Block 1138 #60
Heres some more dialogue in from a scene with Jar Jar, Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan in the Gungan Submarine. Remember again that this is from a earlier draft of the film.
JAR JAR: Yousa Jedi not all yousa cracked up to be. Oh, Oh!
(Sparks are flying and water is leaking into the cabin. The sound of the power drive drops)
OBI-WAN: ...we're losing power.
(OBI-WAN is working with the sparking wires)
QUI-GON: Stay calm. We're not in trouble yet.
JAR JAR: What yet? Monstairs out dare! leak'n in here, all'n sink'n, and nooooo power! You nutsen! When yousa tink wesa in trouble?!!!?
OBI-WAN: Power's back.
(The lights flicker on, revealing an ugly COLO CLAW FISH right in front of them)
JAR JAR: Monstair's back!
(The large COLO CLAW FISH is suprised and rears back. The sub turns around and speeds away)
JAR JAR: (screaming) Wesa in trouble now!!
QUI-GON: Relax.
QUI-GON: puts his hand on Jar Jar's shoulder. Jar Jar relaxes into a coma.
OBI-WAN: You overdid it, Master. He's out.

A little Star Wars humor for you, Knipy. (Don't worry....it's not by me,
either.) (Just a thought, though, if you wanna look for some of your own
-- you can check the archives of the Sci-Fi Lovers e-mail list (I used to
be a member of it...really wish I hadn't subscribed, but I had to when
they started ripping apart Kevin J. Anderson....it was gettin' down right
ugly). When you find the early issues reguarding the initial releases of
TESB and ROTJ, there's some dang funny posts made by people claiming
they'd seen the films in an alternate universe. They came up with all
sorts of crap like Leia, not being able to choose between Han and Luke,
started sleeping with Chewie. Really funny stuff. :) )
Anyway.....
"Imperial Rhapsody" (sung to the tune of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody")
LANDO: This is the good life
This is a fantasy
Working on Bespin
An escape from Reality.
LEIA: Open your eyes
Stand up to these guys and see.
LUKE: I'm just a farmboy, I need some sympathy
Cuz who's my dad, I dunno
Little whine, little moan.
HAN: Anywhere the Force goes, doesn't really matter, to me
PIETT: Vader just killed a man.
Raised an arm up in the air
Now his life is no longer there.
Vader, we had just begun,
And now I've gone and lost the reb-el scum.
Vader, ooooooo.
Didn't mean to make you mad
If I'm not alive again this time tomorrow,
There'll be a new admiral, as if nothing ever happened.
YODA: Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time.
LUKE: Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and learn the Force.
PIETT: Vader, ooooooooo.
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
LUKE: I see a little silhouetto of a man
Palpatine, Palpatine, can it be the Emperor?
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very hurting me!
R2-D2, R2-D2,
R2-D2, R2-D2,
R2-D2, Where'd ya go? C-3PO O O O O O OH!
I'm just a farmboy, nobody loves me.
REBELS: He's just a farmboy, with a dead family.
Spare him this life of such mendacity!
HAN: Spice'll come, spice'll go. Jabba let me go.
JABBA: Bo shuda! (NO, we will not let you go)
HAN: Let me go!
JABBA: Bo shuda! (We will not let you go)
HAN: Let me go!
JABBA: Bo shuda! (We will not let you go)
HAN: LET ME GO!
JABBA: WILL NOT LET YOU GO!
HAN: LET ME GO!
JABBA: WILL NOT LET YOU GO!
HAN: LET ME GO!
JABBA: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
C3PO: Oh R2-D2, R2-D2, R2-D2, Come along.
LEIA: C-3PO has a rebel put aside for meeeee, for meeeeee, for
MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Stormtroopers start headbanging)
LUKE: So you say you're the dear old dad of mine?
But you cut my hand off and left me to die!
Oh Vader, can't do this to me, Vader.
I know there's some good, I know there's still some good in you.
OBIWAN: May the Force be with you.
Use the Force to see.
May the Force be with you,
May the Force be with you, alwaaaaaaaaaaaaays.
HAN: Anywhere the Force goes, doesn't really mat-ter, to meeeeeeee.

