Star Wars Original Trilogy Out
In 1977, my parents took me to a relatively unknown movie (at the time) called Star Wars. I don't precisely why they took me - they're great movie fans, but dislike sci-fi. Like many of my generation (and generations since), the movies had a tremendous impact on my then impressionable mind.
I could write reams about what Star Wars means to me, but the point of this post is that the original trilogy is now out on DVD. To a non-fan, or even a casual one, this event is the is the culmination of a long and arduous wait. The fans signed petitions. They even took out a full-page ad on Variety. Finally its available on DVD, in pristine condition and with the best available sound.
No matter that he's tweaked it yet again (yes, he's inserted Hayden Christensen into ROTJ - hiss). No matter that there are no deleted scenes. The fact is they're here on the best available format (until HD comes along, that is). They're here and for at least a few hours, I'll be back in that theatre long ago, watching wide-eyed at the screen.
