War Among the Stars

I was in a rare mood to pick up an action/adventure movie yesterday as I was browsing through the Stadtbibliothek ("city library"). Incidentally, the Stadtbibliothek happens to have (multiple copies of) all of the six Star Wars films lined up neatly under the "S" DVDs. Incidentally, I have only seen Episodes I and IV. (Sorry, S. I think you tried to show me the fifth one once, but it was already late at night and I think I fell asleep. The only recollection I have is of slitting open the belly of a dead, giant, ride-able creature thing in order to spill out all its guts with a resounding *squelch* and keep warm underneath them.)

So! I thought it would be interesting, with the exception of Episode IV, which I haven't seen in a long time anyway, to see all of them more or less in sequential order as they were originally intended. We'll see how this progresses. I am definitely curious.

By the way, I feel that the following two videos are a Star Wars spoof must-see, especially if you are a fan. Brilliantly executed. And there is so much italicizing in this post.

Star Wars Shortened - Part 1

Star Wars Shortened - Part 2
(For those of you who have been blessed enough to see the Reduced Shakespeare Company's The Complete Works of Shakespeare: Abridged, a personal favorite, the first guy you see in the red shirt is Adam Long, who helped write and perform it originally.)
