First, I'll openly admit that I like the film. In fact, I'd personally place it right next to "Revenge of the Sith", in terms of overall quality. The story has so many elements to it (mystery, action, suspense, romance, etc.), and I often find myself almost totally immersed in it. When I'm watching this movie (or any of the "Star Wars" saga, for that matter), I'm not psycho-analyzing every detail; I'm paying attention to the characters, and letting the story unfold on its own. In all seriousness, I think a lot of people put way too much analysis into this. On the whole, "Star Wars" is meant to be a reflection of an older, more stylized form of storytelling. It doesn't adhere to the "norms" of present-day culture, and its not supposed to.

Right on! I particularly liked the mystery and romance, well, and action, and suspense, etc., but that was something we had never seen in a SW episode before. Awesome. Love it!
Regardless of what "they" say!

Didn't we discuss the meaning of SW once, and it just revealed how multi-layered they really are??? You have me stunned, as one time you go on about how profound they are, and then you say they are mere entertainment.
I don't get it!

So are we getting the best possible aspect ratio? I heard different things on different sites.

They will be in their OAR, so no need to worry at all.

We don't know what was discussed behind closed doors, but you can see restrained disappointment.

Sorry, I have seen this documentary many times, and just watched the clip on Youtube again, but I cannot see what you see.
It's your interpretation. Nothing more.
And folks! Back to SW again! It won't have any switching aspect ratios.
That's a given!
