Hello everyone, I’m in my early 20s but still can’t watch the re-mastered damage done to the original Star Wars movies IV, V, VI. I have the VHS boxset but the quality is significantly less than the re-mastered DVDs (shame they added all the bollocks to the re-mastered versions).

It’s apparent I can’t find a decent DVD anywhere with the original film on it, only a non-anamorphic version on DVD ripped from a laserdisc, which apperently doesn’t size up well when made for widescreen.

OPERATION CLASSIC RECOVERY

I plan to remedy this and get the 80s versions onto DVD in widescreen anamorphic.

I’m going to need a lot of help and suggestions and hopefully you guys on this forum can help me.

I have little experience but this is what I plan to do.

  1. Buy a laserdisc.

  2. Buy the Star Wars laserdiscs.

  3. Laserdisc them to PC in high quality and in correct widescreen format

  4. Match the laser discs up on PC (as they come on two discs) so the film is continuous and clean.

  5. Burn perfect widescreen DVD anamorphic copies.

  6. Torrent and share the originals worldwide to keep them alive.

Any help/suggestions/alternative ideas on my crusade would be much appreciated. Thanks
