Star Wars I saw late in its run at the drive-in with my sister and parents, double featured with Shatner's "Kingdom of the Spiders" which scared me so much we left half way through. Empire I saw as part of a friends birthday party- someone said there was a traitor, so that made up our pre-movie playing. Jedi my sister and I saw opening day. We were sure it would sell out, so rode our bikes to the mall early to buy tickets, came home, then later went to the theater to find there was no line ![]()
Really enjoyed this one, wish i hadn't missed the live chat. I didn't think i could learn anything new about Star Wars but there was a ton. Rick James? David Fincher? Great enhancements too, the lovingly selected Carrie shots were appreciated.
For the Vader death thing: i always thought he didn't disappear, then Luke gave the body a respectful funeral (he was his father, and turned good at the end afterall), which "pleased the Force" or whatever, which in turn let him RIP and do the ghost thing.
I got a call from my sister a few months ago asking me to settle a dispute between my 8-y-o nephew and his friend about whether or not Vader was already dead when Luke burned him on the pyre.
Warmed my heart.
Pretty sure it warmed Vader's heart too. And his lungs, stomach, spine etc.....

Well, as we know from Robot Chicken he in fact wasn't dead yet, but his systems were rebooting ![]()
Jedi was the first movie I remember seeing in theaters as a kid. I remember it because my dad took me to see it and they showed an intro to the characters before the flick that I've never seen anywhere else again.
fun times!
Wonder why they thought that was needed. Now, I found it amusing when for Dune they handed out a sheet which defined all the new words that were in the movie...
I've heard that hand out mentioned before but i don't remember it. My google-fu is poor so if you ever come across a link please post.
"This movie is about a kid who falls in with a terrorist organization and blows up a government building."
Trey blew my fucking mind with this tidbit.
I can't take credit for that one myself - as I recall, I saw it as somebody's sig on theforce.net.
But yeah, it does make one realize the importance of perspective, don't it?
For years my brother's been drawing parallels between Osama Bind Laden and Obi Wan Kenobi. Both follow a crazy religion, hide out in the desert, and send young men off to fight against oppressive empires.
And yeah, both have 3 names!
One day they just disappeared and no one can ever find them again except their allies, and they're both screwing with people's minds to further their cause. Also, they both have bushy beards. And 6 syllables in their names. And David Icke swears they both shot JFK in red dresses during the faked moon landing funded by shape-shifting reptiles.
Also Lincoln.
P.S., Grand Moff Tarkin = 15 letters. *tap* *tap* Is this thing on?
