Gotta love wasting energy to advertise the most epic movie saga finally getting the blu ray treatment. That's so [frick]ing cool. Plus it also proves a batsignal is totaly feasible in real life.

Can't wait to pick up the entire saga.

I met Anthony Daniels at the Pixar pimps-only early screening of Revenge of the Sith. He's pretty cool and there's no way I'm paying $100 for yet another version of the movies.

@Spiderman1995: If you're referring to Gredo shooing first, then you should be ashamed. That was from one of the original takes. They just didn't use to take. I think that they should have used it in the first place, though. It shows Han as more of a badass. He dodges a blast and then kills him.
