    OK, Ive got a good behind-the-scenes one.

    Which computerized camera, which received an Academy Award for Techincal Acheivment, was invented by ILM to shoot the original Star Wars' more complex motion-control effects?

    Would it be the Motion Control Camera?

    The answer is the Dykstraflex, the brainchild of John Dykstra, who had previously worked with Douglas Trumbull on 2001:A Space Odyssey.

    Todays question is equally dumb.

    You are correct JJ. I think it is odd that her action figure comes in a scene pack of three, but her assistant gets her own carded basic figure. I don't even know if I remember seeing her assistant Cat Miin in the movie. Both figures are the exact same, except for the paint job.

    I think everything about action figure marketing is odd, which is why I don't collect them.

    Hey, I have a better movie quote question for everyone:

    How did Ben Kenobi respond to the following line:

    "She's fast enough for you, old man. What's the cargo?"

    "Only passengers, myself and the boy, two droids....and no questions asked."

    "What is it, some kind of local trouble?"

    "Let's just say we'd like to avoid any *Imerial* entanglements."

    Quotes, I can do. :)

    I filled this bowl on my desk with small packages of M&Ms the ones with the Star Wars trivia on them. Before people can take one, they must try and answer the question. No one has gotten any of the questions right. However in their defense some of the questions are a little iffy. Such as who was R2's master. Well, that could have been a lot of people. Who knows who before the Naboo Starship. I guess you would say he belong to the Naboo government. Then he was with Padme, but during the clone wars cartoon she gave him to Anakin. After Anakin went all dark side Bail seemed to just step in and give them to Captain Antilles. During the Droids cartoon of the 80's they had a few masters. I'm sure in EU they had plenty more. So, that question could have many answers.

    You, know, I recall owning R2 for a period of time back in the early 90s....
