What exactly is it? Star Wars? What's that? Battling actors? Paris Hilton 'v' Posh?

[tongue firmly lodged in cheek]


The new films just don't have the same appeal to me as the original did back in the day! I remember going to the cinema to see the original....WOW. Real story. The new films just don't cut it IMHO.

Nice one Brains :thumbs: the youngsters of today don't realise just what an innovative film episode IV ( a new hope) really was, nearly 30 years ago :D

All 6 films exist as part of a complete story. The original Trilogy holds a special place in my heart too and the newer films can't compete with that.

Get to meet Dave Prowse though :D (the guy in the Vader suit in eps IV-VI) and Billy Dee Williams (Lando).

I know what you are saying Matt But think back to what "competion" there was 29 years ago it really was a ground breaker in many ways. IV -VI will always be my favorites I have I-III but watch IV more than the rest put together ( when I get the time :D )


Enjoy! (I am sure you will)

The story line seemed much simpler on the originals....Episode I just confused the hell out of me....and as for that stupid alien with the big tongue!

Theres a new fan edit dvd been brought out by your hairdresser Neil.

Bloke called Wookie Groomer has released a DVD which has all 6 films playing concurrently at the same time on the same screen. 8 selectable audio channels (1 for each film, an instrumental track which chooses the best audio from the selection at the time, all 6 movies at the same time)

Its mad.
