One point of note, is where Jango Fett bangs his head as he's boarding his ship just after the fight with Obi Wan on the platform. Apparently, they did it on purpose, because obviously with a bucket on your head, you can't always see where you're going. And, seeing as Jango was the basis for all the clones ie. the Stormtroopers, this explains why you can see Stormtroopers banging their heads off of doorframes etc. in the original films. Pretty crafty, eh? I like the fact they went into this much detail to cover up a crappy bit from Episode IV, it shows they care ;)
There's also a cool bit in the commentary where Lucas reveals another interesting bit that spans across the two series. In Episode II, Obi Wan escapes from Jango and Boba in the asteroid field scene by landing on the asteroid, and they fly straight past. In Empire, Han Solo tries the exact same thing with the Millennium Falcon, and who's the only person who isn't fooled by it? Boba Fett, because he's had it done to him before. I'm such a geek, I appreciate stupid stuff like that.
So go get the DVD, it rules, and it's actually made me like the film even more. You don't get the same sound quality as you do in the cinema (obviously) which means the seismic blasts don't sound as cool as they did, but it's still a bloody good Star Wars film, which jizzes on Episode I.
Officially the nerdiest post I've ever written.

I reckon David Lynch should direct a SW movie. It'd be funny.

Yea, that was in one of the dvd extras wasn't it. They were filming in Tatooine/Tunisia, and Lucas said they had filmed a scene there to save them from having to get all the cast & crew back there again in a few years.
Having recently watched Episode II & The Killer, I thought about a Star Wars film directed by John Woo.
Leaping around with slow-mo two laser gun action, lots of white Mynocks (doves), bad dubbing, OTT religious symbolism and perhaps Chewbacca wearing a trenchcoat and wielding a big laser shotgun, etc.

Hell yeah! A manga/anime Star Wars series would rule! Hopefully it won't be like "The Amazing Adventures of R2D2 and C3PO", or whatever that series was called. Or Ewoks. Or "A Wookie Holiday Special". Christ almighty.
