"Revenge of the Jedi"... Episode 6 in the Star Wars saga, has
just finished filming, according to some friends I have down in
Arizona.

The release date for us humans that want to see it is
still the summer of 1983. I guess it takes that long to score
all the music, do all the film-editing, prepare all the promo
material, and all that junk.

I wish Lucas & Co. would get the thing going a little faster.
I can't really imagine waiting until 1997 to see all nine parts
of the Star Wars series.

Here's a trivia question for other fellow addicts of Star Wars:

Most everyone knows that the original "Star Wars" was
episode 4 in the series, and "The Empire Strikes Back"
was episode 5.

Who out there knows the new correct TITLE of Episode 4?

Don't get me wrong -- the thing is still called Star Wars
by millions of people, but there is a specific title that
tells what episode 4 is about. That's what I'm looking
for.

Send replies to:

...!decvax!teklabs!tekmdp!randals

-or-

...!ucbvax!teklabs!tekmdp!randals

I'll publish the correct title in about a week.

P.S. How many people have seen SW more than 22 times in the theatre,
or at triple speed on video tape (boy, that's fun)?

lol

Thanks I was looking for this.

Is there any way to search these groups though? That's what I'm specifically looking for.

Before someone linked to it so you can get like Famitsu video game sales charts from 1988, its friggin insane.

Some of the searches seem goofy. I'd sometimes get results where it would show me a later post in a thread, while the first one would be more appropriate and obviously earlier. But oh well. Here are additional points for the timeline.

|
-------- May 1991 First appearance of ROTFLOL
|
-------- Sep 1991 First mention of Dennis Kucinich

[soundwave05]

I remember that Padme-Naboo-JarJar thing though :lol People thought they were fake names.

I think Jar Jar would be really cool.

Could easily become a cult name.


And I'm serious ;0)

They might as well outlaw the Beatles, or change God's name, or reinstate
prohibition.

For those of you out there who are confirmed cocaholics such as myself,
I encourage, nay, INSIST that you call Lucy at (213) 746-5555x4249
