This could be happening right now!

So says the original teaser for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, which I watched last night with great glee, as a got my hands on the new Star Wars Trilogy DVD set.

I gotta say, the picture quality is freakin’ amazing. I watched all the trailers and TV spots on the bonus disc last night after watching Episode IV, and I can’t believe how much the movies have been cleaned up for this release.

And because I can’t completely stay out of the Original/Special Edition debate, here’s my take: get over it. Stop your whining and enjoy the movies. Stop complaining that Greedo shoots first or that Jar Jar has been added to Jedi for .02 milliseconds. Move out of your parents’ basement, find a girlfriend, and do some smooching to get a fresh perspective on life.

It is okay, however, to complain that the lightsaber battles aren’t long enough, because they’re not. I watched the Episode III sneak peak on the bonus disc and I am drooling to see that lightsaber fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin. It’s gonna be sweet. In the mean time, I’m going to imagine lightsabers everywhere I go, especially one cutting off the wossnames of the kid who won’t pay me for hitting my car.
