Wow, all three (ignoring the 2004)? Sounds like fun. Maybe watching them all in a row will help you see ESBR in a renewed light.

lol. i won't be watching them all in a row. Gonna watch the first in the morning then the second late afternoon and ESB:R last thing at night. Yeh, i've ignored the 2004 version. Just can't watch those crappy colours anymore

I'm still sore over not being able to see ESB a few weeks ago at Chicago's Field Museum.  Had to work that weekend.  This Saturday will be the first one I've had off since mid-January.  So, I'll definitely have time to enjoy THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.

Don't know which version they showed.  That info wasn't advertised, but it was a charity event with Lucas himself there on Saturday, May 8th for a Q&A.  There was a similar event in Los Angeles with Harrison Ford that weekend.  My feeling is that it was the SE or 2004 edition.  Believing that made me feel a slight bit better about not being there, but only slightly.  The only time I saw ESB in the theatre was the '97 SE since I was born in 1980.  My parents did take me to see ROTJ in theatre when I was three, and I cried and had to be taken out of the movie because it was so loud.  The unmasked Darth Vader scared me for years.

Hmm...maybe they showed the 2004 DVD on a projector. I'm sure even the '97 version is forbidden by George now.

Yeah, taking a 3-year-old to such a film is something people may want to have re-thought before they did it. I'd've thought the Emperor would've been nightmare material for you more than unmasked Vader. Heh.

As a kid, I was even hesitant in Spaceballs before Rick Moranis lifted his mask off.  My sister told me not to worry.  Of course, now, I'm a slasher movie fan - Jason being my favorite.  So, I've since seen worse than old Sebastian Shaw's mug.  An estranged friend of mine once tried to do a Star Wars / Friday The 13th crossover fan film (I played Darth Voorhees).  Never really finished it.

And thank you, elbarto1.  That is much appreciated!

Well i have my Empire@30 day planned out. It will start off with this version, followed by the 97 SE version taken from the TB broadcast version that i ahve just finished and synced the laserdisc SE 5.1 audio to then to round it off i will be watching the latest workprint version of ESB:R.

My wife is going to hate me. lol

Now that's some serious ESB overload! :)

I listened to the audio on the disc where the hatch closes as well as the audio on the fix in the same area.  That's a 'mistake' that doesn't bother me in the least, so I didn't even go through with the fix.  I'm going to give the disc a spin right now, even if just to catch the old school Lucasfilm Ltd. logo.

And Ady,

You da man!

O.T. or No T., baby!

Is there any way to get Ady's name OFF of torrents?  I just did a search for "Adywan" and his name came up on a bunch of non-SW stuff - Crank 2, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Mission Impossible.  I don't think he'd waste his time with any of those, especially since some appear to be just rips of the DVDs, not edits.

My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

Adywan, you are a crazy man! The prospects of seeing an anamorphic version of ESB Theatrical are pretty enticing. Unfortunately, newsgroups and torrents aren't options for me. Can anyone point me to other options? Rapidshare? Megaupload? PIF? PM me. Thanx. And Thanx Ady.

If you two had been paying attention you'd realise your request has already been fulfilled.

Ooh, I thought tehparadox is a torrent site... or at least P2P, which is what I can't use. Isn't it?

No it isn't; it's a rapidshare etc site.
