Older updates January 5, 2000

The THX 1138 section has been updated with a thumbnailed index of snapshots, and most importantly a rare original script from the movie with many cut scenes. Someone recently found it, scanned all the pages and converted it to a text file for this site. Go check it out by clicking here.

December 15, 1999

I have finally launched the THX 1138 section. The site includes my new interview with actor Don Pedro Colley, who you might know from Beneath the Planet of the Apes, The Dukes of Hazzard, or of course THX 1138. It's a great interview so please take the time to read it. Besides the interview, the THX 1138 section includes pictures and videos from the movie with lots more to come.
Additionally, I have added the American Graffiti trailer in .mpg format to the American Graffiti section, so check that out too!

December 6, 1999

A new message board has finally been set up. It is a lot better than that complicated one we had before with too many useless functions. This one is quick and easy. So please take a look and post something.
Then, I am proud to announce that I have completed an interview with THX-1138-star Don Pedro Colley and I hope to have it up later this week. Please come back soon because it's really good.
Besides our own message board, affiliate GalaxyFarAway.com has also set up a new board. You can find it here.
I'm also glad that the REAL Yavin 4 is back! The original, and by far the best :P It is now hosted by old-republic.net, and it's located at http://yavin.old-republic.net".
Finally, please read this article by Mike Cooper (not me, another Mike) at old-republic.net. You will find it here and I think everyone should read it.

November 16, 1999

http://chat.lucasfan.com is now working. Try it now! I am in there much of the time, but if I'm not you can leave a message with my skybot who is in there at all times. Additionally, swtv.lucasfan.com is now also working, and I hope to have updates to it soon.
Then, be sure to come back soon because I will have a new interview with an actor who has worked with George Lucas. You'll definetely recognize him if you have seen THX-1138.
Then, if you haven't yet, please read my editorial about wattographs.com (and wattographs.NET too, it appears) because it's a good warning about who you share your ideas with. I had to learn it the hard way, unfortunately. Please tell your friends to read it, too.
On a more positive note, LucasFan.com is now affiliated with GalaxyFarAway.com. It's a great site so go check it out.
One last thing. If you have any pictures from the movie THX-1138 that you could possibly scan or have already scanned, please send them over. I would like to include them in my future THX-1138 movie section, but most importantly I need them for the interview I have coming up. Thanks ;)

November 9, 1999

I have written two new bits for the round-up editorial section. Access it on your left, and let me know what you think by e-mailing me.

November 5, 1999

Sorry for the lack of updates. I just finally set up the cgi on the main page so now I can start updating regularly again. My e-mail is now also finally working, so you can e-mail me at skywalker8@lucasfan.com again.

October 19, 1999

We're back! Please pardon the dust, there's heavy construction going on. The site has been down for about a month, but now we're back and here to stay. What was supposed to be a simple server-switch turned out to be almost like a nightmare. Here's what happened: I used to be hosted by NovaTech Web Services. I thought I had found what I thought was a better deal at another company, so I got ready to switch. Well, was I wrong about that company. It turned out to be a little punk who didn't even have a server yet. So I was without a server for a while. Then I found the nice guys at Fairgame who agreed to host this site for free if I put an advertisement on each page. I thought that was a great deal, so I was all ready to get it switched... In the meantime, my old IP number was recycled, so whenever anyone tried going to www.lucasfan.com, they would arrive at a Star Wars Mush page. After that, Network Solutions was being extremely slow, so it took a very long time to finally get everything switched. But now we're back and better than ever. For our launch, check the Star Wars Home Theater and see what we have up now, in association with Jedinet and BladeZone! Thanks again for your patience and please spread the word that LucasFan.com is back.

August 13, 1999

The brand new STAR WARS TV layout is here. Click to go there now: http://www.lucasfan.com/swtv - and let me know what you think. There are also some new pictures of several rare programs.
There are also some changes and additions in WILLOW@LucasFan.com, so click on the banner below to go there.

