@AndrewLeeS77 @CapedWonderJim My copy didn't have that sticker containing the track listing. I wonder whether all the UK pressings were like that. It meant you could only tell where you were on the album by trying to read a label spinning at 33rpm.

@ThatBurke @WBHomeEnt Or to Christopher Reeves, as almost everyone on this thread seems to spell it!

@MatthewKellyyy Great thread. Absolutely right about those tantalising references to the Clone Wars and Luke's father.

It was the film that LA's Chinese Theater dropped as quickly as possible, so it could get back to showing Star Wars: William Friedkin's Sorcerer.

@dave_norris Excellent. Thank you. I'd seen the slightly extended version released on DVD years ago and thought most of the reinstated footage felt redundant. Will be interested to see the even longer one!

One of the unsung heroes of Star Wars: practical effects master John Stears.
