    It was all a cunning ploy, to lure us into a false sense of security. :))

    How do we know he'd just not using that as a disguise like Luke and Han did in A New Hope? He's obviously running from someone because he's out of breath, then he continues to run.

    I could be wrong here, but wasn't Luke Skywalker trying to join the Academy or some such (which would have been as part of the Empire/as a storm trooper) before he was side tracked into joining the rebellion? If that's the case, it doesn't necessarily follow that all storm troopers would have to resemble the Maori chap who was cloned in the prequels??? (Which I understand to be the plot hole that some of these fan boys claim to have uncovered).

    The Clone troopers were... er... clones. Stormtroopers were made up of humans from throughout the galaxy and what was left of the clone process. They were only human though as the Emperor was racist. And yes, Luke was going to join up too.

    At the end of ROTJ, only the Emperor was defeated, not the Empire as a whole. Plenty of Generals and suck ups willing to take over his role.

    What I don't get is the hypocritical mentality going on.

    What about Darth Vader being voiced by a black guy? Or Lando Corrinthian? Or Jango Fett? Or Mace Windolean?

    Article plus pics. Star Wars super-fan Bill McBride boasts the world's largest collection of Darth Vader memorabilia and is on a 20-year mission to turn his bedroom into a museum dedicated to the Sith Lord. McBride has spent more than $270,000 on buying Darth Vader merchandise, has collected more than 60,000 items including figurines, artwork and replica lightsabers.

    The force is REALLY strong with this one:

    A stand alone Boba Fett film could be brilliant. Hope they don't screw it up.

    I find it very sad though that no models or miniatures were made for the film.

    TB2 recently brought to my attention an article that Jamie Anderson wrote on his new Thunderbirds Are Go series, where he said that CGI doesn't always have the charm that real world models have.

    Don't get me wrong, the art of CGI is truly remarkable, and virtually (<-- pun intended) anything is possible. But I can't help but think how cool things could have been if they were filmed using models and miniatures.

    I'm afraid the days of Stears and Meddings are at an end. It appears I'm a timex watch in a digital age :#
