Problems with Widescreen LE of A New Hope

Author

I got the Widescreen Limited Edition DVDs with the Theatrical cuts included, and my copy of A New Hope skips in the middle of one of Moff Tarkin's sentences to a shot of the Millennium Falcon in hyperspace. I already exchanged the DVD and the new copy has the same problem.

Has anyone else had the same problem? Or am I just really unlucky?

That's not a skip.  That's where the layer change occurs.  Some players can read it better than others.  There's nothing wrong with the disc, that's just the way it is.  Sorry.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Oh, crap, yeah. I forgot my old PS2 did that all the time. Thanks.

I ran into the same issue with some of my discs on a ps2. At least we don't have to flip the discs anymore!

Not a problem!  Most of my DVD players are pretty old, so I'm used to it.  But when I play it on my new computer, it makes the switch seamlessly, which is pretty refreshing.
