Does anybody know of a place where I can take my Laserdiscs in and have them transferred to DVD?

I know of places that do this for VHS and film, but are there any for Laserdisc?

Thank you, Master Sifo-Dyas.

People might think I "chikened out and left". Y'know how that is.
If they mention my absense, feel free to say that I was banned.

It appears I've been banned from the OS for a week.

Now would be a great time for some people to go over there and fill in the gap in the argument.

What does the 2001: ASO dialouge have to do with this?

Not bashing, just wondering.

You don't know how AGONIZING it is to have that 'set the sky on fire' song stuck in your head.

That was the worst part of the whole thing. The imperial dudes take a Music Video break.

Yeah!
If Luke Skywalker, or whoever, decides to send us all DVDs, he could make his own commentary track, just because he can!

That'd actually be neat!

I can picture George Lucas sitting back at Skywalker Ranch, looking at this site.

"Fifty-Five THOUSAND. These guys must really be desperate."

But sadly, no "...This could really save my neck."

Anybody else have the interactive R2? I LOVE this thing!

It roams around, and it’s really fun to watch the movies with it. It seems to react to things in it too.

Anybody here have it?

If I were to create my own version of changes I like/dislike, (Which I could; it just wouldn't look good) here's what I'd do:

AHN

Have it be original up to Mos Eisley. The first shot with the 'scurriers' I would leave in. Then cut to the SE shot, minus the droid wackiness. Then have the original version for the shot that starts the stormtrooper diolauge. Then have the SE far shot, before having the original Canina entrance. Then it will be entireley original version until the Falcon takes off, which will be SE.
The entire inside the Death Star scenes will be SE for just general better Matte Paintings, except for major things like Han's lots-of-stormtroopers-room.
The Death Star space battle would be primarily SE, except for the explosion which would be original.
The Award Ceremony would be SE, just because they aren't cardboard cutouts.

ESB

Original version. The whole thing.

ROTJ

Everything would be original up until the new Bantha shot, which would be SE. Then entire ordeal with Jabba's Palace will be original.
Come the end of the film, I would have all the shots of the galaxy-wide celebration, but when It comes back to the Ewoks, they will sing as in the original.

I think I will do this sometime, if I ever want to give Star Wars to a friend.
