It happened to a short film of mine that i shot in 1998 - 35mm Anamorphic (using Panavision cameras & lenses) - no shake at all during shooting, but that awful "up and down wobble" during the opening titles. Unavoidable for me, cos i was getting a free telecine session!
But it's a shame it happened to Star Wars... I'm sure Lucasfilm's TK wasn't done for free! Actually... now i think about it...
Still, i'm pretty impressed by the first disc - have yet to see the others. I've only seen one laserdisc rip (sourced via a popular auction site) and that was very jerky and definitely a NTSC - PAL conversion. This "official" disc is definitely better than that bootleg. But i haven't seen any other fan transfers, so of course i'd love to hear which specific fan transfers are better, from those in the know.
PS - Vigo, BTW you could've made your points calmly and clearly without being so personal (re: Boris) you know - he was just stating his honest opinion
That's exactly how these threads turn from "interesting"... into "FLAME WARS! Argue! Argue! Fight! Fight! I'm right, you're wrong! etc etc etc"
