I have a fondness for the '97SE as it's how I first remember seeing star wars, although I much prefer the original version. I have both the G'kar and TB versions (although my TB discs are also effected by CRC errors), I think the G'kar version has a very slightly better picture quality, so I will usually watch that version since I know what all the text says anyway, (plus I enjoy listening to Yoda in German.)

The only real problem with these versions is that the frame is cropped on the sides and stretched, which you don't really notice when you watch it but it is quite annoying that it wasn't done properly.

I am trying to get my hands on the German & English(UK) HDTV 1080P releases & also wouldnt mind the TB release.

I had never heard of there being a HD version of the '97 version only the 2004 version, can anyone confirm this? or does anyone have them? I would love to get copies of them.
