Subj:	RE: different Versions of Star Wars I

On opening day, Star Wars (now SW 4/ANH) did not make any mention of future
or 'past' se/pre/quels.  That only happened after it was out for a while.  I
did not see the "Episode Eye-Vie- ..." stuff until TESB was released.

There are also some scenes cut out from earlier versions:  Does anyone
remember hearing a Steam-Trooper shouting "Close the blast doors, close the
blast doors!" while Con Solo and the Cookie Monster were being chased back
toward the Falcon?  The "Open the blast doors, open the blast doors!" is still
there, but the effect isn't quite so funny w/o hearing the same guy mis-time it
a couple of seconds earlier.  In fact, if you know when it is, you can get a
great reaction from the crowd by shouting it in a Steam-Trooper imitation voice
at the right time!        There are other scenes missing, too, but the clarity
of memory...

Subj: RE: The Emp sensing Yoda

Why should the Emperor sense Yoda in any special way?  Yoda's "disturbance of
the force" has been there for centuries.  The big E could not have been around
for more than a couple hundred years (he seems quite powerful, but in ANH, he
has only recently completed his hold on the senate).  Yoda's disturbance
could very well be considered a steady back-ground signal to new-comers.  Only
by close proximity would the difference be sensed, and Yoda's home planet
seems to be somewhat remote, making random flybys by random Jedi unlikely.

                  "For Monagar, forever..."
