We had a thread on that song awhile ago. That dude is from Survivor, by the way.

Episodes 3-5 weren’t so much worse than 4-5-6. It’s about all the anthology could offer. Things in 1977 were just different from 2001 onwards. A Jedi’s light saber is simply no match to a wizard’s wand, even with an eleven-year old wizard.
