It would be funny to post all 819 photos somewhere. But I do plan on making 11x17 prints at work to hang in the 435 gallery (aka my workspace).

Why yes, he did. From the Star Wars Script (Revised Fourth Draft): <br /><br />Ben is standing next to Chewbacca, an eight-foot-tall savage-looking creature resembling a huge grey bushbaby monkey with fierce baboon-like fangs. His large blue eyes dominate a fur-covered face and soften his otherwise awesome appearance. Over his matted, furry body he wears two chrome bandoliers, and little else. He is a two-hundred-year-old Wookiee and a sight to behold.<br /><br />Ben speaks to the Wookiee, pointing to Luke several times during his conversation and the huge creature suddenly lets out a horrifying laugh. Luke is more than a little bit disconcerted and pretends not to hear the conversation between Ben and the giant Wookiee.<br /><br />... a few moments later ...<br /><br />BEN TO LUKE: This is Chewbacca. He's first-mate on a ship that might suit our needs.<br /><br />... a few moments later ...<br /><br />HAN SOLO TO BEN: I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're looking for passage to the Alderaan system.<br /><br />BEN TO HAN SOLO: Yes, indeed. If it's a fast ship.Matt Maldrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589044056172003151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201852592224309830.post-64764246460084903682012-11-12T11:59:41.627-08:002012-11-12T11:59:41.627-08:00I generally agree with the direction of this post....I generally agree with the direction of this post. Seeing Obi Wan stare into space when conversing with Jar Jar is a far worse experience than Obi Wan conversing with a real, live Chewie. (Did Obi Wan and Chewbacca ever have a conversation in Epi 4?)<br /><br />However, watching Yoda in Epi 5 is laughable. He's clearly a Muppet. I love the Muppets, but they shouldn't be making cameo appears in the Star Wars series unless it's Pigs in Space. And I'm all for Disney making a trilogy of Pigs in Space.Erik Maldrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069445625382113969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201852592224309830.post-66633372937876773422012-11-12T06:42:20.022-08:002012-11-12T06:42:20.022-08:00That is awesome.

I went and spent five hours in the show seeing things like the 4-foot diameter Millennium Falcon, X-wing figher, Luke's hovercraft, Yoda, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, C3PO, R2D2, and much much more. <br /><br />I took 819 photos. There wasn't 819 items, but this is the largest show ever of stuff from BOTH the prequels and regular movies. I took lots of detailed shots of everything. I think my favorite shots will be the details of the Millennium Falcon, and all the shoes of the various characters. (I would put my camera on the base of the glass case and photograph a detail of their shoes. Kinda quirky, but I bet it will be a unique collection of shots.) <br /><br />Matt Maldrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589044056172003151noreply@blogger.com
