Ive still got the originals on VHS, so I could feasibly show them at some point. I'm sure they'd get a kick out of VHS in all its whirring glory. When I was a kid, we had a 'tracking' button on our VCR to fix the image on the video when it went funny. Shit, i'm old.
I've had to deal with the tracking button as well. I prefer hitting as my formost technique in my vast arsenal though.
Apparently writing about JM here is his secret weakness. Muwahaha!!!! Now I have leverage over him and am another step closer towards my goal of world domination.

Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.

I finally got my copies of the Laserdisc DVD's, and I couldn't be happier! They sound sooo good! Without coercion, my six-year-old daughter picked out a movie tonite, and she picked ESB (the Laserdisc DVD)!!! I was so pleased!! We sat right down and watched it! She absolutely loved it! Artoo is her favorite characters, and for once in a long time I really felt the thrill and nostalgia of watching ESB for the first time. I can remember back to when we went to the drive-in theater to watch it.
Ah, sweet memories then, and sweet memories now.

Cowboy Curtis, that is fabulous news. How promising.
I'm wondering about the future of criticising SW in general. Loving the originals is a no-brainer, and Chefelf's lists brought out the inner good of not having to accept the pablum GL now calls SW. Rather, it was fun to celebrate the stupidity to a certain extent. Not that Lucas would hear and heed deserved harsh criticism. Now that there's nowhere to go, there's nothing new and there's certainly no hope.
Kind of like at the end of the season. It's hard to root for a team that won't play again.
Damned if I'd ever change teams, however.

Hard as it may be to believe, the Special Edition was only with us for barely 8 years. The newest editions for only 1. Yes, the kids these days may never have seen the originals if they're only 14.
That's true! I have never seen the OOT! Shame on me!
Anyways, I know a cousin that owns the OOT. I'll soon watch it on Christmas or something.

Apart from plans to make a couple of animated series alongside the Star Wars: Clone Wars, Lucas doesn't plan to make anymore movies. (which is probably a good thing)
What do you guys believe is the future of Star Wars? Will it be forgotten about by the time this generation gets old?

Does Lucas have any basterd sons? If so, we must destroy the evil before it spreads.

I got an email letting me know that ALL FOUR of the lucas clan who are in return of shit are available in a four figure set from hasbro. I don't know if all qualify as "action" figures.

Or Maybe there's going to be different in thirty years, the PT will be the OT, but very, very bad. And there going to be the Chapter VII to IV, the bronze editions, because if you see the PT trilogy, the Star Wars letters are golden, in OT are Silver. And the movie is going to be about... I think a boy named...Anakin Solo and he had one brother and one sister. Or it's maybe another stupid Expanded Universe of Lucas.

Good. But of course, in the OOOT the first movie is called Star Wars and there is no Episode number.
