Small victory for my childhood

Yeah, yeah, these days Star Wars couldn’t be lamer if they digitally replaced Darth Vader with Michelle Malkin. But at least Lucas is finally going to release DVD versions of the original 3 movies without all his digital trickery and revisionist history.

Han Solo shot first, man. You know it, I know it, and as stupid as it is, it matters to me that this be on the record.

Lucas has so abused my original childhood imagination factory that I doubt I could ever bring myself to watch any of the movies again. But at least someone somewhere can watch “Return of the Jedi” without suffering through “Fraggle Jedi Rock” sung by CGI muppets while Boba Fett does the watusi in the corner.

    Hey, hey, hey. Watch it, buddy. Don’t be creeping over into my territory.

    HA!

    BTW, it was brought to my attention recently, that practically the only scene I liked in SW, the one where Han tells Leia that she likes him because he’s a scoundrel and there aren’t enough scoundrels in her life is taken all but verbatum from Gone with the Wind book… I fucking could not believe it, but sure enough.
    Though it stands to reason, judging by the “romantic” dialog in the “prequels”…

    I like it. And it beats the hell out of Jar Jar Binks in terms of production values.
