JadedSkywalker

Added Star Wars 1986 Japanese Pressing with OBI, Empire Japanese pressing from 1986 with Obi, and Jedi with OBI from the same series. Pan and scan.

Added Return of the Jedi 1995 Faces with OBI from Japan
also the 1995 Faces Hong Kong Pan and scan Return of the Jedi, although it has hole punches in the cover and is probably ex rental i really want to confirm if its the same Pan and scan transfer of the 1995 VHS set.

Just got my Boxtree first printing of Dark Empire it is slightly less tall than the us edition also on lousy quality non glossy paper. Very disappointed. The only positive is the content is identical to the first US printing, but it looks so muddy i feel like i wasted 25 dollars. In fact its on worse paper than the original run of comics of which i own the first edition of issue #1. Now i’m tempted to get the Epic Collection from Marvel to compare.

A Hard Days Night
Help
Dr Strangelove
The day the earth stood still
2001 a Space Odyssey

Those books are trade paperback but other than the cover there is no new content. Exactly the same as every other mass market edition, which already exist in numerous reprintings. They are not illustrated or annotated editions with commentary.

Shatterpoint is getting an unabridged audiobook edition for the first time, that seems to be the only new content.

Thanks for the Jaws reminder i added it.

The only one i’ve seen that wasn’t really in my wheelhouse but i really liked was Tucker the man and his dream.

But then i’ve liked most of Lucasfilm, including twice upon a time. Willow. Red Tails, Strange Magic, even Howard the Duck.

Radioland Murders to be honest i haven’t seen. I guess i should try it.

I would list

Star Wars
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Terminator
Alien
Back to the Future
Ghostbusters
Yojimbo
The Predator
The Hunt for Red October
Rocky
Rambo First Blood
Die Hard
Superman 78
Star Trek TMP, yeah i think its more cinematic than Khan and it did not start the super villains hell bent on revenge tread of Star Trek films.
Jaws
Jurassic Park

Is it okay to like a trashy remake, i kind of like Never Say Never Again. I would never say its better than Thunderball though.

I see the Thing has already been mentioned, so i guess i will say Judy Garland version of a Star is Born.

Spider-Man 2 by Raimi.

Logan

The Dark Knight

I bought mine in Newbury Comics. It was a very nice looking set, nice movie compact disc cases and box. The transfer on the other hand i found to be worse than the VHS release. Which also came out in 2000. I thinks its pan and scan, no pan and scan Laserdisc exists for the 2000 release. But one does for the 1995 Faces OT in Hong Kong with Cantonese Subtitles.

One of these days i really have to get around to watching the Ghibli Box laserdisc and the 1998 Disney one and see which one has the better transfer. I do know that the Ghibli box version has the Old Kiki Jal Airlines dub, and the other the uncut dub from 98 with soaring and i’m gonna fly and all of Phil Hartman’s Jiji lines.

Not superior but a new take would be Space Battleship Yamato 2199. I feel like it was the best remake i’ve ever seen. Very faithful in spirit to the original series.

I don’t really care for remake sequels as a concept, even if i sort of like aspects of Force Awakens. And i despised Jurassic World. I still feel like they shouldn’t have remade return of the jedi as rise of skywalker, but again i liked the movie regardless. Last Jedi was sort of a remake of Empire Strikes Back and Return as well, and sort of not.

Into Darkness wasn’t better than Wrath of Khan, although i don’t hate Into Darkness. I just feel like all the Star Trek films lately were villains with revenge plots. Rather than about humanism and exploration.

Lucas was mixing the mono mix and the foreign releases right up until he left for Hawaii.

Or so i’ve read. The story of him going on vacation, building sand castles with Spielberg and telling him about Indiana Smith, a James Bond style serial.

I had one of those subscriptions that lasted the entire production timeline of the prequels it was a 10 year subscription. It ended in 2005. I still have the revenge of the sith watch, the patch and stickers and welcome letter somewhere. The Bantha Tracks iron on was cool.

I also once had a subscription to Topps Star Wars Galaxy magazine. But when it became the Star Wars galaxy collector it just wasn’t the same and i stopped collecting it. The original magazine came with posters and cards.

I never had the 2003 edition, mine was the first impression first printing from 1993. Glossy Shiny Paper. The colorist used quite garish colors. I have no idea who the colorist was, i always assumed it was Pamela Rambo but its not stated.