August 01, 1999

The new WILLOW section has finally been launched. Click to go: http://www.lucasfan.com/willow and tell us what you think. I'm also re-working the Star Wars TV section, so stay tuned.

July 30, 1999

You can now get your own @lucasfan.net e-mail account for FREE! Just scroll down and sign up and within minutes you're ready to go.

July 20, 1999

Well, I'm back from the Chicago Comic Con, and I had a lot of fun. I still have to write a report on it, though. In the meantime, check out Star Wars As Seen on TV, which I updated with a section about the two Sesame Street episodes that featured R2-D2 and C-3PO.

July 14, 1999

VCR Alert and Lucas Spotting have been moved from the main site to their own section in the News. I will still update both regularly, so keep an eye on it. Meanwhile, some BIG news can be found in the news section. Paramount is finally releasing the Indiana Jones trilogy in widescreen on video, along with the long-promised Young Indiana Jones series. I'm heading off to the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con soon, and I'll have a full report up when I return.

July 04, 1999

I updated the Ewoks and Droids Animated Series site with an interview with Peter van Hoof. He did the voice of C-3PO on the Dutch Droids show. Go read it, it's a good one. The interview is courtesy of ITHOR.

June 27, 1999

I added the 'News Center' below with news from this site's news-sources and also the latest world and entertainment news. I know the page is getting too long again, so I will probably have to get rid of either the News Center or the VCR Alert/LucasSpotting. They wouldn't actually disappear, but just move to my news page. Which do you think should go?
Also, I am working very hard with Taalcon from 'Willow: The Thirteen Realms' and some other people on a new Willow site. It will appear here very soon.
Finally, I have a BIG exclusive interview coming up. I won't tell you with who it is, but it is one of the supporting cast-members of Star Wars that was in all 4 films!

June 21, 1999

I made a few changes today. I took the suggested books off the main page. It took a while to load, so I put it in its own section along with good deals on the movies George Lucas was involved with. In association with Reel.com, you can order movies through this site. I have selected all of Lucas' movies. The majority of these are fairly hard to find at local stores, so you can order them very easily at fair prices. Click here to enter the store.
There is a new Lucas site on the web that you should check out regularly: http://lucasnews.roosh.com ; it is a great site, and it promises the latest news about anything Lucas-related. There is no news yet, but it's supposed to be coming soon.
Also, I have opened the new Chat Room. Head over to CHAT/MSG if you prefer to chat in java, or if you use a program like pirch or mirc, the necessary information is under the menu-bar. I am in there regularly, so stop by!

June 12, 1999

I apologize for the recent lack of updates. I have been building a new site, Planet Chat, which is a celebrity chat site. I'm making it together with BobaBrett of SirStevesGuide.com, and it's being sponsored by Echostation! Doing it this way will make it easier for us to do celebrity chats, with a specialized chatroom and a seperate website with a schedule. Femi 'Oola' Taylor will kick off the chat series (sorry, no date yet) and after that many actors from Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Planet of the Apes, and all your favorite sci-fi movies and TV programs. Now, don't expect Harrison Ford or Mark Hamill, but some pretty familiar faces will drop by. I will let you know when the site is finished, and when Femi Taylor will be chatting.
Now, some other stuff:
*Don't forget June 19 is Star Wars Fan Day. Take all your friends and go see The Phantom Menace.
*Check out these cool sites:
-Yoda's Whacked Star Wars Comedy Theatre
-JediTalk - don't miss a single show!
-Star Wars meets Tiny Toons? A hilarious site with great artwork
-Snoovakuk's Star Wars Web Page - Great Ewok movie stuff
-Trav's Page. This guy did some neat graphics for this site (the Ewoks and Droids Collective logo, and the upcoming Star Wars Home Theater logo) and his site is really cool.

