OOOOOWW! A garbage shute chute!

When I get to this bit in the film I realise that's it's all bang-bang-bang: non-stop excitement. From one perilous situation into another. And this - this - is the scene in which the trio of Hamill, Ford and Fisher really find their stride. Much to George's annoyance it seems! Far too much improv. The interplay is exciting and funny. Can you imagine if Ford had never auditioned for this? Christopher Walken would've been pretty good, and charismatic - but maybe a bit restrained and definitely creepy. Kurt Russell would be pretty good too, but for me - not as likeable.

Howard Chaykin's Marvel version (thief!)

I swear to God - Howard Chaykin must have had a camera concealed in my house. His version looks just like my own.

In the top panel a corner has been added to the corridor that wasn't there previously. But I suppose it:

A.) Gives the Stormtroopers a believable excuse for not firing a single decent shot - between the lot of them - down a narrow corridor at a group of 4 people who are standing around having an argument

B.) Gives more options for composition.

Thanks for reading! Care to comment?
