I don't know what made me think of this, but I decided to sit down and watch the three original Star Wars movies yesterday and today. Wow, what great movies. It's interesting to watch the original three, and see how they were the true pioneers for almost all sci-fi movies that came before them. Sure, some of the technology is not up to today's CGI standards, but the story more than makes up for it.
It's also interesting to see how George Lucas has continued to try to improve them 20/25 years after they were originally released. The VHS set, which I have, contains some new material that wasn't in the original. Most notably, Lucas could add some new creatures (large and small) that weren't technically possible before.
And I have even heard, in the latest DVD set that is out, Lucas has fixed some of the obvious mistakes from the originals. It's amazing to me that some people can notice the differences between the shirt Hans Solo was wearing before he was frozen, the one he was in while frozen, and the one he was wearing after he was thawed.
