Indeed, I was happy that we wouldn't confront Czech again since it was the only team which beat us and they played great hockey. Also it was a dream match, to kick our "beloved" neighbour's butt for the second time in the final! We hate the swedes! :D
Sorry Harmy, but we won. :) Our second World Championship. Awesome final.

Dream on! That would have to be 4 layer BD and as far as I know, nothing like that is commercially available yet and probably won't be any time soon, because the current players couldn't play it.
Could be, haven't really followed the situation recently but if they're developing 1TB discs I thought maybe 100GB discs would start coming. But if the players won't play them then that sucks...
Username: Comes from my middle name, extra X is just there since Lex was already in use here.
Avatar: Just threw there something, I like classic Star Wars and it's great art. I could change it something but haven't come up with anything cool.
Title: Classic SW again and I think it's a really cool and mythical concept. Also it describes me in many ways.
Signature: Again, threw something. Don't really care what reads there.
I'm kind of bummed they still had to use two discs for the BDs... But I'm glad the quality wasn't compromised, I was just hoping they would use bigger discs if they had to. I'm sure they will be on 100GB discs later.
This whole thread is becoming frustrating to read and I really don't see the point of it, it almost begins to look like trolling. Are you really saying you don't understand what preserving and restoring means? In that case, here you go:
Preserve: To keep in perfect or unaltered condition; maintain unchanged.
Restore: To bring back to an original condition
What I'm trying to say is that this is not subjective. I could see the point of this thread if you wouldn't mention both of those words and you'd be just asking if people would be alright if LFL only changes some effects and then debate about that. I understand that some people would be okay with some changes and that's an opinion and I can respect it. But it has nothing to do with preservation or restoration.
I don't hate it either, but it seems that every time I watch it nowadays I seem to like it less and less. The Ewok part is just terrible, after Speeder Bike chase I'd really like to skip all Endor parts but I don't skip anything with any movie. Jabba part is only goofy fun, it's not great but at least it has something happening the whole time so you can sit through it. Of course the space battle and the throne room are the best parts in the movie. I still get chills everytime from Vader's "If you will not turn to the darkside, perhaps she will" hitting Luke's soft spot and the epic music starts. I think that's my favorite part in the whole trilogy even though the whole sister plot isn't very clever.
I don't think you should be interested in people's opinions if you're restoring (and by that, I mean doing it RIGHT) something to it's original state. Either you restore it or you don't. You can't always be like "it's more original but still not original, we'll just give you this to shut you up". You need to raise your standards to get anything. Otherwise LFL will be like "hey, they're demanding that OT again, let's make the LD masters anamorphic now so it's a little better and people will again be a little happier".

The 1985 mix has much less dynamic range and the 1993 mix added new sound effects. That's the main difference from my memory.
Also didn't the 85 mix include 3PO's tractor beam line?
Any updates Puggo?

Hey, I just took this quick comparison between the 2004/2006 DVD release and the hero image currently on the Star Wars site. These look like different takes, so it may not matter; bonus/alternate scenes likely have never seen the Lowry beast.
Still, it's worth a look:
The first one is a photo for promotional use, not a screenshot. Haven't you seen it before??

Well, if there's Skywalker in OT and Skywalker in PT then you'd need to change the names, too...
Why?
Because it spoils the whole surprise anyway. I don't think anyone wouldn't think that Luke and that guy in PT aren't relative to each other once they hear "Skywalker".
Edit: and I couldn't care less if Skywalker is or isn't a popular name; if you have three movies with one Skywalker and three movies with another, it would be a bigger surprise that they aren't relative.
Yes but that only flags up the near certainty that Anakin Skywalker is Luke Skywalker's father not Darth Vader.
Good point.

I once thought it was as simple as "you gotta' believe".
While I agree on some level, wouldn't the galaxy be full of Jedi by only those standards?
People wanting to rant so much that they personally sent you a message which only contain complaining ending with "grow up" should look in the mirror.
I actually stopped watching the series in the beginning of 3rd season. While it has some okay moments, many episodes are dragging so long and all the politics etc. and all the other stuff I mentioned before. It really isn't for me.

It's not a nipple. It's part of the Bra. What a pity, though.
Like I said, I wasn't sure and couldn't check it. Too bad. :( Almost!

Please god let there be pics.
LOL. Well, I'm not 100% sure and I don't have the DVDs now, maybe someone can take a screencap from HD material? But it looks like it though.

And it wouldn't cost anything except for a new scan.
Too bad it costs so much that poor George can't afford it.
Any news when the V3 DVDs are coming out?

Nobody watching the dailies ever noticed Oola's wardrobe malfunction?
Well, "nobody" noticed Leia's wardrobe malfunction, either. Not that I'm complaining though. Silly question! :P

In what year did Lucas stop calling them the special edition.
I think it was in 2000:
I like all the old documentaries from each film, then From SW to Jedi, Empire of Dreams (mainly only the SW part, sequels didn't get much attention) and of course Jambe's great docs.
Are all the SW prints looking the same as PG or would there be others that have more color like TESB print?
