You will have probably gotten a reply to this by now, but here is
another one.  When the game first came out he was interviewed on CNN
about it.  They showed him sitting there at a computer, holding a
FlightStrick Pro with one hand while talking and playing the game.  When
asked what the main story of the game was, he replied, "You play Han
Solo in his younger years out to destroy Darth Vader once and for all."
The next day I come on here to download my mail packet and it seemed
that everyone saw it and was shocked (or whatever other word could fit

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Malte.
:-)
Good point.  I have just checked; this line was already in the script in
the original _The Art of Star Wars_ book (1st edition, 1979 -- how's THAT
for bragging? ;-) ), so there's a pretty good chance that this was
actually in the shooting script, ie. is what Lucas meant.
That settles it, at least for me.
Uhm, sorry, no.  When they were shooting the scene, Lucas had no idea what
Jabba was going to look like; he even put the big guy into a fuzzy suit
because he 'had the feeling that Jabba would be a hairy creature, too.'
(I think he says so on the _Making Magic_ CD-ROM.)
That's what I think.  Not everything from the script ends up on screen as
it was written, and hardly anyone bothers to change the script afterwards
to fit the movie.  It's amazing enough that for the THX edition script,
they actually cut out the unused stuff (Jabba, Biggs).
May the Force be with you,
                          Oliver.

I though the part where they parody "Planet of the Apes", was good also.
1st Ape: "What's that coming out of her nose?"
2nd Ape: "Spaceballs!!!"
1st Ape: "Oh ****...there goes the planet."
Or the scene when Dark Helmut got the combination to the air shield. And
the scene where a family reunion took place, if you know what I mean. I
guess "Spaceballs" was the best parody of Star Wars (and other sci-fi
movies) around. Even though "Hardware Wars" was the first to parody Star
Wars.

assistant: Who here thinks if it's a good idea for Lucasfilm to make a Star Wars TV
series. Like, making "Dark Forces" into a weekly TV series. Kyle Katarn
before the game (his early years?), episodes every week by making a mission
or something run through 3 or more eps, instead of finish a mission each ep,
just to entice the viewer and keep them interested on what's going to
happen next week. Also, have Bruce Campbell play some cocky informant on
certain episodes (Bruce Campbell is also one of my favorite actors [other
than one of John Snyder's], and he is good at being cocky). This would get
Lucasfilm doing more than just movies or games (Lucasarts), this would bring
them to a new medium of entertainment (even though they were on TV before
ith
a cartoon series based on Star Wars). And it will fill in the Star Wars lulls
(other than the books and videos). Just something I was thinking about.
That's all from me!!!
