A  small  tidbit  for  those  of  you  who await with bated breath
(as I do) the release of  "The Revenge of the Jedi"--I ran across,
by chance,  a PR publication from 20th Century Fox which announced
that  it  will be released in  the latter days  of May, 1983; some
artists'  scenarios  included  showed  that yes,  indeed, everyone
is  back, including the quick-frozen Han Solo and the mysteriously
evaporated Obiwan Kenobi  (if you recall,  nobody ever said he was
DEAD--he was  merely gone when  Vader's light saber sliced through
his--perhaps already?--empty robe).

The  action  will return to  Tatooine (Luke's home planet), though
nothing was included  to explain why.   My guess is only that Moss
Eisley  (sp?)  appeared to be a major spaceport,  judging from the
clientele  in the cantina...and  a port city on a largely deserted
planet could  be a useful place to the  rebels.   After all, we've
had jungle and arctic bases; I guess it's time for desert now.

It was also announced that  "The Empire Strikes Back"  will be re-
released around  Christmastime,  with appropriate fanfare and some
more-detailed previews of "Revenge" attached.

				this clever machine to figure
				it out for me.