Just like the old days! A lot of pople posting! Its so cool!!!!!
rascuniverse I gotta thank ya' for clearing up that thing about the guy
in "Airforce One" that looks like Mark Hamill. I had that same doubt.
Anyway, I'm kinda uninspired so this will seem like a very short post.
Oh cool, I just found something to talk about! How many times have you
seen the Episode 1 trailer?(cool question huh?) And, how many of them
have been in one same day?
Well, thats all.

I won't make any comments, but no doubt I would win the Most Slashed
award! ha ha!
Maybe the series could be centered around the Young Jedi Knights.
Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin, and their Jedi Friends. This way, there would
be no problem with casting someone to replace the original cast.
Is it true that Steven Sperlberg is going to Direct Episode II. He was
on the list of candidates, but I haven't heard anything officialy.
It would be cool having him directing a Star Wars movie. Who know, maybe
E.T.'s ancesters will have a cameo. (Joke).
One other Question:
How come Characters never go to the bathroom in the movies?
That's all for today!

Second peice of humour for ya....
TOP TEN THINGS TO DO UNTIL 5/21/99
10. Write 50-page synopsis of Episode One based on minute dissection of
first preview trailer. "Force" others to accept your conclusions. Use
Dark Side as needed.
9. Order bulk shipment of the Mace Windu action figure--perfect for all
your gift giving needs.
8. Make a resolution to re-examine your priorities, stop wasting time
on frivolous activities, and focus on things that really matter: Star
Wars, Star Wars, and Star Wars.
7. Write 50-page synopsis of Episode One based on minute dissection of
second trailer, refuting conclusions of original synopsis. Proudly
present to fellow fans. See item #10 if necessary.
6. Thank the Force it's not a leap year --- waiting an EXTRA day would
drive a Hutt to acts of random kindness.
5. Review bootlegged movie stills with hairdresser. Be the first on
your block to sport the "Yoda" look. Sense much snickering.
4. Petition IRS for filing extension on tax return: "I've been so busy
with this third synopsis thing..."
3. The "Yoda" look is dangerous. They all sense it. Why can't you?
Return to hairdresser; ask for the "Obi-Wan."
2. Start stockpiling Spam and bottled water. That ticket line is going
to be longer than "Titanic."
1. Brush up on old Jedi mind tricks. Teenage theater usher will be most
happy to cooperate when "Mr. Lucas" insists on "measuring fan reaction"
for 22 consecutive showings.
Heres a little bit about a scene in Episode One...oh and just a quick
note I forgot to metion before. All these scenes are from a early draft
of the film:
Right after Jar Jar plants a big kiss on Qui-Gon's lips (not Obi-Wan's,
since it is Qui-Gon who saves the Gungan's life), Jar Jar claims he can
take Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to someplace safe. He first warns them that
when they get there, things might not go well because he has been
banished from his city. He takes them there anyway. The three of them
have to swim underwater to get to the city of Otoh Gunga. Obi-Wan and
Qui-Gon have breathing masks that they pull from their utility belts!
And heres a little bit of script in Watto's shop:
WATTO: ...Now let me see... a T-14 hyperdrive generator!! You-a in
luck, thee! I'm the only one in town who has one... but yousa might as
well buy a new ship. It would be cheaper, I think... Saying of which,
how's thee going to pay for all this?
QUI-GON: I have 20,000 Republic dataries...
WATTO: Republic credits?!? Republic credits are no good out here. I
needa something more real...
QUI-GON: I don't have anything else. (raising his hand) But credits
will do fine.
WATTO: No they won'ta
QUI-GON: (using his mind power, waves his hand again) Credits will do
fine.
WATTO: No they won'ta. What, you think you're some kinda Jedi, waving
your hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian. Mind tricks dont'a work on
me - only money. No money, no parts! No deal! And no one else around
here has a T-14 hyperdrive, I promise you that.

