I've got everyone beat. I actually special ordered the Laserdisc of Phantom Menace from Japan. I think the thing cost me over $100!
I chalk it up to brainwashing rather than hypocrisy.

On the bright side, I bet you can still jam with Star Wars' soundtrack on your 8-track.

Sounds like fun. Then, we can stay up until 4 in the morning drinking cheap beer and playing Goldeneye on the N64.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread
I own the DVDs of all the prequels and the Bluray complete box set. I also owned TPM VHS with the big box and small version of the art book. The only prequel I will watch anymore is ROTS but I own them all in various formats. It's all Star Wars. I feel compulsive to buy them in whatever format they are released. I also own ANH on Video Disc. Had it since I was a kid.

I'm just really pleased that so many of you fine folks are fans of TPM (give or take).
As Khev mentioned, all three PT films have merit - in parts, & reek equally in others. I think the Jango / Kamino scenes in AOTC are excellent, & some of the ground battle scenes from the clones' perspective towards the end, are great too.
I love the exchange between Palpatine & Anakin at the theater in ROTS - McDiarmid shines there. Of course the Mustafar battle was great too, but Anakin's lines & delivery toward the end, left me unsatisfied.
The sad reality is, you just can't sit through ANY of them from beginning to end.

I'm in a very small group of people who like AOTC best of the prequels.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread
LOL, I think you misunderstand me. I'm not saying I ordered it recently, I ordered back when Phantom Menace got released on VHS and GL had stated (at the time) that he had no intention to release it on DVD in the foreseeable future. So, I went for the next best option to DVD, which was Laserdisc. I owned a laserdisc player instead of a VHS player at that point.
He didnt release the laserdisc in the U.S. either, so my only option was the Japan released Laserdisc. Either that or abandon my hatred of VHS and buy a player and a tape of the movie.

I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing that this sounds like an awesome night.

I didn't have a laserdisc player, so I imported Phantom Menace on VCD.

Did anybody happen to watch Tonight's South Park?

Apparently they arent happy Star Wars is going to Disney. Funniest episode this season.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread
As much as I hate on the prequels, there's great stuff throughout. I love the Coruscant chase scene, I love the Arena battle, I love Count Dooku's character, I love seeing a Mandalorian in battle with a Jedi, Ian McDiarmid in any of the three prequels....
But the story? The dialogue? No. No thank you.

I'll see your list and raise you:
-Watto
-Coruscant
Yeah. That's about it. Qui-Gon is awesome because unlike any other actor in the PT, Liam Neeson never comes off corny. Even when he grabs Jar Jar's tongue at dinner, I don't roll my eyes at his actions or his stern "Don't do that again." As cool as he is, him being Obi-Wan's master does conflict with Obi-Wan's story in ESB/RotJ of Yoda training him, but that's explained by the fact Obi-Wan was once a Youngling being trained by Yoda
Actually "younglings" were cool in Jude Watson's "Jedi Apprentice" series. That was probably the best EU to come from the prequels. That and "Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter."
