In a couple of weeks, I'm going to buy the Star Wars trilogy for the fourth time, as Lucasfilm is finally releasing DVDs of the movies as they were originally seen in theaters.
StarWars.com is showing a cool slideshow of the differences between the original 1977 film and the 2004 "Special Edition." Under each scene, there is a caption that extolls how much better the Special Edition looks, but to me, the slideshow actually shows just how much they screwed up the film with all of the CG "enchancements".
I can't wait to see the original film again as I saw it in theaters in '77. Han shot first!
Check out the Pasadena Star-News for a story and video of the announcement. (The paradeis held in Pasadena, CA) <a href="http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/news/ci_4365690">http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/news/ci_4365690</a>
