shipperxOkay, was this special on A&E just a big ol commercial for "buy the new DVDs?" Um... think so.
That said, I was completely fascinated by the Kurt Russel audition for Han, the William Katt audition for Luke. Harrison just running lines and out of frame because... ya know, he was the carpenter and not "actually" auditioning. (Ya know... William Katt wouldn't have been a half bad Luke if he'd been given a haircut). There was also an audition of some girl for Leia. And it was really funny because when you saw the auditions of Hamil you just went -- nope. He's Luke. He IS Luke. Same with Ford and Fischer. Fischer on the whole was also a hoot. First she was talking about her weight problems in that they were always asking her to lose weight and how -- "Yeah, killing Jabba was nice. But I was more worried about walking around in that slave girl's costume."
Interesting factoids (but I really don't buy all of Lucas's angst in the last two of the initial trilogy. Oh whose he kidding. He was making a ton of money making the trilogy he wanted. Cry me a river over your financing woes. Whatever.
Oh, and we beat the shit out of Ole Miss last night. That always makes for a fun evening.