Sorry, I must say that Babylon 5 made excellent use of CGI, and was a

Very funny Atonia!
I was almost falling for it. . . but the idea ain't that bad!
How about a section in the Site about the SLASHED parts of the posts.
Like Too Hot for Mailing list ot something, and then we can see what it
was missing.
Of course, 90% of this place would be about me. . ha ha, since most of
the SLASHES have been for me and Soul (me most of the time), but I
think
everybody has te right to know what they haven't read.
You even could title it the "Long or Short Posts War"
Please don't SLASH the above. I want to know what other members think
about the idea.
[Ok...Ive left the comment in but there is no way your idea is ever
going on the site. I thought this was a joke but with you, Raf buddy,
Im not so sure]
Thanx for all the supports for the Star Wars TV series. It been like a
reverse way since I suggested it. At the beggining everybody thought It
was a stupid (is that word allowed?) idea, but Block after Block
suggestions came to make it a good idea.
So the good idea is to have a Star Wars TV Series produced by
LucasFilm,
and supervised by George Lucas.
I would vote to make it about the post-trilogy novels, and it should
start after 2010, to let the movies cool down (if its possible).
Also, somebody told me that Mark Hamill appeared in Air Force One, as
part of the crew of teh plain. . .but this guy is confussing Mark with
someone else. Mark Hamil never showes up in the credits, and the only
guy that looks like him, appeared to in the new Psyco film, and is not
Luke Skywalker. Just to make it clear, if anyone else was thinking it
was him. His name is not on the credits.
[I do belive the guy your talking off is William H Macy. He was in
Pyscho 98, Air Force One and the excellent Fargo. And coming to think
off it he does look a little like Mark Hamill. While we're on the
subject of Marky. While watching him do his tour of England promoting
the Special edtions in 97 was I the only one who thinks he sounds a
little....well....errrmmmmm...Camp??? It isnt noticeable in the
trilogy but it is now]
Besides, I saw Mark in an interview when the Special Editon was coming
up, and he didn't look as old and this guy.
Also some people confused him with the Priest in Seventh Heaven. Wrong
too! But for this role, Mark was Casted but he didn't look old enough,
or mature enough to play a Priest with five kids, head of a family.
see you next time!

From: mandalore77@hotmail.com
Arrggghhh! So many negative responses to my opinion on the
Star
Wars T.V. series! Well I've rethought my ideas and I have to say I'd
really enjoy a series. I'd hope it'd also be based on Rogue and Wraith
Squadron books. Hopefully they could be more like a T.V. movie series,
so we could enjoy each installment that much longer. I also agree that
we should use models and not that much CGI. You want an example? Look
at
the dogfights in Babylon 5. The action is good but the graphics speak
for themselves. Dry and ungraphically chipper. You can't capture the
grittiness of the Star Wars universe with CGI. So sorry about the
anti-series attitude, I've changed my thoughts. That'd be great if they
had Ysanne Isard in the series, maybe a few Imperial super weapons...
Oh, Mark Hamill lends his voice on Fox's show "Spiderman" as the
Hobgoblin. So Knipy, when are the trivia questions gonna be posted? We
need a "Least slashed mailer Award" and the "Most slashed" too.
Here's some dumb-ass jokes I made up:
You might be a Star Wars geek if:
You get yourself stuck in a garbage can trying to impress some chicks
with your amazing R2-D2 impersonstion.
You actually get horny by rubbing the paint off your Kenner Slave
Dancer
Leia figure to see whats underneath her iron bikini.
(Come on it's not that bad Knipy!)
You've passed out trying to produce pheremones like Xizor to get a
girl's attention.
You think the only thing sadder than Yoda's death is when the Ewoks get
mowed down by that meany AT-ST.
You hope the Yavin 4 Jedi Praxeum will consider giving you a college
scholarship.
You got arrested because your friend was cold, and you cut open your
neighbor's prize dairy cow and shoved him in.
You killed your little cousin by telling him to trust the Force and he
could levitate out of the tree.
You've ever searched the Yellow Pages for Darth Vader Death Grip
Community College.
You get pulled over by the Highway Patrol and say,"You don't need to
see
my identification."

