Good morning,
The forecast for Whitewater on Tuesday calls for a mostly sunny day, with a high temperature of sixty degrees.
There will be a meeting of Whitewater’s Common Council tonight, at 6:30 p.m. The session will include presentation of the city’s proposed 2011 budget, to be presented in part tonight. The agenda is available online.
At Lincoln School tonight, at 6:30 p.m., there will be a band concert in the upper gym.
Over at Wired, there’s a post entitled, 10 Things You Probably Didn?t Know About Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, that offers some surprising (to me, at least) information. Among the revelations, there’s this unexpected one:
Yoda was originally named Buffy. No, really. In Lucas’ earliest outlines for the sequel, Luke meets a supernatural entity named Buffy, or Bunden Debannen. Here’s how Lucas described it:
Buffy very old – three or four thousand years. Kiber crystal in sword. Buffy shows Luke. Buffy the guardian. “Feel not think.”
And Lucas concludes by saying Luke will become the chosen one, “the human Buffy.” In later drafts, he thought of Yoda as a kind of small frog, and Yoda had a full name: Minch Yoda.
In the earliest script draft, Minch has the immortal line: “Skywalker. Skywalker. And why do you come to walk my sky, with the sword of a Jedi knight? I remember another Skywalker.”
