    The new 4 disc DVD of Ben Hur has recently been released. It contains a new documentary featuring various filmmakers talking about how the film influenced them. Included are George Lucas, Ben Burtt and even Irvin Kershner. In particular, Lucas and Burtt talk about how the chariot race in Ben Hur played a big part in the creation of the pod race in TPM, and even includes clips from TPM (including the shot of Watto cheering Sebulba cut from the DVD). I would definietly reccommend SW fans buy this one.

    Ben-Hur is one of the 10 best films I've ever seen.

    Qui-gon, are you just picking up on this now? I got the Ben-Hur reference the first time I saw TPM.

    Yes, I also picked up on the Ben Hur reference when I first saw TPM. I'm just giving a head's up to everyone about the documentary on the new Ben Hur DVD.
