The medical room scene after Luke gets rescued(Leia to Han): 
reply:" Whos scruffy looking?!?!?"

About a previous post: The person mentioned there are many stormtrooper
costumes being made. My fiancee's brother works for Universal as a set
designer in Hollwood, and if you believe anything that comes out of 
that town, there is this bridge...*ahem* well, thats another story...
Anyways... I heard that same rumor. This version said that the materials
that the costumes were made of were not meant to last, so the ones
used for ROTJ could not be used. Does this mean that they need some now?

   On another topic... Does ANYONE have any contact with Lucasfilms, such
as the lucasfilms newsletter for the fan club? We need to quell the 
rumors abounding on this group. Of the first 65 articles on my site,
more than half were about the question of how many chapters there are in
the trilogy. If anyone has any RELIABLE new information, I think there would be many interested readers.

It was a piece shown in a TV special about what was on the cutting room floor.
It was released right after RotJ came out to show how ideas had changed.
 
Anyone still have the blueprint that published with the films that were sold
in bookstores?

That sound right :-)...I don't know if speed is totally constant,
though..."she'll make .5 beyond lightspeed.  She doesn't look like much, but
she's got it where it counts, kid."  Perhaps the extra speed, beyond LS,
enables one to travel through a part of realspace in even less hyperspace?

Important to discuss?  I don't know how one would rate topics all pertaining
to a movie series as more or less important relative to each other...

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy of
the original Star Wars computer game for the IBM pc

i just love that game but cant stand to pump quarters into the
machines. I think Star Wars was one of the best 3-d simulation
games at its time.

please post a source where i can possibly ftp the game
thanks!!!!!

Yeah, many people I talk to who like Star Wars say that they liked it 
because unlike the sf stuff they were seeing SW was very believable,
and it's true... Imagine seeing Buck Rogers after seeing Star Wars...

Yes yes yes!!! I distinctly remember this from my 4th or 5th time seeing the
movie way back when ('80 or so?). I thought it was funny.  And then I never
noticed that it was missing until one of the last times I saw the film.
A lot of the people I watch SW with now don't remember it.
Now, I'm not that old (22) but a lot of these same people saw Empire first, and
then SW because they were pretty young when SW came out.  I was 8 or so.
I wonder when they cut that part out? ("Close the blast door...Open the blast
door")  I remember it being really funny 'cause it made stormtroopers look so
dumb...

This type of thread has been most amusing on rec.games.frp, so I figured
why not get it started here, too?

What I mean is, what has been the funniest thing to happen to your
characters playing SW:RPG?

To get things started:

Our group, consisting of a minor Jedi, a bounty hunter, an outlaw, and
a Wookiee, crew a heavily modified Mon Calamari light freighter, the 
_Stellar_Pegasus_.  At one point, we were on Karideph (from the Tramp
Freighters campaign) and were looking to buy an ion cannon for the ship.
We found one from a local black market connection, but he lost it to a
gambler calling himself "L. Cibinak."  We went after the guy -- he stole
it after we paid for it -- and tracked him to a particularly nasty section
of the city.  We lost him so we decided to split up.  Bad idea.  After
walking for a while, my character, the minor Jedi, came upon two guys
who told him to throw down his gun.  Then they tried to mug him, at
which point the Jedi drew his lightsaber and cut down the first mugger.
Unfortunately, the second mugger had a heavy blaster pistol.  Minor Jedi
goes down quite quickly, getting off a stifled cry of "Wookiee!" before
he goes out, mortally wounded.  When the Wookiee found him, he was is such
bad shape that the Wookiee had to spend a Force Point just to get a medpac
to work.

When the minor Jedi woke up, he was in a bacta tank the rest of the group
had to buy for him to recover.  And his lightsaber was gone...

Anybody else have similar experiences?

Quoting, summarizing from _The Star Wars Sourcebook_ by West End Games:

"far different from the motley breed of space varmin and rogue machines that
generally sell their services to the highest bidder"...."brilliant skills and
single-minded pursuit of targets"..."respected by his colleagues and feared
throughout the Empire by civilians and enforcement alike"...

"wears a weapon-covered, armored spacesuit similar to those favored by a group
of warriors from the Mandalore system defeated by the Jedi Nights in the Clone
Wars"..."unknown if he was a member of that group"..."single deadliest *man* in
the galaxy - outside of the emperor of course"..."armor is old and outdated yet
astounding"..."helmet contains a macrobinocular viewplate, infrared scope,
miniture sensor array system, microcomputer connecting the devices"..."armor is
as protective as that of stormtroopers, loaded with built-in devices and
weapons"..."Fett only uses them in combat:  wrist lasers capable of slitting
through armor, rocket darts loaded with poisons or paralysis drugs,
turbo-projected grappling hook, flame projector, concussion-grenade
launcher".."je pack with limited flight capabilities, numerous pockets,
pouches, compartments containing tools, weapons, other stuff"

"the crime lord from Tatooine, Jabba the Hutt, has Fett on retainer"..."Fett
has worked as a mercenary, soldier, personal guard, assasin"..."walking
arsenal"..."well-versed in side-arms, carries a sawed-off BlasTech EE-3 blaster
rifle with mounted scope"

"roams the galaxy in three-man starship Slave I, loaded with deadly hidden
devices"..."basically all engine, built for speed and stealth (Slave I that
is), small crew and command compartment resting on top"..."two blasters and
many secret weaons"..."inside is a prison"...

"Fett doesn't have a personality"..."no emotions"..."In fact, some men believe
him to be a Droid, though no one known has the skill to build such a machine -
Fett eats assasin Droids for breakfast"

"Bobba Fett is a hunter and killer without equal"...

[there you go, everything you ever wanted to know about Boba Fett but were
afraid to ask, and really didn't care to know in the first place]

	I think it is, actualy heard thatsome of the first three had been
written, or at least brainstormed. The first on few would deal with Obi-wan
and Anakin, and Luke as a little boy. (for those that REALLY do know, 
it's interesting to see how much gets out on the grapevine, isn't it?)
