hmm... nteresting, it works fine in QT player, just something with itunes.  I have the latest version of itunes BTW...  apparently they had a new version released over the weekend.

Thanks for the link BTW.

As opposed to the brain bug from the end of Ordinary People.

Of course Lucas thinks ESB is the "worst" one. He's a control freak and it's the one he had the least control over.

Plinkett points it out very adeptly at the very end of his TPM review: when Lucas finally had absolute creative control and effectively unlimited funds and resources, he made the prequels. He wasn't struggling with a studio or forced to make any compromises. He made them that way on purpose.

It's shocking to everyone else, but the sad truth is: the prequels are what George Lucas thinks STAR WARS is supposed to be.

So if the prequels are what he's always wanted from STAR WARS, it's very little wonder that EMPIRE, being the exact opposite of the prequels in pretty much every facet, will strike George as being the "worst" of the bunch. It fails to accomplish what he thinks a STAR WARS movie should.

Which, of course, is exactly why it's great.

Also, I hate those Brain Bug cats. They're ugly and whoever first decided to selectively breed them that way is history's greatest monster.

Oh, I thought that was going to be about the cats. But the movie's cool too. I guess.

You mean like the Wachowskis?

I didn't know hamsters could get that big, and make tauntaun noises! So cute.

I never read that into it, but that could be why he ends up crashing- Luke knew he couldn't take a nap for the whole trip and was too tired

I was just watching a video of Mark Hamill's talk at Celebration VI (on youtube), and he said something about Yoda that I thought was very interesting - they have a shot early on which shows him putting his leg onto the trunk to get onto it before cutting back to Luke as he reacts and that this establishes for the audience the notion that he has legs and can move them around. In most of the following scenes of the movie, he walks around with his legs out of frame because, well he's a puppet. It's another great example of the 'footprint in the snow'.
