Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe and Lao-Tzu, Einstein, Morobuto, Buddy Holly, Aristophanes .. and all of this .. all of this was for nothing unless we go to the stars.

Well, we did that with DVD and look at the slipshot treatment it received. Apparently you need to be nerd-specific with George Lucash.

I agree. I do not yet own a HD television so the GOUT actually looks good enough for me right now (except for all that nasty grain in SW and ESB) but I'm thinking of what will be in my house five years from now. I feel the Original Unmolested Trilogy should be scanned in high definition, restored to a perfect, grainless, scratchless, slice-tapeless, blemish-free print without changing color temperature, FX, adding or subtracting anything of conceptual value, and presented anamorphically for widescreen. ALL of the original mixes should be presented as audio options in the highest quality the format will allow. For SW, the crawl should be selectable between '77 and '81. And deleted material should be restored in HD and presented as a supplement, including the original Jabba scene with the fat guy stand in.

Star Wars HD presentations should be a pioneer in the field, not a Johnny-come-lately.

Finally, somebody independent of THX should certify the release. The THX-certification on the 2004-2006 releases was nothing less than corporate nepotism.

Midichlorians. Unquestionably. We took the concept of a mystical force that can be communed with by anybody who believes and trains their mind and turned it into a 4400 ability, attainable to only those with the right level of nanoscopic thingies in their bloodstream. It was as if to say achieving zen has nothing to do with your state of mind, but how much brown rice is in your diet.