June 04, 1999

This site was on MTV Music Television again yesterday... twice even. They featured it on The Hot Zone at 10 am EST, and I've been told they talked about it for about 2 minutes and had a lot of good stuff to say about it. Then the show was re-broadcasted at 1 am, only they edited it to feature more music videos in it, so this time you only saw the site for a couple seconds. I didn't see it the first time, but I did in the re-run. Thanks, MTV :)

June 01, 1999

LucasFan.com was featured on MTV on May 30 during their Isle of MTV special. They apparently showed several sites, including a quick glimpse of this one, during the 5-hour program. Thanks to Java VB C for the info!
June 19, mark your calendar, is Star Wars Fan Day. Take everyone you know to see Episode I on June 19! For more information, go here.
Also, if you are interested on a good deal for several Star Wars books including the new Visual Dictionary, go to http://www.dk-books-cds.com/starwars.html and you will get 30% or more off! Mention T'Bone ( http://www.starwarz.com ) when you order and you are automatically entered into a drawing to receive a free Battle Droid stand-up. The hardcover books even come with exclusive posters!
Finally, my congradulations to George Lucas and everyone at Lucasfilm Ltd. for breaking yet another record (and another, and another) - this time the $200 million mark!

May 31, 1999

Here are some section's I'm working on or will be working on soon:
-Star Wars Autographs section: take a look, I'm totally redoing it. I still have to add many more pictures and sections. I hope to have it done in a few days.
-A section about THX 1138:4EB Electronic Labyrinth, George Lucas' acclaimed student short film. Expect some cool information and a bunch of pictures.
-Book reviews: Science of Star Wars, George Lucas Close Up: The Making of his Movies, George Lucas: The Creative Impulse, and The Making of Episode I, and more.
I still want to add some more stuff. If you have any suggestions, or if you would like to help with something, please let me know.

May 19, 1999

I watched The Phantom Menace this morning at 12:01 a.m. If you remember my post earlier this month about the Denver Celebration, you'll recall that I met Rick McCallum, who visits this site, and asked me to tell him what I thought about the movie on my site. So, at his request (how nice it is to brag about that ;)) here is what I thought of the movie:

It Was AWESOME!

This movie was a roller-coaster ride from beginning to end. I can't wait to see it again and again... My favorite characters are definetely Captain Panaka, Mace Windu, Senator Palpatine, and Amidala. This will definetely keep me happy for another thousand days, after which I can start anticipating Episode II.
Sure, Jar Jar was a little bit annoying in the middle of the movie, but I think he will grow on me very quickly. The Force is with George Lucas and the cast and crew who made this movie!

May 15, 1999

If you have trouble keeping your Ewoks apart because they all look alike, take a look at a document that I wrote about Ewok geneology. It is an Ewok Family Tree with the 22 most important characters. From the Warricks and Chief Chirpa's family, to the death of the wood-cutter and the impeachment of Logray. It's all here: http://www.lucasfan.com/caravanofcourage/famtree.html

May 14, 1999

Today is George Lucas's birthday. Happy Birthday! He turns 55.

May 10, 1999

I have finally finished the Ewok Adventure: Caravan of Courage site. You can access it here in the Ewoks and Droids Collective. Please let me know what you think.

May 03, 1999

I just got back from the Denver Celebration, and also the 12:01 opening of Toys 'R Us. I had a blast, and you can read my complete report below in 'Round-Up'. It's a bit long but it's really great. You'll find out about my encounters with Ray Park, Pernilla August, Hugh Quarshie, and many more, including Rick McCallum, who said he visits this site all the time. Hi Rick! So be sure to read the report! Also, later on visit Cinescape.com. A lot of the stuff they have up is based on questions I asked at the convention. They have some exact quotes I don't have in my report.

April 26, 1999

Just a few more days until the Official Star Wars Celebration in Denver. As a tribute to one of the victims of the Denver high school shooting - Steven Robert Curnow - Gary Price and Mike Wells of http://www.autographcentral.com are trying to get Decipher to make a special CCG card for him. They are holding a petition at http://www.autographcentral.com/curnow_petition.html and will present it to Decipher at the Denver Celebration. So go sign your name and we can make this happen!
Additionally, I will be at the Denver Celebration, too. Don't hesitate to come up and talk to me if you see me. I'm 6'5" tall, brown hair, and I will be wearing a LucasFan.com T-shirt with a long-sleave shirt under it. The LucasFan.com logo is on the front and back of the shirt, although if it's cold I might be wearing my coat. See you there! Finally, here's a little site I'm making for the younger audiences: The Ewoks and Droids Collective. Ewok-haters aren't welcome. Have fun!

