- What *is* Yoda? - George said he never got around to giving Yoda a
home planet or naming his species. He did pause for a second right
after he said so and wonder half to himself if licensing had done
it...nah, the answer is: there is no answer. "I like to keep him a
mystery," GL said. "He's the little frog prince of the movie."
- How old *is* the emperor, anyway? - "I'd say he's 120 when he dies."
- Have you ever watched both trilogies back to back in order? - He
groaned, hedged a bit, then admitted he hasn't done so yet. "I meant to
do it over Thanksgiving..."
- Will you release Sith as 3-D? - The plan is to release all SIX movies
in the 3-D format, not just selected episodes. They'll start with Ep I.
That'll be just the start of a 3-D, um, empire if all goes as planned.
Doing 3-D in digital formats doesn't cost anything extra, GL said. He
touted the prospect of 3-D boxing matches.

So maybe Lucas will also soon be wondering how Leia remembers her real
mother.

ok this has probably been discussed ad infinitum but how do we know she
wasn't just remembering her adopted mother? She describes her and she
had green hair or what?

Lucas better not watch Episodes 1 to 6 straight. He might get some new
ideas and change Episodes 4 to 6 some more.
And then he'll watch the series once more and he'll decide to add more
things in 1 to 3. And so on and so forth...

The fact that Luke openly asks about her "real" mother implies that
she'd told him before that she had been adopted as a child. So she
likely wasn't mixing up Padme with Bail's wife.
I suppose Bail's wife could've *also* died when Leia was an infant, and
Bail re-married, but I doubt it. And that chat in ROTJ would have a lot
less meaning if she were only talking about Mrs. Organa, and Luke
thinks it's about Padme... "She was kind, but sad. She took her duty as
Queen of Alderaan quite seriously." "Huh?"
George didn't have anything specific for the circumstances of Luke and
Leia's mother's death when writing up ROTJ, but I bet he's glad he
added that vague "images/feelings" line, since now it somewhat helps
sell the whole "Force" line of reasoning. Somewhat.

I can see him now, 89 years old in an oxygen tent, with a laptop on his
belly and he's tweaking Jar-Jar's facial expressions 8()

I bet he won't even make it through #2. My favorite line in that one is
Boba saying he's just a common man finding his way through the
universe. Oh brother...

Yeah, I always thought it made a lot more sense for Jango to say that
line. George is stoopid!

My bad. You got the point right? And while we're at it, did anyone out
there give a crap about that small little Jango/Boba subplot?
Especially knowing the stupid way Boba ends up dying in ROTJ.

Because then the scene makes no sense what-so-ever.