My personal votes:
Corran Horn (the man's a complete prick and so up himself he sees out of
his mouth and the reason I would commit suicide if the Star Wars tv
series
was about the X-wing books) (Yes. I do know that the series is just a

Aaannnnndddd now for a little humour....as always not by me.....
TOP TEN SURPRISES IN THE "STAR WARS" PREQUELS
10. Fall of Old Republic traced to Jedi Council's policy of "don't ask,
don't tell"
regarding suspected Sith Lords.
9. Initial popularity of Senator Palpatine due mainly to campaign
promise to "wipe out those pesky Ewoks."
8. Yoda's secret life as Chippendale's dancer finally exposed.
7. Brief cameo by Sean Connery as gruff but lovable Professor Henry
Kenobi, who reveals that "Obi-Wan" was actually the dog's name.
6. Hundreds of Ewoks saved from certain death in Episode Two, "Star
Wars: Qui-Gon's List."
5. Steamy love scene involving R2D2 and a suit of Mandalorian battle
armor.
4. Original "Jedi Knights" were a championship bowling team from
Circarpous IV.
3. Computer-generated appearance by late actor Roddy McDowall in
Episode Three, "Star Wars: Planet Of The Wookiees".
2. Mon Mothma's rebel sympathies date back to summer she spent as
intern at the Imperial Palace.
1. Enraged by lack of screen time, a desperate C3PO hijacks a Mon
Calamari Star Cruiser and demands passage to Deep Space Nine.

For the guy who's a stocker at Wal-Mart I've got to say I seen
the cross-eyed Chewies at a store in Central Oregon. Weird thing is we
only have 2 Walmarts, but they were only at one! They also had a
shipment to Bi-Mart, which also had the X's. I bet you guys know more
about these items than I do. I have begun to believe that Darth Suild
may be Palpatine. In the E1 trailer, Anakin is shown being held on the
shoulder by a man in a dark cloak. All you can see is his hands, but
when you compare these to some E1 Palpatine shots I have, you'll notice
these are actually McMyriad's (palpatine) hands! There is a stunning
resemblance! Everyone has to check out Star Wars: Behind the Magic 2
the
CD-ROM. This awesome disk has the souhgt after cut Anchorhead scenes.
In
this we see a lot less layed back younger Luke hanging out with
friends.
It also ties in Biggs very well. I can't believe ti was cut. Also, the
lost Cantina Scenes with a fine lady sitting on Han's lap! Who is this
mystery woman?
To the person who leveled my opinion of the Star Wars series
I've got something to say. The Young Indy Chronicles lasted only 2
seasons, and was directed by Rick McCallum and a little by Steven
Spielberg. The series you listed from the Sci-Fi channel are all very
good, but they were never actually movies! Just thought I'd correct our
little misunderstanding. By 2010 our CGI will probably be able to make
virtual interactive Chewies to put in series if needed!

I for one, would be delighted to see a t.v. series. A nice hour-
long weekly show on the Fox network. And a good primetime slot, as not
to make it another one of those boring sci-fi shows no one watches and
get cancelled after the first season.
I don't think using the classic story line would be in order though.
They should make it somewhat like the X-Wing book series, focusing on
other characters of the Star Wars Universe. Actually, if it followed
the X-Wing storyline and characters, it would work out perfectly. You
don't have to find Carrie Fisher/Mark Hamill/Harrison Ford look-alikes.
Just a Wedge, Janson, and a couple others. And the X-Wing stories are
faster-paced- that would be a lot more appropriate for a series.
It would probably take the place of the X-Files as my favorite t.v.
show. I think I'd get good ratings, since even people who aren't real
sci-fi fans have fell in love with Star Wars.
Another idea -- At the beginning of each show, they could have the
scrolling text explaining the plot, actors credits and such with the
classis music in the background, then switch to something like in the
rogue Squadron videogame commercial music and show some kick@$$ space
battle scenes....
Just my thoughts...oh, and sorry for the lenghth... :)
[Dont worry about the length!!!]

