Waiting for a Star Wars DVD is almost as fun as waiting for the movie release itself, since the bonus material is always so cool! I pre-ordered this DVD from Wal-Mart, just because they included an exclusive extra DVD (which turned out to be C-3PO narrating clips from the other five films), and it showed up it in my mailbox right on time. I love to watch deleted scenes, and they are pretty good here (though Lucas cheated a little by not completely finishing the effects on the best one!) - it's cool to see the first meetings of what would become the Rebel Alliance! The documentary features are actually way better than the deleted scenes. The major feature, Within a Minute, focuses on a single scene in the film (during the Mustafar battle) and dives into every single department that made the scene possible - even the catering department! It's really a fascinating documentary - it's cool to see George approving and nixing things at all the various meetings. I had no idea that some of the lava was actually filmed when Mt. Etna was erupting in Italy! I also really liked the web documentaries (since I hadn't seen any of them), since it's fun to watch bite-size segments of info. The biggest revelation for me is that Wedge (Red Two, of course) is Ewan McGregor's uncle! Of course, the movie itself is great to see, though I miss the big screen feel (it makes my 32-inch TV seem so tiny). By the way, you've got to see the hidden dancing Yoda clip! I definitely don't need to tell you to buy this DVD, because you probably already have!Labels: dvds, star wars
