Sometime around July I wanted to make a list of the changes to the Star Wars Trilogy that I thought were good and bad. I decided to wait until the Blu-Rays were released before creating this list.

One of the things we like about Geekistry is the interaction we have with fellow geeks during the live recording of the podcast. The commentary from the chat room is a virtual way for us to ‘geek-out’ with you and include you in our conversation. We’ve had so much fun chatting during the live recordings of the podcast that we want to expand the interaction: we now have our very own IRC chat channel on GeekShed.net! We’re extending the invitation to you to come hang with us and each other. #Geekistry – where geeks chat.

There was never a phenomenon like Star Wars. Argue what you will about other movies that have come out in recent years, but Star Wars will hold the title of the movie with the biggest cultural impact of all time.
