Half of the last six posts are Lucas-related?

Cut him some slack, he was just starting out. You know how hard it is to shoot on-location in Mos Eisley? You'll be lucky to come back with half your equipment and your crew not sold into slavery/for organs.

Excellent. I love the shot of C3PO catching a smoke.

Guy goes out and ganks a bunch of Star Wars pics from other sites without attributing to the original sources. Nice.

Also:

You’d better believe that. Its basically like this: Luke Skywalker: New York, Princess Leia: Los Angeles, Han Solo and Darth Vader: Minneapolis.

WTF?

So that large pit underneath the Millennium Falcon, that's for stormtroopers to fall into emitting the Wilhelm Scream as they are shot by improbably accurate blaster shots?

Or maybe for cameras & stuff. Anyway, looks dangerous.

God, that site is fucked. Probably the most annoying slideshow of awesome nerdery I've had the misfortune to delight in. Thanks (bastards)!

The other woman is Fisher's body double.

I'd seen this previously and always thought it was a cool moment: two ladies catching a break on the set. The second Leia is her double and I always thought kind of better looking than Carrie Fisher.

Also, movie magic, hunky Harrison, Blanco Fett, Greedo practices shooting first, Pabst?

Sadly, Harrison cannot outfox Disco Mark.
