Oh, when I mentioned that "both" debuted the same weekend, I was talking about Empire and Pac-man, but it's interesting to know that ANH debuted the same weekend, too.

I'm pretty sure the false title was intended to hurt the knockoff industry.

So RevGL never had the promo T-shirt, either I guess. A buddy of mine had one of those and traded it for a case of beer (he was 16).

Where is Star Wars Guy when we need him?

My favorite was "Lefty the One-Armed Workers' Comp Wampa" or something similar. Luke's Severed Hand was pretty good too.

God, have I been on MacNN THAT LONG?
