We all subscribe to this forum because of a hobby based on the fun and entertainment of watching movies. Ironic how we seem to forget about the fun part and are just looking for ways to better demonstrate the horsepower we have in our homes. The old "transfer" over "content" argument comes to mind. The fact is, the entire Star Wars franchise was never meant to be Oscar material. It was meant to be a fantasy of fun and adventure to take us to another galaxy for a few hours. The acting in every one of the films has always been a little more on the theatrical stage style. Remember, most of us saw this film when we were kids and got caught up in the wonder of it all. Now that we are in our 30's or quickly approaching it, we are not as easily impressed, but look at your kid's face, if you have one, and see their reaction. I guess being a kid at heart, I still get excited over these films (yes, even a good amount of The Phantom Menace) and Star Wars will always have a special place in my heart and hopefully this is something my young son and I can enjoy together for years to come.
