A while ago, Marshall Vale (mjv@brownvm.brown.edu) posted that Topps
was going to release a new Star Wars card set featuring old poster art
and new character painting by Joe Jusko.

Well, I went down to the local comics shop (which now of course sells
cards, too, since comic cards are all the rage) and they had never heard
of such an animal. "Joe Jusko? Oh, you must mean Marvel Universe or
Marvel Masterpieces!"

Anyway, has anyone else tried to pre-order these cards? Where can I
order them from? Any more recent information? Anything!

	It's been a couple weeks since anyone posted anything about the
Classic Star Wars comic book series, the first of which came out in late
Aug/early Sept.  Anyway, I picked up a copy yesterday and read it.
	I was impressed.  The art was OK, and it certainly wasn't marred 
by any of the bizarre plots and unlikely characterizations of The Dark 
Empire (and best of all, no E-Wings!!!).  
	For those of you that missed the earlier posts, Classic Star Wars
takes place between ANH and TESB.  It concerns the search for a new rebel base
and the encounter on Ord Mantell that Han refers to on Hoth during TESB.
The imperial scout walkers look pretty wierd, but that's OK because there
may be more versions than what we saw in the movies.
	Has anyone else read this comic book?  What do you think?

Distribution: usa

In my ROTJ era poster of the Millenium Falcon escaping a buttload of TIE
fighters and DSII in the background, there is another similar octagonal
TIE fighter (like Vader's in ANH) in the poster, I don't recall if it's in
the actual movie though...

I was always under the assumption that since the octagonal TIE fighters look
'slicker' than the standard box-shaped TIE, that they were for higher
ranking officers and various Lords of the Sith...

Of course, I could be wrong, but that rarely happens  :P

Also, someone mentioned posting a synopsis of that Lucas interview that comes
out next week, but aren't there people who would kindly post *the whole
thing* for us unfortunate non-Fan Club members?  Or post it to wpi.wpi.edu
(Thanks Scott, now if I can figure out how to convert the files for VMS...)

May the Force be with you, always...

I worked in a home electronics store all summer that had a laser disk
of Star Wars. As a result I've seen it so many times I can make the
following observation which could possibly make its way onto the FAQ...

In the battle over the death star, close observation (or repeated
viewings in my case) will show that Red Leader's microphone--the
one that is attached to his helmet--magically switches from one side
to the other from scene to scene. I'm not sure if any of the other
rebel pilots have this same editing error, but Red Leader definately
does.

I think that you're going to ahve to wait until 1995, when the 12 books
they have just liscensed have all come out.  That will keep new hype
coming, and they won't have to compete with themselves by bringing out
the movie and books at the same time.

My opinion: DO NOT CONVERT THOSE GIFS TO JPGS! Reasons why this
shouldn't be done:

1. JPG is a 'lossy' standard; It compresses pictures by leaving some
pixels & colors out of picture. If you compare a normal GIF to JPG,
you'll notice the difference.
2. JPG viewers are much rarer than GIF viewers. I think that GIF
viewers exist on almost every computer but I'm not sure how many
computers got JPG viewers.
3. JPG will cause lots of questions. Most people know how to view GIFs
but not that many know how to view JPGs.

Thanks to Scott from me too! Great work! And if you decide to convert
those GIFs to JPGs anyway, please wait some time and do it then. This
way we would have time to get those GIFs before they became JPGs... If
you do it, do it on week 42 or so :-)

I have been reading several posts concerning sounds from the trilogy on the 
Macinstosh.  As it just so happens, when I first got my Mac LC, I made it my
controlling purpose in life to record any cool sounds or lines from Star Wars.
So far I have filled 15 800K disks with cool sound f/x and dialogue.  And
I'm not even finished sampling from ANH yet, I have yet to begin work on
Empire and Jedi.  If someone could give me instructions on how to get the
things onto the ftp, I would be happy to oblige.  I really don't have a clue
how to use ftp, so any help would be appreciated.  If there is interest, I will
type up a complete catalog of what I have so far.  As soon as I get access to a
VCR, I will finish the whole project.  I want to get the entire trilogy
sampled, with Tie fighter sounds, Vader-breath, blaster fire, dialogue,
and all.  So far I have most of the killer lines of dialogue from ANH.  Two 
full disks are filled with R2D2 beeps.  Two more have 3PO's dialogue, and all
the other main characters have one or two disks devoted to them.  I also
recorded random stormtrooper dialogue, if you want some menacing voice saying
things like, "set for stun," and "I can't hit the broad side of a Star 
Destroyer with this helmet on."  (From the original, uncut version. ;)
I've also got a few good sound effects, lightsaber on & off, and others.
But I've been holding back on these because the quality of the sound effects
improved dramatically in the next two mThere's a lot I haven't 
sampled yet, this is still a work in progress.  But I'd be happy to post 
what I have, once I know how.

I also was impressed by the quality and depth of the show.  Very much a
television stand out.  It seemed obvious to me that a lot more money was
being spent on this show than normal tv...it seemed more like a
mini-film.

However, I was wondering just what audience they are trying to target.
The intensity of the battle scenes on this weeks show were enough to
make me very uncomfortable....and I believe that was the intent--to
show how hellish war is.  But if they are aiming for a fairly young, say
teenage audience (which they seem to be with their young star) then I
would think the violence was very strong for an 8 p.m. time slot?

First of all, I'm not sure I'd call it the first space fantasy.  
Granted, I can't name an earlier one, but someone I think there
must have been one or two.

(I could be very wrong, though.)

Also, if memory serves, SW was the first movie to extensively make
use of computer controlled cameras, allowing the camera to make 
identical moves over and over.  The clip to show for this is the
Death Star trench sequence.  It could be shot with counless exposures
being completely identical.

That octagonal wing TIE in the background of your poster is probably an
TIE bomber. It has the same wing design as Vader's first TIE, but has a
second fusalage that contains a paylaod of bombs. There is only one
scene in the movies that I can recall them appearing in, and it is the
one where the empire is trying to flush out the Falcon while it's hiding
on the asteroid in ESB. The Two TIE's that are dropping the bombs are
TIE bombers.

-I'm into the ship designs of Star Wars, if you didn't guess....
