I thought Biggs got burned in the Death Star fight scene in ANH according
to the book and that was why Luke decided to go and "...take that sucker out."
(what movie was that quoted from?).
Yes, I remeber the missing line of "Close the blast doors" in an early
release of ANH and I wish they had left it in, it helps substanciate the
intelligence level of your average run of the mill storm trooper. Speaking
about storm troopers being all human, I understand they've just found a spot
on the evolutionary scale for them.
A note about C-3PO saying in ANH that he was "...just an interpreter and
not very good at telling stories." and then taking all of about a minute
and a half to tell the entire story of ANH, TESB and ROTJ thus far into the
movie is a classic example I. Assimov's rules of robotics. C-3PO being a
protocal droid and probably involved in a lot of diplomatic interpretation
has to be (above all else) very very humble.
Finally, I've seen ANH in french about 3 times (I was fluent at the time
but a little rusty now) and some of the lines were slightly different between
that and english. In La Guerre des Etoile (LGDE) when OB1 leaves Luke, Han et
al in the guard room in search of the tracter beam control and DV he stops and
says to Luke "La force est avec tu" (The force IS with you) whereas in english
he says "The force WILL BE with you" (La force sera avec tu).
