We're taking bets that it is time to talk Star Wars...

Well the day has almost arrived. The one day this year that can make me and millions of guys from the ages 18 to 50 as excited as when the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue comes out. Yes, that day is almost here. The day that the Star Wars Trilogy comes out on DVD!!! Tuesday September 21st, 2004 will easily be a day that rivals Christmas Eve in terms of DVD sales.

Thousands of people have made fun of Star Wars Nerds. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was probably the funniest. (STAR WARS NERDS) I am not going to even try to make fun of these people because I love Star Wars too. Not enough to dress up for one of the movies, but deep down I wanted to be Luke Skywalker or Han Solo.

If you don't remember anything about Star Wars let me give you some highlights of the three movies.

Star Wars
* Little Starship getting enveloped by ENORMOUS Starship. Very cool. Never scene before in any movie. Almost not topped in any movie beginning ever.
* Darth Vader enters. Perhaps the coolest bad guy ever imagined. Big, Strong and the deepest voice possible. Try to find a better villian.
* Luke finding his Uncle and Aunt fried to death. Really gross actually, but sets the movie moving forward.
* Death Vader using the death grip on the smarmy Imperial Guy. You don't know how many times I wished I could do that. In meetings, with dumb people, just for fun. The possibilities are endless.
* Obi-Wan uses the force for the first time in the SandSpeeder on the StormTrooper. Try those lines with a cop; I bet it gets you arrested.
* Obi-Wan uses his lightsaber for the first time. Awesome. Killing one of the ugliest and stupidest characters of Star Wars Lore (Jar Jar Binks is the stupidest.)
* The Millenium Falcon. Nuff Said.
* Luke seeing Leia for the first time. Admit it Carrie Fisher was kind of hot. What happened I don't know, but I think it was booze and drugs.
* Obi-Wan seeing Luke then getting killed by Darth Vader. Let me hold back the tears.
* "STAY ON TARGET" One of the greatest lines in the movie. Used to death my billions since especially while driving on the highway.
* The Death Star blowing up. What a great ending. The Rebels have won and the Empire is defeated. NOT QUITE!

Empire Strikes Back
* Hands down the best movie of the series. Cool Locations - Great Fights - Drama - Laughter - Tears. Should make everyones Top Ten All-Time Movies.
* Leia kissing Luke. Real Funny. Gross now, but funny at the time.
* Yoda appears and is the coolest puppet ever. If a puppet could be bad ass he would be on top of the list.
* The first appearance of Boba Fett. His armor was kick ass. One of the few people that you think could actually make it out of Compton even wearing that outfit. Too bad he died like a punk.
* Lando Calrissian appears and everyone wonders if they sell Colt 45 in space.
* Vader and Luke fighting for the first time. Excellent fight scene. Luke is totally overmatched.
* Han getting frozen in carbonite. Here come the tears. Stupid Lando.
* He's what? No sir? No way!!! HIS FATHER? The only thing that would have been more surprising would be that Vader was also his mom.
* Cliffhanger ending. What the heck is going to happen next?!?

Return of the Jedi

* Jabba the Hutt is the probably the grossest villian ever. He is not only gross, but he died in one of the coolest ways by being strangled by a half-naked Princess Leia.
* Seeing Princess Leia in a whole new light. Who new she had boobs?
* The Sarlaac Pit. Is there a more evil way to die?
* Boba Fett dying by stupidity. Worst Death ever in any movie.
* Meeting the ewoks on Endor. Aren't they just the cutest?
* That weird guy on the Millenium Falcon. Did he even have a name?
* Absolute bawling when the ewok died and his friend tried to wake him up. It is making me teary even now.
* Finding out Leia is Luke's twin sister. This was almost as shocking as the Dad thing, but don't you think that Maury Povich would have had an intergalactic special reuniting them someday anyway.
* The Celebration Ewok Song. Yubba Dub Dub. I could hear that every night and it doesn't get old.

So many memories. So little time. AHHHHH it's 11:15 I have to get in line for my copy. Hopefully I will run into some of those STAR WARS NERDS!!!!
