Just like the birth of Christ, today will herald a new age of Man. From now on we shall record time from the day Lucas blessed us with the official STAR WARS TRILOGY on DVD. Now the real question is whether today is September 21, 0000 or September 21, 0001 SWTD.

In all reality I don’t know if I’ll even buy the thing. I mean, I have in fact seen these movies before. And as cool as the extras may be, I don’t know if I can rationalize the price tag when so many other cool DVDs are coming out, including Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. If you haven’t seen this film, I highly suggest it.

There are also numerous games that had peaked my interest. And coming full circle, one happens to be a Star Wars game. Star Wars Battlefront lets you participate in the key battles of the five movies from either side, playing a number of different characters and piloting all the fun vehicles. I think the moment I was sold was when I saw the commercial on TV and they highlighted the ability to shoot those adorable little Ewoks. The ability to blast an Ewok, hear his pitiful little scream, and stand over his battered body as an Imperial Storm Trooper; now this is something that speaks to me.

For those of you who indulge, enjoy the Lucas Opus in its crisp, beautiful state. The rest of you can continue to watch the version you taped of off TBS. Come on..admit it.