April 23, 1999

I have made a MAJOR update to VCR Alert, as well as a little addition to the Lucas Spotting sections. They are below, scroll down.

April 18, 1999

I have updated the Literature section, and I have also changed the broken booklink in the Book of the Month. Additionally, you can order all four Episode I novels through this site at 40% off ($10 per book, $40 if you get all four).

April 17, 1999

I have added a new section to the line-up. This is actually a replacement for the editorial column. It's called Roundup and you can find it in the News section. You will also find a list of recent Roundups at the end of the updates on this page. Roundup gives me the opportunity to comment on several issues in the world of Star Wars and Lucasfilm. Today I wrote about the upcoming Denver Celebration and my thoughts on it. Also, for a limited time Barnes and Nobles is offering 40% OFF on the upcoming Episode I The Phantom Menace novelization! Pre-order yours today! It will ship in just two weeks. Finally, young Anakin Skywalker himself, Jake Lloyd, actually visited the CountingDown.com line at the Mann's Chinese Theatre. To all of you who ever had any doubts in them or ever said anything bad about them: HA!

April 12, 1999

This is my second update today... How about a little self-promotion? I was looking through Infoseek.com and found my own site. They have a system to rank several sites, and they ranked LucasFan.com, too. One star stands for 'good', two stars means the site is 'very good', and the 'best' site is represented by three stars. I am very proud that LucasFan.com has been rated with *** (three stars)!!

April 12, 1999

I updated VCR Alert a few days ago - it seems to have already expired a bit... Also, will you be attending the official convention in Denver at the end of the month? If so, I'll see you there! Finally, there is a poor soul on the net who needs some attention. Instead of asking for it straight-forward, he decided to write an article putting down Star fandom to get attention for his ill-fated newspaper (a Free Press publication, what else?). Go read it. Don't take it too seriously, though. It's a publicity stunt to get media attention for the publication. It's at http://www.freep.com/voices/columnists/qmitch11.htm Oh, and look at his picture. Who did he call 'geek', eh?

April 08, 1999

I added a cgi-bin updating script today, so I can update this page faster. I will try and get a new VCR Alert schedule up very soon.

April 08, 1999

I have finally added the new poll this month. Please vote your opinion. I have also updated VCR Alert. I will leave the Episode I novelization as book of the month for another month. Finally, I sent out newsletter #2 yesterday. If you are not a subscriber and you still want to read it, you can click on the View List Archive link at the subscription area.

4/3/99

I have finally added the new poll this month. Please vote your opinion. I have also updated VCR Alert. I will leave the Episode I novelization as book of the month for another month. Finally, I sent out newsletter #2 yesterday. If you are not a subscriber and you still want to read it, you can click on the View List Archive link at the subscription area.

3/29/99

I hope you saw George Lucas on 60 Minutes last night. It was a great piece, with some neat Episode I clips. Last week I added a little section here on the main page with 'VCR Alert' and 'Lucas Spotting'. This will keep you up to date on what's on television and also what George Lucas is up to now (the latter for those of you who aren't that familiar with him). Additionally, I am seeking insiders who might be able to provide Indy IV news. E-mail me if that's you. Finally, SonicNet and CineMachine are now partially sponsoring this site - so please click on their banners.

3/15/99

The Indiana Jones IV news page has been updated.

3/5/99

I have added another review of the second Droids episode to the Star Wars animated series sections in Star Wars As Seen on TV. Additionally, there is some new news in the literature section, and you can also pre-order Terry Brooks' Episode I novelization. Barnes&Nobles is the cheapest place to do it ($7.50 off). It will ship May 3rd. Follow the link to your right. On a side note, I made that cover myself. It's not real (obviously) and I hope to replace it with the real one as soon as it becomes available.

