When I was your age and I wanted to watch a Star Wars, I used to have to ask your great-great-grandfather for a nickel, put on a suit and shuffle three and a half miles to the theater. We didn't even have talkies, much less internet videos.

But now you can experience Star Wars the way we used to -- in silent film style, with title cards and a piano soundtrack and everything -- and you don't even have to pay admission. (Sigh) Your great-grandmother was a real looker back then.

Slapstick and The comedy classic Droid Soup.


Turns out you don't really even need title cards to know what's going on in this one.


Actually, in 1910, this one was just called "The Empire Strikes."


Love stories are so much more touching set to ragtime.
