So i have a question. In watching the episodes air on MAX i was discussing the scene where Vader walks into Leia's cell with a floating ball with a syringe attached to it to try to get her to talk. I know i was young when this movie came out but i swear i heard (and thought i heard on an early priate copy that we thought we were so cool to have) Leia scream right as the door slid shut. Did this exist in the original version only to be deleted from all subsequent video releases or am i just smoking crack? Thanks

I too heard a Leia scream in the original version.

But to be honest i've only seen the movie in its original glory
about 3 times, and own the newly released editions without the scream.

So it's quite possible that you are right, due to the fact
that so many changes have been made since being first released .

Or your wrong and the newer versions have corrputed me.
Either way that crack your smoking is far superior

to the stuff they sell on my street
and its time you share the wealth.

I hope that somewhere in there you find your answer.

I can't remember the scream being prsent when I saw it in 1977. Then again, I was 4.

Now in 2006, I can think of many ways that this 'scene' should have played out.

All of them involve a black leather "Torture Special Edition" version of the gold bikini minus the drapery and Vader not being her father. devil.gif

I don't ever remember a scream. And was watching them on video since waaay back in the day.

Wasn't old enough to see it in the theater though, so maybe she did there. But in the old videos, she was alway silent.

Funny, I mentally would hear her scream as the door shuts. Did she really scream in the 1977 version? Having to be born in 1981 and I did not pay attention well enough to the movie when it came out on HBO. If she never scream in the 1977 version, why did my brain assume she should be screaming?

One thing, the probe is far from Leia and it's too slow to reach to Leia over 5 seconds of the scene (the door shuts, we see a soilder walked by) so it would be wierd to hear her scream when it will take more then 5 seconds to pin the needle on Leia.

I just checked the 1977 version and she doesn't. The scream you remember may have been from a nearby cinema patron. BTW I took great risk getting this information to. If my missus caught me watching Star Wars first thing in the morning when I should be working...

BTW in this age of 3dsmax and home digital video editors, someone should get that scene and overlay Jar Jar over the torture droid. "Meesa cum to talk with marm!" "Nooooooooo!"

The "scream" is just the screeching of the door shutting.

I could have sworn the scream was one of ChefElf's nitpicks...

Nope, I checked, it seems the problem was Luke's scream in ESB

I guess I'm smoking crack too...

Interestingly I listened to the radio dramas for the first time last year. In the radio drama they play out the whole torture scene. As I remember it, Vader drugs Leia to get her to divulge information.

What's really interesting is that Vader pretends to be Leia's father to coax her into giving the base location. It's interesting in the context of everything else. Clearly they didn't know he'd end up being her father when they wrote it but knowing that now it's interesting.

That pretty much sums up the radio dramas: Interesting.

brittish accents make more sense then american ones... but in space i'll let it go.

it's in fantasy where american accents really don't belong.

I remember in TESB there's a scene where an imperial officer says "Lord Vader demands an update of our pursuit." Trouble is, he speaks with a *really strong* American accent. All the other imperials (except for the stormtroopers) speak with that British accents. A teenager at the time, I thought, "Whoa, that guy is really a REBEL SPY!"

(But why do Stormtroopers speak with American accents, and Imperial officers with Brit accents? And when did they change from the Kiwi accent of Temura Morrison (I mean besides the time when George Lucas changed his mind))

Yep. It's the difference between _Lord of the Rings_ and the _Dungeons and Dragons_ Movie, or for that matter, anything Kevin Costner.

I'd say they both make an equal amount of sense, which is zero. In fact, if you think about it, there's no way the characters should even be speaking English. But hey, I'd rather have that than one of Lucas's made-up languages which would probably be based on Pig Latin or something.

Having said that, New Zealand accents... no. Just no. (Apologies to any New Zealanders around here, but still... no.)

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.
