Yeah but if like the gout was released in 2001 rather than say in 2006 i know for instance i would not be bitching about it being non anamorphic because there were very few widescreen displays back then or HDTV and then they were like 10 thousand dollars or something so a 4:3 letterbox picture would have been fine because people would not be worrying about these 16:9 tv displays.

I remember this is back before i even knew of anamorphic or all that when i first had a dvd player in like 2000 or something asking when the definitive collection was going to come on dvd with all the bonus materials and old documentaries. Yes i was a dreamer in those days and thought Lucas was an okay guy,lol.

I stil don't have a 16:9 HDTV set by the way. Too bad the gout does not even use the full resolution of a standard def dvd and the picture is soft and has dvnr problems. In fact the picture is so bad i find it hard to even enjoy watching the movies. The 2004 restoration brought out details unnoticed before, too bad the colors were botched the sound fucked up and the bad cgi was still there.

I have waited forever for a watchable version of Star Wars 1977 so far no fan restoration has been done, i'm waiting for puggos and the vintage edit. The classic ocpmovie edition was just plain bad on all levels, i'm referring of course to the dual layer version the 2.0. The Editdroid was the best until the gout was released.

I would like to give the X-0 the award for best transfer but it does not exist. It is vaporware. Of course the screenshots say otherwise, but still no release. The project all but dissapeared when the gout was announced talk about Lucas taking the wind out of their sails,lol.
