I think A New Hope. Episode II was "I've got a bad feeling about this".

Some one needs to say it...

If you REALLY loved Star Wars you would have never wanted it changed.

I hear ya! Star Wars was my first favorite movie. I still watch the OT at least once every other month. I'm just as much a Star Wars fan now as I was when I was 5. I really wanted to love the SE's and the PT, but I just can't appreciate needless addition's or changes, or in regards to the prequels, just really shitty films. It doesn't make me love the OT any less. I'm a Star Wars fan, just not a George Lucas fan. All this "TRUE FAN" crap is just pointless Lucas fan boy posturing. We can say that till we're blue in the face, and it won't make any difference.

You are wrong, that phrase is in all 6 movies......some say very, some say really.

You're wrong. Technically a variation of that specific phrase is in each of the six films. The answer to the trivia question is both A and C. Luke utters it as the Falcon approaches the Death Star in IV and Han Solo quips it as he's hanging on the Ewoks' spit in VI.

I've seen key parts of TPM in 1080p and it looks spectecular! There are indeed a few shots, that look like DNR was applied, but they are very rare and only last for a few seconds. Most of the time the picture is filled with detail. The amount of detail is incredible. Everything is so crisp, yet it looks smooth at the same time. Kinda like Episode II + III. I guess that was Lucas' intention with this new transfer. The filmgrain is almost completely gone and the screenshots look kind odd, but don't be fooled by them. The movie looks so much better in motion. It plays in a whole different league. The Tattooine scenes are not as sharp as the rest of the film. The color has been re-timed as well. It looks much more natural and the annoying red/pink tint from the DVD is finally gone. I like its new look very much. TPM has never looked better. Period. Then on to the sound. It's phenomenal. Reference in every regard! The pod race sounds so sick. The same goes for the spaceship battles, the battledroid scene and the lightsaber fights. Dialogue is crystal clear and sounds very natural. The few changes I noticed were executed very well. Overall, this is an amazing presentation of the film. Very happy with it. Can't wait to get the Blu-ray next Friday and enjoy the entire movie!

The changes I remember were in Episode 6: They added the Senate and the Jedi Temple. In the 1997 Edition, neither of those were there. Just a pan of Coruscant and Palpatine's statue being pulled down.

Don't forget! The premise of the Quiz Slide is "Do You Remember?"

Wait, what's that other ad in the Star Wars display: 13 bucks for The Padawan Menace (only at Walmart)? What's that?

EDIT: never mind...I figured it out...a young Han Solo lego figure. That's funny. Does he say "Noooooo!" in the cartoon?

As I recall, it's a LEGO STAR WARS special that was broadcast on Cartoon Network recently.

I don't agree with this at all. As a kid I had every Star Wars toy that I could get my hands on and loved SW and ESB. Then ROTJ came out and it wasn't as good but I liked it. I really don't like the prequels much. They're okay as set pieces and scenes here and there, but overall as movies, they're not great. Up until the prequels I would say I was a huge fan. So because George Lucas made 3 mediocre SW movies I should not consider myself a SW fan? I don't think that makes sense.

Any updates on the best pricing? So far it looks like I'm cancelling my Amazon pre order and going to Target.
