A small tidbit for those of you who await with bated breath (as I do) the release of "The Revenge of the Jedi"--I ran across, by chance, a PR publication from 20th Century Fox which announced that it will be released in the latter days of May, 1983; some artists' scenarios included showed that yes, indeed, everyone is back, including the quick-frozen Han Solo and the mysteriously evaporated Obiwan Kenobi (if you recall, nobody ever said he was DEAD--he was merely gone when Vader's light saber sliced through his--perhaps already?--empty robe). The action will return to Tatooine (Luke's home planet), though nothing was included to explain why. My guess is only that Moss Eisley (sp?) appeared to be a major spaceport, judging from the clientele in the cantina...and a port city on a largely deserted planet could be a useful place to the rebels. After all, we've had jungle and arctic bases; I guess it's time for desert now. It was also announced that "The Empire Strikes Back" will be re- released around Christmastime, with appropriate fanfare and some more-detailed previews of "Revenge" attached.
