Hey kids, remember when Star Wars was good?

I guess in some sort of response to the horribleness that is the updated Blu Ray edition of the original Star Wars trilogy, the nerds at Mental Floss have posted a pretty large gallery of cool behind the scenes pictures. In my opinion it's a much needed trip down memory lane.

It doesn't need to be said but I'll say it anyway, CGI blows. I doubt anything could have really saved the awful scripts of episodes I-III but actual sets, guys in robot suits and a couple of space ship models sure would have helped. Anything that would have kept us from the Gungans and super ball bouncing Yoda.

More pictures after the jump, I swear.
