nah, just slow.

the biggest blooper of all appears to be insufficient lighting.

Is that the blooper reel easter egg from the DVD set?

I immediately thought of this: I'm Captain of...the Millenium...Falcon. Chewie here...tells me...you're looking for passage...to the...Alderaan System" /Walken.

Cool.

Yeah, if memory serves this is the same blooper reel that's on the DVD.

OK, I figured out how to make this load in a separate QT player rather than the browser so I don't have to look at a 70MB download in a 1 inch wide window, but where are the brightness/contrast controls in QT? (What howling fantods said.)

AstroGuy -- brightness/contrast controls are only available in QT Pro if I'm not mistaken.

That was great. Natalie Portman has the best fucking laugh...

This explains why Vader eventually needed that suit.

Great post.

This is awesome, cracked me right up. Although, it's a horrible pity that some of the cuts from the prequels were more funny than anything that actually happened in the script, that R2 unit seems to have some serious issues.

I have to say I agree with Natalie in the very last blooper, those were my exact sentiments all through Ep II.

oh, an easter egg on dvd... do you (or anyone) know how to crack the egg??

Thanks for the laughs, and to chicobangs for the link. And I agree with notsnot.
