Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope...
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a daydreaming farm boy named Luke Skywalker on the desert planet of Tatooine discovers a secret message in the memory banks of a small astromech droid called R2-D2. The tenacious little robot leads the young farmer and his golden protocol droid, C-3PO, to the home of a mysterious hermit who holds the secrets of Luke's past...and future. The hermit's name is Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he is a Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan explains to Luke that he once fought alongside the boy's father, a long dead Jedi named Anakin Skywalker, that Anakin was killed by a dark and twisted former Jedi named Darth Vader, and that his hope was for Luke to carry on in the Jedi ways. Obi-Wan teaches Luke about the Force, an all-encompassing energy field created by life itself that gives the Jedi their seemingly supernatural abilities, from levitation to precognition, to incomparable speed and reflexes. The old Jedi also passes on to Luke the lightsaber of his father and teaches the boy to use the Jedi weapon, a sword of pure energy with the power to cut through nearly anything with the greatest of ease. Together, the aged Jedi, his new apprentice, and the two droids embark on a mission set forth by the message carried within R2-D2; a message from Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan asking Obi-Wan Kenobi to deliver the astromech droid safely to her home planet, for he also carries the secret plans that could help the rebellion destroy the evil Emperor's greatest weapon, the Death Star.
Hiring a seedy Corellian pilot named Han Solo and his copilot, Chewbacca the Wookie, to fly them to Alderaan in the starship freighter the Millennium Falcon, Luke, Obi-Wan, and the droids are soon traveling through space at hyper-speed, doing their best to avoid the clutches of the evil Empire along the way. They shortly find themselves unwelcome guests in the lion's den, however, when their search for the now non-existent Alderaan lands them in the heart of the Death Star itself, a space station the size of a small moon with the fire power to destroy an entire planet with one laser blast! Together, the small band of heroes takes the opportunity to perform a dangerous rescue mission, saving the beautiful Princess Leia from the Emperor's vile henchman, Darth Vader, but not without first losing one of their own in the escape. It is now up to the remaining heroes and their princess to see the vital information within R2 is safely delivered to the rebel alliance, and that the Death Star is finally destroyed!
Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back...
It is a dark time for the rebellion. Luke Skywalker and his friends have set up a new base on the ice planet of Hoth, but it is not long before their secret location is discovered by the evil Empire. After narrowly surviving an attack by a Wampa snow-beast, Luke and the rebels must flee the invading Imperial Forces, but not without putting up a fight first. What follows is a fantastic battle between snowspeeders and huge, 4-legged walking machines called AT-ATs, a necessary defensive in order to allow the large rebel transports to get away. In the mayhem of escape, however, the tight-knit group of friends, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia Organa, C-3PO, R2-D2, and of course Luke Skywalker, must divide. While struggling to survive in the harsh snow of Hoth, Luke had earlier received a visitation from the spirit of his old teacher, Obi-Wan Kenobi, instructing him to go to the Dagobah system and seek out a Jedi Master called Yoda to continue his training. With R2 as his co-pilot, Luke departs Hoth in his X-Wing Fighter for the mysterious destination, while Leia is forced to escape with Han, Chewie, and 3PO in the Millennium Falcon, a ride she is less than pleased to take.
As Luke makes his way to the strange, swampy planet of Dagobah, Princess Leia fends off the romantic advances of intergalactic rogue Han Solo aboard the Falcon, Darth Vader in hot pursuit of their ship. The Falcon's hyper-drive damaged, Han leads the Imperials into an asteroid field hoping the dangerous maneuver will cause them to give up chase, but when the asteroid cave they take up residence in displays a mind and appetite of its own, they are forced to come up with a new plan. Attaching their ship to the hull of Darth Vader's Star Destroyer, they manage to disappear from detection by the Imperial crew long enough to float away with the massive Destroyer's garbage discharge, but legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett is wise to their plan and informs the Empire of the Falcon's next destination, Cloud City. Meanwhile, Sith Lord Darth Vader holds conference with his dark master, the evil Emperor Palpatine, via holographic technology. Together, the two plot to recruit the son of Anakin Skywalker into their perverse household, or kill him if he refuses.
