View, CA Lines: 31 [Honor this line - it had to fight to get here!] To recapitulate, the question was this: Scene is as follows: Luke, Han, Leah, et. al., have just made good their escape from the deathstar, and destroyed the sentry ships. Han and Leah are having a conversation on the bridge of the Millenium Falcon. There is SOMETHING WRONG with this scene. And now (drumroll, flourish of trumpets), THE ANSWER: In the scene immediately prior, we see Moff Tarkin and Vader having a conversation back at the Death Star. Tarkin - "Are they away?"; Vader - "They have just made the jump into hyperspace." But as Han and Leah talk, we see a perfectly normal starfield thru the windows on the Falcon's bridge. In addition to the posted response to this question (which was correct) I received 5 mailed replies, 1 incorrect, 1 missing all but the header, and 3 correct. All honor and glory to our winners, plus 1 Buick (virtual) to ut-sally!hitchens, for being fastest on the draw. Our winners are: Ron Hitchens (ut-sally!hitchens) Ron Pankiewicz (fluke!ron) Rich Wales (wales@UCLA-LOCUS.ARPA) Kenn Barry NASA-Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric Avenue: {dual,hao,menlo70,hplabs}!ames-lm!barry
