So I watched Empire Strikes Back over the weekend. I have not watched it since it was at the theater, I think around 83 when they re-released it in the lead up to Return Of the Jedi.

Anyway, I don't need a spoiler because I plan on watching Return Of the Jedi in the near future, but had a question. In the scene where Luke is leaving Dagobah, Obi Wan and Yoda are talking and Obi Wan says Luke is the only one in the galaxy capable of becoming a Jedi, but Yoda says there is another. Is it ever determined who that other is? I had forgotten about that quote(which seems like a HUGE one) and don't recall it being resolved in ROTJ. I have a guess who he's talking about, but can't remember it being mentioned in ROTJ.

Leia, his sister...

It is directly talked about by Obi Wan and Luke in ROTJ.

quote:

BEN
Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope.

LUKE
Yoda spoke of another.

BEN
The other he spoke of is your twin sister.

LUKE
But I have no sister.

BEN
Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous.

LUKE
Leia! Leia's my sister.

Haha, now I remember because I remember being grossed out that he kissed her.

On a completely unrelated note - I have copies of the original, unedited versions - the whole "Han shoots first" controversy. I watched the scene over the weekend.

Not only did Han shoot "first" - Greedo doesn't even get a shot off.

So, it is really "Han shot...Greedo? Not so much."

But, I guess that would have been too long for a t-shirt.

I think so. I think I even learned what to look for on this board.

Not 100%, of course.

(ETA: For the record, I own the 12" Laserdisc versions of these films.)

While accurate, it doesn't differentiate from the "improvements" (Lucas thought Solo was too cold-hearted) made.


Han shot. Greedo didn't.



That's why "Han shot first" - pops - while not 100% accurate, it is more descriptive of a rejection of the "improvement."

It's my understanding that they've restored the whole movie for the recent Blu-ray. Spielberg came to his senses unlike the fat one.

That's just it. Greedo is pointing a blaster at Han during the entire conversation. Han had every right to shoot him.
