Honestly, I don't know what that means.  I don't know much about the sound.  The term "1977 Special Edition" is foreign to me.  Are you saying the video is Special Edition ('97 or '04?) and the audio is '77?

 

It’s a bit of each all mixed together makes my stomach growl. LOL

 

Its basically STAR WARS 1977 with Lucas using the force to trick our weak minds into think the visuals are the same with his ILM team.

Then he forces Skywalker sound to trick us even more.

I keep wondering what happened to the stolen 70mm print of Jedi that grew magic legs and walked out the cinema in the UK or was it USA or was it simultaneous coordinated theft by two parties?

This means that someone still has a stolen "Return of the Jedi" 70mm print if its still in good condition not! The colour would have faded and the mag stripe would no doubt be so fragile if ran though a projector it might break-up or has flaked away, due to poor storage.  

Remembering "Return of the Jedi"

http://www.in70mm.com/news/2008/jedi/index.htm

 

 

A print of the film (a 70mm print valued at $10,000) was stolen at gunpoint from the GLENWOOD Theatre in Overland Park, Kansas. The CENTRE Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah experienced some weather-related damage, prompting its 70mm “Jedi” engagement to be relocated for a two-week period to the REGENCY. An engagement at the CONTINENTAL Theatre in Denver, Colorado was terminated following damage from a fire.

I’d say who ever stolen it was STAR WARS nut or some serious pyrite who would shoot someone to get a film print so that he can make money off something that doesn’t belong to him.

I just caught this thread and I saw Jedi @ the Southgate venue here in Milwaukee.....the screen was massive and the experience was freeking cool.....Seeing this mention brought back memories....damn, I miss the 70mm 6 channel audio presentation......

Maybe the projectionist made up a story that was he was held at gunpoint!

He stole the print for himself===lol!

I saw Star Wars in 1977. Many, many, many times. For 3 years it was just Star Wars...period. I saw it in good theaters, cheap theaters and drive-ins with those clunky metal speakers you hang on your window. The screen and sound quality never subtracted from the excitement. I can watch the original cut right now, over 30 years later, on some beat up VHS tape and enjoy it. It's the story that makes this movie. Nothing? else.

Same reason we give your mom a hard time.

I miss J T34.  His rants always made my day.

I miss his posts. They were very reasonable and informative, until certain members tried to derail him and give him shit just because they disagreed with him and don't know anything about DTS.

This was a really great thread until some members derailed it for their stupid kicks.

Why isn't this thing working?

...

Anyway, J T34 was/is a...how should I put this nicely...um...I can't find the words.  But anyone who ignores an entire forum can't be entirely right.

He'd made a few reasonable posts a number of years ago but after this thread, uhm, I can't figure him out...

Your sarcasm detector isn't working Fink, because not everyone is entirely incapable of making a serious post.

I don't blame him for ignoring some of you when you act like jerks all the time and make fun of him for no reason.

Oh, J T34 is going to be sooooooooo mad when he reads your post C3PX.....

That's reasonable, but he didn't just ignore those of us who argued with him; he ignored droves of people whom he'd never even crossed paths with! You've got to admit, that's a little odd...

Oh boy! Flame wars outside of off-topic!

C3PX, I think you had to be here in the context of the thread. Sure, there were our usual escapades in this thread, but he was also incapable of any intelligent discussion attempted in other threads (and, occasionally, in here.) You'll see him going in circles with Mother and Zombie if you actually try to read this thread instead of looking for reasons to bash Fink et. all. That doesn't excuse certain people's actions, however.

edit: specifically I'm referring to this post when I agree with you.

Why would he be mad? I agree with him and actually respect him. Unlike certain yellow turds around here...

See, no wonder he ignored you when you talk about him like this.

It isn't a flame war. This is civil. I am just expressing how I think J T34 has been treated unfairly. Everyone just kind of ganged up on him.

He ignored me. I'm not even sure why. I may go off topic, but I don't mock people like some around here.

That's not true at all.  Akwat Kbrana is right.  J T34 ignored many people who had not interacted with him at all and people who were nice to him.  That sort of thing is bound to create a certain notoriety.

He ignored anyone that didn't agree with him and even people who had never even replied to him. The flaming only started AFTER he started the mass ignore. He was also pretty abusive outside of these forums to anyone who didn't think he was some sort of god. There is no way in hell this guy was treated unfairly. He brought it all upon himself. This guy had some serious issues.

I think he 'ignored' me because I made a joking reference to DTS. From then on, he hated my guts.

I won't buy it on blu-ray either...but not just because of the sound. I'll only buy it if it includes the pre-Special Edition version.

 

I won't buy it period. There is one Star Wars product I want. Until it comes out, there are better things to spend my money on.

That is a photo of Davenes herself. Definitely one of our hotter female forum members! Hang around off-topic just for a bit and you'd discover that her name is Erica.
