Star Wars Minutiae

Posted by michael on from the secondae dept.

Class Act Dynamo writes "CNN does a story on some of the finer points of making the Star Wars flicks. I like the part where Mark Hamill discusses the theoretical logistics of employing janitorial staff for the entire Death Star. Enjoy."

    and yet Blue Collar Man passed the job on to his friend??? I'd have put the word around for anyone I know not to touch that contract with a bargepole...

    Hey, this is slightly off subject, but last night I was watching the new Star Wars DVD and during the scene where Luke and Han Solo were at the gunners station in the millenium falcon shooting at tie fighters (I believe it's after they escape the death star and obi wan's killed), one of the tie's flys by and has a GREEN FUCKING BOX around it! Looks like someone at ILM didn't clean that up! Anyone else get this problem??

    I'm sure you'd defend the actions of President Reagan when he trained death squads in Central America

    Sigh. You just love to connect Ronald Reagan to Honduran "death squads," don't you? The fact that Reagan ordered only the training of Honduran police forces and the Honduran police committed atrocities on their own doesn't even slow you down.

    Whatever, dude. If you want to be a radical leftist spouting anti-American propaganda, knock yourself out.
