But instead we get bitter half-robot Sebulba collecting Jedi scrap off eBay. Great.

Among other things I'm an archivist, collector, and nostalgia whore, so I'm pretty excited to see a representation of someone like myself in the ST. I think this is an excellent tip-of-the-hat to the "original" Star Wars fans and it's what I'm looking forward to the most.

Well sure, but the PT tie-in is unnecessary to accomplish this.  Why not have Max Von Sydow play some entirely new character, instead of an elderly, decrepit Boss Nass?  The fact that there's so much distance between the ST and the PT is an "all clear" signal to the writers that the trainwrecks of the past can be ignored altogether.  Instead there's more of this "unified saga though unnecessary cameos" BS we get from the Special Editions.  It would be unified enough just by not too explicitly contradicting anything from the previous films.

Oh, man. I didn't realize you were referring to the PT-ness of the character. I need to work on my reading comprehension.

I agree. The PT need not be addressed at all.

It's as if they designed a character around their idea of an obsessive OT fan. I wonder what he thinks of the SE. hehehe

The following, if true (I doubt it!), would make a lot of people less pissed at DS2 in RotJ. http://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/2nyd64/rumor_potential_4chan_episode_vii_leak_possible/cmi0tya

If the following is true, then I'm really fucking excited despite what I've said in the past. http://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/2nyd64/rumor_potential_4chan_episode_vii_leak_possible/

Frink is neither a mod nor a bully. He's an institution.

So no one has any suggestions on a good BD player? seems this thread is dead.

FWIW I'm loving my Sony BDP-S790.

As for members here actually owning one of these rare IB prints then I would like to see some proof of those claims.

My previous post contains more-than-enough information to track down proof.

It takes less effort to aquire the proof than it does to aquire a projector.

Agreed.

danny_boy said:

But no one here has seen it in it's entirety.

That's not true at all. I can think of at least four members here who either own or have seen multiple *complete* 35mm IB Technicolor prints.

AMPS exists for a reason.

danny_boy said:

although nobody really knows or remembers what the original look of the film is

The 35mm IB Technicolor prints come pretty close by definition, so I wouldn't say nobody.

Nope. I normally don't care about this, but I'm seeing it A LOT lately.

haha that really is very painful to watch! And i'm a big Michael Mann fan. He did a real number on the Last of the Mohicans blu-ray but this in some ways might be even worse.

 Arrow to the rescue!! http://arrowvideodeck.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/thief-tales-of-three-edits.html

This is excellent news considering: http://arrowvideodeck.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/arrow-video-usa-why-you-should-care-if.html

Yay! Congrats, d_e! Good luck!

I have the slowest internet connection and I was wondering if these discs are available to buy anywhere?

Buying/selling preservations is against the rules around here.

I'm sure someone would be willing to burn 'em for you if you send the discs and cover return postage, however.

This post of mine really belongs in two threads... http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Should-I-buy-the-Original-Trilogy-Blu-ray-I-already-have-the-2004-DVD/post/737198/#TopicPost737198

I just don't understand....why some people insist on....writing posts like this....I mean....it's not just danny_boy....I see this from all different kinds of people....Do they really think that this is an acceptable....substitute....for using proper punctuation?

I also....hate....when posts like this end with such long trails of periods....it's like adding diarrhea icing....to the shit cake................................................................

AntcuFaalb, why are you asking a question that can't be answered?

But it can be answered! IT CAN!

This is all fine and dandy, timdiggerm, but why are 27?

This is the best question ever asked on OT.com.
