bilby commented on the word niddle
"Another often asked question is about the first shot of the jet in the film: Why are there no cars on the other lane when we saw them gridlocked there in a previous shot? The truth of this shot is simple. This was one of the last shots completed and it just never turned out the way it was envisioned. The addition of the traffic was intended to be added as a final polish. Unfortunately, too much time was spent trying to get the over-all shot to look right. The deadline came up and this was used as it was. We understand now why George Lucas always wants to go back and niddle his Special Edition films."
