I love original trilogy.com! I finally had to join, even though i'm not that good with computer stuff. There is just no where else you can get information on the fight to save the original trilogy without the lucas spin! I didn't like the 97' changes and I am just speechless to read here about the new changes! I wasn't going to buy the dvd's because I knew that they were the SE but since I've read here about the new changes,there is no way I'd buy them ever! I guess I'll have to wait till I can afford a dvd recorder to try to copy my vhs on to a dvd.I never bought the laser discs because my dad who is more up on tehcnology told me way back then those are a waste of money because if you just wait they will have the technology to put them on cds and they will be more practical. Of course he was right but how could I know back then that george lucas was going to take leave of his senses and ruin my favorite movies forever! I wish he would have never made the prequels! I don't hate the pequels, there are things I like about them,but i would't be unhappy if you could turn back time and erase them .There was such a long gap inbetween that i wondered if he was ever going to make the preqels.That was okay by me because I had this dread that if he did make them somehow they might ruin the originals. I was sad to find out i was right! I can't believe that anyone over the age of ten who was a real,true star wars fan could like these changes.One of the worst part of the pt is some of the actlng and to taint the originals with any hint of the pt like putting hayden in rotj is just unbelievable! I don't believe if you truly loved the originals that you grew up memorizing every line,scene and note of music,you would except these horrendous changes, or any changes! In other words to me you have never been a real star wars fan if you can except or defend these changes!

Well, you've come to the right place.

If you'd like to get a very good copy of the original trilogy, try the TR47 set:

They're mastered from the 1993 laserdisc set.

Welcome to the only sane Star Wars boards, Jennifer.

Using the XviD-compatible LAVC codec I have stuffed each Star Wars movie (OOT, Dr. Gonzo rip) onto a single CD.

Is it in mini-DVD format, or do you just play it back on your computer?

It's AVI. If you're lucky it might play on a DivX player (though, LAVC isn't 100% compatible with DivX). With FFDSHOW or MPlayer it should play perfectly.

Welcome aboard, Jeneia. Any O-OT fan is welcome here.

Welcome, and I must say, any STAR WARS fan is welcome here, it really dosen't matter if he enjoys the O-OTs or the SEs, as long as he mantains a respectful conversation with other forum members...
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Lord, if only that were true...

Regardless, welcome aboard!

(And make sure you get a copy of the TR47 discs if you're going to order a set of OE DVDs. Best picture quality available at the moment. IMHO. The Dr. Gonzo (aka Anamorphic Version) are good for the extras.)
For as much as some people claim to hate what Star Wars has become, they sure seem incapable of shutting up about it.
