Thanks for the review, Ron. I can't wait to get this disc! I am going to have a TPM and AOTC double feature for some friends after AOTC comes out. Should be fun.
Doug I find your opinion that the prequels are "lifeless" or "souless" differs significantly from mine. My three favorite scenes from the prequels (thus far) are:
1. The TPM "dinner scene" where little Anakin delivers the heart-breaking line: "No one can kill a Jedi!"
2. The Anakin "confessional" scene in AOTC where Hayden delivers his best performance as a young Jedi on the edge.
3. The scene with Anakin and his mother in AOTC, where a son has to watch his mother die....then he snaps. Another fine performance by Hayden (IMHO).
Now all these scenes barely have ANY special effects (with the exception of Jar Jar in #1 and possibly some digital backgrounds in #2). But they had an emotional impact on me, showed real character development and depth, and provided real groundword for Episode III and the OT. That is the sign of a talented director.
All in my opinion of course. Can't wait to hear Jango's depth charges on my system...
