Ordered the pizza, sat down and watched the "bonus disc" (i'm not interested in watching the other disc, can't bear the needless CGI changes). I was actually nervous about watching it ~ would it look like shite?
Well, I'm with MST on this one ~ the quality was actually better than i'd expected. Okay, some blurring/ghosting/artifacting, but it was actually a pleasure to see some film grain & a good colour grade ~ truer to what i saw on the big screen than the over-saturated nonsense on the 2004 discs.
So, i went ahead and ordered ESB & ROTJ now ~ looks like another pizza evening this week...........
I've only got a 28inch widescreen TV, no 5.1, so to me the picture & the sound were pretty damn good. I got the goosebumps all over again when the Falcon is dragged in by the tractor beam, and that score made my puny 2.0 speakers shake, rattle & roll.
Ho ho ho Mr Lucas, i do believe these discs are gonna outsell your revised versions ~ cos we all know it's disc 2 that people are watching/reviewing/talking about!
