Can someone tell me why the Vader and Fett communities have a love-affair with keeping information sacred and scarce?
I understand "honor amongst theives" and so forth, but nobody purchased or bought anything from LFL or has signed some clandestine contract with a black-ops prop group for information regarding the prop world.
Just because a prop or a drawing or a set photo is rare, doesnt mean it cant be shared? This happens on the RPF, the Vader forums and most other forums. Someone wants to hold on to information - for what reason?
Is Lucas going to send out Gino and the boys to cut off your hand if you show a picture of David Prowse having the Vader helmet put on his head? Or of some "worm" indentation on a tube of the Vader face-mask that is off 1mm and you have pics to prove it? Now this?
It always leaves a sour taste in my mouth when a hobby and something for fun gets turned into "I know something you dont know" instead of show and tell.
Art, please, this is in no way a personal attack, I am not naming you. I am questioning the community at large why we do this type of behavior?
