Yeah, the cover has a nice style about it, a certain pizazz, and you gotta love any potshots taken at Luca$.

I've watched the sample and I like what I see!  I can't wait for the final products to be available to us!

I have been watching this thread for months, and I still don't know WTF you guys are talking about, LOL!  I was backing up my Dr. Gonzo's and was reminded of how bouncy the image is, and was wondering if my LD's were truly that bad too, but I no longer have a player.

Wow, some serious scripting!  You guys are truly amazing.

Definitely count me in for wanting to see the final products!

I appreciate the comments, but no, not what I had in mind.

Not funny.

Okay, so what is the best version of the OT right now?

Ady, the new shot is AB-FAB.  I love how the transports have different panels on their hulls so they look "just different enough" and are not copy/paste hack jobs like ILM did in so many cases.  The X-Wings appearing from the direction of the hangar entrance just sweetens the deal.  :)

Excellent work there, my friend.

Also in ROTJ, 3PO is never fitted with a restraining bolt.

SOLD.

Guess not.  :(

Thanks.  I'll contact him.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean A B C, but I will help any way I can.  :)

Thanks for the feedback.  It sounds like, aside from the AVCHD reconstructions, the upcoming Dark_Jedi V3 will be the one to have.  I am just so tired of the 2006 DVD pack-ins with their 4:3 letterbox and low resolution. 

Ah, okay.  Thanks for the input.

I have found the IE DVD to be both an enjoyment and a distraction, so I am considering ripping the audio from it unless there is indeed a followup corrected FLAC AE coming.

This sounds truly exciting!  I sure hope these will be available as NTSC through JDownloader or torrent!

Okay folks, I have been reading the numerous threads and I need some honest input here.  As some of you already know, I have the Dr. Gonzo version of the Definitive Collection LD’s on DVDR’s.  There are many, MANY versions to choose from nowadays, so my basic question is this:

In your experienced opinion(s) of what is available at this moment, which release is the very best in picture and sound quality?

I highly value your opinions and look forward to getting what is agreed upon as the “best version” out there right now.  If you do not have the Gonzos and want to compare, I could arrange something I’m sure.

Wow, this is an exciting prospect!  I will be watching with interest!

I have practically every NTSC version of ANH:R.  If someone still needs help or wants one shipped, please PM me.

Thanks.

Understood.  I changed it to JediTray just in case.  Sorry about that.  At any rate, letters are going out to Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox today.  It's ironic that postal mail seems to be the only way to send a letter to Lucasfilm, with all of the technology available.

Very funny.

I decided it was okay to use my name in these posts, but omit my mailing address, etc.

Dear Lucasfilm, George Lucas, and any Lucasfilm Representatives,

I am writing this letter because I am deeply concerned at what has been allowed to happen to the Original Star Wars Trilogy. Mr. Lucas himself spoke out about the preservation of classic films in a Congressional Hearing held in 1988, yet he has campaigned to erase these films in their original states from history. This must not be allowed to happen, and I urge anyone reading this to really think about what is happening. The Original Trilogy will not be included in the upcoming Blu-ray set, and I must inform you that fan outcry has spawned many places on the Web to go for sharing our frustration, as well as all-out boycotting of the Blu-ray set. Of course, we know that these measures will still not keep it from being a best seller, but it MUST be known that we, the fans, are gaining momentum and numbers in this matter. Practically EVERY SINGLE classic film that has been released to Blu-ray and DVD INCLUDES original, unaltered versions that are anamorphic and utilize the best technology has to offer. All we received were dumps from LaserDisc in 4:3 letterbox.

While I understand that it is impossible to make everyone happy with such a huge phenomenon, even the people I have spoken to that are excited about the impending release are puzzled and let-down about the original versions not being available. So to this day, Star Wars remains the ONLY film in recent history where it has been left up to the FANS to preserve it. This is not right and we will continue our efforts to educate and share with anyone who will listen.

Sincerely,

-JediTray

I agree.  The sound on the Definitive Collection LD's and corresponding deluxe widescreen VHS set is much better than the 2004 DVD.  Much more depth.

I have also contacted T Bone's Star Wars Universe.  Will update when I have more.
