Indiana Jones vs. Han Solo

[angelordevil]

The best part is the line scripted was "I love you, too." Harrison Ford went to George Lucas or Irvin Kershner, not sure who, and asked to have it changed.

I saw that on an A&E special a few weekends ago.

I think it should tell us all something that the poll keeps tying

Empire of Dreams?

That was a great doc about the original Star Wars movies.

How badass would Return of the Jedi had been if:

Leia wasn't Luke's sister
Instead of fighting on Endor with friggin' Ewoks, it was on Coruscant (Imperial Capital)
More Lando
Other smugglers got into the final battle (maybe Han and Lando had to recruit them?)

The last 2 are my suggestions, but the first one almost did happen. It makes you think what would've happened if Gary Kurtz worked on Jedi and the prequels with George Lucas instead of bolting after Empire.

This will all come down to Florida.

Empire of Dreams?

That was it...I loved it! I don't usually get sucked in by something on television these days, but that was intoxicating. It's amazing how much was on the line for Lucas & company leading up to the release...and how other studios passed on it. It would've been interesting for sure if Kurtz had stayed...maybe more real, and less sentimental. The prequels would've been much better.

Also interesting how Yoda was developed, based on the designer himself...and partially on Albert Einstein, from what I recall.

And Harrison Ford was almost passed-over as Han

Billy Dee Williams (later Lando), Kurt Russell, and Christopher Walken also auditioned for Han. I thought the Walken audition was just a joke for SNL

The HBO channels have been playing all of the Star Wars all month long. Right now I'm watching Star Wars: A New Hope.

Has there been a poll which has ever received more votes than this?

I've seen onewith over 100 votes, but I can't recall what it was for

 

[Utoo]

Whoah-----Indy's extending the lead today. What's going on?

 

[LJT]

God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit decided to vote as the Trinity instead of just as God......hence recognising Indy as the One True God before all others

A 100 vote poll hmm

Come on guys we can beat that
