Lucas Promises Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011
Several readers have written with word that George Lucas has announced a 2011 release date for the Star Wars series — all six films — on Blu-Ray. Engadget (linked) has an explanation of what to expect, and includes a video of a deleted scene that the Blu-Ray version will include. They warn that this might be a disappointment to anyone who (correctly) believes that Han shot first.

(that's the summary of Episodes I-III soundtracks)
that nigger is really milking it for all it is worth.
I stopped reading when you called Episode III Lucas' best film. It was utterly awful. The idea that Darth Vader, was such a whiny little b!7ch made it unwatchable.
you certainly have an unusual opinion. Ewoks are awesome, the original three were an awesome adventure. The prequels had no adventure to them, no mystery.
now, I don't know the certain answers to your questions, but it seems like you are missing some obvious points.
How is it that Darth Vader didn't sense Han coming up behind him when he was about to shoot down Luke in Episode IV?
I thought they sensed people who were strong with the force.
What happened to the force?
Nothing, Han never had the force. That was Luke.
Why didn't Obi-Wan kill Vader rather than sacrificing himself? He claimed that in death he would be more powerful, but his ghost did the same thing he did in life: guide Luke.
I think the point was that wisdom is more powerful than violence. Darth Vader only knew how to be violent, throw shit and strangle people. Vader tried to convert Luke to the dark side, but he was so pathetic that the other way round ended up happening, Luke converted him to the light.
We later learn that Luke never has the power to take on the Emperor himself, so wouldn't it have been better to eliminate Vader and then team up with Yoda and Luke and go after the Emperor?
I actually don't know what you are talking about, I just don't know. But the impression I got is that if they just resorted to violence, they would succumb to the dark side. When Yoda talked about Luke needing to confront Darth Vader, I think he meant emotionally, not just violently.
I loved redlettermedia's reviews of the prequels on youtube. Love them or hate them, they are super thorough reviews, and I loved the humor. Though, I have to admit, you probably won't like them.
I totally respect your opinion, but I don't see it being shared by many others.
Oh, and ewoks are AWESOME!
Your pickiness to state the "real" title with "quotes" is why nerds can't integrate with the rest of society in a meaningful way. You knew what he was talking about, I knew what he was talking about, and it's likely the majority of those who read his post knew it, too. You just *had* to show how smart you were.
The movie from 1977 is Episode IV. Regardless of the original title, that is what it's now called to eliminate confusion. You can get your nerd panties in a wad over it, or catchup 33 years.
>>>>>That's okay. I've still got my DVD copies of the original unaltered trilogy

>>Wow, that's pretty amazing. You have a version of SW on DVD which they stopped selling well before DVD's were invented.
Dear smart-assed anonymous coward:
Sometime around 2004 Lucas released the Special Edition on DVD, and he included the original, unaltered movies as bonus DVDs. I sold the SE on ebay and kept the bonus discs for myself. THAT's what I was talking about when I said, "Well at least I still got my DVD copies of the original".
