No f- way?!?!?!?! Crappy laserdisc masters??!?!? Are these releases supposed to be the way we watched them on video?!??! or the way we originally saw them in the theater!?!?!? That sucks!!!!

So Lucasfilm wants to present the films the way we SAW THEM ON VIDEO, not the way they were in theaters...??? no 16:9? in 1993 there was no 16:9... will the fan made discs actually be better?!?!?

I saw the films in six track 70mm!!! (March 28th, 1985 was the last time...) and the mixes... especially Star Wars was remarkably different!!! So how can they just put a 2.0 track on these releases?!?!? How about the original six track remixed into 5.1...!?!!! Why do a half-assed job!??!

As if people can even remember the last 'major release' that wasn't 16:9... and are these new discs going to be THX certified? I doubt it... so if it's not up to lucasfilm quality standards, why do it? And if our 'fan' releases of the films can be 16:9, are the fan discs going to be better than the lucascrud stuff?!?!?!?!

or are they putting the new versions of the films in the box so that they can actually use THX on the box and mislead the customer again???

Does George not believe that his new versions are truly superior, so he has to screw the old films quality to insure that his new crap looks better? I'll bet anything that they don't even fix the sound on Star Wars!!!! It sounds like this is the cheapest releases ever!!!!

Hey, didn't Spielberg have an anamorphic transfer of E.T. theatrical edition in his release? Is E.T. more important the Star Wars?

What was the last film that was a classic release that was widescreen that wasn't 16:9?!?!?!

We need to speak up now!!! The original films should be respected and the same quality standards that the new versions are.... Give the negatives to Lowry (DTS) Digital, and make the films as incredibly beautiful as the 2004 crap!!!

THEY HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT, OR WE'LL JUST KEEP BOOTING THEM!!! WE'LL TAKE THE NON-16:9 DISCS and CONVERT THEM TO 16:9 OURSELVES!!!!

HELP!!!!!!
