Ho hum, there are no laughs in this one; and this Luke meeting Leia scene is getting a bit drawn-out. He does utter the immortal—and corny “I’m here to rescue you” line, but I bet I never once thought of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
early 1978 | age 9 Beautiful—are you sure? “……YOUR MORE BEUTIFULL THAN I THOUGHT” One of the first attempts to extol Leia’s beauty! 9 or 10 year old boys really don’t have much of an appreciation of the opposite sex’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1977?/1978 | age 9 That’s it. Make sure she’s dead before you even rescue her. Luke’s nose looks a bit sideways? Like an Irish TV newsreader (or is that just their weird lighting? I’ve never been able to decide). Cor,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1983? | age 14–15? Not much to laugh at today, I’m afraid! Here’s my 14 or 15 year old self acting more like a proper comic artist. I really wanted to be one, right up to art college. My flatmate[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

And we’re off: Part 6 begins. The interrogation of Princess Leia, from around 1978. This scene in the film always brings a smile – oddly enough! Are you injecting – or skewering me?” Look! A floating robot turnip! Are you injecting[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This might originally have followed the « film-noir page that you saw a few days ago. What an incredibly pared-down Star Wars adaptation my ’77 original was! It must have been charming before half of it went into the bin (sob[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
