This is a really rare find. On one of my old BETA-Tapes i found an old (illegal) copy of the german version of Star Wars. Nothing unusual so far - but this version didn´t have the episode number after the title. So it´s probably the oldest copy one will ever see. Of course there´s no other difference to the version we all know and love, but I think each Star Wars fan should see it at least once in his lifetime and so here it is. :) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPzeZkUyfAg

Info from the BigCartoonDatabase (www.bcdb.com): "Often An Orphan" Looney Tunes Theatrical Cartoon Series Warner Bros. Cartoons, Inc. Cartoon Characters: Porky Pig, Charlie Dog. Directed By Chuck Jones. Originally Released on August 13, 1949 (produced in 1948) Originally Released Theatrically. Running Time: 7 minutes. COLOR To avoid any more stupid comments - a few points in advance: 1. The cartoon was made in 1948 and is directed by Chuck Jones. 2. In the 1920ies to 1950ies cartoons like this where shown in theatres either before the main movie or in between the two parts of a double feature. 3. Yes, there wasn´t much color-tv around in the fourties, but was has this fact to do with the cartoon? 4. I don´t think myself that this is a prediction of coming events (just check the question-mark in the title of the video), but just a funny coincidence. 5. They are two ideas where the line originated from. One is a bible quote (check the comments for more info) and another one (which seems more plausible) is that Jones was refering to the end of the radio era. The radio-towers (search for RKO) were pulled down all around the US back in the 40ies because these steel monsters weren´t needed anymore. 6. As mentioned above this was a theatrical cartoon and no episode from a tv-show, so comments about how fake it is and that is was produced much later are stupid. Just get your facts straight and use at least wikipedia, google or the above mentioned BCDB to inform yourself of things that happened before you where born. :) If you have a bit of time on your hand just check my movie ZANDER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4zXJXl4rrk ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNBRHwxVdGM

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION BELOW „Ich wollte schon immer einen Film komplett in einer Telefonzelle drehen." Sir Alfred Hitchcock Ein Mann betritt eine Telefonzelle und kann diese für mehrere Tage nicht mehr verlassen. Er kann weder mit der Außenwelt kommunizieren noch kann er von Passanten wahrgenommen werden. Trailer hier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwL1yPm9ojY&feature=youtu.be Eine Mischung aus rabenschwarzem Humor, ein wenig Twilight Zone und düsterem Psychodrama, das nicht nur inhaltlich sondern auch optisch einige Überraschungen zu bieten hat. Sicherlich ist ZANDER nicht mit heutigen Amateurfilmen zu vergleichen und selbst mit digitaler Zauberei lässt sich die Qualität nicht mehr weiter verbessern, aber der Film ist zumindest in keiner Weise langweilig -- garantiert. ZANDER wurde in den Jahren 1986 -- 1990 zumeist an den Wochenenden und komplett ohne Budget von einer Gruppe Filmfreaks gedreht. Mit billigen Videokameras geschossen und auf handelsüblichen Rekordern geschnitten, der Sound und die Musik auf nahezu primitive Art und Weise mittels Kassettenrekorder gemixt. Trotz allem kam am Ende ein äußerst unterhaltsames Stück Amateurfilm heraus, das ich nun dank Youtube auch mal einem größeren Publikum vorstellen kann. Also lasst Euch einfach mal überraschen und wenn´s Euch gefällt -- weitersagen.  PS: Die Musik stammt vom Videospiel-Komponisten Chris Hülsbeck und ist sein erster Ausflug in den Bereich der Filmmusik. ENGLISH INFORMATION „I always wanted to shot a whole movie in a phone-booth." Sir Alfred Hitchcock ZANDER tells the simple story of a man trapped in a phone-booth, presented as a mix of black humor, a little bit of Twilight Zone and a dark psycho-drama. TRAILER HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwL1yPm9ojY&feature=youtu.be The movie was shot without any budget in the years 1986 -- 1900 with simple consumer video-cameras, was cut with standard VCR's and the sound was mixed with tape-recorders. Surprisingly in the end it grew to a very entertaining piece of amateur-film-making. Just give it a try -- and share it if you like it. Have fun. PS: The music was composed by video-game-composer Chris Hülsbeck and was his first step into the area of film-music. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4zXJXl4rrk
