So… besides Mike Rowe *big grin*, we wanted to get the full effect of our new TV and decided to watch the Star Wars series again. Before the menu even came up I was shamelessly squeeing with glee! I have to say, the TV bloody rocks!!
Our I, II, & III are full screen so they were short but still awesome. When we go to IV, V, & VI, they were wide screen so that much more fabulous. The sound is that much more incredible too even though we had a surround sound hooked up to our old crappy TV. (Can I use another adjective here? Yes. The darn thing is totally bitchin’! )
It was fun watching them again. I was never the big Star Wars freak growing up. I saw it once in the theater while I had a friend that went over 60 times. It was a good movie, cool effects for that era but I wasn’t a major sci-fi buff. I didn’t even really read much back then. (Okay, by not much I mean not at all.) I never even got around to seeing I, II, & III until I bought the whole set at Target years later.
We watched them in order this time 1-6 (last time we went in the original order). While I’m drooling over Hayden Christensen,

(Loved him in ‘Jumper’!) I’m noticing an awful lot of ‘Light Saber droppage’. Seems to me, if this was their weapon of choice, the thing should have a strap like a Wii remote so you can’t have it knocked out of your hand by your opponent! Just kidding! I would never criticize the series that brought us this face:

Are you catching a theme here to me liking my new TV?
