SCREW YOU BLUERAY! D:< I CAN'T AFFORD YOUR PLAYER YET!


Also - Sweet!
 
Even though "may the 4th be with you" makes you sound like a derp with a speech impediment, this is cool info. And I like Star Wars more than I like cheesecake.

Too bad I don't give a rat's ass about Blu-Ray. >>; Soooo fexspensive.
 
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffffff- -breathes- fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I can't afford Blu-ray D:

Let alone a DVD.

Gosh darn it George!

EDIT: But yay <3333
 
Blu-ray, why you so expensive???


I found this and thought it belonged here for obvious reasons.

ImsogoingtogetthisItotallyfuckinghavebluerayplayermang

And yes, I'm fucking serious about the above nonspaced sentence.
 
I have a PS3.

IT'S AWESOME.

(Dark Knight is amazing on blu-ray).
 
*goes to make a joke about PS3s and Blu-Ray players and decides not to* HOORAY RE-RELEASES OF EVERYTHING!

._. When is the original trilogy going to show up in 3d already?
 
WHEN WE DISCOVER TIME TRAVEL AND DO IT IN 3D.
 
The art makes me go lol. It's all lame for the prequels but awesome for the originals.

Observe~

AND NO, I DON'T JUST THINK THAT BECAUSE DARTH VADER IS ON THE COVER FOR IV V VI... >:[ *hides fangirly Darth Vader merch in a closet*
 
And if you really want to prolong things, well Revenge of the 5th.
 
I like how people get butthurt about the prequels.... *You all have revealed something very important to me.*
 
Like I've told you Rorybro, I like to pretend the prequels just don't exist. That way, I don't have to know that Darth Vader used to be a whiny wusspuss.
 
In Ewan Macgreggor's words on the subject of the Star wars movies, "There is the Trilogy, and then those movies I was in."
 
I liked the Phantom Menace including Jar-Jar (even if he's an offensive racist stereotype!) *waits to be boo'd and hissed at*
 
Someday I'll get one of the authentic Darth Vader costumes. Then I'll take a day trip to Washington just to knock on Fluffy's door wearing it.
 
Oh, well, since Chaos is doing it, I guess I won't. =/
 
So, September seems so far away, and yet so close. I preordered them.

I didn't mind the prequels as long as I didn't think of them as canon. Then I raged. Because if Vader was that much of a bitch as a kid, then why make the originals?
 
Now now, I welcome any person dressed as Vader to my doorstep.
