 "QUANTUM SHOT" #93Revisionist Look at the Classic Film With "Star Wars" epic coming again on big screens (this time in full 3D) sometime this year, lets look again at the film that started it all "Star Wars IV: A New Hope" - and reconsider the story in the light of films I-III  Keith Martin wrote the article, detailing his discoveries of hidden events and agendas that must've taken place in that first film (for narrative thread and logic to hold together) - but were left out for various (mostly clandestine) reasons Here is the link (via Deadly Computer) Read the article and discover, for example that - Chewbacca is the ultimate undercover agent and a deep thinker. - Han Solo is not all that daring and independent. - Millennium Falcon is a hot custom job, "007"-like. - Pretty much everything that happened on Tatooine was prearranged; and most surprisingly, that R2D2 is "The Mastermind", the Brain behind it all. If this article was surprising, there is nothing surprising about this comparison between Star Wars and Harry Potter:  and if you had an opportunity to improve the plot, you'd probably put in this episode:  If Salvador Dali was among art directors, we could've had "Temptation of Jedi":  (image courtesy: Elle, Chickendoll.com) If Darth had more friends:  Thanks jeansnow If Yoda would spend less time in a swamp:  Thanks Xapmc Other good stuff:   Star Wars sculptures made out of BUTTER:   (images credit: Tulsa State Fair, via) Jedi Gothic:   (image credit: Lockwasher Design)   UPDATE: Here is the full version of the "best painting ever", opening our post: (Hugh Fleming's poster) The original painting hangs near the entry of B building at the new Lucasfilm campus in San Francisco.  Thanks JRK also, here is a surprise: in the original designs for "Star Wars" Ralph MacQuarrie painted Luke as a girl. Quite a concept, eh?   CONTINUE TO NEXT PAGE

The R2D2 Heineken keg hadn't seen that before. That's great!
hey thanks for the link. You got some good pictures there, a few i haven't seen before, nice work.
Also, i didn't know that the original movies were set to be released again in 3-D interesting...

I found this great clip on jokes.m3Rlin.org. It's a great claymation movie about Darth Vader and the Emperor: http://jokes.m3rlin.org/funny/darth-vader-calls-the-emperor-claymation . I laughed so hard!!!
I'd love to see an illustration of Darth and ObiWan dueling (across the room, left) while Luke and Leia watch (foreground, right) but done as and in the style of a pulp magazine cover of the 1930s.
(As if Amazing Stories printed Star Wars in the 1930s.)