2/21/99

The new literature section is going strong. I did the same with the NEWS section, and it is being updated multiple times a day with the latest news. Finally, movie critic Gene Siskel died yesterday. I was an avid fan of his reviews, so I hope to have some rare clips of his reviews of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies on this site in the near future.

2/15/99

I have updated the Ewoks and Droids site with the first Droids episode review. In addition to that, I have overhauled the Literature page. It is now updated constantly with the latest news from Lucas-related print.

2/7/99

Star Wars As Seen on TV has been updated once again, with the long-awaited Ewoks and Droids cartoons section. I made this together with Ryan of swdatabase.com, and we've been meaning to make it for more than a year! SWD celebrates its second anniversary today, and they have lots of new features and updates lined up. Ryan and I started making our pages around the same time, and we've helped eachother out quite a bit the last two years. Besides the new cartoons section, I also updated my Indiana Jones File with a great new collection of pictures courtesy of T'Bone of starwarz.com. Please let me know what you think of the cartoons section.

2/6/99

I have updated Star Wars As Seen on TV with a new soundclip from Carrie Fisher's Saturday Night Live episode, and I have also launched a new section about The Richard Pryor Show. One of his skits was set in the Cantina and features lots of the original props and costumes.

1/27/99

I have updated the American Graffiti section in Lucas' Films. I have also selected the new book and poll of the month.

1/24/99

I have relaunched the ancient VCR Alert... somewhat. It now appears below, on the main page. Let me know if you've got any information. Also, check Interviews for a log of Dan Wallace' chat.

1/13/99

Aaron Snyder has updated the Holiday Special F.A.Q. list again. He has added some very interesting tidbits on George Lucas' involvement in the show, and more. You can check it out here. And don't forget the Dan Wallace chat tonight at 7 pm EST.

1/8/99

I don't have any updates today, but I want to remind you about the Dan Wallace chat Wednesday, the 13th, at 7 pm EST. Second, I am setting up a big Battlestar Galactica page with Hiphats of Superman 60/20, and we need a lot of help! If you would like to help with graphics, writing, etc., let one of us know. With your help we hope to unveil 'Galactica 2000' very soon! Finally, I'd just like to say a word about the fact that George Lucas said in the latest issue of Vanity Fairthat he isn't making Star Wars Episodes 7-9. Don't take it too serious. Some people brought out loads of old quotes (and I can add at least a dozen more to them), and these showed that Lucas obviously changes his mind a lot. He has said that he isn't doing the sequels before... many times in fact. Why are we suddenly making such a big deal about it? He has also said many times that he WILL make the sequels, some of these instances have even happened while he was making Episode I. His answer isn't definite! Just wait until he's finished with the prequels before you can take him serious about this matter.

1/2

Star Wars Theatre has been updated... but most important: My interview with Femi Taylor (Oola) has been launched! Go to the Interviews section on the menubar to your right to get there!

1998:

12/30

I have updated Autographs with a counter and some pictures that accompany both issues of DackF's column.

12/26

The Indiana Jones wing of this site has finally been launched. Go to Lucas' Films and then to Indiana Jones Trilogy. Let me know what you think of it. It isn't 100% finished, so keep that in mind. Also, don't forget the Dan Wallace chat January 13th. I hope you can be there because it will be a lot of fun...

12/16

A special announcement: Dan Wallace (Essential Guide to Planets and Moons, Essential Guide to Droids, What's What in the Phantom Menace) will be chatting live in the LucasFan chatroom Wednesday, January 13, 1999, at 7 pm EST. I will have a website with a banner and more information very soon. Also, check out the latest Autograph collecting column in Autographs. In this second issue, Anthony shares his experiences of meeting Princess Leia herself - Carrie Fisher. Don't get too jealous! Finally, if you are up to date with everything in the Indiana Jones universe, you might want to visit Indy-World as they are looking for someone to take over with news and updates.

