Funny what he says about the bootlegs

"I’ll say now that the transfer on this disc is better than most, but not all of the bootlegs out there"

Wow, that's a pretty impressive statement. I wonder which bootlegs in particular he's referring too. I'm just becoming more and more sure that my decision to avoid these was the correct one. Thanks for sharing this!

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!

A nice, comprehensive review. Basically confirms my choice to not purchase this release.

Pfft, all I needed to know was that the image doesn't hurt your eyes with its poorness of quality ... and I am sold on ANY unaltered version of OT that has a 1977 opening crawl.

So is he going to do/has done reviews of the other two movies?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Though I had some quibbles with the IGN review, I agree with their conclusion. The review was not disappointing at all, IMHO.

[quote]Overall, however, the Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition) DVD is a worthwhile purchase only for folks who love the movies unconditionally, do not own previous versions of the films on DVD, or (do not) worry as much about home-theater presentation (and in fact would be hard-pressed to discern between the two editions on a small, non-widescreen television). Otherwise, however, avoid these sets by any and all means; no matter how many retailers offer cool slipcases, comic books, or other swag, these sets were designed as a sort of back-handed show of gratitude to fans, or more likely as a stopgap for folks who wanted the originals and have yet to hear about the releases coming in 2007 in honor of the series' 30th anniversary.[/quote]

The zoom on my tv kicks soo much butt that these dvds look anamorphic, and because of that reason alone I'm happy with this release lol, oh by the way check this out: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=6564&STARTPAGE=1
