the unaltered theatrical Han-shoots-first-dammit versions

You mean the "Han is the only one who shoots" versions, right? :P

[zorac]

Er, yes. I just wanted to get the "shoots first" bit in there. Honest. *looks shifty* Perhaps it should be the Greedo-never-gets-a-chance-to-shoot-dammit version...

Is it Mr Benn's costume shop? Can you put on the outfit and stroll out onto the Death Star?

[zorac]

Alas, no - although that would be rather cool. That said, the shop is called "Fairy Godmother", so I could always see if she's in and can help with that...

I still want those releases--not that I'm going to get them, as am broke, but I imagine they will still be available on eBay long after the release has been called off. ;)

[zorac]

I somehow doubt that this will be a "last chance to buy". Besides, I've already heard rumours of a six-movie box set due out next year with "exciting new special features". Bloody money-grubbing Lucas...

[ashkitty]

No kidding. :p I don't even really need the special features...just the original movies. Which I still own on VHS from back in the 80s, but they're getting a bit worn out. ;)

[zorac]

Alas, I need a more compelling reason for that - I suspect that Darth Costume costs more than a shiny penny to hire...

[zorac]

Hmmm. Shapeless white dress and hair in ear buns. Not the galaxy's greatest look, really...
