Well, today was September 21st. Do all of you have your Star Wars DVDs?

I had a little impromtu marathon today and I have to say, this set is fabulous.

Now I know the purests have been bitching to no end about Lucas and his "changes". These are his movies people, not yours, he can do whatever he damn well likes to them. So shut your pie-holes, retreat back into your grandmothers basements, and log on to Ultima Online where there are people like you who actaully give a damn.

Anyway...

The changes that have been made I find to be tasteful and generally add to the feel of what is soon to be a six part series.

Some of the more notable changes include;

-Fixed Jabba in ANH (I think they used the model from TPM)

-Han's "dodge" of Greedo's blaster bolt no longer looks like Han bent the laws of time and space to shift his head 6 inches to the right.

-Boba Fett's lines have been re-voiced by the guy that played Jango Fett (apologies, I can't remember the actor's name)

-Sebastian Shaw has been replaced with Hayden Christiansen at the end of ROTJ. This was the one I was REALLY unsure about but it is really pulled off well and I didn't find it cheesy or forced.

-Generally speaking, the print is gorgeous. The thing looks like it could have been filmed yesterday. And the 5.1 sound build is immaculate. My sound system has never sounded better.

So all in all, a VERY good day...

...now I just have to wait for the extended edition of Return of the King.
