Star Wars Episode I: 3D. It sucks.

that's awesome.



Now I'm concerned, though. Being that his father died two years ago, if he'll then start to think that we all lied to him and maybe his father is also out there, somewhere, an evil dude trying to destroy the galaxy and look for his son.

Hah, if he were two years younger he might start thinking that but I think with a 6 year old you'll be OK.

serious dilemma: the 6 year-old nephew really wants to see this. He likes Star Wars stuff (has his share of lightsabers and costumes, though it took several years for him to give a damn about it), but he hasn't seen the movies and is "highly concerned that he isn't a true Star Wars fan." meaning, he doesn't know the story.

So, of course, I need to get him exposed to the original films, first, and try best to ignore these craps, even though he is going to be bombarded with it from the other kids at school.

....How exactly does one obtain the fan-made "fixed" versions of the remastered (and I think they now have HD?) original series? I know there is one DVD set that one can purchase on Amazon, but sound is borked for the un-Lucased versions.

The last copies of the trilogy that I owned were the Collector's edition VHS (letterboxed) set. I abandoned those some time ago, seeing as how I no longer had a VHS player.

Google "Harmy Star Wars Despecialized Edition". It's 720p, but it's still better than the Blu-Rays, which are chock full of Lucas bullshit.
