Hi. I ran an auction a couple weeks ago for C-3PO w/ Removable Limbs and
Luke Skywalker in Battle Poncho. Thanks to all those who participated.

I came across some more of the same figures but I am not auctioning
them off since I think that would be unfair to those who bid on the first
set. I have the following figures FOR SALE AT THE PRICES MARKED. The first
to reply will get the first chance at them.  

I have 2 C-3POs w/ removable limbs on Power of the Force card w/ coin
	for $25 each.
		-and-

4 Lukes in Battle Poncho on Power of the for $35 each. 

The prices include postage. The figure are in mint condition. No 
price tags. Cardboard punchout for hanger is still intact. Slight nicks
here and there but unless you're REALLY REALLY REALLY picky, they are
in great shape. (I'm very picky and they are up to my standards :)  )

If you want any, email me.

	I have read these books, as well.  They take place between ROTJ 
and HTTH.  They're pretty interesting, and I'd recommend that every Star
Wars fan check them out.  They're not all that expensive, and I actually
enjoyed them.  
	Granted, a couple of things are obviously directed at kids in the 90's,
but there's still a lot of that Star Wars mystique.

	One amusing mistake:  not only does Luke fly a Y-Wing, but he takes
both R2 and 3PO somewhere in it during one scene.

I understood that David Lynch was offerred _JEDI_ by Lucas but turned
it down.
 
I seem to recall reading that in an interview/article when DUNE was
first released.

	Regarding someone's (I forget who they are) claim that Lucas liked
Raiders more than ROTJ, because he directed it-----WAKE UP!!!!!!
	All three Indy movies were directed by Speilberg, Lucas was the
executive producer and co-writer of the three.  He is also not directing
Young Indy--he's only the executive producer.
	Furthermore, while Lucas may not have written the screenplays (though
he co-wrote Jedi), ALL three movies are based on his story lines, the co-writer
merely filled in the dialogue around Lucas' ideas.  So, while he was "only"
the executive producer, he was also the writer...see the movie credits, I 
believe they ALL say "Story by George Lucas".
	Finally, JEDI was VERY important to Lucas.  This was the story that
ended his saga.  He knew he had to make a great movie to please his fans,
and despite what people on the net may say, JEDI did pretty good, making 
more than EMPIRE at the box office.  
	For a better understanding of Lucas role (a major one) in all three
SW movies, as well as the importance (to him) of JEDi, I suggest you read
SKYWALKING.  
	One last note, according to SKYWALKING, Lucas always intended to 
title the third movie RETURN OF THE JEDI.  The reason for using REVENGE was
to avoid giving away the story (Return of the Jedi as in the Jedi Anakin
Skywalker, or the return of the Jedi, as in the Jedi as a force led by
Luke and his future student Leia??---Now there's something to debate!!).
This is why he waited until the last minute to change the title, at a cost
of thousands of dollars.

I, also in first grade at the time, had heard it was an acid pit.  I also would

One of the books is called "Han Solo at Star's End", and there are two
others, that have since been released into a single edition, featuring all
three novels in one.

Overall, I was not impressed with these ones, kinda boring.... Star's End
was probably the better of the three (which is probably why I remember that
one) .... I perfer the Zahn stuff to them tho'

Also, avoid the "Lando Calrissian" series by Neil G. Smith (I think), as
these things are rotten...kinda explains why they never went to far....

	The Star Wars Holiday Special was televised in November 1978 (or was it
'79?).  After that Lucas made damn sure that it was never aired again.  
Basically, it sucked.  Some info:

	Running time with commercials was 2 hours.

	It had guest appearances by Art Carney, Harvey Corman, Bea Arthur,
Diane Caroll(sp?), and the Jefferson Starship.

	C3PO, R2D2, Chewbacca, Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher
(she sings at the end!) all have bit parts.

	The story revolves around Chewbacca's attempt to get home to his 
family (wife:  Molla, son:  Lumpy, and father:  Itchy) in time for Life Day.

	The best part is a short animated sequence in which we get our first
glimpse of Boba Fett.

	Anyway, there is no legal video release of this film.  Your only hope
is to obtain a bootlegged copy.  These are usually widespread at Sci-Fi 
conventions.  Your local comic book store may also be able to order you a
copy.  If none of that works, contact the company STAR TECH. The address:

Star Tech
PO Box 456
Dunlap, TN 37327

I am postive that they have copies of this although it may be expensive.  I
am not affliated with this company in any way, nor have I ever ordered from
them, so I don't know their reputation.  Hope this helps.

As a comic reader, I had just gotten a magazine called Wizard which says

This new set is suppose to have never before seen scenes and new art as
well, including all 3 movies!!!  If you think that I am excited by this

Did Lucas direct _Raiders ..._? I believe his involvement with _TESB_
and _ROTJ_ was limited to executive producer; he certainly did not
direct or write the story for either one (except in the limited sense
that some of the concepts for _ROTJ_ appear in the initial drafts of
_SW_).

Maybe now he's the director for a project he really enjoys; this is 
probably more fun than being the executive producer for the sequels
to a movie which really burned him out.

How about "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi. You're (our?) only hope."

Lightsaber activation/deactivation sounds.

Anything/Everything that R2D2 says.

Anything/Everything Chewbacca says.

"What a wonderful new smell you've discovered!"

Blaster fire.

"The force will be with you....always"

The Falcon's hyperdrive activating.

The Falcon's hyperdrive failing.

Well, while you're at it. Why don't you just do the entire trilogy and make
everyone happy!  :):)
