- Well, being the original poster, all I can relate is what was told to me.
- George DID in fact own an Atari, he DID in fact bring it to B&C to be
- fixed, he DID in fact want it fixed, not replaced, since it was used in
- his movies. Maybe the owner of B&C is confused about which movie (SW or
- ROTJ).
-
- Another interesting point, later on, George and Atari did in fact come up
- with some deal, and that was why Lucasfilm Games was created. Too bad it
- was not honored when Atari was bought.
