Hello, there!

I'm a lifelong Star Wars Fan of the newer generation.  When I was young, I remember thinking the Prequel Trilogy was cool (not good, cool), and I never gave the Original Trilogy much thought.  Of course, that was until I found out that there was a DVD of Star Wars with two versions.  That got me interested in the Original Trilogy.

I was more drawn to the Original Theatrical version (y'know, the crappy laserdisc transfer known as the GOUT?) than the Special Edition because the lightsabers in the GOUT looked better and more like the prequels than the Special Edition.  (Which is odd, because the reason Lucas made the Special Editions was to match the prequel trilogy)  Besides, the video quality looks pretty much the same on a 22" 4:3 TV.  I've grown to like the Original Theatrical version better than the Special Edition.  HAN SHOT FIRST!

Other interests of mine include Indiana Jones, Scamper the Penguin (both Indy and Scamper are in my avatar), Lost in Space (both the awesome 1965-1967 TV show and the awesome 1998 Bruce Broughton Concert/Robot Demonstration/Light Show), and, most recently, The Secret of NIMH.
