Problem is, it's not just the music. When I hear the music, I see the OT - pure and simple. They go hand in hand.

I simply don't have that connection with the PT, nor do I consider it much of a loss. It's just something I have no interest in. Sorry...

No disrespect towards you, but I won't be downloading disc 1.

Bad: They are MP3's (oh well

)

Good: They sound pretty sound. I just listened to Leia's theme (would you believe a fan of the OT soundtracks like me doesn't know them by name? I hope Neil doesn't lose all respect for me), and I love the slow crescendo to the climax. These don't have to match the films. I can't wait to hear the rest.

Ugly: Rikter (Don't tell him I said so

"And I'm sure someone will say "Hey! I liked Sky Captain, you stupid InfoDroid!"

Actually, I rather enjoyed it. At the very least, the creators were honest and made no bones about the true concept of the film. Then again, I'm a fan of the Blair Witch project, because I appreciate the concept that the film was trying to achieve (and I'm not a big fan of horror films that trade real suspense for "look how scary our monster looks!")

"But, honestly, there is more to the guy's body of work than just Star Wars. (Dare I say it?)"

No, but that is his most successful body of work. Considering that most of his other projects were stinkers (Radioland Murders, BTW, showcased many CG environments and sets, and he is also credited for writing the story), I don't see much of a directing/writing future for him after ROTS. Actors aren't the only people who can be typecast.

I've never been one for standing in long movie lines (I've not been to a theater since TPM except for Finding Nemo), but I have to say it's kinda funny to support people who are standing in the wrong line. From what I've seen of the new theater that is playing ROTS, I can understand why Lucas changed venues (after all, what is "tradition" to a guy who wipes his hands of the original SW films.)

But, I digress......

What's grosser than running over a dead baby? Skidding on it.

BTW, ran across this great list: Strange Aussie sayings. Quite a bit of cussing there.

You know, I didn't think that sounded like you in that post. Now the "Al" makes sense. You really need to make him create his own account. (or at least turn off the Automatic Password feature.

"The TR47 version has the full Leia welding scene and the Dr Gonzo version doesn't."

Wasn't that footage originally missing from the TR47 version as well, and recently fixed?

I could make it an AC3 file for you, so the front speakers have the '77 track, and the rear speakers have the '02 track.

"Some of the quality isn't that great"

Well, I noticed a lot of your compilations are on SLP mode, and that's not good - not to mention the wear and tear of making copies. I'll make a short list for you, but if you have some favorites, let me know.

I'll even "trade" you my earlier transfer - which will soon be eclipsed by my new transfer.

Well, I'll be on vacation this month, so if there's two or three things you are dying to get on DVD, let me know.

BTW, Rikter and ReverandBeastly, I'll be finishing your stuff soon as well.

Lucas has said that "Antilles" is the SW equivalent of the name "Smith". There are no relationships between any of the "Antilles" characters in the films.

Lucas is so in love with his technology, that anything new looks good to him. Just read the sig.

" Any idea on when/if a torrent will be up for DELETED MAGIC? Just wondering...can't wait to see it!"

It's only $10 from the source, and you get a nice label on the disk as well.

Don't worry - trading is not discouraged here. I think you'll find that the overall mindset here is about getting the best version of Star Wars-based material to as many fans as possible. We welcome any and all contributors.

BTW, I notice you have a great deal of material on VHS. Are you unable to convert this to MPEG/DVD?
