Are you referring to his little Antwerp escapade, the Dardanelles campaign, or his insistence at micromanaging every little thing a British warship did?

Someone should rename him and stick him in an EU book. What was the create-your-Star-Wars-name combination? Something with your mother's maiden name and the town you were born in?

Petre Wasou. I prefer my approach: Take your defining character attribute and/or distinguishing feature, take a letter out of one and/or put a vowel at the end of the other. Or something to that effect. Being a tubby jerk, I would be Jek Tubbo.

The Empire Strikes Back: SPFX ... wow! I remember this being excellent. Though I have not seen it for maybe 25 years. No chance we get any unedited Star Wars on Blu Ray. I bet these will be even extra special editions. I will probably pick them up when they are on special after christmas, though I will probably get them for christmas. Plus that is no "Interview with the Masters" for ESB if Gary Kurtz is not involved.

Spike TV tends to show them every holiday weekend, usually the prequels, but occasionally the OT. Empire Strikes Back is like Die Hard; if I see it's on TV, I just kinda drop everything and watch it.

A bunch of school friends and I marathoned the unedited OT movies. Surprisingly there were two or three people in the group who had never seen any Star Wars movies.

My roommate had only seen A New Hope, and bits from the other two movies, so a couple months ago we watched through the whole trilogy. Empire is still my favorite movie ever.

Showed them to my wife for the first time a few months ago. She's opening to my sci-fi obsession finally, so we did that and are now working through BSG.

I usually just pop one in whenever I feel like it, so every 4-5 months or so. That's just the OT, though. Last time time I saw the prequels was something like three years ago.
