Unbelievable how the technology has changed. Scenes that thrilled me as a kid now just look campy.
It’s cool that they give you a peek at how CGI works today, making all the old gimmicks like the blue screen obsolete.

Soundtrack was by Blue Man Group.
Yeah, I worked their show.
Pretty cool, and easy to dance to. It would have been even better if the last scene was of young men in spandex catching laptops with their butts, and a squirrel super-imposed over that.
It’s sad that they showed the re-mastered version of the Death Star explosion, as opposed to the original, less impressive version.
I guess Lucas has successfully eliminated each and every copy of the original from the face of the earth.
