George Lucas's ten year delay in making the first trilogy
was totally financial. The wife he divorced would have California
'community property' of the intellectual property.
Jedi mind trick. Palpatine could do it. After all, Anakin's
mom was the hottest *woman* (with a speaking part) in Episode I.

Sporting wood at Star Wars is just *wrong*, Tim! ;)

re #312...Lucas busy during the delay between the two trilogies. He was
producing the Indiana Jones trilogy. Spielberg directed those movies, but
Lucas was the producer in charge of everything and co-scriptwriter. Those
movies also made a ton of money. Funny he didn't stop working altogether
during his divorce isnt it?

Anakin's mom was the only woman (with a speaking part) in Episode I.
(There was a child-queen that had a bigger part).

Interesting, I just read a CNN article about the changes Lucas made
for the DVD editions of the first trilogy. It appears that in the
Empire Strikes Back, the Emperor is in fact (trivia question!) played
by a woman wearing an Emperor mask, with the voice being done by actor
Clive Revill. In Return of the Jedi of course, as well as in the
first trilogy, the Emperor is played by actor Ian McDiarmid. So now,
by the miracle of modern technology, McDiarmid now has the part in
Empire Strikes Back.
Lucas has also been tinkering with Jabba the Hut, and we get a new,
improved, and better Jabba.

Sigh. I liked the original three movies in their original form. I
didn't think the gee-whiz special effects were an improvement.

Personally, I would have preferred to get the movies as I saw them originally.
Why mess with success?

The song that Sny Snootles does in Jabba's Hut is also different,
as is the Ewok Celebration.

You might not have noticed, but the "victory song" from #3 (ROTJ), with the
Ewoks and all, which I did think was "funky", was replaced by a different song
when episodes 4-6 were re-released prior to episode 1.

Re resp:320: That was the worst change of all. It doesn't move the plot
along and the aliens are about as convincing as Muppets.
