George Lucas Commentary on ROTS DVD, "It is one big movie, and it is suppose to be watched 1-6, and shouldn't be looked at as two trilogies."

If that's true, then I like the 2nd half the best! ;)

The former is a 2000 re-release of the SE (and the first time it wasn't referred to as the SE), while the latter is the original '97 release of the SE (fullscreen).

Back to the torrents for me, then. I have the 2004 DVDs, but joining this forum has really got me into obtaining the original original trilogy. Good thing my DVD player can play Xvid/DivX/AVI files burned right on a disc without converting of any kind. :)

Besides, I like spotting the differences. It can be fun. Not to ramble on here, but SPIKE aired Return of the Jedi last night and I tried to figure out which version they were airing. I figured out it was the 2004 version when I saw that Anakin had his eyebrows erased.

(And I almost never call it "A New Hope". It's usually just "Star Wars" for me. Was the "A New Hope" subtitle made up in '81?)
