Hmm...

The Crow sticks out
The first time I saw the OT really sticks out obviously
And the Godfather

Wow... wonderful post. I feel the same way.

I have only a few great movie memories. Seeing Sw for the first time in 1977 is one of them, seeing Empire in 1980 another, seeing them both n 1982 another, as well as seeing the restored Lawrence of Arabia on 70mm in a Paris theater.

thanks. 🙂 wow just like my older brother you were so lucky to have been old enough to see star wars and empire strikes back when they were first released.Wish I was around at that time.My older brother and his best friend would always ride their bikes down the street to the theaters when star wars first came out in 77 and stayed in the theaters for over a year.he said he saw it like over 20 times in the theaters.I would have done the same thing.He said in 80 when Empire came out,that there were lines that were blocks long for that movie,something he had never ever experienced before when a movie came out or ever did since then either except for jedi of course.Do YOU remember seeing lines blocks long?

I was born in 82 so i didnt see any of them till they where on tv

In my country SW wasn't that big at that time. So no. I could go whenever I wanted.

nothing happen in 83 for you then Queeq ?

Well sure. But then there were Ewoks...

But I was talking BIG cinema experiences. There was also seeing Birth of a Nation in a packed theater without sound, seeing Intolerance and City LIghts with a live orchestra. For some reason I don't recall ROTJ being that big in my experience. It was a nice closing moment of the trilogy.

I loved seeing ROTJ at the flicks but i was 15 and being forcefully weened off SW
i think it was more to do with peer pressure than what i really thought of SW.. i was always a fan.....**** em

I forgot SUPERMAN the movie
that was a thrill
i remember being there in the cinema
a small town oldham lad getting exited by skyscrapers and city skylines at night
carried on from KING KONG 1976 i think
if you grew up with a city skyline from your bedroom window i envy you
maybe thats why i love the Coruscant scenes so much
childhood memories of big city skylines

sadly now tainted by true evil

whoah bit deep there
the drink

so
anyone getting any Star Wars Xmas gifts?
or have a fave past xmas Star wars gift?

should we open a new topic?

and because SW Archives killed off the unusual OTthread how about lifting the pics and posting em here and discussing the coolness,background and thoughts of said images??
because whilst that site comes up with the goods boy is it DULL!!!
its a thought
im up for it

i missed the 15 mins deadline

continued-

i could ask questions about the pic on my sig
the who, why ,where and when
something the SWA never do
they post the pics and.....................................thats it

this is my fave SW forum on the net
we were once them(as someone from here posted on there ) and now the SW Archives are us
"ooh ive got a few Official Pix images and a few Gary Kurtz images that were widely available on the net pre 99"
well good for you
so did KMC
you dont own SW
and neither do we
Darth Neo i salute you
you have some genuine gob smacking OT pics on there
but we are going to have your pics and disect them
apart from the so called "rare" pics which have appeared everywhere from tazos to toilet paper contributed by your less well informed members

anyone with me ?
itll kill time till the Clone Wars and Live Tv show

begun the OT rare pics war has

so anyone know the script behind my Boba pic??

so do YOU remember the lines being blocks long at the theaters when empire came out in your country queeq?

personally i remeber queing for SW the third time i saw it but i never qued up for ESB as i recall

SW stands out
from the free window sticker to the cigar advert featuring the robot beforehand where the crowd thought the movie started and hearing the groans when the realised theyd been had

My first guess about the Boba sig is that it is a costume fitting before it's painted,

Then again, maybe Boba was originally mean to be all white.

yeah i recall seeing images of Boba in white
its a good look
i always disliked the colours of the orig fett
particularly on the original Kenner figure

there are disagreements on the net regarding these
are they 70s - 80s pics or the new?
I recall seeing the middle pic a loooooooooooong time ago
maybe im mistaken

Looks OT to me... but then, What do I know.

The clue is maybe the helmet... it looks a little off. And I recall the ROTS people saying the original Vader helmet was not even on the left and right side.

But another remark: look at the boots.... They are very odd.... Maybe it's fake.

I have those boots too !!!!!!!!!!

Now I know it's fake. 😉

Never would have noticed the boots if you wouldn't have mentioned them. It looks newer to me, just the lightsaber looks new.

It's all in the details, G.

you can see a faint starwars.com logo on the bottom left

So? What does that prove?

i dunno why anyone would want to fake a set of retro Vader images seein as the movies are done and he aint coming back
maybe they are official pix for signings
they are similar in image to the pics from the photo session featured on the back of the Scholastic 1977 making of book
but what do i know as well
i do know they are not promo ROTS images

Damn, there goes my theory...

You had a theory?

Well, maybe you're right, V77. I was trying to find pics of Vader's boots. They look rather odd.
