Reexamining Star Wars 50 years later

Yes, but it’s pronounced “Yaaaarrrrgh!”

No, “Yaaaarrrrghwarbler Mangrave”.

In the top, sure

They would’ve, but they had to take mandatory training on recognizing phishing emails

It’s Barracus.

(hums A-Team theme…)

Chewie does have a B. A.

I think not, otherwise at some point in one of the three movies they would’ve been locked up in a site containing all kinds of tools and materials and then they would’ve forced their way out in some kind of outlandish (but awesome) vehicle they manufactured from the previously mentioned materials with the aforementioned tools…

You saw them as they first aired???

I’m not worthy. :smiley:

A LOT of folks in this thread are that age. I’m a bit younger than @ThelmaLou, but I happily watched ST when it was a first run prime time weekly show.

I liked it but never went off the deep end. I’ve seen a couple of the early movies when they came out and nothing else since. Nor am I interested in any of it. But the original was good weekly TV for its era and my kidly sensibilities.

I’m old. What can I say?


The first movie was an abomination. The Wrath of Khan was good and so was The Voyage Home. Scotty trying to talk into the computer mouse on the Macintosh 512K-- hehe.

Correct. This is the screenplay

                                 HAN
                     Fast ship? You've never heard of the 
                     Millennium Falcon?

                                 BEN
                     Should I have?

                                 HAN
                     It's the ship that made the Kessel 
                     run in less than twelve parsecs!

           Ben reacts to Solo's stupid attempt to impress them with 
           obvious misinformation.

Most of the time when you look up the Star Wars screenplay you’ll be getting a transcript written by some rando who uploaded it sometime in the 90s.

In the novelisation by Alan Dean Foster the line is “It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve standard timeparts!”

It’s not a transcript. It is the official published screenplay.

Okay, fair enough. Here’s the final shooting script. Han’s line’s on page 49. No scene description of Han’s bluster included.

I find your lack of faith disturbing, :ninja:

Enough of this! Terentii, release him!

You weren’t the only one. TOS ran during my three years of high school, and I dated an early Trekker who also loved Spock. (I have a picture of him she did somewhere.) We started going out after I taped an episode for her - her parents made her go to a movie during Star Trek time. The episode was “Trouble with Tribbles.”
By tape I mean using a cassette audio recorder, of course.
A woman in the SF club in college made me stop off at Leonard Nimoy’s father’s barberhshop on the way back from the picnic.

S-w-o-o-o-nnn…

As you wish. :angry:

Heck, as far as I can tell, Lucas already wound up saying that to Lucas: what does Han Solo do in Cloud City, right when he sees Darth Vader?

One of my big problems with Star Wars was Han treating Chewbacca as a pet. If I was Chewie, and Han ruffled my hair, I would have pulled his arm out of it’s socket.
