Does anybody know where to find the 93 commentaries? Just relistened to the 04 ones and beat my head against the wall...I never knew SW could get sooo boring!

They're on the Dr Gonzo laserdisc transfers (maybe others too - Editdroid?) IIRC they're fairly intermittent, rather than wall-to-wall observations, but I suppose commentaries weren't all that common in 1993 and the potential had yet to be fully realised.

I agree that after-the-fact commentaries are generally best, as are those recorded 'live' with one participant or a small group (I'm not sure who these cut 'n' paste jobs are supposed to impress - as someone already mentioned, it's not as if we haven't heard it all before).

IMO the best commentators around are Steven Soderbergh, David Fincher and Ridley Scott (especially on the 1999 Alien disc). Technical, honest, funny and informative - what more could you ask for?
