Found this in the local drugstore yesterday. Pretty sure it hasn’t been floating in the back for over a decade, as I check the DVD rack there once in a while and newer titles have the same sticker.
Also saw Rogue One on Blu Ray for $12.99!

Full Screen too. Talk about putting salt in the wound.

Good eye! There were a bunch of Marvel movies on Blu_Ray in there. Some Jurassic Park movies, a Blu-Ray compilation of themed Star Trek TOS episodes I’d never seen before, even some 3-D titles. It had been the same old DVD stuff gathering dust at this drug store for years before this. Sorely tempted to hit every store in the area and see what else I find.

Fox apparently had a ton of those full frame discs (OT and PT) that they gave away to charity, with a special sticker added and the UPC slashed out. Those turn up on Ebay sometimes. This isn’t one of those though.
Everything that was still on store shelves right before the Blu-Release got pulled.

I haven’t seen a SW movie in full screen since the 1995 video releases. That line where Luke sees the sand people through his binoculars never made sense since they were cropped out of the frame.
In other random thoughts has anyone else ever noticed that the actor who play Jerec in Dark Forces II was the MI6 agent that tries to drug James Bond after he goes rogue in License to Kill? Probably just me.
Which is weird since some early pan&scan versions, (like the HBO version) optically squeezed the macrobinocular shot.
AOTC and ROTS actually don’t look too bad in 4:3. Maybe because of their digital nature? Or pan and scan tech improved since the 80’s?

I’ve noticed he’s the guy who interrogated Sinclair in that one episode of Babylon 5, and he was in an episode of Sliders, too.
The two new Prequel-era books and the return of Clone Wars. Its like 2008 all over again. When Lucas’ Preqeul bias was rampant. At least I save some money I guess.
It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

He also played two different MacGyver villains, and a Nazi in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

Well, if there’s fans of it, why not make more of it?

a Blu-Ray compilation of themed Star Trek TOS episodes I’d never seen before
I didn’t know that such a thing was on the market! Not that it is something I need since I have the whole blu-ray set, but it reminds me of the old VHS and Laserdisc copies of select TOS episodes available before DVD. I never owned any of them, but my sister would rent them for me sometimes. Good ol’ days…

I think it’s along the line of the Fan Collective DVD sets?
JEDIT:Found one on Ebay…

I’m rewatching and enjoying TCW, but I still don’t get why the separatists separated in the first place. Does anyone know or should I just roll with it?

Given that they’re all centered around commerce, I’d guess it was over trade disputes.

If you can roll with Dooku being a 1-dimensional black hat with no motivation, you can roll with this.

Fair.
.
I’m upset that the Separatists weren’t just straight up the Rebellion, with Dooku as the founder. And then Bail and Padmé join up at the end of the third one?
God George wasted Christopher Lee.
George wasted many actors & many ideas & many dollars.
Don’t forget General Zod. Seriously, Terrence Stamp would have made a great Sith lord!

Indeed. Especially Ewan McGregor. He was basically the best young obi wan you could possibly ask for, and they just totally wasted all the potential with the lame script and writing. As it is he’s still compelling most of the time and certainly one of the best aspects of the prequels.
He kind of stinks in EP 1, but he didn’t really do anything in the whole movie except sit around and complain.
He did kick Darth Maul’s ass, or rather separated it. And it’s not Ewan’s fault Lucas stuck him aboard the Naboo cruiser playing cards with Ric for half the movie. 😉

I liked him in Episode I because he sat around and complained the whole time. I could relate to that.

MagnoliaFan’s edit of AOTC set up the Sepratists as the proto-rebellion, but there never was an Ep3 edit and I don’t think the idea carries over.