12/12

The one and only Dave Dorman will be chatting at coruscant-sp.com tonight at 8:00 pm EST. Go to their site or follow the banner below to get there. Also, I launched the American Graffiti/More American Graffiti section. I hope you enjoy it.

12/7

Head to News again for some news about Mark Hamill's upcoming appearance on The Simpsons. Second, check back in a few days to see the completed American Graffiti site. Finally, I will be sending Femi Taylor (Oola) an interview tomorrow (Tuesday). If you have any last-minute questions you'd like to ask, please let me know ASAP. As well, my questions for Drewe Henley (Red Leader) will be sent out by the end of the week. Please send over any good questions you might have right now if you want me to include them. I should have the interview with Femi Taylor back within a week or so; Drewe Henley's will take at least several months.

12/3

Head to News for some breaking news about Indy IV. Also, I forgot to mention it last time - Lucasfilm's Alien Chronicles has been updated with information about the third entry in the trilogy.

12/1

Great news! The Radioland Murders section has been added. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Just to remind you, Radioland Murders is a movie that George Lucas made in 1994 about a Chicago radio-station's live debut broadcast evening. Then, it's a new month, so there's a new Book of the Month and a new Poll. I thought of this poll when I read a new article about Lucas' merchandising over at Echo Station. Although I mostly do agree with the article, I'm pretty sure many of you don't. So please vote and discuss it further in the Message Boards. Finally, check this site in the next few days for more information on the rumored Indiana Jones and the Lost Continent title for the fourth Indy movie. If you're clueless about this Lost Continent rumor, go to Jawad's Steven Spielberg Page and check the news for November 27.

11/22

I hope you had a nice Life Day (as if any of you actually thought about it Tuesday - I for one didn't. The prequel trailer overshadowed it for me). Today I updated Autographs (in Features) with many new signed pictures, and also a new column by the Steve Sansweet of the Star Wars autograph collectors - Go to the Autographs section for more information!

11/16

More about the Holiday Special 20th Anniversary! Aaron Snyder has updated the Holiday Special F.A.Q. and Hiphats of Superman 60/20 has contributed an article about the SWHS called Lost in the Stars. You can access both at the Holiday Special Page in Star Wars As Seen on TV, which in turn is in the Features section; or just click on the links right here and you'll get there, too. Thanks to Aaron and Hiphats, and have a happy Life Day!

11/15

This Tuesday (the 17th) will mark the 20th anniversary of the Star Wars Holiday Special. To celebrate this EVENT, Lucasfilm is treating us fans to special advanced screenings of the Episode I trailer! Beware though, it's showing "On November 17th Only". After that it will start showing on the 20th. Go to starwars.com to read more about this Holiday Special 20th anniversary celebration and to find out when and where the trailer will show! Also, Star Wars Theatre (in the features section) is showing the Holiday Special in Real Video all this month. Have a happy Life Day!

11/9

I don't have any updates, but this site has been featured 'In the Spotlight' at The Mining Co.'s Star Wars section!

11/5

How do you like the new layout? MANY thanks to Exar of Yavin 4 for creating it. Please check out all the sections to your right... there have been a lot of additions and subtractions. Here's what's new: News - there are now different sections for different topics; Features - this is the original list of features, with the ORHP, SWTV, Star Wars Theatre, and everything else; Lucas' Films - this giant of a section includes information about every movie that Lucas was involved in; Interviews - hasn't changed, although a new interview with Drewe Henley will appear here soon; Literature - sections for SW, Indy, and other books, including a brand new Alien Chronicles section; Chat/MSG - the original message board and chat system; Humor/Fun - includes the Java Jawa, Ask Yoda, and more; More - includes everything else.Note that not everything in all the subsections is working... there's still a long way to go, but there's enough for you to look around here for quite a while! Please give me and Exar your feedback on the new layout in the message boards. We hope you'll enjoy it.

