Happy Star Wars Day, everyone!

May the Fourth Be With You!

Yes, it's old. But it's so old it's traditional!!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Star Wars Day? Release date of the first film?

As long as this is not about the Star Wars Christmas Special

Well, yeah. So do we have twelve Star Wars Days every year?

Don't worry, I usually don't get any punts around here. But this time I got it right from the start

Probably my English is getting better reading all those nice topic on this board.

I didn't think I'd ever write that, but... OhEmEffGee!

And with just 45 minutes to go (here in the UK) - I present my friend John Chapman, author/creator of Jonnie Rocket, X-wing pilot (New Hope) meets Darth Vader I mean David Prowse



Jonnie Rocket Website

Awesome photo DH, I love David Prowse's Bugs Bunny tie!
Did you say John Chapman is one of the x-wing pilots in the first film? how cool is that!! Does he get as far as the trench battle at the end or is he shot down before that? I haven't watched Star Wars for ages, i'll have to have a big watch-them-all-in-1-day fest next holidays!

Sadly the scene of him in the cockpit was cut from the final release - but he's in the briefing room during the discussion on how to attack the Death Star plain as day - I've got a still somewhere (I may have already posted it before...)

Fanfic has subsequently given him the title Red 12: Drifter - as there was no official title given to his character in the credits

fingers crossed, he may still turn up in the cockpit yet, i'm sure i read somewhere about another edition of the film coming out at some point - with loads of previously unused footage bundled with it in the extras - maybe for some sort of blu-ray release i think
