Excerpt from a recent IM conversation:

chickatlitespeed: speaking of which, Star Wars DVD is out. I’m so conflicted.
patrick: me too. i already have 2 copies and haven’t watched it in a long while
chickatlitespeed: chickatlitespeed: I want to see it in high quality, but hayden christiensen’s face?
patrick: it’s 4,5,6 anyway! no christensen!
chickatlitespeed: that’s what you think my misled friend
chickatlitespeed: lucas has done it again
patrick: what????????
chickatlitespeed: digitally replaced dv’s face with christensen’s face
patrick: yeah. right.!
chickatlitespeed: that’s what I said
chickatlitespeed: I’m serious dude. Sooner you face it, the better. I know it’s hard.
patrick: no way i’m buying it if he played with the originals
chickatlitespeed: Now you understand me.
patrick: i’ll have to look into that
chickatlitespeed: greedo still shoots first
patrick: is the christensen face in an alternate version or something?
chickatlitespeed: no
chickatlitespeed: it’s in the main one
patrick: arrarghghgghghhg

Well, T bought it, I watched Episode IV, and I have to say it looks absolutely beautiful. The colors are truer, the effects still retain their silly seventiesness, it’s more amazing than ever.

But I have yet to watch the aforementioned abomination.
