I have just done a write-up here.
Lucasfilm was well known to drive up the prices of their products by keeping them off the shelves for several years at a time. I can remember clearly in 1999 - early 2000 that used VHS sets of the Star Wars Trilogy (1997 SE) went for up to $200 (the trilogy was reissued in 2000, on VHS). It's interesting to see them blatantly deny this, as well as taking aim at fan-edits of Episode I for breaching their copyright (yet fan-films themselves which themselves often breach trademarks were encouraged).
Anyway, here's a preview of my page:

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
