So the stuff we've been listening to for the past year and a half has been essentially lackluster??? This should be an epic show then. As for the fight scene, I can write it off, because first its Star Wars, and my love for the films is so great I can write almost anything off from them, and second because you will see the same thing if you isolate and slow down <b>ANY</b> fight scene. That is why, I think, you see so many close up, quick jump cut fight scenes in modern movies (The Bourne Films, The Dark Knight) so as to minimize the possibility of a scene like the one above. Personally I think the best fight scene <b>EVER</b> was in <i>They Live</i>. Pro wrestler + wide angle shots = <b>AWESOME!!!</b> An interesting TANcast, you say?

BLAME THE FORCE! After seeing this, I demand a "Force Kick" ability in the next Star Wars game. There’s only one thing to do in a situation like that… BLAME THE FORCE!

I mean, the price of shooting has changed over the years, but sometimes I think "you know, if you'd just cut to that guy flinging himself head over heels instead of making us all see how unconvincing that kick that supposed led to it is, I'd still be 'in the movie' right now". Of course, that doesn't apply here, because this guy is clearly not supposed to be being kicked by Luke anyway - he's just reacting with shock and surprise at the midget Bobba Fett that someone has thrown at him.
