From: Steven A. Swernofsky <SASW @ MIT-MC>
Preview footage of the next movie in the Star Wars series is now
appearing at movie theatres in the L.A. area. I noticed these trivia:
1 The movie is clearly called "REVENGE of the Jedi" (emphasis added).
So much for SF-L speculation about Lucas changing the name.
2 Luke Skywalker appears at least twice in the footage. On each
occasion he is wearing black; at least once he is standing next to
Darth Vader (sans violence). Perhaps he has gone over to the Dark
Side? Perhaps he is faking it?
3 In spite of LucasFilms's protests, Obi-Wan appears whole and hearty
in their preview footage. If they plan to etherialize him in the
film, they are certainly taking their time about it.
4 I didn't see any major new characters, but that of course doesn't
mean that they aren't there.
