We were given permission by them in early 2003 to showcase their work. This is so cool.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/
I started watching a digitally remastered version of the original Star Wars movie and couldn't finish. They had edited out all the best lines! What happened to "Look sir, droids"?

I get the impression that the original movie just wasn't "kid friendly" enough for George Lucas, so he redid it. I will treasure my old VHS tapes!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/
"In Star Trek, they had this thing called the Holodeck. There may or may not be cool research that went into it--I'm not going to talk about that. Instead, I'll say that you could go kayaking in the Holodeck! Imagine that!"

It would actually be cool to know how this thing worked, and if there was any practical or fun application of the tech, or if there was a real-world prototype of a similar idea. Instead, we have another "They did this in a movie" post, no information.

I'd learn more reading rants from 14-year-olds on IMDB.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/

It was a piece of animated FX in a film made in the 1970s. That do you?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/08/movie-gadget-friday-the-dejarik-holochess-game-from-star-wars/
