For a long time Ive been searching for a DVD version of Star Wars IV the was 'enhanced' but not like the new ones where they have all this new stuff happening in them, I believe I saw it once on TV, but that was a long time ago, It was the original but everything had been, um ... , made to look better, brighter, sharper, there where no new scenes, is it out there, somewhere or not ...

thanks

links would be good if you have them.

It was probably just a cleaned up digital version of an edition that's allready been commercially availble in the past.

The TV versions of Back to the Future that I"ve seen look considerably better than my VHS tape.

That's because broadcast quality is much better than VHS. A few years ago they bought out a digitally remastered version of the Original Star Wars Trilogy on video, but you can't get anything on DVD except the new ones with all the added junk, unless you get a bootleg ripped from Laserdisc, which will be pretty good but still not up to DVD standard - check out the preservation section of this website.

I like the rough, grainy quality you get sometimes with really old/ancient VHS tapes. Gives the film more atmosphere.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

I believe you're looking for the "THX enhanced" versions that were made available on laserdisc and VHS in 1995. This is also called the "Faces" set because of the coverart. People on this board are making (or have made) DVDs using the Faces laserdiscs as the source. Check out the Original Trilogy Preservation threads.

I too prefer the warmth of VHS. Though mostly for reasons that I've long learned are pointless to explain. My sanity has been (hopefully jokingly) questioned about it in the past. Needless to say, it's too much to go into detail since the people who agree, however few they are, know what I'm talking about, while those who don't shall never truly comprehend as they probably view as some blind idiot. I love widescreen, I love good picture/sound, I hate compression and especially the easily destructable, over-rated and out-dated from concveption, disc based format known as The Infernal Digital Video Disc. 'Nuff said. ^_^

I AGREE.
