FYI the latest 4K release, a Best Buy exclusive in the US, is the Disney+ version. Looks gorgeous, but you have to put up with Greedo exclaiming "Maclunkey" before he expires which is Huttese for "I don't mind the updates to the special effects for the most part, but please leave the script alone as it was fine".
Fans of the Star Wars franchise may be interested in these webpages:Aveleyman.com: From Star Wars To Jedi: The Making Of A Saga Aveleyman.com: Empire Of Dreams: The Story Of The Star Wars Trilogy Wookieepedia Star Wars.com - the official website I have elected to show actors by their role, with their 'Expanded Universe' names (now no longer canon, thankfully, as most of the names were stupid) in parentheses. I'd prefer not to have them at all, but they've become de facto canon to many people, for better or worse. Often repeated errors:
Lightning Bear: Possibly in ESB and ROTJ, but definitely not in ANH. See link on his actor page.
Doug Beswick: Did not play a Tusken Raider; erroneous caption in J.G. Rinzler's 'Making Of' book) |