On the eerie swamp planet of Dagobah, Luke Skywalker seeks out his new teacher in the ways of the Force, the elusive Master Yoda. What he finds is a small, green, inquisitive creature that offers to show him the way. Reluctantly, Luke follows the aged little alien, only to be baffled by the discovery that this creature is the Jedi Master himself. After some convincing by the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda agrees to take on the padawan learner. Under his instruction, Luke begins to learn the intricacies of the Force, the differences between the dark and the light, and the mastery of his new, Force-given powers. Most importantly, Luke learns the dangers of being seduced by the Dark Side of the Force and the ease with which such a transformation can take place.
As the Millennium Falcon reaches Cloud City, a beautiful, floating, gas-mining colony run by Han Solo's old friend, Lando Calrissian, they are greeted by some none-too-friendly security skiffs. This is no comfort to the already concerned little band of rebels, who are not exactly at ease about what sort of "friend" Lando Calrissian may turn out to be. Soon enough, old friends bid seemingly warm welcomes, and introductions are exchanged as well. Lando proves to be a charming diplomat of a scoundrel; as friendly as can be, but more concerned about numero uno than even Han Solo used to be, as the Falcon's crew will soon find out. For it is not long before they are also greeted by their old nemesis, Darth Vader. Han Solo is soon suffering under the Empire's vicious means of torture, all in an effort to lure Luke Skywalker into Vader's clutches by way of telepathically sensing his friend's anguish. And, it's not just Han's suffering Luke senses, but that of Leia as well, who is coming to terms with her true feelings for the Falcon's brave captain; and the suffering of the wookie co-pilot Chewbacca, who has devoted his life to protecting his friend and partner, Han Solo. Luke is soon determined to join his friends on Cloud City, despite his training being incomplete. His teachers, Yoda and Obi-Wan, advise against the action, another unwise choice the padawan will have to live with and learn from after more than one failure during his training on Dagobah; and that's IF he survives this new mistake. By making his way to Cloud City in an attempt to help his friends, Luke is forcing an all too early confrontation with the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Vader!
Star Wars, Episode VI: Return of the Jedi...
While the evil Galactic Empire hastens construction on its new, second Death Star, Luke Skywalker's loyal droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, carryout their role in a rescue mission to retrieve their friend Han Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt. As the two droids procure servants positions in the slug-like Jabba's desert palace on Tatooine, Princess Leia Organa arrives in the guise of a bounty hunter named Bousch, Chewbacca the Wookie in tow as her supposed bounty. Newest rebel recruit Lando Calrissian already in place and disguised as a palace guard, the stage is set for the final arrival, would-be Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, bringing with him the consequences of Jabba's refusal to be paid for Han Solo's freedom. However, before that happens, the plan is for Leia to free Han herself that night. The attempt is unsuccessful. While the princess does manage to free Han from his carbonite prison, Jabba and his cronies catch Leia in the act, and she soon finds herself clad in metal slave-girl garb and kept on the end of a leash at Jabba's side. Han, on the other hand, is locked away in the same dungeon cell his partner Chewbacca is being held in. The two share a bittersweet reunion. As day breaks again, Luke Skywalker arrives to take matters into his own hands, but his threats upon Jabba land him in the mobster's rancor pit, and he is forced to exterminate the great beast. This angers the Hutt intensely, and Luke and his crew are immediately sentenced to death by Sarlacc. The prisoners are loaded onto a skiff, and Jabba and his followers board a sail barge to the pit of the Sarlacc, sunken within the hot desert sands of Tatooine. As Luke Skywalker is prodded onto a plank over the deadly pit, an immense creature made of beak and tentacles eagerly waiting below, he offers Jabba one final chance to free the small group of rebels or pay the price of death. This amuses Jabba, but the death sentence stands. A signal to his loyal astromech droid, R2-D2, sends a lightsaber through the air and into the waiting hands of Luke Skywalker, who immediately takes action. As Leia strangles her massive Hutt captor with her slave chain, Luke and Lando battle the skiff guards and take back possession of their droids and friends Han and Chewie.
