OK, I've been floating around this forum for a long time now and I am all for preserving the original versions in the best possible format, but this is getting crazy. Pretty much all the talk on these forums is how to preserve this version and that version etc. It kind of goes against the point of this web site. Ultimately we would all love to have the original theatrical versions on DVD. But until that happens, if that happens, I still enjoy watching the trilogy on good old VHS. IT’S NOT THAT BAD! If you take proper care of your videocassettes, store them correctly, exercise them regularly, and if you have a decent VCR, and who doesn't these days, and if your television is set-up and calibrated properly, VHS can be pretty damn good. Of course it's not DVD, but I still enjoy these classic movies as much as I ever did. I still collect the trilogy on VHS. Whenever I find copies, I pick 'em up. Of all the different VHS releases, they are all slightly different (colour correction, etc.) I don't really know what I am trying to say here. Guess I'm just venting!

If he doesnt like it, why the hell is he doing it? What a moron. That makes NO sense whatsoever! If George would just tell the stories, have a professional write them and another professional direct them, maybe we might have something better.

Don't get me wrong. I liked TPM. It was just dissappointing at first. I think because NOTHING could have lived up to all that hype.

How many of you can relate to this?

5 years ago today, I was at work, tired as hell from the night before. It all started at about 10pm. We arrived at the theatre with our pre-orded tickets in-hand. We stood in line. Leafing through the fancy Episode I programme we bought in the lobby. Waiting paitently, hoping to get the best seats in the house. Finally, 11:30pm. The line slowly moves towards the theatre. A few minutes later we are seated and waiting once again. 12:01am. Show time! I think we all remember that feeling!

Approximatly 2hrs later, as we exit the theatre and walk to the car, I was asked, "so, what did you think? Did you like it?" All I could say was, "I'm not sure". I remember asking myself, "was that a good movie? Sure I enjoyed it, but was it a Star Wars movie?"

So there I am. At work. My head full of emotion. Was it dissappointment? Was it just too much to take in with only one viewing? Maybe after I see it again tonight (with my pre-orded tickets) will it make more sense. Did it?

It is now 5 years later. To the day. Now Episode II has come and gone. And it is only a mere 1 year till Episode III. More dissappointment? I'm sure. Is all this really, truely Star Wars. The Star Wars we loved as kids? Maybe it is and we just don't "see it" anymore.

Anyway, I may watch the DVD tonight, or I may not. Happy 5th Menace!
