The closest Matthew Broderick ever came to Star Wars...

Post by setanta14 »

"I have you now."

Vader says this during the Battle of Yavin as he finally gets Luke's X-wing in his sights, just before being distracted when the Millennium Falcon suddenly appears, and again in a cut-scene of Star Wars: X-Wing, when he 'senses' that Leia has the Death Star I plans. The same character, albeit as Anakin Skywalker, utters the same line as he prepares to fire upon Asajj Ventress in the Clone Wars animated series.

The line also appears in the Tales of the Jedi audio drama, in which a young Vima Sunrider chases a group of neeks, saying "I have you now, little neeks!"

In the 1983 film War Games, Matthew Broderick says it, even mimicking the timbre of James Earl Jones's voice, as he cracks in to what he believes is a video game company's mainframe.

With such an obscure reference like this, there is no way they wouldn't have mentioned a cameo IN the movies... plus, it was Todd Alcott!

K. "this guy" was born in '51. That's not the guy we were talking about.

So, in 78-79 when TESB was filmed, he was in his late 20's... same as Cory and Brendan (i.e., babyfaced dudes :twisted: )
