I just got a chance to check out that new BTH this morning, and I know what you are saying.  Very cool, IMO.  This is actually a part of ROTS that I'm looking forward to the most, Chewbacca (and more Wookiees) in action on their home planet.  Should be pretty cool to see, nice pic this week.

Heard another rumor: Wally and Kandi for Vince Carter :drool:

Ooo...that would be nice.  I know some people aren't real high on Vinsanity anymore, but the guy can play some hoop.  Plus, Wally and Kandi for him would be a good deal I think.  Probably won't happen, but interesting anyways.

Also, I read on CNNSi.com that there are rumblings that Jordan may be considering (another) comeback with the Miami Heat.  Sources include Kiki Vandewedge, the Miami paper, and Shaquille O'Neal (who claims Jordan has left several messages on his machine).  You can read it over at CNNSI.com, under that "Truth and Rumors" area.  Now, I'm as big of a Jordan fan as the next guy...and really, really enjoyed watching him play...but the constant retiring/unretiring thing is getting a little silly now.  I also heard somewhere that if Jordan did come back, that Karl Malone would sign on too.  I can just see it now, Dwayne Wade waiting at the other end of the court for the old men and Shaq to catch up to him   It would definitely be interesting though, and I do think Jordan could contribute, as long as he didn't have to be the star of the team.  If he could play 20-25 minutes a night, and go for 12/3/3 type numbers, he could fit in with them well.  Anyways, food for thought....

Congrats on the great find.  Hopefully these start popping up everywhere in the coming days/weeks/months now.  I just saw that someone had a review (with some pics) posted in the rebelscum forums...and really, all four of these figures look pretty good to me.  Might be one of the best waves overall, since all four figs look to be pretty good.  Really jonesin' for that Chewie, and the others look great as well.

Got a chance to watch ANH and ESB yesterday, and hopefully ROTJ tonight or this weekend.  I'm glad to see that many of you have been noticing the same things, feeling the same way about the DVDs as I have.  I agree with what Scott said, it was like watching new movies for the first time.  I kept commenting to my wife throughout both movies that I just couldn't believe how different, clearer, and better the movies looked.

I also noticed so many differences on Dagobah.  To me the whole planet and scenes on that planet seemed to be cast in a muddy brown color, but on these new DVDs, everything stands out so well.  Yoda is more color defined, and all the greens that can be seen in the Dagobah environment, everything just looks so nice.

To be honest, the changes I have seen so far in the first two movies haven't really bothered me.  I would have been fine with them leaving Boba's voice alone, but I guess it doesn't sound terrible.  The new Emperor scene, while the dialogue could have just stayed the same IMO, is probably an improvement visual-wise.  The new hologram looks better I think.  Jabba in ANH looks better than the original SE version, but still seems like they could do better than that.  While the Jabba doesn't look terrible, it doesn't look like the ROTJ version...and that sort of bothers me.

Anyways, little quibbles and changes aside, I am so happy to have these on DVD.  The movies truly have never looked better, at least of the ones I've seen (ANH and ESB), the sound is improved, and it is just a great way to enjoy my favorite movies of all time.  I keep saying it, but it is just amazing to me how different the movies look from the SE VHS tapes I bought (just a couple years back).  A great improvement, and I'm looking forward to watching Jedi soon too.

Congrats on the find Tydirium.  Hopefully these will start showing up en masse more so now with the DVD release.  This is a ship that...although it is a repaint...I'm really looking forward to.  Strange about the missing rocket/gun, and a cheap out again.  By the way, what are these running...about $30-ish?

For anyone who has/gets the DVD sets, the little featurette on the bonus disk entitled "Return of Darth Vader", is kind of neat.  I just had a chance to watch it quick over my lunch break, and I will admit, it had me pretty psyched for ROTS.  Its just going to be so cool seeing that character on the big screen again, in a different/new movie.  Anyone else have a chance to take a look at this yet?

Went to Wally World this morning to pick up the DVD ($38.88 at this particular store, by the way), and decided to pick up one of the "DVD Commemorative Sets" as well.  I know they are all rehashes, but I got the ESB one because I enjoy all things Han and Chewie.  They had the other two sets as well, and they were ringing up $9.88, which I guess isn't too bad of a price really for 3 (or 4 for ANH) figures.
