the third takes place after the Daley trilogy and Han wins the Falcon.
Huh? Han had the Falcon in the Daley trilogy.

I see nothing about the current state of Star Wars to celebrate.
Indeed why go to a large gathering of warsie nerds who dress up as stormtroopers and kiss Lucas ass the sycophants, when the original films are locked up in skwalker ranch and he won't release them.
Funny how even the first part of this will be on BD and the second part isn't.

The Empire's speciesist and sexist. Notice the lack of women in the Imperial hierarchy.
A crazy mad woman like Daala ?
Actually it was told that she was an exception, if I remember correctly since it's been like 10 years when I read the books, and she got promotions by sleeping with Tarkin or something.

Wait, what? No, is NO difference. Calling someone a "darkie" IS insulting their race.
How is that insulting? What is the insult in this?

Rebel Assault games (very nostalgic and somehow flying though Beggar's Canyon with an uncalibrated joystick was a pain)
Flying through Beggar's Canyon with a calibrated joystick, a mouse, or a keyboard was a pain as well. I swear, there were no good controller option for those games. The shitty controls had to have been an intentionally part of those games' difficulty. I'd never put up with something like that today, but as a young SW hungry lad living in the pre-revival days of the early to mid nineties, I ate them up and loved every frustrating second of it. Kids these days don't realize how lucky they are to have the Rogue Squadron games.
LOL, yeah. Rebel Assault was my first PC game ever and it was ridicilously hard. I was a kid then, now I've completed it on all levels, but it sucked back then. Also the way you needed to play through 3 levels at one time to get the code so you could continue from later levels made it damn hard. For me it took years to play it through. Beggar's Canyon was easy but that A-Wing level... Jeez!
Edit: also the need for calibrating the joystick every time you started the game... don't miss those days.

Wow, people really need to relax if they think Leia is being racist. And if she is, so what? I think the line is funny, not ha-ha funny, but funny. The comment about it being there if SW was made today makes you think what kind of a world we live in...
*AHEM*
I was being silly..
Hence the Wookiee Goldberg joke
I didn't mean you but the discussion before it.

Otherwise, that's the best one of those you showed, I'd say.
Agreed. Maybe put two spaces or change the size.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean now. The GOUT is definitely more cropped on all sides compared to the 04SE.
I meant that is the whole movie actually cropped from a bigger image or was it only that shot or what's going on. So could you go back to original negatives and see a lot more than what has been released? Like 005 said: I'm just wondering what ratio the original film was in to allow for so much cropping.
So, could they do this with all scenes? Is there actually a lot of cropped image?

the ban includes masks and any headwear that covers the face
So does that also mean kids can't wear Halloween masks?
Isn't Halloween kinda American thing?
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.
