DON'T buy the new Star Wars DVD's!
You know, I was just going to put this at the end of Wolfman's original thread but I decided not to on the following four reasons.
1. It's a rare thing indeed - The Curmudgeon was wr.. wro.. ugh, I can't bring myself to even type it. Let's just say The Curmudgeon didn't know all the facts before commenting on the situation.
2. It's Star Wars, one of the things that, let's face it, helped shape The Fortress and its Dwellers into who they are today.
3. If Wolfman's thread got any bigger, it would start to eat up the universe.
4. It's my site, dammit!
So - Wolfman was right. Ladies and gentlemen - DO NOT BUY the new issue Star Wars DVD's. I know I kept bleating on about how they were FINALLY the original, classic versions we've all been waiting for and that they were all getting two disc releases.
And they are. BUT - check out THIS monumental slap in the face. For a TWO DISC set, do you know what extra's you get?
A commentary, from the DVD that came out before. And a trailer - for Star Wars Lego.
And that, friends - is your lot.
The Human Beard is just like a spoiled kid. "Oh, you don't want MY version? Well here - take your stupid old version, but don't expect any extra's with it." What a dick.
So, again - what Wolfman said. Wait. I know we've all waited long enough, but let's wait a bit longer, because come 2007 and the 30 year anniversay - THAT's when the good stuff will appear.
Invisible Wolfman - a superb thread and bang on the money to boot. My hat goes off to you.

You ever get the feeling that George Lucas is a one-trick (well, OK - two for Indy) pony?
Has he made anything else even half as good as Star Wars? Let's not forget this film was made almost 30 years ago now, and it's still pretty much the only thing he's famous for. That and Howard The Duck, of course.
Actually, besides Star Wars, Indy and Howard - what else HAS he done?
Uh-huh. Ever seen that one?