Block 1138 #57 Heres some more bits of info on Ep1 scenes:Info from the Pod Race
XELBREE, BOZZIE, TERTER, OBITOKI, HABBA, and ODY MYSTURALL are all pod
racers from the early draft of the script. In one scene, a droid,
curiously named DUM-4, runs in front of ODY MYSTURALL's pod and the
alien shouts at him to get out of the way of the huge 747-like engines.
Later during the race, as DUM-4 again demonstrates his keen grip on
reality, DUM-4 runs in front of a pod in the pits being repaired, and
when BOZZIE starts the engine, he sucks the droid in to the intake
mainifold. The engine coughs and dies, then explodes. "Droids!" hesays.
The first meeting on Anakin and Padme
Anakin thinks Padme is an 'angel.' He has not seen a woman like her
ever in his life on the outer-rim planet of Tatooine. In their first
dialogue, Anakin asks her if she is an angel and then proceeds to ask
her to marry him. She replies that she thought that wasn't possible
because he is "just a boy." Anakin grins and replies, "But I won'talways be."
A Scene at the Jedi Council and Yoda first line (I think)

I saw Hamill on an Outer Limit program about treating schizophrenia by
going into people's minds several years ago. I can't say which one itwas
because it may have been a repeat or something and I can't remember the
title of the program.
[Yeah I remember that. He had is acting talents pusehed in that. I
cant remember what it was called but it had a sad ending. I wont giveit away]
Also, when the SE's came out The Culture from the Sunday Times ran a cut
6-page article from (I think) the New York times and it said that Hamill
had also been in a stage production of Elephant Man. Don't quote me asI
no longer have the article etc. but I think it's true. No doubt Knipywill
set me right :)
[No I belive your right, Did. Mark has appeared on the stage a couple
of times. He appered in Room Service as the comic jewish play
producer. He found this part most intresting because it was so unlike
the parts he was used to playing. If you want to see this play it was

And as you may imagine, Fisher looked really, um, hot. Well, let stop
the PG-13 stuff.
To ad myself to the SW freaks competition I've seen The Trilogy atleast
200,000 times.(thats with a little exageration of course). An
rascuniverse, I dont think it is scientificaly possible to see allthree
movies in one year counting that after school there is only like 8hours
which only gives time for 4 times. Free days and holydays only giveyou
like 16 hours wich only counts for 8 times sou when you add andmultiply
you dont even reach 20,000 times. Well, thats just about it for today.

May I point out Young Indiana Jones Chonicles? Started off as a couple
of TV movies, and then wound up being a series, which I think lasted for
a couple of seasons (correct me if I'm wrong). And Lucas was at thehelm
of that one. You gotta admit -- it was pretty good. Not quite as good
as the movies, but it was good. I think with Lucas at the helm, itcould
really work. Besides....there's enough of a fan base that no network in
their right mind would cancel it before the final episode had been
written. I think it would be kinda cool, assuming Lucas has full
artistic control over it (as usual), and they don't come to depend too
heavily on CGI effects for the series. Models are much better, even if
they do take longer. I've never seen a sci-fi show make good use ofCGI.
They always use it too much, which makes it look really low-budget, I
think. Or they use strictly models, which I think looks much better.
But, I just want to say this: I don't understand what everyone has
against the Sci-Fi channel so much. I mean, look at the *good* shows
they brought back from the dead! "Sliders" (which they even broughtback
to a fairly intelligent "what if..." show, rather than "let's rip off
whatever the hot movie in theaters this week is), and VR5, which I think
is one of the most brilliant pieces of work to come from FOX, definitely
(yeah, X-Files is good, but it's a bit of a no-brainer), and probablythe
greatest show Sci-Fi channel could've ever bought the rights to. (Knipy,
I'll be rather surprised if this survives the wrath of your saber.
Moreso, though, I'll probably be a bit disappointed that I've not been
included in your little slash-fest. ;) )[Next time you may not be so lucky]
