1983 was memorable for all the wrong reasons. On the other hand, 1982 was a classic year for cinema, with ET, Tron, Star Trek 2, Poltergeist, Blade Runner, Conan the Barbarian, First Blood, Rocky 3, and Firefox.

A few years ago I attended a parents evening with my son and was introduced to one of his teachers. I remember thinking her surname of Marquand was unusual, as I’d only ever known the name from Richard Marquand. After the meeting, my son told me that she’s his daughter in law! I was almost star struck!

And it's kinda sad that Marquand unexpectedly passed in 1987, a mere 4 years after "Jedi" released.

Where was that rant from? It pretty much hits the mark, though ROTJ I still love (original, not Lucas fucked with edition) despite those moments. I rationalised Leia being able to strangle Jabba with her as yet unknown force ability. The Ewoks I thought were not that bad except they should not have been able to effectively take on stormtroopers, making the Empire's troops seem pathetically inadequate. Boba Fett's death was comically done and seemed like such a waste of a cool character. It was still better than the reanimated corpse Disney conjured up.