Soon, the group of friends is back with the rebel alliance planning out their next course of action. All except for Luke, who has traveled back to the swamp planet of Dagobah with R2 in an attempt to finish the Jedi training he began there. It's a difficult reunion for the Jedi padawan. His master, Yoda, is on his deathbed, only waiting for this last chance to speak to Luke before giving himself up to the Force. For Luke, it's a time for closure on a subject that has eaten away at him since his battle with Darth Vader on Cloud City. Yoda confirms his darkest fears. Darth Vader IS Luke Skywalker's father, the once good and caring Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, seduced and corrupted by the wicked Emperor Palpatine decades ago. Yoda also informs Luke that only a final and successful confrontation with his father will make him a true Jedi Knight and stop the Emperor's reign of evil. Yoda passes away, his last breath revealing the secret of one other existing Skywalker child. The spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives to console Luke as he emerges from Yoda's tiny home. It is Obi-Wan, Luke's first Jedi teacher, who helps reveal to Luke the secret identity of his unknown sibling and guides him to the right course of action.
Luke and R2-D2 return to their friends and the Rebel Alliance in time to join General Han Solo's team on a mission to take out a shield generator on the forest moon of Endor. The shield it provides protects the Emperor's new Death Star, hanging high in the skies above. As Han, Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, and the droids lead a small group of rebel soldiers on their special mission, General Lando Calrissian takes charge of a space battle to replicate the events of the battle of Yavin years earlier. When Solo's team takes down the Death Star's shield, Calrissian will lead the rebel fleet of fighters to the weakest spot of the Death Star to blow it up! With no small amount of uneasiness, Han volunteers his beloved Millennium Falcon for his good friend Lando to pilot on the maneuver, despite having a bad feeling that he'll never see "her" again. The groups go their separate ways, Han and the gang sneaking past Imperial security in a stolen Imperial shuttle. Things go wrong from the get-go though, when the discovery of their team by Imperial biker scouts forces Luke and Leia into an exhilarating speeder-bike chase through the Endor forest. Luke makes his way back to the group, but Leia is lost. Luckily, she befriends a small, bear-like creature called Wicket W. Warrick, a young Ewok from the same tribe that soon captures Han, Luke, Chewie, and the Droids. Together again, Luke uses a bit of Force "magic" to convince the Ewoks to join the rebel forces in a thrilling woodland battle against the Empire's ground crew in a desperate effort to get the Death Star's shield down in time for Lando's assault on the deadly weapon. Luke has other issues on his mind also, however, and after revealing the truth to his long lost sibling, surrenders himself to Vader and the Emperor in the hopes of finding the good that he still senses from deep beneath his father's twisted black shell. The future of the entire galaxy relies on the success of the Rebel Alliance in their separate goals, and it all culminates in the final act of "Return of the Jedi."
In 1977, young filmmaker George Lucas changed the lives of countless young movie-goers by delivering unto them "Star Wars," a swashbuckling, sprawling space saga of rebellion, romance, and sorcery, in the style of the 1930s serials that inspired it, but with visual effects and imaginative characters the likes of which the world had never seen before! Starring newcomers Mark Hamill as naive and idealistic farm boy Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as dashing, fortune-seeking flyboy Han Solo, and Carrie Fisher as beautiful damsel in distress Princess Leia, along with the unforgettable voice of James Earl Jones as Darth Vader and screen legend Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi, "Star Wars" spun a timeless tale of familiar myth and legend in a whole new way, relying on outstanding acting performances and an incomparable John Williams musical score to take viewers beyond the fantastic surroundings and into the story itself. Drawing inspiration from the annals of film history, borrowing heavily from "The Wizard of Oz," tales of King Arthur, and the works of Akira Kurosawa, not to mention the history of mankind in general, George Lucas's seemingly simple tale is so full of detail and realism, even in its most unbelievable moments, that the viewer easily becomes lost in the adventure. That's just what "Star Wars" is, an adventure; a thrill ride for the young at heart!
