Adywan, you have gotten me hooked on The Empire Strikes Back. I've watched the film in almost every way I have available to me in the last month. GOUT DVD, your theatrical DVD, the 97 SE, and my old VHS tapes. I can't get enough of this film in all its forms (aside from the 2004 DVD). Not sure if that's a thank you, but it's definitely cracked open an entire 1980s childhood nostalgia for me. So, I suppose it is a thank you. I'm currently watching the film the way I watched it until 1992 - videotaped off of ShowTime. Based on nostalgia alone, the original trilogy are the only films I'm willing to watch in pan-and-scan, but I've been a full embracer of widescreen from the first moment I knew of it.