I decided to buy the Boxtree version instead of the new Marvel printing. I like Dark Empire not sure i 40 dollars like Dark Empire. I also don’t need Dark Empire II already have it. Don’t need the supplements, just want a reading copy in new shape without coffee stains.

I also just got Dark Horse Comics TPB for Tales of the Jedi. I have the Sith War. Just need to find Dark Lords of the Sith.

Also trying to find Boba Fett Enemy of the Empire at a decent price. Same for Mara Jade by the Emperor’s Hand and Shadows of the Empire TPB. I used to have all of these i have no idea what happened to them. Maybe someone borrowed them and never returned them.

I assumed he would be like Luke but more foolhardy and headstrong. Strong in his beliefs and quick to anger, impatient. Naturally gifted, a great starpilot and a cunning warrior.

I like Dark Empire. It was just reprinted by Marvel, and looks to be the definitive printing.

I won’t know if it is as good as the original printing in terms of paper quality until my copy arrives.

I found that my first edition is ruined by a coffee stain, and i cannot afford to replace it. So i assume the newest printing will do.

It is extremely beautiful nonetheless. It doesn’t have that awful orange/pink tint the laserdisc has. Or the DNR smear.

If you are talking about the 97 scan i think you are.

Anakin’s voice telling Rey to restore the balance in Rise of Skywalker. Is obviously a reference to the chosen one who will bring balance to the force, by doing away with the Sith.

Palpatine’s resurrection was obviously done through cloning and manipulation of midi-chlorians. Its referenced by the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities line. And obviously a reference to his discussion with Anakin in episode III about Darth Plagueis.

I should have been more plain. I want the Mono Mix for American Graffiti and the 1973 cut, as well as the 1978 cut in stereo with the original opening.

And the 1971 Cut of THX 1138 and 1978 Cut.

What i don’t want and is already available is the 1998 edit of Graffiti or the 2004 edit of THX.

Going to be strange to have an Indiana Jones without George Lucas, and not directed by Steven Spielberg. The 5th movie directed by James Mangold, Janusz Kaminski is also not returning as cinematographer. They brought in Phedon Papamichael.

I hope John Williams is doing the score there is no news that that isn’t the case.

Dark Jedi did a transfer of the Faces FullScreen VHS tapes. These would be the NTSC releases.

I also think The Starkiller did a transfer of the Fox rental tape for star wars from 1982.

The Ugnaught also did his own transfer of the rental tape but i never had that one myself.

Dark Jedi did the fullscreen Special Edition from 97.

Added Stargate Laserdisc. Japanese Edition. With OBI, Best of 100 years of cinema series. Ac3, THX disc. Gatefold.

Revenge of the Sith 1080P digital 2020 edition.

American Graffiti Pan and Scan CLV Japanese Laserdisc with OBI. Its really cool the chapters are listed by the songs like an LP record. Its the 78 cut without the Cgi sunset. Altered sky.

You’re not wrong, the Japan Special Collection discs, and the US release of Special Widescreen editions, and boxed sets still command high prices. Its kind of funny seeing how the last releases not counting the Special Edition, the faces releases were in 1995 on Laserdisc. And people will still pay a hundred bucks for a full set of the trilogy in 2021.

The Gout is now impossible to find at a good price on DVD. I’ve got the Fullscreen DVD from 2006, which was a mistake of a seller on Ebay way back in time. And the bonus discs are the 4:3 letterbox transfers.

As a collector i’ve tried to find the Japanese Edition Region 2 Best Buy tin equivalent, but it doesn’t come up on ebay that often.

I remember this. I have the Mark Vaz book, the comics and CD Soundtrack in storage somewhere. I also believe i have the book club edition of novelization.

I had Shadows of the Empire N64, but it went the same place all my other consoles and games did into my brothers collection.

I remember renting the cartridge from Blockbuster video, i believe i bought an ex-rental copy somewhere down the line without the instruction book but with the box.

I have the carded figure of Luke in that red colored outfit. Its somewhere.

I remember really liking Hugh Fleming’s cover art for Shadows of the Empire, and some of the other dark horse titles like Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith, and Splinter of the Mind’s eye

Wookieepedia lists the date of 8 Against Aduba 3 in late of 77. November 8th of 77. Jaxxon’s first appearance. I don’t have that comic at hand so i cannot check the date.
