I know Alec Guinness really didn’t like to be known for Star Wars, but because of that… people who didn’t know who he was would look him up and discover his earlier work. That is why you take jobs even if you don’t think the work is worthy of your talent.

I thought it was because Obi-Wan knew Han was boasting about a supposed lie about the Falcon, not that he was trying to lie about what a parsec was.

You would think Luke would also know what a parsec was during that scene as he’s a pilot. That seems like it would be more basic knowledge there than it would be here on Earth.

My gut still tells me Lucas didn’t know or care. The novelization back in the day says “standard time units” instead of parsecs… which would indicate it was an error in the script.

Carl Weathers was in Happy Gilmore where he had an accident with an alligator. He’s was also in Rocky IV where he was killed by Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). And yes, he was killed in Predator.

Yes. Senate hearings and trade disputes are for kids. 👍

Maybe… but Skywalker was definitely originally called Starkiller back in the 70s before Lucas changed it to a more positive sounding name. It was in one of the original scripts.

EDIT, from Wiki:

George Lucas considered various characterizations for the protagonist of the original Star Wars film.[s] The possibilities included a 60-year-old grizzled war hero, a Jedi Master, a dwarf, and a woman.[5][6] Luke’s original surname was “Starkiller”, and it remained in the script until a few months into filming. It was dropped due to what Lucas called “unpleasant connotations” with Charles Manson, who became a “star killer” in 1969 when he murdered the well-known actress Sharon Tate.[7][8] Lucas replaced the problematic name “Starkiller” with “Skywalker”.[9]

“You know what would be a cool Easter egg for the fans? The new Death Star that’s 100 times as large…? We’ll call it Starkiller base. Cause you know Skywalker’s original name was Starkiller.”

Hurr-durr-durrr.

He co-created Rebels, oversaw all the scripts, wrote a few. That’s not nothing.

When I saw this scene as a kid, I thought Motti coughed up the yellow button on the console. I didn’t know what it was at the time and thought Vader somehow put some yellow choking pill inside him. It was very disturbing to me. This was before I knew what a Force choke was.

They didn’t want to spring for the color print or did that not mesh well with the color palette in the room?

It’s a lie! Get’em!

I really didn’t like this show outside of the fight choreography. That was done surprisingly well. The makeup, especially on her, was not great. Felt like 1990s Star Trek TV.

2nd and 3rd. There were twins.

Is this the Kenny Rogers Roasters episode? If so, well done to whomever created this.

Uh… wait… uh… You’re under arrest!
