Re: OT - Star Wars trilogy out today
One of my new prized possessions is a DVD of the 2nd series of "spaced", an excellent comedy series here in the UK.
In one episode, the main character explains that he had to "make his peace with George Lucas" (this was filmed shortly after the release of TPM).
Cut to a 3-second clip of said character dressed like Luke at the end of ROTJ, watching a heap SW merchandising go up in flames in blatant pisstake of Vader's funeral pyre...
That's kind of how I feel. I used to love the original films, but after all the crappy prequels (I won't even bother watching the third) and the endless bastardisation/reselling of the originals, I've gone right off them. I won't be buying the DVD box set. If I can ever stomach it again, I'll dig out the original originals on VHS.
