SASW@MIT-MC (12/31/82)
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. -- Steve