10/17

Go check out the new layout for the Books page. I also got an autograph from Phantom Menace actor Hugh Quarshie (Captain Panaka). Finally, I hope to have the new look for this site very soon.

10/13

Great news today! No, no updates... but I got a letter and an autograph from Drewe Henley, Red Leader. You can expect an exclusive interview with him on this page in the near future. Also, I got the NEW INSIDER. There are interviews with Hugh Quarshie, Richard Le Parmentier (FINALLY! I've been waiting years to find out about Parmentier), some prequel pictures, but the most interesting of all is to be seen on page 27, where Anthony Daniels (who played C-3PO) mentions my name (Michael Streeter, that is) in his 'You Write:' section. Sure, it's from a letter I wrote him nearly two years ago, and in retrospect it's kind of a question I now would feel ashamed of asking anyone, but a mention's a mention, and I'm happy with it! It really made up for the fact that the Insider is now printing on cheaper paper ;) Star Wars Insider #40 should arrive at your doorstep or your local store soon (if it hasn't already). It has a Battle Droid on the cover, and there's not a sign of purple!

10/6

Purple? What's that?

I updated Star Wars As Seen on TV. Also, if you haven't noticed yet, there is a new Star Wars website called NewsDroid. This site is affiliated with it, and it's dedicated to bringing you the latest Star Wars news all the time. Make Newsdroid your first stop each time you come online! It is mine, too.

10/1

Have you gotten rid of that purple yet?? I changed the Book of the Month, and This Month's Poll, at the bottom of this page. I'm busy making a different look for LF.C, and I'm also still editing the book section. I updated Java Jawa, Books, Star Wars Theatre, and some other stuff. Behold!

9/27

I'm trying to get a new format, and it will launch very soon, with lots of new features, including all those sections about each individual Lucas film. I'm also thinking about doing something special for the American Graffiti 25th anniversary. If you have any good ideas, let me know. Speaking of AmGraf (I think I'm gonna call it for short from now on...), there's two things you ought to get at the store: The American Graffiti 25th Anniversary videocassette or DVD (It has the digitally remastered and fully restored movie with a making of feature (with the DVD it's an hour-long feature!)), and Behind the Magic! Finally, I want to share my thoughts on something regarding the Episode I title: It's NOT PURPLE! You guys are all associating it with that stupid Billy Zane movie The Phantom. Stop that! Purple is not the color you want to think of... think of orange, or green, or light blue instead, k?

~sky8

9/25

Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Get used to it!

9/15

Lots of updates today. Several new book reviews have been added, and about a dozen new topics have been inserted into the message boards. I'm still working on the Ewoks and Droids section, and it's coming about... Then another thing, you might have noticed that this page isn't very much about the films of George Lucas. My intention for this site was, most of all, to have a large section for each movie that Lucas has made with lots of information, tidbits, and multimedia. As of yet, I haven't launched any of those sections yet, but I will in the near future, and then this site will look a lot more like it's supposed to look. Many of you apparently didn't get that, so that's why I'm explaining what this site is all about right here :) Finally, be sure to reserve your copy of Behind the Magic, the upcoming CD-ROM with the cut Biggs footage and more, that will be released September 24th!

Yours truly wrote a review of the upcoming Eddie Murhpy movie Holy Man for Cinescape Online (www.cinescape.com). Go check it out. The movie itself won't hit theatres untill October 9. Also, be sure to post a message on the message boards. They're DYING!

9/7

The Books section has been updated with new reviews, a rating scale, and lots more. The trivia section has been repaired. Apparently, there was an error in the java scripting, and I took care of it - you should now be able to find the answers on the page. Finally, I have gotten rid of the section VCR Alert. It just took me too long to gather all the information, and there usually weren't any cool TV appearances anyway. If you are looking to find them yourself, point your browser to clicktv.com.

9/6

Star Wars As Seen On TV has been updated.

8/30

There's a new poll, and a new book of the month, and the trivia section has been updated, too.

