They released the special DVD set of the Star Wars trilogy today. I must have it. MUST. HAVE. IT. I called my mother and told her that was all I wanted for Christmas. She said "Oh my" in these motherly, indulgent tones. She knows how big a Star Wars fan I am. She remembers when I was nine and fell in love with that universe, and telling her how the main theme made me feel all excited and want to grab a lightsaber.

I haven't seen the first one since they re-released it in '97 (with that silly modification to make it look as though Greedo shot first. He did not! Han shot first! Don't make Han PC. He was an outlaw, a scoundrel, that's what makes him so cool). But I still remember losing myself as Luke stared at the double sunset, wanting to go there--I still remember staring up at the screen at the tiny Rebel runner, as the Imperial cruiser grew bigger...and bigger...and bigger, overtaking the Rebel ship. "You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor. Take her away!"

*Sigh* They're such great movies.

More Tweaking

Lucas has done more tweaking with the movies, including trying to undo the hurt of Greedo shooting first... now he shoots just barely first. Most changes are not so bad, but the final makes my skin crawl:
