Star Wars Marathon
Kent, Shaun and Chris came over tonight and we watched A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. We decided against continuing on to Return of the Jedi as it was going to put us at a finishing time of about 1:30 or 2 in the morning.
All-in-all, I'm extremely pleased with the changes that have been made to the films - they make the who series draw together rather nicely. While Jabba still looks like an animated slug, Han stepping on his tail looks a lot better ... and Jabba really does look a lot more like his ROTJ counterpart. Han and Greedo firing at the same time is better than Greedo shooting first, but it's still rather ... clumsy feeling. The best scene, by far in my opinion, is the replacement of that sub-par Emperor in TESB with Ian McDermid in full Emperor makeup. The image quality is so much better, too. And the way they discuss the appearance of Luke Skywalker is pretty cool.
Everyone left, several more visitors surprised at how awesome it is in this section of Jersey City.
