Tell me you never read the EU without telling me you never read the EU.

Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio are how they're actually named in the script.

It does also say R2-D2 and C-3PO though. Both ways are story accurate.

They also abbreviate them frequently with just "Threepio" and "Artoo" being common.

IMHO, it kinda lends to the idea that they aren't just robots, but are sentient beings deserving of names

"What the hell is an aluminium falcon?!"

Man, wasn't this around and during StumleUpon days? Miss coming up on cool, random stuff like this.

This is actually better and more impressive! I was a bit disappointed about the massive quantity of square frames wtth small dots and huge quantities of text on the "graphic" (it looked more like a text script with tiny text font with explanatory diagrams). The ascii animations and content must have been extremely challenging to create. And the same for the telnet someone posted below.

EDIT: unfortunately, it is not the full complete story..

See Threepio
Artoo Detoo

How could they get this so right and wrong at the same time?

Edit: ok, ok, I now know that this is how it's written in the EU. Thanks for telling me, TIL. I don't need more replies telling me the same thing.

I also might be misremembering the following scene where the Stormtroopers spot Princess Leia and say:

"There's one! Set for stun!" >pew<

But the infographic here says:

"There she is! Set for stun!" >pew<

Thoughts?

Didn't know they translated Star Wars into Welsh.

Check my memory, but I thought after Lord Vader chokes and tosses the Rebel Officer aside, the quote was:

"Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans and bring me the passengers - I want them alive!"

In this Infographic, it is quoted as:

"Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans and bring me the Ambassador - I want her alive!"

Anyone with an original SW4:ANH video tape want to check? lol though I suppose a DVD will have to do... I would personally, but am unable at the moment, I might be able to in 12h or so... I would love to know!

Edit: OK, so it was pointed out to me that the Infographic might be paraphrasing a few scenes in order to avoid any sort of copyright complaints from Disney. I totally get it. However, now I really do want to know if I've remembered that correctly! lol

Star Wars IV: The Webtoon Edition

Nah, everyone knows Anakin hates sand. He'd avoid Tatooine more than anywhere. Plus it's a place of bad childhood memories and where his mum died

No wonder only Vader gets to be a bestagon!

Sandperson surprise is funny

Also hit F11 for full screen.

don't believe so.

Pretty great on mobile, just a little small. I imagine ipad would be divine.

It's a really good graphic of the movie!! Can't wait for the rest of the trilogy!! A detail that caught my eye though: Imperial I class Star Destroyers only had six heavy turbolaser batteries (3 starboard + 3 portside). Sorry!! It's a small detail, I know. The rest is fantastic!!

Star destroyer not big enough.

That's cute~ 8:07

Honestly, I find it a bit of charming Star Wars history, the transcription of the alphanumeric names. While I find it a little grating in newer contexts, it reminds me of a better time. You know, before the special editions, before the prequels and before Disney. Star Wars felt different back then.

In any case, it's not really a serious quibble, by willingness to argue the point (and the severity with which I would do so) is in proportion to how hard the other side of the argument wants to engage. S'just a silly thing, and if you care enough to argue the point, we're already on the same side.

Arturito*

In case you don’t want to watch the video, Diego Luna grew up watching Star Wars in Spanish. He heard R2’s name as “Arturito,” which is the diminutive version of Arthur. So like “Lil Arty.”
