   I've often fantasized about seeing Star Wars adapted for a stage play. I
have ideas of my own as to what it would look like, but how would someone
handle bringing the same unique set design, costuming, action etc. into a
stage production? It probably would never work but it's interesting to think
about anyway. I'd like to hear your ideas of what Star Wars the stage show
would look like.

(The question was 'Which is your favorite Star Wars movie and why?'.)

Since I list it as my favorite movie *regardless* of genre, I have to
respond that the original "Star Wars" the best of the trilogy. 
My response is at a gut level: I was very young (10yrs) when I saw ANH
and it affected the way I viewed movies, books, and comics for the next
fourteen-or-so years (to the present, actually).  [Bizarre side note:
When I think of my life as a timeline, I tend to place events as being
either BSW (Before Star Wars) or ASW (After Star Wars) in the same way
that we label years as BC or AD!]  A large part of my time I spent
playing with SW toys, thinking up stories about Vader and Luke, 
collecting comic books and movie ads, and in general being a real
Star Wars/sci-fi geek.  (Huh, I still am. :-)  

I won't even *attempt* to explain why ANH is, IMHO, the best of the three.
Plenty of other people have argued that the acting, dialogue, plot,
special effects, etc, etc. were better in this one or that one.  
For me, it's more a matter of what was ingrained in my mind the first
(and second and third!) time I saw ANH.  Every time I pop ANH into
the VCR, I try to sit back and watch the movie, trying to pretend that
I've never seen it before, letting the story unfold in the grand and
adventurous way that it does, listening to the music, being awed
by the special effects, being scared shitless when Luke gets grabbed
by the trash compactor monster, wondering if Vader is a human or robot,
and on, and on... 

When I watch ANH, I'm a ten year old kid in a dark movie theatre,
watching the most exciting movie of my life.  Never mind what the
sequel is like four years later.  Never mind that the special effects
aren't state of the art!  Don't worry if Ben's light saber isn't colored 
in every damned frame!  I watch and enjoy the movie.  

  -whew- 

Drivel mode off.  Having said all that, I should add a postscript: 
I DO enjoy the technical/analytical/hypothetical discussions on r.a.sf.sw!
But when it comes to listing the requirements of what makes one movie
better than another, for me, it's almost completely impossible. 
I just gotta go on instinct. (Or maybe it's just Obi-Wan, frapping me
with some Force ray!)

  C3PO and R2D2 are "obsolete" models, fairly old.  Luke's Uncle Owen (Bens
brother in the story treatment for episode III) stated that both were old
models and at first didn't want the R2 unit but need a translator droid,
therefore needed C3PO.

  R2 and C3PO in the first three episodes are property of Captain Antilles,
whoin Episode III will give them to Ben who in turn gives them to Lady
Skywalker to watch out for Leia.

NOTE: Just in case you didn't realize Capt. Antilles is Wedges dad.  The reason
why Wedge survived all the battle with Luke is he will play an important role
in the final three films.

Pick one...

(1) Threepio was lying to Luke to maintain secrecy.
(2) Threepio bumped his head when the escape pop landed on Tatooine. :-)
(3) The screenwriter goofed.

I pick #3, myself.

	The Intergalactic Passport was just that.  It looked similar to a US

paste into the pages.  Included were such tourist delights as:
		Passage to an Imperial Star Destroyer
		Dagobah
		Besbin
		secret Rebel base
		Tattoine (Mos Eisley)
		And a bunch of others

It was a neat novelty type item...might be worth something (I have one, but have
never seen one since), but it's just that a novelty and real exciting.

BTW, any new goss on Lucasfilm's X-wing game, due out at the end of

According to the little blurb on the print, Luke and Vader were to have
a battle aboard the Blocakde Runner. Remember, these are PRODUCTION
paintings. Lucas changed his mind at the last minute. There were a LOT
of changes between the paintings and the final story.

What was the first figure everyone got?

I got Leia at K-Mart in late 1979 (I thought the movie had first come out then
at the time!). I was gonna get Luke too, but didn't quite have the $$$.

Later, I went to a mall and they had Han Solo -- unreal, since I had never
seen his figure before.

I distinctly remember the plastic caped jawas. Too bad they went with the
hoods -- you took the hood off and it had another hood! :)

I desperately need the blaster the Leia figure came with !!!
Does anyone have one? ( I could trade you *any* other weapon... except
I only have one bowcaster. Sorry! :))

Are there any northeastern souls who would help someone in a galaxy far,

A few months back I responded to an ad in STarlog magazine about sub-
scribing to Dark Empire comics.  So I sent my money order for $20.20
U.S. and subsequently received nothing (sent away May 9th).  I then
put a trace on the money order, and was sent a photocopy of the
depositied money order.  So, my question is, Where the hell are my comics?
Also, Has anyone else responded to this ad, and did they get their stuff?
Anyway, I sent off a flaming letter today to either get my comics, or my
money back (maybe both ... Not!).  I was also wondering, in case this 
doesn't work, does anyone have a phone number for Dark Horse?  Thanks
and sorry for the rambling.

Ok, next topic.  Anybody out there think that the next Zahn book, the 
3rd one will cheat us?  I mean the end of the 2nd book sets us up for
one hell of a conflict, but can it be adequately resolved by Zahn in 
one book?  I mean, I have nothing personal against his writing, but
how can he adequately complete the series in one book?  I think one 
of three things.

(1) The next book will cheat us, the legions of SW fans.

(2) The next book will be adequate in finishing the story but tres long.

(3) He will write another cycle of SW books.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

The general consensus is that he was protecting Leia's identity from
Luke, whom he didn't know.  With the radio drama, i can believe that,
as he was programmed to lie if it meant that was the only way he could
carry out his mission.

What I think, though is simply that he knew of the Princess, and her
exploits, but that he didn't know what she looked like, and thus 
didn't know that was her.

I always figured that her father told her where Kenobi was, and that
its was something he kept secret from everyone else.

Reading the Zahn novels brought up another question about Kenobi
hiding on Tatoonie; how did he keep himself hidden from the Emperor?
Yoda had that Dark Side Tree-thing cancelling out his presence so
would that mean that somewhere near Kenobi's house on Tatoonie there's
something similar?  Or was Kenobi just not a powerful enough presence
in the Force to be detected at long ranges (after all, Vader didn't
sense him until they got on the Death Star)?  Or was Tatoonie just
farther from the center of the galaxy than Dagobah was?

Perhaps the radio version can clear this up. Before the beginning of ANH,
the rebels stole the death star plans. To get the plans, Lea and Co. had
to make a stop in a restricted system. In order to put off the imperials,
they had R2 and C3PO programmed to follow any orders the princess gave them
and she (and antilles) told the droids to lie and act like they were repairing
the ship, so that the imperial scans would detect them doing the work and
give the Tantilus an excuse for its presence. Antilles also ordered the
droids not to admit to anyone that they knew of the princess.

C3PO may have just been following orders and hiding the P's identity from
luke.