In 1980, the prayers of millions of "Star Wars" fans were answered with the release of a second Star Wars film, "Star Wars, Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back." Continuing the spectacular story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia, along with their wookie and robot friends, this was a much darker chapter in the epic Star Wars saga. It was a chapter of dark secrets, heart-wrenching devices, and a cliff-hanger ending that left many movie-goers with a feeling of, "What the *#@%??!" Nevertheless, it was a masterful piece of filmmaking that would go on to be called the best of the Star Wars saga by a multitude of Star Wars fans. Returning with the brilliant music of John Williams and the same outstanding cast as the first film, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Sir Alec Guinness, David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and the voice of James Earl Jones, and introducing Billy Dee Williams in the role of Lando Calrissian and a new instant fan favorite bounty hunter character known as Boba Fett, plus the masterful puppeteering talents of Muppet legend Frank Oz, "Star Wars" creator George Lucas felt safe to turn over the reigns to seasoned director Irvin Kershner this time around. Taking on the job with intense respect and vigilance, Kershner's determination to create a worthy second act to the Star Wars saga resulted in cinematic excellence! A rousing adventure fantasy from beginning to cliff-hanger ending, loaded with action, effects, suspense, drama, magnificent performances, and one of the most famous and believable screen romances in movie history, "The Empire Strikes Back" took the Star Wars story to a whole new level, making it so much more than we ever thought it was before!
Then came 1983, and fans were flocking to theaters to see the 3rd and final film in the legendary Star Wars saga, "Star Wars, Episode 6: Return of the Jedi." Completing the spectacular story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, and the malevolent Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire, "Return of the Jedi" proved to be a very revealing final chapter in the Star Wars mythology. Old secrets were confirmed, new secrets revealed, bonds were strengthened, new ones were formed, the world said goodbye to some beloved characters both good and evil, and a band of tree-dwelling teddy bears proved that all the technology in the universe isn't enough to defeat the "human" spirit! Of course, the main theme of "Return of the Jedi" is the main theme of Star Wars itself, redemption, but to delve too much into that just now would probably ruin the film for those who have not yet seen it. Returning yet again with the brilliance of John Williams and the same wonderful cast, George Lucas chose director Richard Marquand to helm the film this time around. The result was another cinematic masterpiece, though many fans may disagree due to a popular disdain for the lovable Ewok creatures. It's a distaste I still don't understand, but many folks simply don't like anything cute. I offer up this question though: In a galaxy as vast as that of "Star Wars," wouldn't SOME of the creatures be cute? It's inevitable. The Ewoks serve a crucial purpose, regardless of the feelings of many fans. They embody one of George Lucas's major themes in Star Wars: The little guy can't be kept down! Anyway, I must not be the only Ewok lover. The characters enjoyed a popular cartoon series in the 80s (more popular than the "Droids" cartoon featuring R2 and 3PO), and had two quite enjoyable made for TV movies! "Return of the Jedi" is high on fun, being thoroughly action-packed and full of more bizarre creatures than any Star Wars film before it! It also introduces us to a character only seen before in holographic form (until the prequels came along, that is), the dark Emperor himself, played to fiendish perfection by Ian McDiarmid! And, yes, it's in "Return of the Jedi" that we see what's under Darth Vader's mask for the first time! This final chapter in the Star Wars trilogy is not to be missed by fans of the first two films! A rousing, enlightening, and astonishing experience from beginning to end!
In 1997, "The Star Wars Trilogy" was rereleased to theaters for a new generation. It was a rerelease that brought mixed emotions among fans due to the new additions George Lucas had made to his film legacy. Through the magic of digital technology, special effects scenes were improved, deleted scenes were added with new digital characters, and the films were made to fall more in line with Lucas's original vision, which had been impossible to realize fully in the 1970s and `80s. George Lucas was happy. Many fans were not. However, many fans had no problem with the changes and even welcomed them, if awkwardly. It was all a foreshadowing of what was to come. Now, the first three chapters of the "Star Wars Saga" have been released as well, and the tale is complete; no longer a simple tale about farm boy Luke Skywalker and his friends defeating an evil galactic empire, but now a much deeper tale of redemption the likes of which was only emphasized before in Episode 6, "Return of the Jedi."
