The machine I have is an early model, but it still plays well.

I know they're available to download, but for me that kind of defeats the purpose.

Love the comparison pic. :)

thanks,

my player skips like crazy, i had to use a friends.

also i had 2 sets of discs, and they had glitches too.

digitally fixing them made it a lot better to watch.

the thing is you don't gain anything by watching it

from an actual machine. the resolution is the same,

the sound is the same (or mono)... and it wears

out your players needle everytime you play it.

yes, having an 'authentic' experience of watching

the actual discs is cool (and having to swap sides),

etc.. just like with laserdiscs. but for people that

will never have access to them, this is just as good.

also goes for 8mm/16mm versions. i'll never have

a projector, so i'm grateful for puggo preserving

those.

good luck, i hope you find the CED's.

later

Watched Jedi tonight. Richard Marquand remains the elusive director of mystery.

Aren't there any vintage sit down interviews with him at all in the Lucasfilm vault? Kershner did plenty of them.

Some of the people on the archival commentary had nice things to say about him though.

Probably going to have nightmares after seeing Wicket's new scary eyes in HD now. ;)

Is Marquand the director of this film? How can he direct a movie from 2011 if he died in 1987? this is really spooky.

We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

So a misspelled word in the crawl, a bunch of nooooooo jokes, and Yoda farting.

Hilarious.

Gee, I thought it was pretty amusing. I took the alterations to be intentionally bad in order to highlight the absurdity of Lucas' SE alterations (Greedo shooting first, the new krayt dragon roar, and "Nooooooo!" spring to mind). It's a form of hyperbole. As for the Yoda fart jokes, I don't think they were intended to be funny-simply-because-they're-fart-jokes. I took it to be a criticism of the new Lucas' sense of humor (Jar-Jar stepping in poo, getting farted at, etc.) as over against that of the old Lucas.

Now that we're in the subject of uncorrected goofs, it should be noted that the current version of TPM does not fix that instance in which Padmé says "Get to your ships!". Such line is delivered with the "decoy voice".

In a future release, it will be dubbed over by Temuera Morrison.

I got it. I just didn't find it funny. And I don't think the misspelling was on purpose.

I know but you could barely see Alderaan (spelling? too lazy to look it up) firing, plus you saw the Death Star firing first.

The Greedo joke was also in the other video. Just didn't think it was as good.

...

Oh never mind.

Just bought the 'There's Something About Mary' Bluray today, and they have both the Original and Extended Cut.

And its too expensive for Lucas to put both versions of the OT out :-(
