Ain't It Cool News is an incoherent mess as a whole, so Harry's writing fits right in.

I haven't watched the original trilogy in 2-3 years and I've been holding back for the Blu-ray release, even though I was itching to watch them months ago. Can't wait!

The only retailer really offering a Pre-Order Incentive is Best Buy. It's a Faux "Film Frame". And good luck finding one that still has copies available for Pre-Order. I went to order my 2 copies last night when Best Buy finally dropped to $79.99. No copies available right now for Pre-Order near me.

Target will have a Collection of 8 Lithographs from what I understand. And Best Buy will have a T-Shirt.

No, and neither can George Lucas

Mavrick · 09-10-2011, 09:57 PM

During his time in hiding he had a slip in the shower and banged the part of his head that held the memory of the droids

As you grow older your midichlorian count decreases, thereby causing memory loss.

I used to attribute it to his old age. I was just wondering if you guys knew something I didn't.

He does. He just acts like he doesn't. Don't you see the look on his face and the musical cue when he first sees R2?!! He says he doesn't ever remember owning a droid because he didn't, he never owned R2.

Y'know, for an 80 year-old guy, his voice is still there:

Would you recognize a toaster that your friend had, from twenty years ago? He's probably seen many R2 units. Or maybe he's just keeping it on the DL in front of Luke. Also, he says "I don't recall ever owning a droid", because he didn't.

When something unusual like that comes up, it's best just to assume it was the force.

Who says he doesn't? He simply says that he doesn't remember owning a Droid.

R2-D2 wasn't his droid. It was Anakin's. So what he said was true, from a certain point of view.

But yeah, like Frogmort said... droids in the Star Wars universe are considered nothing more than tools.

Only Luke and Anakin really treat them as anything more. You'll notice the first thing Bail Organa has done is mind wipe Chatty Kathy aka C-3PO.

I got my Complete Saga from BestBuy.ca for $67.99 during last weeks labour day sale. I had been waiting to check Costco but I'm not sure they would have it for much cheaper then what I paid. Now just have to wait for launch.

Barbossa · 09-10-2011, 10:07 PM

Out of interest regarding ESB - will we or won't we hear that annoying added scream from Luke as he falls down the shaft when ending his arm-chopping encounter with Vader?

Beast · 09-10-2011, 10:10 PM

The Luke Scream was added for '97. And then removed for '04. From various reports I don't believe it's in this version either.

Romansh · 09-10-2011, 10:17 PM

Maybe Obi-Wan was just upset to see R2 instead of R4 and decided to act as if he didn't know R2

Very very little. The sound is the only real improvement.

I'll be sticking with the Adywan versions
