And then again with the commentary turned on. Yeah, I haven't finished it yet, but the documentary is half the reason I bought the set. From the beginning, the peeks behind-the-scenes have always been just as interesting to me as the movies themselves. With the prequels, the making-of is better than the final result. I tried to get Mari to watch the documentary with me tonight, but she got tired of reading the Japanese subtitles after 15 minutes. Oh well. I wanted so much to watch these discs with a shared enthusiasm — to get some of that feeling of watching in a theater full of fans — but I guess you can't match tastes with everything. Hope you're feeling better! --Rick Hi Tin-na,

After watching the "bonus" documentary, which was surprisingly interesting, I realized that I really wanted to see the movies again. Then, I got sick with the flu and ended up having plenty of time to watch all three movies while blowing my nose and drinking lots of tea. I don't know- they're still good somehow, epic and timeless.
