Star Wash thoughts

I was just a kid when I read in a Danish sunday paper a big article about Star Wars. So at first I thought it said "Star Wash", maybe because it rhymes with car wash.

So what's the deal with everybody getting a hand cut off? Is that a symbolism I don't know?

They sure look good on blu-ray, particularly the newest ones. I don't really understand those who are not satisfied with cinema video quality, these films were made with some of the earliest cinema-resolution video cameras ever created (they were even prototypes developed in concert with LucasFilm), and the result looks just great to me.

And many more. Like this brilliant one:


(I recommend watching big on YT.)



... I was never all that much into the stories of star wars, but I loved many of the visuals and things like those huge walkers. They are just such a brilliant idea, and moved so well, sort of gracefully yet ponderously.
