I'll have to read up more on the rolling bar issue. I've heard of it, but I haven't been able to see it myself yet. Were all pressings of the DC set susceptible or just the first? Is it something that develops with age or is it inherent in the LD's when they are made? Can it be overcome without losing quality? Is there anyway to tell what pressing you have? I know mine is not the first pressing because I am not missing the Leia welding footage in ESB. Sorry for the barrage of questions.

As far as I can tell, it only appears to be the first pressings that are missing the Leia welding footage. My set is a first pressing and during the opening space scenes in A New Hope it can cleary be seen. It was supposed to have been fixed in subsequent pressings. It is not there on my Faces sets. However, I'm finding the Faces set to be inferior in many ways to the definitive set. I'd love to see a non first pressing without the rolling bars to see how much better it may look.
