Here is a question slightly off base. Since Lucasfilm is part of the usenet
(nee dagobah) they by default get net.sf-lovers and net.movies.sw and I
assume SOMEONE there reads it. When I went to Octocon this year, Howard
Kazanjian gave a film/slide presentation on 'Revenge of the Jedi' (nee
Return...). He also got a lot of 'Jedi's don't belive in revenge' flack.
My question is: did the massive amount of verbiage, planning, and thought
that went through the net (and other fannish groups) affect RotJ, and if
so, how much. It seemed to me as I watched RotJ how CLOSE the movie was to
how I felt it should be, and I recently realized that the reason might be
because they were actually listening to all of those wierd (and occasionally)
wonderful schemes here on the net. If that IS the case, should we have
gotten screen credit? (Just joking, guys). Anyone from Lucasfilm/dagobah
wanna tackle this one?
