What do you think of this?. Could be Homer or just an illusion.

To see the picture go to the bottom of the ezboard forum linked above.

If you are playing the movie, this scene came after Yoda says: "Around the survivors a perimeter create" (I´ve seen the spanish dubbed version so I´m translating

I've looked, but can't find him...where is he supposed to be in the picture?

------------------
Too much of the rest of the film is given over to a romance between Padme and Anakin in which they're incapable of uttering anything other than the most basic and weary romantic cliches, while regarding each other as if love was something to be endured rather than cherished. There is not a romantic word they exchange that has not long since been reduced to cliche.

No, wait: Anakin tells Padme at one point: "I don't like the sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating--not like you. You're soft and smooth." I hadn't heard that before.

Looks like the fade out of yoda into this scene. Just a left over fragment.

Ah-ha he's the pilot, thanks for the clue in below, I'll watch the scene today

'Si has visto la pelicula, el primer helicoptero al que se le ve la cabina que baja a el circo o arena y arrasa a los robots el piloto es Homer Simpson.': If you've seen the movie the first helicopter which you can see the cokpit the pilot is Homer Simpson.

He's sitting in the cockpit of the one looking right at you. I've watched the part several times since reading this, and I have to say, an arguement can definately be made that it's Homer.

Here it is, it's still a bit blurry, and hard to make it out.

While i very much want to believe its Homer from the 3d episode, i can't help but notice that the stormtroopers helmets have a very homer-esque shape to them. I've watched it several times though and have convinced several of my staff that it is homer.

I am convinced now. I have seen it close up on one of our biggest screens several times. He does not look like Homer too much toward the end of the shot, but if you look out for it and catch him as he enters the scene, it's most definately Homer.

Finally! A reason to watch this movie!

George, all is now forgiven. Anyone who likes Homer enough to put him in their movie is OK by me!