With the long awaited DVD release of the original, or "classic" Star Wars Trilogy came even more "improvements" from creator George Lucas, continuing his attempt to make the six Star Wars films fit together as one epic story. The most noticeable adjustment to the first film, "Episode 4: A New Hope," in this reviewer's opinion anyway (all those complaints about the Greedo scene seem overblown to me, and I'm a huge Han fan), is the scene where Han Solo converses with Jabba the Hutt. First restored to the film with a digital Jabba in 1997, the DVD release offers a NEW Jabba in this scene; one that looks considerably more like the Jabba the Hutt we are all familiar with. While the new CGI Jabba still doesn't seem quite as harmonious with the rest of the picture as such digital characters do in the prequels, the whole scene is still quite an impressive feat and completely welcome as far as this fan is concerned, especially with the much needed update. Though, it kinda makes my action figure of 1997 Jabba pretty pointless. In the second Star Wars film, "Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back," in addition to the previous changes, which enhanced the Wampa attack scene and opened up Cloud City to far more glorious views, the film now features changes to bring it more in line with the Star Wars prequels. Boba Fett's original voice has been replaced with the voice of Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett and the clones in the Star Wars prequels. Also, the scene where Darth Vader converses with the holo-projection of the Emperor has been redone with new dialogue and the replacement of Ian McDiarmid in the role of the evil Palpatine. In my personal opinion, the alterations that have been made to "Empire" over the years are more than welcome, especially to Cloud City, and while I feel for the actor who was replaced, bringing back Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor really ties the entire film series together quite nicely, as he played the Emperor in "Return of the Jedi" as well as in the prequels. In truth, it's a change I've always longed for! My only minor quibble is that replacing Boba Fett's voice seemed totally unnecessary, and I rather prefer his original sound. There's no reason to think that he wouldn't have lost his accent over the years after losing his father in Episode 2 at such a young age, and the original voice was far more menacing. As for the third film, "Episode 6: Return of the Jedi," In addition to the '97 changes, which included an added musical number within Jabba's palace, improvements to the Sarlacc creature, and new cityscape celebrations and music in the film's finale, "Return of the Jedi" now features changes to meld it better with the prequels also. Along with improving the overall look of the Rancor scene, the spirit of an aged Anakin Skywalker in the end of the film has been (quite shockingly) replaced with that of a much younger Anakin, circa Episode 3, played by actor Hayden Christensen. My honest response to the various changes to "Return of the Jedi" over the years: I'm not a huge fan of the added musical sequence. It seemed rather unnecessary and more cartoony than anything else in Star Wars. The only thing that bothers me more is the two-headed Podrace announcer in Episode 1. That bothered me MUCH more. Taking that into account, I am not extremely bothered by the musical number in Jedi, but it was better without it. I am rather pleased with the much needed adjustments to the Rancor scene, which was really just a matter of making the elements blend together much better than they did before. The Sarlacc changes are welcome by me too. It's definitely a more intimidating creature than it used to be when it was just a big hole in the ground with a few tentacles. As for the changes that relate more to tying the prequels to the original trilogy, the new elements, young Anakin's ghost and the cities of the galaxy in celebration, are excellent additions when one watches all six Star Wars films together. However, the original elements hold a place in all our hearts and this is why offering up the original films as a DVD option would have been so greatly appreciated. Still, over all, aside from only a few complaints here and there (particularly the digital removal of one of my favorite characters, Lak Sivrak, AKA the cantina wolf-man, another of my action figures that has been made obsolete!), I have no serious problems with the new SPECIAL special editions of the Star Wars saga. Though, as a hardcore fan, it does seem wrong that the original versions are not ALSO available on the DVDs (Disney gives the option on THEIR special editions, after all).
