A few 'breaking' Star Wars items

John Hollis Passes
John Hollis, known to Star Wars fans as Lobot from Bespin, recently passed away.

John Hollis, who played Professor Sondergaard in the Jon Pertwee serial "The Mutants," died on October 18 in London of natural causes. Hollis had an extensive career in science fiction roles, including on "The Tomorrow People," "Blake's 7," "Adam Adamant Lives,""The Avengers," "A For Andromeda" and in the films "Flash Gordon," the "Superman" series and "The Day of the Triffids," and is perhaps best known to fans as Lando Calrissian's aide Lobot in "The Empire Strikes Back". EDITOR'S NOTE: I DON'T THINK HE WAS VERY OLD (50'S, MAYBE?) WONDER WHAT HAPPENED?

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING THAT SEEMS A REAL HARBINGER OF THE END-TIMES -----

Trump's Apprentice Takes on the Sith Apprentice
On November 10, Donald Trump's hopefuls on The Apprentice on NBC will be taking on the biggest Star Wars event of the fall -- the launch of Revenge of the Sith on DVD and the Star Wars: Battlefront II video game.

Be sure to tune in this week to get to know the individuals who will inspire a major Star Wars promotion. EDITOR'S NOTE: I LOVE YA, UNCLE GEORGE, BUT THIS MIGHT BE WHERE I DRAW THE LINE. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME WATCH TRUMP.

Here are four TV spots created for this television event.

EDITOR'S NOTE: OK, I HAVE TO ADMIT THESE ADS WERE FUNNY. BUT :30 SECONDS OF TRUMP PER INSTALLMENT IS ABOUT ALL I CAN HANDLE.

Dancing Yoda Easter Egg
Here is how to access the hidden clip of dancing Yoda on the Revenge of the Sith DVD.

On disc 1, go to the language and sound set up section.

Highlight the THX logo.

Press 1138 on your remote and hit enter!

Depending on your particular style of DVD you may have to try several ways to get the 1138 to enter, i.e. - 1,1,3,8 etc etc.
EDITOR'S NOTE: I OWN THIS DVD. AND IT LOOKS SO PRETTY ALL IN ITS WRAPPER. (SIGH....MARATHON THANKSGIVING WEEKEND, EVERYBODY?)
