In the olden days. We used to watch Star Wars at home like this.

Ye Olden Days

Those days are now dead and gone. Good riddance I say!

Because now it looks like this

Apparently Star Wars - all six of them - has been airing on Cinemax in High-Definition. I didn't really care, since I don't have a HD television.

But then a friend sent me some links to pictures from the Episode IV airing... I kinda want to buy one now

Here are a few of my favorites...

[WARNING] VERY LARGE IMAGES

Rebel Trooper: You can see the veining in his eyes... That alone almost sells me on HD.

Lord Vader: "Woah"

The Opening Shot: Wait a minute, this is the 2004 redo of the film and you can actually see all the stars? A miracle!

Artoo: Every scuff, scratch, and dent for your viewing pleasure.

Tusken Raiders: There's nothing particularly exciting about this picture... Until you see how crisp and clearly visible those carvings over on the right are.

Help me Obi-Wan: Did it always look that nice? With the vertical lines?

Uncle Owen: The texture is so clear you can almost feel that robe.
Aunt Beru: Perfect for all of you that wanted to make an Aunt Beru costume, but could never quite get the pattern right
Uncle and Aunt Beru Post-Stormtrooper:

These aren't the droids you're looking for.
These aren't the droids we're looking for.

D'oh: I guess not everything looks better in HD.

Falcon's Eye View Look at the size of that thing!

Throne Room Ceremony Look at the size... of that mustache on the far left!

Han Solo: Scruffy Lookin'

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Look at how dilated his pupils are due to the dim room. Nice!

The End: That mustache is still bugging me more than ever.
