[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Stream-of-consciousness time again... "Shadows" was a novel, PC game, console game, comic book series, set of action figures, set of model kits, pop-up book, soundtrack CD, and "making of..." book. Was there anything else? The CG artists who worked on the Mos Eisley air traffic mentined that they specifically and intentionally put in the [i]Outrider[/i], and not some generic YT-2400. Much as I like what Tim Zahn added to the SW universe, he got a lot of details wrong. In some cases, he was simply parroting what West End Games had (erroneously) established back c.1980-82 regarding Super Dtar Destroyers and lightsabers, but where he really screwed up was "Rogue Squadron". No such critter. When Red Leader died at the battle of Yavin, Red 2 (Wedge) moved up to command Red Squadron in his place. All Luke did was command the ground-effect airspeeder squadron Rogue [i]Group[/i] in the defense of the Hoth base. Given his background on Tatooine, this was more his area of expertise. I am [i]so[/i] incredibly honked off by the new background for Boba Fett. I very, very, very much prefer the origin given in Marvel's Star Wars series way back when. I know someone with an editing rig, and I'm splicing together my "definitive edition" Trilogy. ESB is pretty much cool as is with the new DVD. With Jedi, I'm taking all the DVD stuff (even that horrid "Jedi Rocks" number -- like the extra footage of Oola and the other dancers) and retaining the previous "special edition" ending, with Sebastian Shaw, and trying to trim out the intercutting with the celebrations on Tatooine, Coruscant, and Cloud City. Star Wars is hard. Most of it I'm cool with as far as the DVD goes, but I've restored the original version of Han shooting Greedo, and cut out the bad CG of Luke's initial entry into Mos Eisley (no Rontos or swoop). I wish I had the capacity to do new CG for Obi-Wan's death and Boba Fett's escape. Wish also I had access to the cut footage, like Luke and the vaporators, the reunion with Biggs, the sandstorm, etc. See... What one watches in the cinema is one thing. When I'm home, I have ready access to food, drink, and potty, and would much rather see the whole story. Love the extended editions of the LotR DVDs. :) We saw a couple YT-1600s in Ep II. Do you want to claim they're both the [i]Millennium Falcon[/i]. And the poster on the [i]Tantive IV[/i] bridge was a Playboy pin-up. Aban -- "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was the first movie, not a YIJ ep. The Ewok movies took place before Jedi. The destruction of the Death Star II resulted in the complete ecological devastation of Endor. And incidentally, Cindel Towani showed up in the "Black Fleet Crisis" series. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
