...and white stills that make up the episode shown in sequence with the voice over. This shows the differences and changes that are made in final production of a cartoon and is well worth a watch.
*Family Guy Star Wars clip show. A combination of some of the best Star Wars clips form the first five season of Family Guy, including some extremely funny parodies. Another worthwhile addition with just over 9 minutes of clips.
*Blue Harvest fight scene in 3-D. All I can say about this is that it looks like it is a good 3-D scene to use with the 3-D glasses that come along with the DVD. Unfortunately my eyes do not work in conjunction with each other and so I have never been able to appreciate 3-D effects and features, so I can't really comment on how good or bad it is.
*Something, Something, Something Darkside teaser. As mentioned...

Advantages: Great Main Feature with Excellent Extra Features Disadvantages: Not Long Enough
...PLEASE DO NOT RATE THIS REVIEW AS I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF RE-WRITING THIS REVIEW AMONGST OTHERS! THANKS! NEW REVIEW SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ON FRIDAY
With TNA now set for prime time it looks like there may be a new monday night war on the horizon which may make people fancy a look at the old Monday Night War.
The disc features Current and former WWE/WCW talent and includes interviews with Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff, the figureheads of WWE and WCW.
The main feature is an exciting look at the Monday night war with some of the high points and low blows struck by both companies. The DVD does take a slightly biased view (towards WWE) but is largely honest. My main gripe with this disc is that as great as it is, it could have been longer and had even more.
The extras are Excellent but again I wanted more. This is a must see DVD...

...As a fan of Star Wars, I am disappointed with this film as a whole. If you take this as a film on its own, I would probably say that it was just above average, but comparing it to the original Star Wars films is ludicrous at best.
For a start, using CGI for so many characters spoilt the traditional use of people in costumes, most of the CGI looked false. Other effects would have been better suited to other films.
Why o why the pod racing???? It was out of place in a Star Wars film. Such things as this made a mockery of Star Wars as an institution.
After all that though, some of the fight sequences were good, but there were too few of them. Such as the evil Darth Maul who was only seen for 8 minutes.
If you have a couple of hours to spare and are really bored, go watch it. True Star Wars fans should stay away from it and keep...
