like the guy everyone calls Bulldog.  
Everyone knows his real name is Irving, but if you send a message to him 
you'll probably address it to Bulldog.

Nah. he's just a stage and tv guy. I saw him talking about his WUNDERFUL
stage career on Canada's MuchMusic. Lotsafun.

From my own estimation he has done the following things:

1. ONE episode of Amazing Stories (the man who collected and kept everything)
2. TWO episodes of the FLASH TV show (RIP)
3. Oodles of voiceovers as the Joker and other personalities on Batman:
   The Animated Series cartoon in syndication on FOX tv.
4. Now here is a real gem. Back in 1987 he wrote an introduction to a Batman
   graphic novel for DC (Batman: Son of the Demon). Yes, he is a Batman 
   fanatic. He whined about the "terrible" TV show and how he likes all that
   dark and grim and gritty stuff that the new Batman is/was into. (this was
   before all of us Bat-fans killed off the boy wonder). vader@uwo.ca says

I love almost every minute of the Star Wars trilogy, but then there are also
the GREAT moments....of these, two of them actually make me tingle with
excitement:

#1--When Luke looks off into the Tatooine sunset;

#2--When Luke goes crazy and thrashes on Vader in RotJ.

From looking at the other posts, most people agree about these
scenes...perhaps they are indeed the most effective mooments in the series.

Runners-up include Vader's funeral pyre (has this been mentioned?), the
asteroid field, and the part where Boba Fett follows Han & co. out of the
Star Destroyer trash.

Of course the list goes on and on....

Subject:    Missing clip in ANH?

Last week, I ended my Star Wars drought (NOT RECOMMENDED) of 3 months by
viewing ANH in my friends room...

It had been a long time (since late August) since I had last seen this movie,
and something stuck out...

We were not watching a VHS version, but a version he taped off of HBO about 7
years ago (I dunno exactly when, but a LONG TIME ago...)

In the scene where the Sandcrawler goes to the Lars family homestead, and Luke
and his family are about to buy Threepio and Artoo, I noticed that there was
a scene (more like a clip) about 2 seconds long in which the huge Sandcrawler
was seen coming down a hill/dune in the desert, right before they approach
the homestead...

As I've stated, it had been a long while since I had last seen ANH, so this
scene did not look familiar... Could someone with the P&S version of the
Trilogy please let me know if I am crazy or not, or is this scene (clip) in
the regular VHS release...

Okay, back to your regularly planned flame fest... :)

May the Force be with you, always...

This seems like as good a place as any to mention the new Star Wars

IL.  *Very* neat; the playing board has models of Artoo and the Death
Star set into it.  Sound effects and dialogue from the film blare

pictures and scenes from the movies.  It's marvelous.  Almost makes
