Good ol' scraping from websites like wookiepedia.

And watching lots and lots of Star Wars.

I have the blurays, so I should be in for a fun experience whilst collecting the nitty gritty data.

Do yourself a favor and get the Despecialized Edition.

These are excellent. The little 'making of' documentary clip had me wondering what the fuss was about with the colour changes, but once I started watching I really appreciated it. Feels like popping the old VHS tapes in, but with modern resolution. Never knew how much it bothered me wondering if what I was watching was how I'd seen it originally (for the less obvious changes).

Oh that's a good point. Do I want my data to be consistent with the 1997 releases or the originals!?

If it's "All The Star Wars data [We]'ve Ever Wanted," then I want both. With tags telling me which data is 'original' and which changed in the '97 releases.

EDIT: And a donate button so I can reward you.
