Well, I suppose there's the old Monty Python sketch concerning a man who 
pays for an argument and end's up in a room where he's learning to yell 
in pain, but other than that, I don't know. =)

	It's really dark in space. And the human eye in a really dark
place sees better in black and white, not color. Perhaps this is what
they were trying to emulate? Just an idea...

   I've NEVER seen a Wedge action figure. Only thing close is Luke as an
   X-wing pilot.

   Any place that sells movies I suppose. Last place I saw them was Best

  Which script did you read? I have read the "shooting" script, and it of
  course had Lando alive. Maybe an earlier one, with the title "Revenge ...
  had the death of Lando in it.


Well, that's all from me. Hopefully I am not too wrong on these......

I believe that Burger King distributed these same posters.  I think

Funny you should bring this up now, because it just so happens that last
week at the local flea market, a toy dealer got in a whole box of mint ones 
at the outrageous price of $2.50 a set.  

Worth?  Well, I would say a little more than $2.50, but that's the nature
of collecting.

I played it at the Consumer Electronics Show 2 weekends ago.
They said it will come out in the Fall.
I didn't play that much but I'll tell you what I remember.

The graphics were VERY detailed. I started off in a rebel hanger on 
Tatooine. In the hanger were T-16's and one of them takes off, the one
that you are in.  You then exit the hanger and chase some ships through 
Beggar's Canyon.  It's very fast and I have to admit that I had no clue
what I was doing.
There were a lot of scenes taken straight from the film like Vader etc.
There was a shot of a rebel pilot in his A-wing talking and I also
remember a really cool sequence with ships coming out of hyperspace.

You have a long wait so I would forget about it for now.

He did NOT star in the "Guns of Navarone."  He starred in the sequel (which I   think was made for TV, but I'm not positive) called, I believe, "the Return of  the Men From Navarone".  The original "Guns of Navarone" starred Gregory Peck,  David Niven, and Anthony Quinn, none of whom returned for the sequel.

Question: is the Captain Antilles referred to by Threepio in SW (after he
leaves the lube bath at Luke's place) related to Wedge Antilles?  (That is
his last name, isn't it?)  I'm assuming it's not Wedge, 'cos one would
think that the droids' last owner was killed/captured when the "diplomatic"
ship was captured (damn--forgot its name) at the beginning of SW.

Also, who does Leia think her father is?  She mentions him in the hologram
in the first movie, but we all know now it's really Darth Vader...  (The
gist of the quote was something like "Obi-Wan, you helped my father in the
Clone Wars.  Now he needs your help on Alderaan...")  Was she adopted? 
(Luke knows his "parents" are reall Aunt and Uncle...)

Now back to our regularly scheduled subject...

Although I have not read anything outside of the net regarding
why the x-wings expand to an x, I can offer a very reasonable
suggestion. It makes the virtual size of the shot fired the same
as the box created by the four corners of the wings. A TIE fighter,
or any other thing for that matter that was anywhere within the
box, would very likely get hit. It is the same sort of thing like 
the large antenna arrays used for tracking deep space probes: with
antennas all around the Earth, the "size" is about that of the 
Earth, at least for certain things.

Travis, my own personal experiences show that two days of camp-time is all
that is needed to get really good seats. :-)  If you have a friend that can
guard your spot real good during bathroom/Burger King breaks then
4 hours will sometimes suffice.

Does anybody know about the original SnagleTooth action figure?  I am
talking about the one that is blue and is the same size as a regular
size figure not the small red one.  I know that most toys are worth more
with the original package but I was looking at price guide of SW action
figures and next to the Price of this figure was a note saying that it
was worth $60 without the Original carton because it NEVER HAD an
original carton.  Is this true?
