Two Days and counting until the release of the Star Wars blu ray collection!!

If you are like me, an epic scale geek, then you are or were probably looking forward to the release of the Star Wars trilogies onto the blu ray format.  Which of course if you are just like me, then you are probably pretty upset right now with George Lucas continuing tampering with his work.  If Vader's NOOOO wasn't bad enough in Revenge of the Sith, now thanks to George Lucas' tampering we must now witness an encore of it in Return of the Jedi.

Rather than focus on the negatives, I decided since we are two days from the official release of the blu rays that I would focus on two of my  favorite moments of the entire saga

2. "I am your Father"

I really wish I was old enough to have seen this moment in the theaters.  Even now I realize how shocking of a moment it was when Luke found out that Vader was his father, but as a kid my first Star Wars film was Return of The Jedi, so as much as I understand it I can not fully comprehend the shock of that moment.  Still a classic moment and my second favorite of the saga.

1. The final duel in Return of the Jedi

As a kid this moment was my favorite, Luke beating Vader was awesome, the hero overcomes the villain everything is great.  Growing up I realized just how much more powerful this scene truly was, all of the emotion packed into it, which escaped me as a child watching it.  Though the duel is quite simple by today's standards, the emotion in that scene alone for me trumps any moment in the saga, from Luke recklessly and violently swinging his saber to the score  in the scene everything about it works for me.





That's it for this post wish I could put more details in that last description but I'm late for work.  Feel free to voice your favorite Star Wars moments below.
