10. Wow....Can you rent it on DVD or something?
:wow:

If so, start with the original 3 (Ep 4-6), Star Wars (A New Hope), Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Then watch Ep. 1-3. Even though it's out of order, the first 3 kick the other 3's asses. The latter 3 were made after the first three. Weird, I know. Imho, Eps. 1 & 2 suck, Ep 3 is kickass for the most part. :)

13. I'm unsure
whether to take you with full-on sincerity or not. So, perhaps this is unnecessary to say, but... I know about that particular revelation. :D

There are exceptions but I'm not big on science fiction.

11. Star Wars is on here. I was going to watch it on the drive-in screen, but LK's watching Harry Potter
Probably just as well I waited, they aren't even broadcasting in HD, so it'd look like shit on my tv.

14. maybe we'll watch those over the next few.
The little geek'll enjoy it. Just 4-6 and maybe 3, my patience for Lucas' scriptwriting has limits.

17. On Spike? It's not letterboxed!
It ought to be a Federal law to show all films on TV with their correct aspect ratios.

21. I saw a part I didn't remember at the beginning. That snow scene
with the large white furry creature. I just don't remember that scene at all.

19. It was fun to see the trilogy on TV.
No it wasn't in great video shape, and yeah there were commercials...

But it's still a throwback to my younger days and gave me smiles.

ROTJ is on tomorrow.
