I've thought of another worry. This isn't bitching or whining, so don't even start with me. It came to me when I thought about how much more noticeable the garbage mattes around the TIE fighters were on DVD then they'd ever been before. What if the whole reason they're releasing them side by side is to "restore" the picture on the originals so much that the matte lines and garbage mattes stick out like sore thumbs, hundreds of times more than they ever were originally. I stand by wanting them there, as opposed to them being digitally cleared up, but they were hardly ever noticeable to me. But what if they purposely make them stand out so much with DVD technology that you can't help but think, "Wow. Look at the inferior technology." I mean, that's exactly what they want us to think. This is just a little conspiracy theory on my part, but you never know. Just something to throw out there.


Well I don't know if we need to worry about that. If I recall correctly you can see some of the mattes on the 2001: A Space Odyssey DVD and they're not disctracting or overwhelming and that disc looks great, especially for a movie from 1968. So take a deep breath everyone, my guess is that everything will be alright. After all if GL makes this a spite release just to make a point and pisses all the fans off, even he must realise that the world would surely end. And then he wouldn't be able to re-release the discs again next year

Cheers!
