Glenn: I tell ya', one time I was at Hinky Dinky and
they had this Darth Vadcr running around He
scared the hell out of me.
Tom: I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley
Glenn: Or a shopping center.
Tom: Incidentally, the reason why we're discuss
ing this is because we watched Star Wars on televi
sion Sunday night. Tell me, Glenn, was this the first
time it's been on television?
Glenn: It's the first time it's been on network televi
sion. It was playing on cable for a while.
Tom: Do you know if any of the scenes were edited
out?
Glenn: It didn't appear so. They even showed the
bloody arm lying on the floor after Obi Wan-Kenobi
sliced off the guy's arm in the barroom sequence.
Tom: Oooooh. So what do you think of George
Lucas, Glenn?
Glenn: Ah, well I think he's a freak.
Tom: Why do you say that, Glenn?
Glenn: Well, ah, he's a talented director and every
thing but whenever you hear him talk he seems like
he's wrapped up in his own little world. He created
this huge fantasyland he lives in because he can't
handle the real world.
Tom: I understand he's also a horrible cocaine
addict.
Glenn: That may be.
Tom: Well, thb would certainly explain a great
deal of it. Also, I understand he's a notorious
gambler. In fact, it's said among many that it's not
surprising to see him go down to the racetrack and
blow 50,000 bucks in one day.
Glenn: And of course there are all the stories
about all the drinking that went on on the set of Star
Wars.
Tom: I heard Harrison Ford could really put it
away.
Glenn: And the Wookie.
Tom: Yeah, they'd be up all night. Sometimes Har
rison Ford would go through two or three bottles of
whiskey and he'd still be standing. He's the kind of
Ail-American hero we can all respect. I wouldn't be
surprised some day if he ran for the Senate. And of
course, Mark Hamill has moved on to bigger and
better things. I saw him in this movie with Kristy
McNichol The Night the Lights Went Out in Geor
gia. Whatever happened to Alec Guiness anyway?
Glenn: He's still alive. He was in this show called
Smiley 's People. It was pretty good.
Tom: What do you think George Lucas is going to
do now?
Glenn: Oh, I guess he's going to sit around in his
isolation chamber taking mushrooms, dreaming up
the next part of the series.
Tom: You know, originally when I heard about the
idea for Star Wars I was kind of disappointed they
didn't get Ron Howard to be in it, just like he was in
American Graffiti
Glenn: He's too cool for that. The guy's too cool to
do a movie like that. 4
Tom: It's true. He's moved into bigger and better,
things too. Why, he was on Happy Days for years,
which is no small act playing against Henry Winkler.
Let s talk about other films in the genre with Star
Wars some of the major spinoffs.
Glenn: Urn . . . there was Krull in 3D. I understand
that was a classic.
Tom: There was Conan The Barbarian. There
was E. T. That was a really nice film. Let's see w h at
else there was Terms of Endearment.
Glenn: Another in the series of thp Star Wars
films. They had the focal point of the movie the
astronaut, played by Jack Nicholson.
Tom: There's The Right Stuff.
Glenn: Unfortunately, The Right Stuff didn't come
across as being nearly as realistic as Star Wars.
Tom: Yeah, yeah it's kind of a shame.
Glenn: Well, I'm afraid that's all the time we have
for now. Next time we discuss MTV and the New
Hampshire primary results. Remember to watch
MTV for the exclusive world premiere of Michael
Jackson's Pepsi commercial
