Well, I don't feel guilty about downloading and watching part of Episode II. It's not like I'm not gonna pay my $7.50 at the theater like everyone else sometime this weekend. I just got anxious and just had to take a peek before I went for real .. kinda like sneaking a peek at your christmas presents before the big day actually gets there.
I could burn it to DVD so I can have it to watch outside of the theater, but I'm not going to bother. I'll still get the real DVD when it eventually comes out too. Mr. Lucas isn't exactly losing any money off of me.
