Episode II came out on DVD Tuesday and I bought my copy today. Finally I can watch a Star Wars movie in Dolby Digital and not have to rewind it or have a videotape that decomposes over time. If you haven't seen it or you only saw it in the theatre then do yourself a favor and buy a copy. The movie is well worth the time you'll spend unwrapping all that damn shrink wrap and security tape they put on DVD's.
Don't have a DVD player yet? Why? Jack the VCR and go get one. Better yet, buy a Playstation 2 since they play DVD movies in addition to all the cool games. Plus Playstation 2 has an optical digital sound output. If you have a good surround sound system you'll know what I'm talking about.
It's been said that SW Episode III will be very dark indeed. But based on the past movies, I'm betting that it will be the best of the 3 "prequels".
Mike.
