Do like... whatever.

I think that should really read
"You must do what you feel IS RIGHT - of course."

Not just sort of
"Just do whatever you feel like".

This was one of my favourite lines delivered by Guinness. I bet he added the 'of course' bit himself. Alec Guinness was always marvelous at portraying the devious side of human nature.

Mechanical Stalkers

It's gas this page. See the Landspeeder?

I've often heard the remark about how the Eiffel Tower can be seen from every apartment window in Paris. In Hollywood movies. Or is it - like the Landspeeder on this page some sort of weird mechanical stalker? It reminds me of an animated segment that Terry Gilliam did for Monty Python's Flying Circus in which a 1940's English terraced house breaks free of its neighbours and goes on a killing spree. It even silently sneaks up on its victims!

Or maybe the Landspeeder just wanted to be on camera? Waving to its mum and dad, or giving the thumbs up like kids do, behind outside broadcast news reporters. Hey, the twin suns are doing it too!

But seriously folks, seriously...

In the actual film they really had to do a bit of this. For the Rebel Base hangar scenes, they only had a 1 X-Wing and 1 Y-Wing available, so every time they took a shot they had to wheel them about behind the actors so it'd look as if there were loads of them. Funny really!

Scarred - scarred I tell you!

See the two scars added to Luke's face? I mentioned these last Wednesday and discussed them few weeks ago. These were added retrospectively - after I saw post-production shots of Mark Hamill's post-car crash face. You'll see more of those. Seriously, all through this comic I went about adding them to finished drawings. Wanted to lend a bit more authenticity I suppose. Doesn't make sense! He suffered the injuries just near the end of the shooting of the film.
