Que la Force soit avec vous!

Vous ne le saviez peut-être pas, mais le 4 mai est la Journée Officielle de Star Wars. Toute la journée, les fans purs et durs sont censés célébrer leur saga préférée, avec des visionnements, des partys costumés, etc.

Une chose est sûre: il n'y a pas grand monde qui va se déguiser en Jar-Jar, le personnage le plus détesté et le plus honni de La Guerre des Étoiles…

Dieu que ce personnage était exaspérant!

(Mais entre vous et moi, je suis beaucoup plus MATRIX que STAR WARS. STAR WARS est à THE MATRIX ce que PASSE-PARTOUT est à LA NAUSÉE de Jean-Paul Sartre.)

D'ailleurs, parlant de Star Wars, un lecteur, J F, m'a envoyé cette nouvelle qui risque de plaire aux fans:

"This September: Original Unaltered Trilogy on DVD

Fans can look forward to a September filled with classic Star Wars nostalgia,[…] the long-awaited DVD release of the original theatrical incarnations of the classic Star Wars trilogy.

In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie and, as bonus material, the theatrical edition of the film. That means you'll be able to enjoy Star Wars as it first appeared in 1977, Empire in 1980, and Jedi in 1983.

This release will only be available for a limited time: from September 12th to December 31st.

"Over the years, a truly countless number of fans have told us that they would love to see and own the original version that they remember experiencing in theaters," said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts and Senior Vice President of Lucasfilm Ltd. "We returned to the Lucasfilm Archives to search exhaustively for source material that could be presented on DVD. This is something that we're very excited to be able to give to fans in response to their continuing enthusiasm for Star Wars."
