I was one of those disgruntled fans that swore for months I would not be buying these DVDs. I even fired off an angry letter to Lucasfilm proclaiming that very sentiment. But I have to admit - I DID want to see them. I just refused to give [expletive] Lucas anymore of my money.

So I had the trilogy waiting for me in my Netflix queue. I timed the return of my movies from last week so Netflix would get them on Tuesday and ship out Star Wars that same day. Well - isn't it funny that it suddenly took an extra day for Netflix to receive my return this week? Yes, very funny indeed. And now the trilogy is showing up in my queue as "Very Long Wait."

Well - this could be the event that triggers my journey towards the darkside. I can see Emperor Palpatine sitting in Circuit City right now, holding up all three and saying, "You want these, don't you? Take them. They cost less than $40. Take them home and your journey towards the darkside will be complete."

It's very tempting, and I'm afraid I might cave. I pride myself on being a man of my word, and now I feel weak and pathetic. If I buy them, I'll have to shamefully hide them and never show them to anyone. I might even have to change my username on several forums.

What should I do?
