...you have been selected to battle against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada!
I just picked this bad boy up on Blu-Ray. Such a great movie.
Some people decry it's dated special effects, but it was literally state-of-the-art in its day. It was the first film to use digital effects to present images that weren't meant to be viewed as computer images. (It's contemporary TRON sort of falls into this.)
Personally, I think the slight, cartoon/video game feel adds to its charm. After all, the whole film is one big fantasy come to life. And at least they didn't go back and Lucas the whole thing up with updated graphics and scenes.
