Hello everyone.

First I just want to say that the DVD covers in this thread are phenomenal. This topic has been a great resource for a lurker such as myself, and I appreciate all the hard work.

Which brings me to my point. I'm looking for someone who will design 4 custom DVD covers for a personal project of mine. I already have a basic template to work from. Of course I'm willing to pay you for your efforts. If you're interested, shoot me a PM and quote your price.

Moderators and fellow posers, if asking a question like this is inappropriate please forgive my actions. Just delete this post and be kind with your discipline.

Thanks for your time. I won't take up any more room in this thread.

I've got a few of the sets you mention on your list. Although I'd like to get more of the Baby Hum releases. I'll admit I'm a SW dvd junkie.

On a related note, I have a question for you and everyone else here. I've always considered the Edit Droid Trilogy to be my personal favorite. Which version of the OT do you feel is the best?

Thanks Guys! I appreciate the help very much. It seems like I might finally have a sollution to my problem. I'm going to look into Dark Jedi's SE DVD set.

Funny thing is, I LOVE myspleen! Its my favorite torrent site. I guess I must have overlooked this version of the SE trilogy.

And C3PX, thanks for the tips on the covers. I found a couple that should fit my needs perfectly! Hell I even found some liner cards.

(On a side note: I'm making a little project for a friend of mine. I'm going to take all of the versions of the trilogy and put them into one big box set. My friend is a bit of a film history buff as well. In fact he thinks Wookie Groomer's Split Screen Trilogy is a work of genius as it holds Lucas accountable for his creation. When its all said and done, this box set should look pretty snazzy. I'll be sure to post pics.)

Thanks Again Guys. All the best!

If you just want a good quality set of the 97 versions those are a lot easier to get than you think.


Thank you C3PX, I greatly appreciate your help. I guess what I really want is the best quality version of this trilogy. Although I'm a bug for original packaging, my priorities lie with getting the best video/audio quality possible.

If you can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I've been reading a few old topics on this subject but I'm still confused about which version is the best.

Thanks Again for all your help.

Hello Everyone,

I'm a long time reader of this forum but I rarely post. A couple of years ago a Hong Kong based company was offering the 1997 Star Wars Special Edition Trilogy in DVD9 format. From what I understand this version of the SE Trilogy was the best available on DVD. I believe it may have been called the "5 Star Edition" but I'm not certain.

Now I have DVDr versions of the SE Trilogy but I would like acquire the DVD9 versions if they are still available. I'm a bug for original packaging and such. I'm also a bit of a film history buff, especially when it comes to Star Wars. I would like to preserve every step of George's mania by owning every version of the trilogy available.

As we all know, the SE Trilogy stands between the Original Trilogy and the bastardized 2004 DVD box set. Its sort of an oddity now. So finding this DVD set is very important to me.

Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance from one hardcore Star Wars fan to another.

All the best to you and yours.

Thanks for Reading.

Hey Guys. I'm sorry to jump into the middle of your conversation here, but I have a small question and I need your expert advice.

Can anyone recommend a good paper stock for printing DVD covers? I am using an ink jet printer and I'm looking for the best results I can get. Also if you know of some good printable CD labels, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

New Model PSP in 2006
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/170015/action/topic#170015
Time
At first the rumors of a new model psp seemed like nonsense. The earliest of these rumors appeared on the web site joystiq.com

The title read:

"PSP to get a 50 Gig Hard Drive"

http://www.joystiq.com/2005/02/25/rumor-psp-to-get-50-gb-hard-drive/

It all sounded like bullsquat to me. I mean, who trusts joystiq.com anyway?

Then a couple of months later, the same story popped up again. Only this time the industry analyst firm of Piper Jaffray made a public claim that Sony would release a redesigned PSP by the mid point of 2006.


http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3144208

"We also expect Sony to launch the next generation of its PSP (including an audio/video hard-drive) in mid-2006.

Anthony Gikas, Piper Jaffray"

Now most people will read this man's prediction and still think it's BS. However you must remember that analysts from Piper Jaffray were among the first to accurately predict Sony's entry into the portable market.

To say the least, they have a good track record. They are also a more reputable source than joystiq.com. (For the record Sony fans, Piper Jaffray also expects Sony to win the next gen console wars.)

With all the talk of a possible psp redesign, one web site attempted to decipher the reasoning behind Sony's thinking.

http://www.nlgaming.com/nl/asp/id_6319/nl/newsDisp.htm

Here's an excert:

"It's also possible that Sony is trying to expand the PSP's multimedia capabilities (something the portable is already doing very well with) by including greater storage space—this is particularly interesting if Sony is looking to compete with Apple's iPod. Other possible explanations include offering a new PSP as a stopgap before the launch of the PS3, or selling a new model with a HDD instead of memory stick access to help counteract piracy/hackers; however, that would cut into lucrative sales of memory sticks for Sony."

Enter the iRiver G10.

http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-10902-iRIVER+G10+attacks+the+PSP.html

"iRiver Attacks PSP"

The biggest competitor to the iPod comes to market with a new gaming enabled portable machine. Let's face it, this machine is not much of a threat to Nintendo's portable crown. If the Nintendo fans aren't going to buy a PSP, then they certainly wont buy this. However, PSP fans are a different breed of technical connoisseur. Something like this may very well appeal to a potential psp owner.

Here's some details on the machine:

"The parent company of iRIVER, Reigncom, has announced the G10 for CES 2006. It's a console similar to the PSP but it runs on Windows Mobile 5 and has between 4 and 8GB of storage space. You'll be able to play 3D games on the $" WVGA (800x480) screen and the console will probably be offered by Wibro. Something to look into at the CES 2006."

The funny thing is...there have been rumors of a gaming enabled iPod for the past several months. It seems like the folks behind the iRiver have beat the Apple team to the punch.

Finally. we cant forget all the other psp wannabes. The Gizmondo, the Tapwave Zodiac, and the GPX32.

Could a PSP redesign be Sony's way of fending off these new competitors?
Let's face it, the iPod have a massive audience. If a gaming enabled iPod were to hit the market it could really do damage to the psp's sales.

So what do you think? Are the rumors true? Will we see a new model PSP by the mid point of 2006?

Magic Eight ball what do you have to say?

"All signs point to yes."

“So, there’s this website put up by a fan who’s gone in and scrounged every deleted scene outtake, alternate angle, behind the scenes footage, and he’s reconstructed a comprehensive longer version or alternate version of Star Wars starting with the very beginning legend from Journal of the Whills, going in to the Alternate Long Time ago in a Galaxy far far away, to the original Star Wars that originally said The Star Wars with the original opening crawl. It’s radically different across the board into such detail as the deleted scene when Luke is wearing the Gilligan hat and the binocs, looking at the battle above Tatoonie. There was no sound for that original outtake, it was all black and white scratchy workprint, and he took the sound from the radio show and very strategically edited in Mark Hamill’s voice to give it sound. It’s just amazing, he went through the entire film and plugged in all this deleted footage, and it’s just Star Wars, though there’s a little bit of Empire and Jedi footage, and it’s up now on the web, and probably gone by the time this posts.”

Here’s something that came from a recent discussion with AICN’s Jedi Council. I found the quote in a thread posted on the website known as Millenium Falcon.com. I couldn’t visit the original source because I am wary of major spoilers. However I have provided a link to the original article below. Does anyone know what the author of this quote is refering to? It sounds really exciting.
