Oh, Lord -- I hope not! It's about time that "foolscreen" nonsense just went away. I will never understand why someone would voluntarily watch only 57% of the picture that was shot for our viewing pleasure.

And a fullscreen (sic) release just adds three more items to the completionist's checklist...


Actually I wouldn't mind a fullscreen version also and I will probably buy it. Normally I hate fullscreen and I only want fullscreen versions of movies if there's no widescreen available. For the last 15+ years I've only seen Star Wars in widescreen. Then Grinder showed me a clip of his LD cap of the 1982? fullscreen LD of A New Hope. That clip was JUST as I remembered Star Wars. That clip REALLY brought back my earliest memories of Star Wars. The first time I saw Star Wars was in the mid 80s in full screen. So for Star Wars in fullscreen I'll make an exception!
Ofcourse I want the widescreen version too. Now that I think about it, I hate the PAL audio speedup without pitch correction so I think I'll have to buy 4 sets (both PAL and NTSC full and widescreen). I must be nuts

I'm so happy there's finally going to be an official release of the OOT. I think the quality will be good this time. I never hated GL. Hate is such a strong word and I can't imagine the people who say they hate(d) GL actually hate(d) him. Remember, without GL there would have been no Star Wars at all. I'm forever grateful that Star Wars exists.

And before the announcement of the official release we had so much fun making our LD to DVD transfers. For me it was really exciting buying LDs on ebay and waiting for the big packages of the Definitive collection and Coffret Trilogie to be delivered. And then finally when playing the LDs for the first time in your hard to get LD player. And ofcourse capturing. I learned so much about video editing and stuff like avisynth and virtualdub.

Man... I just LOVE Star Wars and finally were getting them on DVD!

(with Star Wars I mean the original trilogy, not the PT. I don't hate the PT either, it just isn't as good as the originals)
