The trilogy was filmed in 2:35:1, wasn't it? I'm seeing them in widescreen for the first time, and I'm just curious what the ratio is on the three films.

I'll ask another question that came to me while watching ESB...Name the medical droid that tends to Luke after the wampa attack and at the rendezvous point at the end of ESB.

The advertising also doesn't say that they aren't the originals. For those of us who have kept up-to-date on the DVD release, we all know what versions are being released, but still the general public won't have a clue. At least the 1997 Special Editions were clearly labeled as Special Editions; these are just being referred to as 'The Star Wars Trilogy.' Anyway, someone on this site provided a link to a site that got ahold of the trailer somehow, and I downloaded it and watched it. It is fairly misleading...nothing mentioned about changes or anything. They're relying on nostalgia and digital transfers to sway buyers. Heck, I'll admit it...it started to sway me, and I just got my original version bootlegs from Rikter yesterday, which are very solid copies, so it had nothing to do about his DVDs.

I just got a very special package from Rikter in the mail today...

I'll be watching the movies this weekend when I head home for a few days, and I'll let everyone know what I think, though I've already peeked at a few things on ANH and the bonus disc, and I have to say, I'm quite ecstatic from what I've seen.

No...it's from the movies...the originals...think about it a little. He was an Alliance pilot. If I say much more I'll give away the answer.

And I thought this was going to be too easy of a question...

Yeah, it would be worth it to have the free ticket...I resolutely never go see a movie more than twice, and I'll probably end up going to see Episode III a couple of times (though not evening prices...I cringe when I have to pay $8.00 to see a movie in the theatre). Fortunately, my hometown theatre is $5.00 for regular admission and $3.50 for matinees.

Hot Rod...I think Hyperspace is going for like $50.00 a year now, since they're incorporating the Fan Club with it. And their treatment of the free members keeps getting worse.

My comment reminded me to go and check to see if they had maybe opened up the Clone Wars episodes, but alas, they haven't. Now what do I do? Does anybody know how else I can view them?

What, Jimbo, you don't want to support George Lucas's latest artistic undertaking?

Just giving you a hard time, Jimbo. As I said before, your viewpoint is a necessary counter-voice on these boards.

A season three of Clone Wars? I haven't even seen the whole of season two. I was watching them online, since I always managed to miss them on Cartoon Network, but after they finished the last episode, Lucasfilm thought they had to make the episodes a Hyperspace-only thing. Money-grubbing buggers.

Okay, Mr. Coffee (and anyone else out there),
Which free trader from Bestine met an untimely end when his fighter suffered a mechanical problem and exploded into shreds? (Bonus points (that don't matter) if you can quote him from his final moments.

Bossk said in another thread that they didn't show any new footage, but that they did announce that it was the first time the trilogy would be released in Dolby 5.1 EX Surround (I'm not surprised at that, though). There was apparently not much, at least from the way I read it. They should allow non-Hyperspace people to view it in a week or two, hopefully...

If they were going to make the trailer a Hyperspace exclusive, they could've at least inserted glimpses of the added footage. What's bothering me about their marketing for this set is that Lucasfilm has yet to come out and publicly announce what they're changing...of course, that plays right into their hands about misleading the customer for a profit.

I agree as well, but then again, I'm not too worried about it, because if people read the book, they'll understand everything much better. The books are a lot more enjoyable than any of the films.

I'm tired of Helen Hunt, too. And Halle Berry, as well. I like it when an actor/actress is selective with his/her roles. It doesn't make them seem like they're too desperate to be paid, and instead take the jobs they take seriously.

Wow, I was under the impression everyone had still carded sets. Now I kind of feel stupid...

I remember always dreaming of having the Millennium Falcon and some other vehicles, but I never had the money, unfortunately. I managed to buy a Speeder Bike, which fell into pieces with the push of a button, but I somehow discovered that my old GI Joe vehicles were perfectly sized for Star Wars figures. So I used what few of those I had, and it worked quite well, I'll admit. That, and I turned our couch into a Star Destroyer.

At least you had fun with them. I have a set of the 1995 action figures, and I remember eagerly opening each one as I got it, then setting aside the backing so that my mom could cut out the little character bio (my mom cut a lot neater than I did back then, I was only 10 at that). I used those figures so much, and yet I was really careful with them, so they're all still in great shape, along with their accessories (except for one of Luke's lightsabers, the hilt of which my sister broke...though I did patch it up with Scotch tape microsurgery, so I still have it). I also have the card bios, as well. Other people would look at me and say I should have kept them boxed up, but they're toys, and they did what toys are supposed to do, though nowadays, I wouldn't mind hunting down just a few figures still in their packaging, but just for personal value.

Yeah, I know the 1995 figures are different from the 1977 figures, but the mid-nineties were when I was old enough to have my first Star Wars memories. Kind of sad, especially since my dad had a 1977 C-3PO and a '77 R2 in my family's toybox, and though I still have the 3PO, I think I destroyed poor little R2 when I was two and didn't know any better. To this day, I still curse myself for not having the foresight to spare R2.

I would seem strange that the 2:35:1 is my favorite, since I watch a majority of my movies on either my 13" Zenith TV or my 17" Compaq monitor, yet I still love that ratio unashamedly.

I agree on all counts, except for the Quills part. I haven't seen it, but I'm sure she does a great job. Though looking back on 1997, Helen Hunt did deserve the Best Actress Oscar for 'As Good as it Gets.'

I liked Titanic as well. It's plot may have been a tad overwrought, and it may have been geared towards the adolescent girl crowd, but the sinking was nothing short of amazing. I had a time in junior high when I read everything I could find on the Titanic, and when I sat in the theatre, I was pleased at how accurate James Cameron managed to get things.
Also, don't pass off James Horner's score just because of that godawful Celine Dion song. Not his best composition, but one of his most solid pieces. Just skip past 'My Heart Will Go On,' and you'll be fine.

Has anyone seen that episode where Cartman tricks Butters into thinking he's a robot? That's what this reminds me of...too bad I don't have $100 I can just throw away, or I'd get it and sing about my 'Robot Friend.'
