Well, the only ones I know of are the Stormtrooper on the far right busting his head when he walks into the control room, the rodent at the bar who turns his head so you can see in one eye and out the other and when Luke yells "Carrie!" when the princess runs up to his ship at the end of the movie. All three of them are still in there! I had hoped that the rodent would be digitally "repaired" at the very least, but either nobody noticed or it was left in on purpose. I think that they may have further obscured the "Carrie" line, though, because the audio seemed a little different there. I wish I could rent a tape with just the Mos Eisley and final dogfight scenes. I could stare at that for days. - -Rex ------------------------------ From: Thomas Bell Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 22:14:25 -0800 Subject: Re: Finally got the Wolfie Joseph J.
