 Sorry about that message. I don't know what happened, its like whole words
 just didn't show up. They may not be designed for atmospheric flight but
 that doesn't mean that they can't operate well in one. Theres no proff that
 they can't operate well in an atmosphere, but there IS proff of them
peratin
 in one. In all the movies you see starfighters and shuttles flying in
 atmosphere but in NO movie does it show them struggling or any suggestion
 that they can't. Theres proff in the movies to back up what im saying but
 the only thing you have to back you up is the word Starfighter.

Write your reply.

assistant: <\/\/> Quoting John Snyder to All <\/\/>
 Maybe.  I forget the exact words, but in ANH, before Han turns to say
 he's been all over the galaxy and has never seen anything that would
 make him believe in an all encompassing force, Ben is telling Luke
 that it flows through everything.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but he
 says nothing about /living/ things.  So maybe it is available to
 droids as well, if they can understand the force.  In tales of the
 bounty hunters, (again, not canon), 4-LOM learns intuition and
 decides to learn the force...

Hello Fredrik!
Aha. So that's you. :) Well, I guess you got convinced that JEJ is indeed
doing the voice for all the movies, didn't you? Strange, though, that he
doesn't do the voice in TESB:SE saying ''Bring my shuttle'', or whatever it
was. Instead it's a poor imitation of his voice. Was it so difficult getting
JEJ to voice over that line? BTW, JEJ is now credited in ANH:SE, but still
not in TESB:SE. I wonder why...
Nope, there was no such thing for this movie. I went on the ''pressvisning''
in Rigoletto 1, a theatre which holds 1100 seats, at 10.00 AM.  I sat on line
4, which is very close to the HUGE screen in Rigoletto 1. It was a remarkable
experience. BTW, I saw it again in Filmstaden S�der 2, a THX theatre, last
saturday. Have you seen ROTJ:SE yet?

about THX 1138?:
Hello Phillip!
I agree those scenes were unnecessary. I don't think the Wampa seemed anymore
scary than before, he rather looked more hungry and gluttonous. :)
Yes, it sure did. It was nice to see the whole of Bespin reacting to Lando's
'The Empire has take over the city'.
Yes, that was strange. How come they couldn't get James Earl Jones to voice
over that line? It was ridiculous hearing that poor imitation of his voice.
Hmmm... Was the rest of the movie dubbed or just this scene? First of all I
really hate dubbed movies, but if the rest of the movie was in the original
language, and just that line in German, I would really have felt ashamed on
Lucas's behalf. So what was it? The whole movie or just that line?
Yes, it really was. However, I liked ROTJ:SE more. Especially I LOVED the new
end music that replaced the rather childish Ewok Celebration. It was so
powerful and great! Seeing Coruscant was pretty interesting, too.
I will probably see the whole Trilogy once more in one day, each movie
directly after the other. I hope the cinemas are showing all the films next
week too.

They are about 5 inches long encased in a wrapping which has a different
character on the front eg Storm trooper, emperor, cp30, r2d2,yoda, darth,
luke etc.
When you open them it has a sticker about a bit larger than those tazos.
My cp30 one has a star destroyer sticker.
Also does anyone collect the tazos out of thins eg the 3D ones etc?
