 | | Finally got to see the movie! —Scott Edward Sanburn
|
| | | To all, Well, I finally saw the movie! I wanted to wait until the crowds would not be so bad, and I was not disappointed! My place of work has summer hours, which translates into having half of Friday off, so I went to the Showcase theater nearby. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | Hi, It is very similar to the blackbird, without the canted vertical stabilizers over the engines. The queen's cockpit is much further back as well. Her ship appears to be at least 2-4x the size of an SR71, which is really quite small. See my (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)
