	To whoever responded to my last post with the statement "that's
was I thought this net was for" or something like that, let's get the
facts straight.
	I have no problem with the discussions about the new movies.  What
bothers me is that people keep coming out with posts stating that Lucas has 
said he won't make anymore movies.  That's bull.  Lucas himself, in his
own fan club magazine has said he WILL make them.  The point I was trying to
make is that it's time we took the discussion beyond whether or not he's going
to make them, or which ones he's making first because we already know.  As
I've posted time and time again LUCAS (not some source) has said he will
make episodes 1-3 and release them between 1995-2000.  
	Now that we know that, we should move on to what we think they will 
cover.  We know they'll cover the young adventures of Anakin and Obi-Wan, but
what does that involve?  The Clone Wars?  These are legitamite questions--there
is no answer to them as yet--unlike the above over-asked questions whose
answers have been know since October (When LFL FanClub MAg #17 came out).
	Maybe someone should post the article on the ftp site.  I won't as I 
don't have the time.  But maybe if people could read it themselves they'd 
believe.  This mag is created by Lucasfilm itself, thus I'd trust it more
that any other in regards to Lucasfilm projects.  The article also comments on 
Cinemafasteque (sp?) article that says Lucas gave up on Star Wars--Lucas
mentions it and says that its taken out of context.  He said he was tired of
Star Wars when he finished JEDI, but the SPFX and his creative fires are now
ready to tell the beginning of his story.

There are also several reasons for NOT doing things in this manner.  For 
starters, they are on the Falcon, which is Han Solo's ship, and there is no
way he is going to abandon it under _any_ circumstances.  Furthermore, the
Falcon is the ONLY way that Leia is going to get to Yavin, because if Han
lets her off, then he has no way of knowing where the rebel base is, and,
more importantly, no way of getting paid (remember, he's in it for the
reward).  

Also, the rebels almost HAVE TO let the Death Star approach Yavin.  If
they don't, then the Death Star will go off to where the rebels can't find
it and will start blowing up any rebelious planets (e.g. Alderaan), then
moving away to the next planet.  The rebels will not be able to find it,
so they won't be able to stop it, and the Death Star _will_ have become the
ultimate power in the universe (aside from the Force, of course).  For 
the rebels to triumph over the Empire, they have to destroy the Death Star,
and that means letting it come to them.

Just my opinions.

On the Amiga side, it apparently needs the AGA chipset.  I don't know if it
will run on the A1200 (68EC020-based), or just the A4000
(68040-based).  I'd assume, with the 68EC020 being roughly comparable to the
i386SX, that it will run on both.

And you won't even need a sound card--stereo samples come right from the
Amiga's built-in sound chip.

Of course, I could be wrong (about the game, not the Amiga)....

Leia doesn't appear to realize that the Falcon is being tracked until after
Han nas made the jump to light speed.  By then, presumably, the homing beacon
had already transmitted the coordinates of Yavin back to the Death Star.
Changing destinations in mid-journey would therefore have done no good.

You only had to wait a year?!? That isn't too unreasonable. Remember that
we had to wait about 3 years between ANH and ESB, and another three years
between ESB and ROTJ, plus God knows how long before the next trilogy. I
would rather wait a little bit longer and get a better written, and more
polished book, than a rushed book of lesser quality. Besides, it could be
worse!!! Thomas Harris (who wrote _Silence of the Lambs_-a verrry good
read even if you've seen the movie) spends an average of 7 years writing
each of his books!!!!

Just to add my 2 cents since I did take economics, even if the number
of penis cards available was the same as the number of the other two-
star cards, the prices would not be the same.  Economics follows the
law of supply, which the original poster pointed out, but it also 
follows the law of demand (i.e. if the demand for the penis card is 
larger than the demand for the other two-star cards, it's price will
be higher).

Script error?  Uh-uh.  When I first noticed this connection I appreciated it as
a wonderful little detail of how Lucas brought the Star Wars story full circle.
I thought it was just great how C3PO's adventures had helped him to grow to a
point where he could overcome his poor self-image in that respect.  Ok, so he
IS a droid.  But he is also a fully developed character thanks to wonderful
little touches like this.

It's on my LBX Disc.  I just checked.  Maybe it's a new pressing.  It's
copyright 1992. 

Now the big question.  Why do the discs still cost more than $60 each? 
I got the first two in a promotional offer.  I would never have been 
able to afford them.  I've seen the Jedi tape for under $20 and discs
sell for less than $25, so material isn't the cost.  What's up?  Why
screw laserdisc oweners?  I'd buy it if it was around $30.  I'd guess
that they'd make more than twice the sales by cutting the price in 
half.  Mr. Lucas didn't want an video release originally because of
the butchering in pan & scan, but he gave in.  You'd think he'd want
to encourage disc sales, since he seems to be a purist.  If he even
has any input, that is...
