This only goes on to tell you which feature in the upcoming release the staff who run the site, or at least the author of the article, is most excited about.

The hypocracy of it all. The Citizen Kane analogy is an interesting one. You'd think that by now LFL would have relalized that they have two marketing cash cows: the "saga" and the OOT. More money for you'll since you've basically got nine films to market instead of just six. But what do I know?

Read about what life was like in 1977, 1980, and 1983


It doubtlessly included better versions of the trilogy than we have now are are getting in September.

I have to respectfully disagree with that statement. There's far more to "better" than mere visual quality.

I submit that even an approximation of 1977 Star Wars is better than any previous home video release or theatrical re-release of the movie. It's all a matter of opinion, and perhaps those who think of the film as "Episode 4" or "A New Hope" won't care ....


.... but for many of us old folk who experienced the original Star Wars phenomena first-hand, even a half-baked job at presenting the opening of this movie the way it really opens will set the stage for an exceptional experience of Star Wars ... whether or not it looks any better than a laserdisc and whether or not anything that follows is likewise restored to its 1977 condition.


By virtue of the first 30 seconds alone, this will be the "best" Star Wars home release ever ... ahem, says me.

I considered making a pic of Greedo when he is shot and use it as my avatar on Gametoast, because it was so freakin funny to see Greedo gettign kicked as, LEGO style

Part of me is inclined to agree with you.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

This just doesn't add up. The plan for individual SE releases, and now this?
