where the hell are Leia's sleeves? |
I believe I've already done a fair job already talking Star Wars Episode IV in context in recent posts, so I'll let you kids read that and come back, if the Force compels you or whatever.
Back in October I posted about how I was trying to remain calm and reasonable about the new Star Wars movie until reviews were in. I wasn't even planning on buying tickets until after the first mass of reviews hit Rotten Tomatoes. So, I wasn't supposed to be seeing the movie until the 27th. I know, crazy, right?
Well, I also realized - Disney is not really all that hyped about not making money, so my belief that Episodes IV-VI would be readily available on cable this week was just fundamentally stupid. And, to give you guys how much of an idea of how much I've been not paying attention to Star Wars, I didn't own a copy in any format. But, a quick perusal of Amazon fixed that, and my BluRay copies of the Special Edition discs showed up (don't worry, they were pretty cheap, actually).
But it may have been 10 years since I last watched Star Wars, which is mind-boggling when I realize I've seen Three Amigos twice in the past two years.
Tonight we threw Episode IV in the ol' BluRay and gave it a whirl.
