Sith Happens

Whoever said you can't get an education watching Science Fiction was dead wrong. Ian McDiarmid, who plays evil Chancellor Palpatine in the 2nd Star Wars trilogy, narrates a 70-minute recap of the Star Wars series as part of bonus DVD footage. You'll find the DVD with Sony Classical's original soundtrack recording of the movie. If it's been a while since you looked at the likes of Wookie , R2D2 or 3PO, you might want to come up to speed before you see : Episode III Revenge of the Sith.

On a side note, I stopped by Blockbuster on the way home tonight. The store manager was putting pre-viewed VHS tapes on sale. Buy two, get one free. I just snagged the first original Star Wars trilogy for $10.00. Oh, yeah!

Sweet deal on the trilogy!

Palpatine isn't necessarily evil, and the actor plays him in both trilogies (debatable on what is the 2nd trilogy, though). Wookie is a species -- not a character name. Thanks for the tip about the bonus DVD in the soundtrack, though, I didn't know that. What was the other movies you got and which one was free, and how much was the other?

Thanks for pointing out my mistake on Chewbacca vs. Wookie. I corrected it on the entry.
