*Sorry, for some reason this wont format the way I want it to*

After the saga has been on DVD for about two years; me, my brother, and a friend decided it was about time we sit down and watch it all. Its much easier for my brother to find friends to share the experience with, being a guy (silly close minded, biased women).

Our parents are the ones who introduced Star Wars to us when we were younger, although we have since surpassed them with our obsession, so they popped in once in awhile. Me and my brother are the only ones who watched the whole thing (I wish I knew more fans ), my brother's friend had to leave after A New Hope, and our parents watched most of Clones Wars Volume II – Return on the Jedi with us.

The Schedule

Saturday, March 8

7:00 pm: Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace

9:30 pm: Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones

1:30 pm: Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

4:00 pm: Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back

Total watching time: 17 hrs

I really wanted to also watch Empire of Dreams, and finish things off with a round of Star Wars Trivial Pursuit Saga Edition, but we didn't have time. It would have been much better if it had been a long weekend. Even though one is coming up, my bro and his friend didn't want to wait any longer. They had been planning for weeks.

Afterthoughts

You know when you are listening to one of your favourite albums, you can hear the next song before it starts? I am sure some of you do that with movies too. You can see and hear the next scene before it starts. Well, I do that with Star Wars, but a lot of the scenes are not what I expect since I watched the original versions so many times before the Special Editions came out. It threw me off every time. The original versions were not necessarily better, but they are nostalgic to me now, and I wish I could watch them that way still. I had them on VHS for so long, but then I got the boxset and got rid of the VHSs. But if I am not mistaken, I believe the original versions came out on DVD about a year after the boxset, even though George Lucas swore he would never release them. Well, I am not the type to buy it twice. The thing I miss the most from the original version is the celebration song at the end of Return of the Jedi. Whenever I think of the celebration I get the old song in my head, and I almost cant remember the new one. I really wish I could find a place to download the original one. A lot of the other changes weren't a big deal to me. I like the new scenes of Luke riding into Mos Eisley, and of the Millenium Falcon flying into the cloud city, and also all the added windows. The new songs in Jabba's palace are odd, and seem out of place to me, but I didn't have any strong feelings for the originals. The stuff that most people considered major; Jabba in A New Hope, Greedo/Han shot first, Hayden Christensen in Return of the Jedi, didn't really bother me. *shrug*

For as long as I can remember I have been in love with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ok, maybe not as long as I can remember. It definitely started after Episode I came out but I cant remember exactly when. Ewan McGregor is definitely hot, but the character is what does it mostly. I have a thing for Jedi I guess. I love how serious and honorable they are. I find it very attractive, lol. I don't go for the bad boy in this case. Han is a great character, as is everyone, but I am not a fan in the way that a lot of women are. I never felt this way before this weekend, but I now find Luke attractive, mostly in Return of the Jedi. Now mostly Jedi. He handled himself excellently when taken to the Emperor, considering. The way he spoke. "I feel the good within you. Let go of your hate." And he was wearing a great black outfit the whole movie, not that it made him physically attractive, but really added to the persona. I love it.

It was a lot of fun of course, to watch the entire saga almost in one sitting. It felt different watching A New Hope after just finishing the prequel trilogy. At the end of Revenge of the Sith, Yoda and Obi-Wan are on Tantive IV, and we see Vader, and Leia being given to Senator Organa. Then, suddenly we are on Tantive IV again, 20 years later, and Vader and Leia are there. It really brings things together nicely.

Maybe I'll do it again in a few years.
