.......and yah to Doubleofive.... I guess that I appreciate the guy....(George), that gave us all of these movies, and I believe it is his story. With that being said, I think he and Lucasfilm really jacked up with the OT releases, and I still can't believe with all of their capability to fix and restore these old films that they gave us those crappy dvd sets? So I'm somewhere in between a "Revisionist" and a "Lucas Apologist", one that really likes the PT, "just so you know who you are dealing with"....peace......
why are a lot of people on this board under the illusion that the OT is not available in good quality?
(and yes, i have ALL the dvd full screen/widescreen/special edition releases also)..
i have it on laserdisc in at least 3 variations....definitive box set, the japanese box set, and the thx faces version..
i've had it for ages...........................and yes i have a high definition tv (32 inch)....................no my eyes aren't bad...
i don't see that the dvd versions are really that bad compared to the laserdisc, and people on this board, (ok excluding
x0, v8, and a few others), have transferred over the laserdisc version to that accursed dvd format......what else do
you people want???????????????????????????
yeah, i know most of you don't care about the SE versions of course, which are also *AHEM* freely 'available' in high definition formats..........
which blow away the SE dvd's.....
..............................its just a matter of time before those get de-SE'd down to the originals...............................
in fact if we can get the 35mm version of empire cleaned up maybe that might be it...preliminary tests of the scans are decent.....
see if you can tell the difference in that thread...
i just can't understand the griping, is it that hard to buy older longer lasting, and dirt cheap laserdiscs? or are people to biased against
older technology????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
by the way, if you can't tell, i'm a purist, i prefer the 77 star wars, and the 81 ep V, and 83 ep VI, but i don't mind watching the SE versions ('from time to time'), but i don't consider them as a replacement.............more like a fan edit..
later
