Hell they dont even make a classic edition in any digital format. really disappointing.

wow, thanks. Ill get the new ep in the next couple of days

The new version has always bothered me. It takes what they were doing out of context. Star wars is amazing because of the time when it was created. I grew up with star wars being the standard. When they redid it in 1997 I waited in line with friends and skipped school to see it in a theater. I was very dissapointed.

It really waters down how spectacular EP IV was when i was growing up. It wouldnt have been so bad but I really felt (even at the time) that the added effects were completely unneeded and not really up to jurassic parks standards.  The added effects were also added to "kiddifiy" the movie more for a modern family friendly audience.

Well, whaddaya know.  I was aware of the difference between a trouper and a trooper, but I just always thought that expression was military in origin, and not from the theatah.   Live and learn.

I also realize in retrospect that the video switcher that fires the Death Star's weapon was probably a Grass Valley switcher and not a Chyron.   The Times regrets the error.

Random Trivia: My middle name is Luke, named after Luke Skywalker. Had I been a girl it would have been Leia.

I so wish you guys would do some kind of live session, but none the less great one loved it 5* all the way

they would be to envious of are awesome amounts of knowledge that they will be to ashamed or to drunk to care

In order for me to watch this I had to run it while watching the DVD version and pause the commentary during the added scenes.  It was actually kind of interesting that way

One thing I'm surprised you guys didn't talk about is Star Wars' one piece of magic.  And, when you think about it, it was a pretty genius move by Lucas.  He sets it up as the very first thing you see in the movie.  "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." He was saying this takes place in a universe that you are completely unfamiliar with, so almost anything is fair game.  Things like lightsabers, the force, laser guns, and explosions in space where there is no oxygen, can exist and happen because all the rules are different.  Its one VERY big piece of magic, but the way its presented at the very beginning of the film, it works.

I always thought the line "There will be no one to stop us this time!" was a reference to the opening crawl where they say that Rebel spaceships have just won their first victory against the Empire.
