Yup, Sky Germany created a "Star Wars HD Channel", where they continuously show all 6 Star Wars movies (in full HD), featurettes, documentaries and the animated series "Rebels" throughout the whole month (December).

The video is part of their viral promotion campaign. There are other, similar videos floating around.

Note the Stormtrooper wearing the now mandatory (when your vehicle breaks down on the Autobahn driver and all passengers are supposed to wear one) yellow reflective safety vest. Nice touch. smile


Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

Obviously the pilot has been whisked off to some plush hotel while the poor grunts get guard detail.

You saw them plain as day in the first movie! Vader says "several ships have broken off from the main group, come with me" and they march off together. Han blows one away at the end as the other collides with Vader.

Most people don't bother remembering details like that unless they are fans.

I consider myself a fan, I own all 6 movies in VHS and DVD, but you guys take it a whole next level. I have a lot of friends like you guys too, it's not a slam. I've just never been into anything THAT much. Not even my jets.

If being all-black and having facial hoses doesn't make them stick out to you, I guess you're just not that observant. smile

Which seems to be quite a few people. Remember the thread on SimHQ a long time ago where some people didn't get the simple connection that Senator Palpatine and the Emperor were the same person?

Start with the old ones wink

It's really, really obvious in the movie (at least to me it was). Same old guy just wearing different clothes in different scenes.

I guess most people don't pay attention to who is in the cast in films anymore? A minimal amount of effort would have shown that both Senator Palpatine and the Emperor were played by Ian McDairmid.
