I finally saw the animated flick. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't awesome either. It doesn't have the character's real voices which for some reason really bothered me throughout. It does tie a few things together but not in some mind blowing way. It's a renter.
Sounds pretty cool. Though the pictures on Amazon are too small to make any detail out and leave a little bit to be desired. Sounds neat-o though. I'm waiting for you to post a picture of that preview screening invitation!
You should all be very, very, very jealous of this. They reprint and insert in the book tons of super rare nerd stuff, like the original invitation to the only preview screening of Episode IV. Check it out.
