Oh, you of little faith. Power, these cookies have... great power. Jedi cookies. With high midichlorian count.

Ah hell, I just ruined the secret of the cookies. Damn. No fun anymore.

I'll trade my VHS copies of the 1997 SEs for a box of any of these cookies:


It's great, but it's expensive and there are only 10 cookies in a single pack. Rip off.


Chocookie!



Another expensive one, but I can eat a whole pack in a couple of minutes


And my favorite:


Wookie Cookies! Yummy... Reminds me of Life Day in Kashyyyk...

Well, you see, it's VERY low quality. First of all, it's the SEs. Second, I taped it on EP speed, so I could get ANH and ESB on one tape.

Ah! But on the second tape I have ROTJ, the SE, and... Drunken Master II, the original Hong Kong cut! I should get at least 10 cookies for Drunken Master II, the best Jackie Chan movie ever made!

The movies seem fine to me. I was reffering to the quality. It is very grainy and washed out. There are quite a few scenes where you can't tell where Vader's cape ends and the shadows behind him begins.

I got the tapes for Christmas in 1997. And they've deteriorated much more than anyone had expected in seven years.

Sorry, that was really bad. I'm full of awful jokes.


Anywho, that is why I am looking forward to the DVDs. And so I can skip the akursed Jedi Rocks.

But the dark side is so tempting... filled with state-of-the-art CGI and some behind the scenes footage... New Jabba, Gungans, Greedo shooting at the same time as Solo...

i'm gonna be honest with you...
i'm also very tempted by these...

but for once im gonna make a stand in my life... for something i believe in...
not many people can say they've resisted such an urge... but now i can say i have after September 21st...

and when i think about every other DVD i've bought... they all make me 100% happy...
theres not one thing i dislike in any of my titles...

so why should i purchase a movie that i wont enjoy watching 100%...
thats just stupidity... sure it looks good and sounds great but whats that without any substance...

i might as well go to a McDonalds and buy a meal i wont end up enjoying... or hell why not buy a car that doesnt have the features i like...
if you can honestly say that you don't like the changes in these movies but still end up buying them....
i feel it shows the impact that Lucas really does have on you...

I've known you for a year and a half now. For all but one month of that time, I've been Shit Outta Knee and Shit Outta Elbow. Try again.

The only guy motti won't shoot in the forums is DAYV. I will admit to being tempted, but I'll just rent 'em so I can see the doc.

Haven't you seen that South PArk episode? As soon as you open the DVD case, the ghost of Sebastian Shawn gets out, throws a lightning on your guts, and melts you down!