8/29

Take a look at a review of the Star Wars Radio Drama in the Editorials section.

8/28

My interview with Michael Sheard (he was Admiral Ozzel in Empire Strikes Back, Adolf Hitler in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and also was in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Force 10 From Navarone (all four with Harrison Ford!)) has been posted. Go to the interviews section to find out what he thinks about Star Wars, Irvin Kerschner, Harrison Ford, conventions, and read about his new book, and more!

8/24

Star Wars TV has been updated, with three new sections: From Star Wars To Jedi: The Making Of A Saga, Saturday Night Live hosted by Carrie Fisher, and Chewbacca's appearance at the MTV Movie Awards. I also got an autograph from prequel actor Terence Stamp. Too bad I don't have a scanner...

8/21

The Links page has been updated, and we now have several banners you can use to link to LF.C. Besides that, the message boards have been completely redone, and they look really cool.

8/18

I need help, so I opened a section called 'Contribute'. I need people who would be willing to help me with this site. I also launched a new section called Java Jawa. I hope you like it.

Joy! The infamous Anchorhead scene (and several other excised scenes from Star Wars) will be released later this year on CD-ROM. It's still not 100% sure, but it's pretty damn close to it! Check Holonet News at TheForce.net for more details. I'll be putting the good news in the Release The Cut Scenes page, which will cease updating after that. Now I'm going to create 'Release ROTE' (Return of the Ewok). Check back for more details on that! Update: The Star Wars Holiday Special Page has been updated, in Star Wars TV, with a new FAQ by Aaron Snyder. Another Update: Take a peek at the new Editorials section.

8/15

Ask Yoda #2 is now up. Ask Yoda #1 is also still up for reads, at the bottom of the current volume. I also posted some new book reviews and pages. Also be sure to check out a cool new Indy site @ indy-world.com. It's definetely worth a visit. That's all.

8/13

Finally! George Lucas and Lucasfilm has been set up. Check it out if you do not know a lot about Lucas and Lucasfilm Ltd. Also, I'd like to remind you to check out my interview with Denny Delk in the interviews section, if you have not yet done so. A schedule for Star Wars Theatre has also been added. You might want to check it if you are going to watch some programs there. Book will be updated tomorrow with a few more book reviews, including one for Lucasfilm's Alien Chronicles. Finally, I think I forgot to mention at the beginning of the month that last month's poll will be held for another month.

So far I've only gotten positive feedback about Star Wars Theatre, so I guess it will launch in a few days. And before John Morton will do a chat or interview, we will post an exclusive interview with Denny Delk. He has been in many Lucasfilm projects, including Howard the Duck and More American Graffiti. He provided the voice of Wicket on the second season of the Ewoks animated series, and has also appeared in many LucasArts videogames, including Jedi Knight. You can also find him on television regularly: He is the guy who says 'Got Milk?' in those goofy milk commercials. I just sent out his questions earlier today, so the interview should be up soon. Update: My interview with Denny Delk has now been posted in the Interviews section.

8/11

The Novels page has been updated heavily, with some great new reviews for Jedi Search, The Paradise Snare, Tales from Jabba's Palace, and The Mandalorian Armor. I'm still looking for more reviews, especially for the Indiana Jones novels. Secondly, I'd like to announce that John Morton, the actor who portrayed Dack Ralter in The Empire Strikes Back (Luke's Snowspeeder buddy), will be doing an interview or a live chat in the LucasFan chat room! Mr. Morton is currently writing two stories about his character Dack for the Star Wars Adventure Journal or a new 'Tales From...' anthology, for Lucasfilm Ltd. Stay tuned! We'll give you all the details - you won't want to miss out on this! Finally, check out our new Star Wars Theatre section. It's something really unique in the Star Wars web universe that I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy. The actual Star Wars Theatre has not yet been launched, but I would like you to read what I have to say on that page anyway, as it is somewhat important. By the way, the FAQ's have been updated, too. Update: I just put up About LucasFan.com, too.