Each film in the classic Star Wars trilogy includes an audio commentary option. "A New Hope" features commentary by George Lucas, Carrie Fisher, Ben Burtt, and Dennis Muren. "Empire" features commentary by George Lucas, Carrie Fisher, Ben Burtt, Dennis Muren, and director Irvin Kershner. "Jedi" features commentary by George Lucas, Carrie Fisher, Ben Burtt, and Dennis Muren. The commentaries are enjoyable and can clue a viewer in on key elements, but they were clearly recorded separately, and one wishes that if they had to be recorded that way, that we could have received the complete commentaries of the individuals rather than a single compilation track. Nevertheless, a fun listen. Of course, all the really great extras are on the 4th disc in the DVD boxed set! Here, the highlight is the outstanding 150 minute documentary "Empire of Dreams," an in-depth look at the making of all three classic Star Wars films. And, when I say in-depth, I MEAN in-depth! Fantastic program! The bonus disc also includes three enjoyable featurettes on the characters of Star Wars, the legacy of Star Wars, and the birth of the lightsaber. Other extras include still galleries, an Xbox game demo, a preview of "Star Wars, Episode 3," and my favorite bonus features besides the documentary, the Trailers and TV spots. I absolutely LOVE the teaser trailers to the films, especially "A New Hope" and "Empire." There's a powerful 1970s/80s sci-fi fantasy eeriness about them! I mean, they're creepy! Overall, not a bad bonus line-up, but don't let your hopes get too high. The bonus disc in the Star Wars trilogy set is painfully lacking deleted and alternate scenes, the classic Kenner toy commercials we grew up with (you know, "It's Lando Calrissian in disguise!"), AND the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. Then again, I guess one could come up with tons of extras that could have been included but weren't. That was just MY wish list. We'll see what future DVD rereleases bring. Regardless, the "Star Wars Trilogy" boxed set is a must own! Still three of the finest films ever made, still the same powerful experience (despite alterations), and still as thrilling as ever! "Empire" is still as eerily transcendental as ever, and, oh, do Leia's glossy lips look glorious in "A New Hope's" digitally restored and enhanced glory! You can keep your gold bondage Jedi bikini! Gimme young, glossy-lipped, cinnamon bun-headed princess perfection! Oh, and Ewoks still rule! If you like 'em in "Jedi," pick up the Ewok Adventures double feature DVD! Now, let's hope those aforementioned "Ewoks" and "Droids" animated TV shows get some DVD season sets released soon too!

If ever there was an argument for not getting rid of your old vhs player, this boxed set is it. The original trilogy can only be watched and truly enjoyed and appreciated in their original theatrically released forms. The great irony and running joke about all the Star Wars hoopla over the last 28 years is how George Lucas, master genius creator of this galaxy far far away, is really an emperor without any clothes. A greedy, soulless phony. Is there another more clueless and classless individual on the planet? A man who manages the logistical impossibility of always missing his own point. The cgi add-ons range from the really quite clever and well-done (Hoth monster, restored Biggs footage, fleshing out of backgrounds) to the incredibly obnoxious (Jabba in Mos Eisley, Greedo shooting first, the Hayden Christensen ghost, and the appalling song & dance). The extras disk is filled with the same info and trivia Star Wars fans have pored over a million times in the past 28 years. That's not the fault of the folks who made the extras disk. They can't help it if every stone has long since been turned over. Star Wars: A New Hope was a breathtaking technological breakthrough in the guise of pulp fiction space opera. Poorly acted, incompetently directed, weakly scripted and altogether wonderful. A rare instance of a movie working perfectly because, and not in spite, of its flaws. The Empire Strikes Back is actually a better movie than Star Wars. Technically, better in every area. Though it lack the joie de vivre of its predecessor, it resonates more deeply by being grimmer and realer and in fleshing out its wonderful characters. If Star Wars is the handsome jock of the original trilogy, Empire is the student body president. Not as cool or exciting but smarter and more charismatic. Return of the Jedi is the crowd pleasing payoff. The pep squad cheerleaders of the trilogy. Little more than frenetic action and tedious pauses (the meet-cute with the ewoks goes on and on and on). Mostly eye candy and victory laps but still better than the horrific pretrilogy garbage. Don't throw those original trilogy vhs tapes away just yet.

Hi, I have no idea what is going on here. I am currently robbing this apartment and this computer was set to this. The owner left a pair of glasses with tape in the middle and a non-alcholic beverage on his desk. Not much to steal in this joint except for blow up dolls and spiderman underroos. As for Star Wars, loved it, exspecially when Spock does Kirk in the transport tube, see ya, the owner just showed up dressed like a wookie with a slurpie.
