Earlier today I pre-ordered my copy of the Special Collector's Edition of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. No, I couldn't just order the regular video. I had to have the wide-screen edition, and all of the goodies that come with it. Yes, I'm feeding the Lucas machine. Yes, I'll also buy whatever "special edition" they release of Episode 2, and of Episode 3, and eventually, when they package all 6 movies together in a boxed set, I'll buy that, too, regardless of the fact that by then I will already own multiple versions of each of the six. Why am I such a sucker, you ask? Simple. Because I'm a flaming fangirl.

Serendipitously (now there's a word I don't get to use often enough), since I've been in a Star Wars frame of mind all day, the Fray renewed a link to a Star Wars nostalgia story. I, of course, had to share, so I posted my own Star Wars memories (they're right there, on page 32. Scroll down a bit, you can't miss them).
