OCP's versions are very well done, however IMO they don't reflect the original versions as they still have SE material in them and they have that terrible "look" of the official DVD's. I guess that because that's what was used.

Dr. Gonzo's set is great. But my favorite has to be the EditDroid set. With the choice of the 2 crawls on ANH and the clarity is awesome.

CowClops V.2 is also pretty damn good, although, I have noticed that the black levels are set a little too high.

I have. I have done edits of I, II & III. They are basically the same movies without all the crap!

Is it at all possable to make a letterboxed non-anamorphic DVD and make it anamorphic without losing quality? If so, how?

I also have the classic editions from OCPmovie (the creator of deleted magic)...which is a pretty interesting project (using the official dvds and removing the special edition stuff by replacing it with pieces off of the LD)

Well, most of it. A lot of SE stuff was left in.

I have reviewed Dr. Gonzo's set, CowClops V.2. and the EditDroid set. All are great quality transfers. I think the best is EditDroid. It gives you the option of the alternate opening crawls in Star Wars, however, I don't think they are anamorphic. I found that on the CowClops set, the black levels are a bit too high, and Dr. Gonzo's set is 'softer' than the others. However, if you want a great quality LD transfer, any of these will do. I have not yet seen any others.

Looks more like Homer Simpson to me. Maybe I'm not seeing it. The starting bid is only $3000, guess I'll put in my bid.

I'm seeding EditDroid ESB at 40 KB/s, so you should be getting SOMETHING, I hope.

Thanks, all done. Now I am seeding Star Wars & Empire. Jedi is not moving at all. Any seeders for Return of the Jedi EditDroid version?

Did anyone see "The Kaltershank Redemption" on David Letterman on Monday night? That was hilarious. If you missed it, you can check it out here.

If anyone happened to tape this, or know how to save this please let me know. I would love a copy. Thanks.

I was reviewing my VHS copies of Star Wars, when I noticed this. There may be more, but I noticed two scenes with sound differences.

#1. Right after Tarkin says “…with one swift stroke.” The next shot, the slaughtered Jawa sequence. As the shot begins, it pans up with the droids. Now, in my 198?FS, 1990FS, 1992WS, 1993LDWS copies, R2 makes no sound. However, in my 1995 faces FS & WS, he does.

#2. The same goes for the scene in the cantina, after the stormtroopers walk by Han & Chewbacca. The close-up shot of Chewie’s face. Again, only in the 1995 faces WS & FS does he make a sound.

Does anyone know of these or any other sound ‘differences’?

Well, it looks like the Moth3r set is the one. My next question is, how do I get a set? Specifically, the NTSC one. Is that the Citizen reinventing the wheel version? Newsgroups are not an option for me. Is there torrents? Can someone hook me up? Trades? Please PM me. Many thanks.

OK. I redid the poll. If there are any missing, please let me know. I included OCP's and the others I found. Also, how are these available? As a torrent etc.

I think I've got a certain right to be included in this list ..... as creating the best available OOT DVD was in fact my goal. =)

I certainly did not mean to offend anyone. I should have phrased the question different. I meant LD transfers, not re-creations.

There are so many out there, what is the best quality DVD of the original original trilogy? There are so many to choose from. Of the ones out there, which do you recommend?
