That's all true, but I can remember how excited I was when I watched at 8 years old.

Had to add this from Wookipedia.

"Excuse me Master Luke, but what is this strange world we’ve come to?"
"Beats me, Threepio. Seems like we’ve landed on some sort of comedy-variety show planet."

If only they'd edit the two 5 minute halves of the Boba Fett cartoon together and include said cartoon as a Bonus Feature..., no one would ever have to watch the remaining 7 hours (that's how long it felt) ever again!

Yeah, the animated stuff is okay. It reminded me a bit of Heavy Metal, but perhaps not as good. Definitely very quickly cobbled together, or at least that's my thoery.

Arrrrghhhh. MY EYES! THEY'RE BURNING!

I've seen the holiday special once, and it was painful beyond belief.

I think that's a certainty.

The Star Wars holiday special is cannon, also.

Re. Falcon gunner

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just thought I'd see if anyone's memory has recently been jogged...?

Cheers, all!

Since Disney owns both Star Wars and the Muppets, does this mean Pigs in Space and the Star Wars-Muppet Show crossover are now canon?

I think that's a certainty.

When Disney and Lucas announced the merger, fans of "Once Upon a Time" wondered whether Darth Vader would eventually end up on that show.

Sorry if that was absolutely no help, but I feel better

That's okay Dave, my question is for the exact same reason; to make myself feel better... and hopefully get some sleep!

Hooray for Art Carney!

Mind you, SW has been retconned so much in the past few decades, how many of us can be sure if what we remember is now considered 'canon' or not? Ha!

Crewman number six, I think his name is Guy

*OK all together now... "RELEASE THE CRACKEN!!!"

I doubt the "character" was even named and wasn't meant to be anything more than an extra that wouldn't be seen at all...a quick shot in a montage during the battle at most.

Oh, I agree completely. That's why it caught my eye a few years ago that this character had been named at all. Its just that... I'm sure if it had been 'Cracken' back then, I'd have remembered it....

Not to worry. If anyone has any ideas, please gimme a yell. It shouldn't bug me so much..., but it does!

I doubt the "character" was even named and wasn't meant to be anything more than an extra that wouldn't be seen at all...a quick shot in a montage during the battle at most. The cast listing probably would have read "Millennium Falcon Gunner" or some such.

The retcon itself is curious, as Cracken was a General in the EU well before the Battle of Endor. Did he take a temporary demotion during the battle since he was serving on the Falcon under Lando?

Yet another great character from the West End Games SW material, though. I really enjoyed the Cracken guides from them and his little blurbs on criminals, agents and pieces of technology. He and his son were greatly fleshed out in the X-Wing novels.

Thanks, Jan. I think his name is Mike Stevens or Michael Stevens or similar. I tried looking up RotJ on imdb but couldn't see any such actor listed, (and therefore no character name either).

Thanks anyway! And if you think of anywhere else I could try looking, please pipe-up!
