I was at FBTB today and Tim posted the 2001 sets as being accurate. I owe Jorge an apology for telling people his post was a joke. I guess the $9.99 AT- ST was just to unbelievable to me. Jorge, I am sorry for my unfounded verbal attack. Now I know (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I wasn't really directing that at you, Nick, but just as a sort of general comment. Personally, I'm a subtitles man. I LIKED hearing all the alien languages in the original trilogy. ~M (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

You know, the first time I heard them, I didn't think it was an Asian accent. I don't think we should blame ol' George for our own racisms being ascribed to his movie. Still, I think he shoulda kept subtitles, just to cover his bum. ~Mark (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
