Thanks for the post. I might tinker with those. I’m also considering making a simple DVD sleeve modeled after the box set artwork and have all three discs in the one case. I was also checking out ebay.co.uk incase they had any editions. So I got some work to do.
Technically the GOUT was a special feature. Not exactly a special feature but I remember being super psyched that the 2005 DVD release of Jaws was gonna include the original mono so I no longer had to tire out my VHS copy. It was also that release that I got to see for the first time the two hour doc that was originally produced for the LD.
Nada. He didn’t have them.
Thanks. I’ll shoot him a message!
EyeShotFirst, is there a reason you forgot the image of Yoda on the back cover of ESB?? Also this was discussed in another thread but does anyone by any chance have a logofree version of the ROTJ artwork but with the ‘smaller’ Lando like on the VHS cover?? The only logofree version of that artwork that I can find has ‘larger’ Lando.
Anyone here who can help find that ‘smaller Lando’ print of the ROTJ artwork?? Also does anyone happen to have any large scans of the back covers of these UK covers?? They seem to be the best source for textless or close to textless copies of the '92 back cover collages. Thanks!!
I’d do a third one with the George Lucas message on the back cover.
I saw the SE of ANH in the theatre but I was 4 so I honestly don’t remember it much so my first proper introduction to the OUT in Widescreen was when I got the '92 Letterboxed VHS set off eBay about 14 years ago.
If you had the Pan and Scan version of the SE
No one should have.
What if I had said this?? ‘If you had the Pan and Scan version of the OUT–’
No one should have unless you had no choice.
Which in 2004 if you wanted them on DVD no one did, unless you had bootlegged copies sourced from LDs.

Another change I never fully understood was the gas refinery or whatever the hell its called that was added to the outside of Cloud City. If you had the Pan and Scan version of the SE you couldn’t see this anyways.
For the vinyl they did. I think in order to find out when or if the OOT will be released, I’ll get a job at Lucasfilm and quit as soon as I find out.
+1
I’m really hoping they’ll go the RO route and start with the prologue of REY and LUKE on AHCH-TO and then cut to the crawl -
There is no way (or reason) they do this.
Yep
The guide bar for the boulder was also digitally removed.
Slightly off topic but I just stumbled on this 1997 interview with Lucas after the first SEs came out. Funny how he says there’s more he’d like to make but there’s ‘no plans’ to change them again. Interesting how he also brings up that enhanced versions of the Indiana Jones films were gonna be done which fortunately we never got.
Thats nothing. I just converted my '92 SW tape to DVD. Obi-Wan’s lightsaber has literally no color in the cantina scene. If I squint I can somewhat detect a slight blue but other than that its just a white blade. One thing Im amazed was never fixed was the split second moments during the Ben/Vader duel when the sabers switch colors!
Weren’t the 1995 VHS faces release the first time it was available in wide-screen/letterbox?
No I think the Japanese LDs were which came out in 1986 IIRC.
Does this mean the Frink edit of Rogue 1 isn’t far behind??
I didnt hate TFA. Sure it might not be my favorite SW film but I thought it was pretty entertaining and has made me excited for VIII. R1 havent seen yet so I have no opinion on that.
The trivia section on imdb for ANH mentions that Greedo shooting first was done so Lucas could keep his PG rating. Is this imdb being false as they tend to do from time to time or is there evidence to support this?? Never heard this claim until now.
They should just hire You_Too and Harmy as consultants for the color correction.
Or at least get permission to reference and credit their work (can you smell the irony??)
I definitely dont want it to be like the 2011 version either but even if it came out to somewhere between those two images Id be fine!
There’s definitely examples where the coloring on the current masters is off (Frink pretty much listed the two that best come to my mind) but I have never been one to obsess over getting the colors just right. As long as they retain the original essence of the original colors, I don’t care if something’s are slightly off. A red light looks a slight orange? Not a big deal. A creatures blue skin is now green? That’s a big deal! However these are just random generic examples, not specifically pointing out anything. Just the same I’m glad the possibility of a proper OUT restoration might finally be upon us!
Real life?? Probably getting lost in an amusement park or falling out of a tree once. Not exactly scary but I had a few rough family deaths.
Movie?? I remember Claude Rains’ disfigured face in Phantom of the Opera scared me at age five and I was afraid the Phantom was gonna come out from beneath my bed when I went to bed that night.
They might do each film separately. A theatrical showing of ANH for the 40th Anniversary and a BD/digital release to tie in with Episode VIII, Empire to tie in with the Han Solo spinoff, and Jedi to tie in with Episode IX. If its done this way I can picture the possibility of them including multiple versions of the movies.
Speaking of AARGH what was the point of replacing Vaders ‘AARGH’ when he falls off the edge in the carbon freezing chamber with the ‘OONF’ that he blurted out earlier when Luke blew the steam in his face??
I usually have Staples print out my covers on Elite Gloss paper. Cost per print is like 50¢.
I don’t remember the last time I went to staples, but will I need to bring a USB that contains the covers I want to use, and print it out there, right?
You can actually go on their site and upload your covers and print and pay through their site and just go and pick it up. The site feature will allow you to choose the kind of paper to print on but make sure you adjust the image accordingly so it will print out in the right direction.
