Yet Another New Scene Added into the Star Wars Blu-Rays!!!
A few thoughts:
? Still better than “Jedi Rocks.”
? I am 99% certain the people who put on Star Wars Weekends fucking hate Star Wars.
? If you were at all irked when the Jawa came out with the Stormtrooper helmet drums, congratulations — YOU’RE A HUGE FUCKING NERD. I appreciate the company.
? For the life of me, I cannot fathom why Lucas approves this, but won’t put out the Holiday Special on DVD. The only difference between the two is that this is 90 seconds, the other is 90 minutes. Well, that, and in the Holiday Special an elderly wookiee watches human pornography.
? I will fully admit that an Ewok playing an electric guitar while dressed like Slash is totally fucking awesome. If I was rich, I’d hire somebody to do that 24/7, and just follow me around. (Via Gamma Squad)
