Star Wars, the Lost Interviews 133
smooth wombat writes "Coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the Release of Star Wars, Ballantine Books is publishing J.W. Rinzler's "The Making of Star Wars", which bills itself as "The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film." The book is the result of Rinzler's discovery of interviews that Charles Lippincott, Lucasfilm's VP marketing and merchandising in the mid-'70s, conducted with the film's principals between 1975 and 1978."

I wonder which version will be screened, the original or "enhanced" version?

remember the end of episode 3. yoda said to obiwan that there has been a way discovered to communicate from the afterlife, and the discoverer was qui gonn, his former teacher. and qui gonn contacted yoda. yoda said to obi wan about exile in tatooine, and there was training involved in it too. basically qui gonn taught obi wan about matters afterlife, how to come back to commune with the physical and such. obi wan have let vader "kill" himself, though, killing needs to mean more than just plain old evaporating into thin air.
lore aside, what i most enjoyed from episode 3 and obi wan kicking vader's ass was the fact that all those vader/darth wannabees who scoured the games (swg, kotor, online offline any game), communities and etc babbling about how dark was more powerful, oooh how cool it was, darth maul was such and such, (he looks more like a punk, prodigy, hence bambinos envy him more, not vader) and how light side was just pathetically weak, ho ho ho, this and that, have their mouth shut up tight after obi wan kicking vader's butt in episode 3. then we have started to see quite a many obi wan avatars, toons, nickname variations in games and around the internet.

i didnt say that. probably you mis-replied ?
but, yea, i would probably be able to kill him. Wait, remove the "probably" from the preceding sentence.
"zarth" intended.
as for the killing thing - you need to physically/spiritually harm a human being enough so that body will not be able to support conscious life.
where is the body harmed in obi-wan's case ? no jedi in lore have died like that in any of the movies ?
something else happened there.

If he really wants to get into it, how about "George Lucas didn't make the original with either sequels or prequels in mind," or "Luke and Leia and Han were originally supposed to be a love triangle," or "Lucas cut the Jabba scene because it was awkward and poorly-acted, not because of FX limitations." Hell, even a "There was a disturbing connection between SW and Disco in those early years" would be more interesting than what they're selling so far.
