Ummm, hold on!  I think she's 15 and not 14, that is if the recent
interview on Linehan is really recent and not a rerun from a year ago
or something.  Yeah, she apparently turned down doing Romeo and Juliet
with DiCaprio and the remake of Lolita.
Missed that one.  Not exactly one of my favorite movies to go see
and so I never did.  Any other news on the new SW movies?

So it was actually not that farfetched.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi there.
I recently had the fortune to see all three Special Editions for one last
time -- or so I'm afraid -- in the cinema, back-to-back this time, ending
at 6 am ...
Anyway, I'm not writing this to brag, I just want to talk about Han's
infamous 'did the Kessel run in less then 12 parsecs' line.  While Lucas
has said it was meant to show that Han didn't really know what he was
talking about, everybody seems to prefer to believe that Lucas just didn't
know what a parsec was.
But I thought I had seen something when I watched ANH on video the last
time, and so when I saw it in the cinema last weekend, I paid close
attention to Ben's face after Han says that line and he (Ben, that is)
definitely -- although subtly -- makes a 'aw, c'mon, how stupid do you
think I am' face.
  Go check for yourself, you CAN see this in the video, but on the big
screen it is perfectly obvious if you look for it.
So obviously at least Sir Alec knew what a parsec was, most probably
because the line was written to say exactly what Lucas said it did.
Just my two cents.
May the Force be with you,
                          Oliver.

So, now you can watch the adventures of Fluke S....I can't remember what
the last name was (that's not the last name, I really did forget), Ham
Salad, and Princess Anne-Droid. The video is said to cost less than $10 (I
guess the movie was made with a $2 budget). This is for those of you who
would like to see it. I would like to see it again (for the hell of it).
Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm a Star Wars fan, but to see a parody of the
movie isn't bad, I think it pays homage. But I did say, I *THINK* it does.
Hey, it happened to Lethal Weapon, and that is a good movie (for those who
like it).

question I am SURE you guys can answer. (From what i have seen you know
all about these movies) Okay I bought a Origanal Star Wars Pamplet from
1977 for 8 bucks at a garage sale. Apparantly they handed them out at
some of the grand openings, also I have a sheet of Translations from the
movie Dune when it was in theaters. Well since I was not on this rock
when these movies where out I was wondering if anyone has heard or seen
this before? The book from starwars is NICE for being handed out in
movie theaters, color pictures and whole lot of info on the charactors
and actors... About 20 pages long and is a rectangle in shape... Well I
was wondering also if I found a good deal, perhaps someone out there
knows the worth...
Well may the force be with you.

 I always just thought that the word "parsec" could mean something totally
 different in the SW universe than it does to us.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Matt.
Have you read _Skywalking,_ his 1983 biography?  There was pages and pages
of Lucas saying how important it is for him to keep control over EVERY-
THING concerning his universe, including merchandising rights (which then
mostly extented to Kenner's toys and even THAT was considered pretty
outlandish.)
  Admittedly, today Lucas's "empire" is somewhat larger and there are the
craziest ideas for merchandise (I recently saw a universal remote control
designed like Luke's ROTJ lightsabre ...) and people buy them.  I might,
as far as the remote control is concerned. ;-)
Still, when he showed that he didn't even care what DF was about, he
contradicted almost everything he said earlier, things which had earned
him my deepest respect.  And his apparent current 'hey, let's just throw
in everything people might like' approach to the prequels doesn't sound
very 'inspired' either, I'm afraid.
Of course, there is now way I'm not going to see all three prequels. :-)
