Adrian,

I've encountered many dealers selling copies of ANH:R at Collectors Fairs, Memorabiliaat the NEC,  Collectormania and even at one stall at a Car Boot at Birmingham Wholesale markey on a Sunday morning. There are a few that turn up on Ebay and iOffer.com. It's something that can be questioned, but then again - Ebay don't question it. Star Wars is a big revenue to them - look at the Holiday Special DVD's all over it.

yeh i've seen this myself at Memorabilia at the NEC. Confronted one guy and got him thrown out. I'm off again to the NEC in November so i'll have to keep my eyes peeled. One thing i hate is people making money off other peoples hard work

 

One thing that annoys me is the constant lies from LFL about the ROTJ soundtrack that they can't release the missing music because the masters were lost. Well the masters may be lost but the music does exist. I was watching the HD versions of The Science of Star Wars the other day and they contain a 5.1 audio track. Now The dialogue and sound effects from all of the clips apart from TPM were clean and didn't contain the movie's music soundtrack and these were clips from the SE so not old press release clips. Also when the DVD's were created Ben Burtt created a new mix with the music a lot lower than it use to be. So obviously the score is still available in a clean mix form. So why don't they just use the movies mix to recreate the soundtrack?
