I would love it if you posted some URL's to those discussions, Heero Yuy.

I don't even have a Blu-ray player.  I only own them so that I can enjoy Harmy's cut. 

Unless George Lucas is still exercising some kind of shitty movie mojo over Star Wars, I don't know If I would be interested in seeing this movie.  GL was a terrible person for what he inflicted upon the world, but it is Disney's responsibility to reboot the prequels at this point.   

Just what it sounds like.  I like collecting :)  If you run across one, think of us.

Here is the inaugural link

Big_Benn_Klingoni Upset no PT combat in Battlefront III

For the sake of all that's fuck.  The theatrical release of Star Wars '77 is, if nothing else, a historical work and should be preserved based on that basis alone.  To come to a forum at originalTrilogy.com and suggest that there needs to be any justification beyond that is trolling.

Better quality source is what its all about.  If there are some commentaries or, (dare we hope,) they actually give us the original trilogy... bonus

Something in Sith where they used President George Bush's "If you aren't for me, you are against me" thing, only instead of just outright quoting, they chose to replace it with some really awkward wording, or as I like to call it, "Normal PT dialog."

...I wish droids that can feel pain was an error, instead of a bad decision.

Is Han gaining 20 pounds in carbon freeze an error?

I would like to see the arc of Luke's saber cutting through the speeder bike match the subsequent pieces or vice versa .  

The speeder that was trying to get away would have run into the log even had he not been blasted.  I would be good to see that fixed.

The infamous Luke kick that totally missed the guy who then reacts (late) as if Luke connected, (as Fett flies by in the back ground)

The non-matching Boba Fett rocket exhaust.

The size of the bunker explosion doesn't match the reaction to the explosion of Han and the strike team just a few yards away.

The nearly cartoonish matte painting behind Han and Lando while they discuss Lando using the falcon as a point vehicle in the upcoming offensive.

 I assume you're sticking your tongue out at yourself for your image fail.

 ALLOL

 Assume makes an ass out of you and... well, period.

 The funny thing about this is that you're the only one who thinks you did it right.  No one else can see your image because you did it wrong.

What's funny about you using a bad browser/wrong settings? Well, actually, it kinda is, so fail indeed.

I'm in the Wato is anti-semitism camp.

From wikipedia

Allegations of antisemitismIt has been suggested that this character is offensive because he resembles a stereotypical Jewish caricature. He has a large nose, beady eyes, and speaks in a gravelly voice and is portrayed as greedy and covetous, another common stereotype of Jews. J. Hoberman of The Village Voice called him a blatant ethnic stereotype due to his hooked nose.  Bruce Gottlieb of Slate magazine criticized him as well, comparing his character to the anti-Semitic notion that the Jewish race is "behind the slave trade."Patricia J. Williams of The Nation stated that Watto was also described as a stereotype of Arabs, but that he was "more comprehensively anti-Semitic -- both anti-Arab and anti-Jew."  She added that Watto reminded her of an "anti-Semitic caricature published in Vienna at the turn of the 20th century."Jane Prettyman of the American Review noted that after leaving the theater, she heard two young boys describe him as "that weird little Jewish guy with wings". Prettyman described his depiction as "not at all subtle", and said that "it can be counted on to flush out already-formed Jew-haters among young audiences and give them permission to continue their hatred out loud."

I'm just feeding the troll.  The last SE product I bought was the 2004 Wars for the theatrical release.  When I saw the quality, I didn't bother with ESB and ROTJ.

I hate that they "fixed" Lando's stutter.  It totally ruins the pace of the scene.  Thank god the original scene as screened theatrically has been preserved in Harmy's version,

...and hopefully on Blu-Ray pretty soon.  http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/05/15/new-star-wars-rumors-include-original-trilogy-re-release-on-blu-rayvod-and-more/ )

 Is it wrong that all i want to do is go to TFN and watch the meltdown?

It surprises me, though, that on a forum such as this, where fans will pick up on anything and everything (from colour coding to the different fonts used for the subtitles), no-one appears to have noticed the dialogue change that I mentioned. Or has it become de rigeur to just post endlessly about the changes that we don't like? Perhaps that's why the audio cock up with the music during the Death Star battle on the DVD of A New Hope drew so much stick and yet, when Matthew Woods changed it back to how it was originally, there was barely a murmour.

He is lucky to have not been fired in the first place.  Fixing it is a bare minimum expectation.  He is lucky if he got paid to fix it, since it was his mistake.  Why does that even need mention much less praise?

I may be going a little meta here, but what I really hate about the EU is that since the announcement that only the PT, TCW, Rebels, the OT, and the ST count

 There has never been such an announcement. I would challenge you to provide a source for that.

 ;)

Between Harmy and Adywan there is no need to ever watch any current George Lucas version of the OT ever again.  FTR, I am totally into discussing the positive changes made by either of these people to the OT.

Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Did I already say, "Anything but Sith" yet?

Everything published before April 2014, including things that are referred to that were published before April 2014 in things published after April 2014*,  is now labelled Legends. Going forward, everything new whether it be movie, comic, novel or game is a part of the official Star Wars continuity.

Watched some star Wars stuff

Star Wars Day:

Revenge of the Sith - 9:58am

Ewoks: The Battle For Endor - 12:14pm

The Star Wars Holiday Special - 2:02pm

Return of the Jedi - 3:54pm

Youtube Parodies - 5:53pm

Phantom Menace - 7:17pm

Marvel Comics: Whatever happened to Jabba The Hutt? - 9:45pm

It's a DVD that was transferred from VHS.  It seems unlikely to me that they are going to just pop it in and press play, sight unseen. tomorrow night at 10.  Plus they have access to Omnimax technology and (I assume) someone that knows how to use it.  I bet it ends up being a pretty cool event.  Wish I lived slightly closer...   

Maybe they were able to do a scan that looks better on a bigger screen?  GOUT looks like total shit on my 36" and their screen has to be bigger than mine.

I just got the call back.  They claim that they have transferred what they say is a 1977 VHS to DVD format and are projecting that.  I'm not aware of a 1977 VHS release of that film.  I think what they may have is that earliest version with the cover that doesn't include "New Hope" in the artwork.

I called the Science Center.  The board meets this morning at 10am central.  They have been given my question about what specific copy they are showing tomorrow night and will discuss how to answer that question during the meeting.  I expect a call from them with that answer sometime this afternoon.
