    Obi-Wan's encounter with the storm trooper at Mos Eisley, was a perfect example of his ability to manipulate someone's thoughts. Obi-Wan's attempt to consciously start a sales deal for the droids plants a seed of thought into the storm trooper's mind, _(I_ _dont_ _want_ to buy _these_ _droids,)_ which opens him up for Obi-Wan to go deeper and directly control his thoughts at the subconscious level. The scene cleverly demonstrates Obi-Wan's description of the Force, later in the movie.

    From the ones on this list, I've always thought, since I was five in '77: The Stormtrooper said, "Top-gassing, don't worry about it." In my mind it was describing a similar process as flaring at an oil refinery. Biggs said, "We've got 'em on the loose". A way of saying that Darth Vader and his wingmen were closing in. Luke simply shouted, "Hey!"

    This might not count, but I'll say it anyway. On the Empire Strikes Back album, the track entitled "The Departure of Boba Fett got me. I misread it. For years, I called that song "The Depture of Boba Fett." Eventually, I realized that "depture" is not a word. I had thought it was some fancy word that no one knew. As far as mis-hearing words, I've done that my whole life. Oddly, I didn't make the mistakes that are listed in this video. I pretty much had them all right AS AN ADULT. As a kid is a different story. I didn't know about the "gas letting" comment by the stormtroopers, however. That was new. And as a child, I didn't know what Jundland Wastes were. Interesting video. Thank you.

    I saw STAR WARS in theaters 24x in first release in 70mm 6-track Dolby, and went to see every re-release, and then got the first VHS release. The only lines that were ever lost on me, were "Jundland Wastes," "Out-gassing" (this one was because it was supposed to be, literally background chatter, and gets lost in the mix), and I thought it was "X-foils," not "S-foils" (because they were "X-Wings," right?). The first time I saw a 35mm version, which was not the same audio mix, I noticed there were differences. It was the first (after 20x previous 6-track screenings), instance I heard Luke cry out (what I thought to be, "Carrie!"). It stuck out, because that was not present in the 6-track version I previously saw/heard nearly two dozen times. BTW, Aunt Beru's voice was overdubbed by different actresses in the 70mm and 35mm versions. I'll tell you, that 6-Track version was damned impressive with the main dialogue in separate channels from the sound effects and music.

The 12th clip wouldn't surprise me if he actually said Carrie's name. Just watch the Rush Hour bloopers where Chris kept calling Jackie by his actual name. Dude did it three times in a row if we take the blooper reel at face value. Dude could have said it far more.

I did go looking for an old copy of the book, but most versions are reprints that have been updated to suit Lucas's later vision. Ah well. I also used to have a picture book of Return of the Jedi which showed Luke dropping down into the Rancor's eye, where as the version that went to screen had him jump straight to the ground near the Rancour instead of dropping on to him. Star Wars is unique in that it ended up being almost a living thing with Lucas constantly evolving it. Unfortunately I got rid of a lot of my really old Star Wars stuff ages ago.
