What is unusual about seeing Star Wars more than once? I saw it twice when it first came out, shipped out on WESTPAC and saw it again when we stopped in Pearl Harbor, came back after a year and saw it again in San Francidsco, went up to Seattle and saw it again with Close Encounters (actuually, we walked out of one theater and into another). Since then I've aquired a cassette of it and play it when my three-year old gets on his SW kick (he even had a Boba Fett before I knew who Boba Fett was!!).

I have been watching the disscussion about the Clone Wars from Star Wars. If someone had checked the Stars Wars book they would have found on page 75,76 that it was Clone Wars and only Clone Wars. Also on page 80 Luke askes Obi-wan Kenobi about his father's death. Here is the reply. Kenobi hesitated, and Luke sensed that the old man had no wish to talk about this particular matter. Unlike Owen Lars, however Kenobi was unable to take refuge in a comfortable lie. "He was betrayed and murdered," Kenobi declared solmely, "by a very young Jedi Named Darth Vader." He was not looking at Luke, "A boy I was training. One of my brightest diciples...one of my greatest failures." If any one wants to come look at the books for further information let me know I have Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back now in my office. M.J.Hauck

1. "Endor" is not exactly an echo of Tolkien; one of the favorite Old Testament subjects of painters has been the witch of Endor (from context, she's actually a medium (maybe necromancer)). 2. re what went past Luke while he was hanging onto the underside of Cloud City: one of the nut cases among this area's juvenile fandom (she'd probably be a Valley Girl on the other coast) made up a clay model, realistically painted, of a severed hand, which she planned to hold up (yelling "I got it!") at the appropriate point. I very carefully was not along to see this.
