I have the LP and CD of the Utah Symphony recording, too. But, I've had it with the LP version- at one time I had 2 LPs of this and BOTH LPs developed a loud "pop" right in the middle of "luke and leia". I figured I wasn't meant to listen to this recording on LP, so, I sold one of them to a record store and bought the CD. :-P

The one thing I don't like about the USO version of "luke and leia" is that it runs a bit too slow. I love Jabba The Hutt though, (especially since it's the only recorded version available) and I like "Darth Vader's Death" better than the LSO version.

Can't wait for the YouTube edit. ;-)

What youtube edit is that?

The one that hasn't been created yet, AFAIK. The edit that combines the finale of ROTJ with the finale of Sgt. Pepper.

Luke gazes upon the faces of.....Robert Palmer, the Pointer Sisters, Carol Channing.....and of course Peter Frampton and The Bee Gees.

;-)

He'll probably add some more force ghosts- George Burns, Dame Edna.....it'll look like the last shot in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. :-P

Can't wait for the YouTube edit. ;-)

Yeah, thanks! I love stuff like this. :-)

For some reason, I can't get this to play on my DVD player. It plays fine on my computer, and OCP's IV and V play on my DVD player, but not VI.

Is there anything I can do to it to make it more compatible with my DVD player- like, making a copy of it with some files removed, etc. ?

If they were in good condition, that sounds like a bargain.

Holy crap! I've never noticed that before! I've been too busy trying to read that screen all these years. Is that from Empire or Jedi? Although it would make sense if they simply recycled that shot for Jedi...

Yeah, it's from Empire but I wouldn't be surprised if they used it for Jedi, too.

Let's not forget the car cassette deck in Luke's x-wing (far left):

The cast of the SWHS too! (Harvey Korman died last year). :-(

I always thought Guy Pearce would have been a great Spidey.

Maybe 40 years ago! :)

 

He's only 41 - Tobey Maguire is almost 34. It's not THAT big of an age difference. ;-)

Anyway this proves without a doubt that a demand to Lucasfilm for a remaster is needed, never mind the empire strikes back release being fucked from improper mixing as well.  Only Star Wars is a perfect release.  Jedi is also missing music that was on the anthology set.  Someones need to tell LucasFilm to show a little respect to John Williams and pay for a fixed release. That and the laserdsic dump of the original films makes me more than a little mad with them at the moment.  I guess its not worth doing to Greedo unless there is money to be made.

I doubt there will be any more soundtrack remasters anytime soon. At least we have the Anthology set, albeit OOP but easily duplicated or found used. For sure there will never be another release of "Lapti Nek" or Ewok Celebration. I'm grateful they were released on CD before Lucas went bonkers. Too bad DVDs weren't around 16 years ago too.

I thought "B-Movies" were low-budget?

I always thought Guy Pearce would have been a great Spidey.

I'd rebuild you and everything, but I'm too busy watching cartoons right now.

Shucks. :-P

Scooby Doo?

If anybody has any news on how well the 2006 GOUT dvds sold, I think a lot of us would be happy to hear it.

 

The 2006 DVDs were pretty high on Amazon's 'top sellers' list when they were released, FWIW, but I don't know the exact numbers.

They were in a fire, but there wasn't enough time for their bodies to decompose. I wonder how they got that way then? Luke must have come up at most a few hours later. Maybe their bodies were eaten by decomposers, but it's the desert-there aren't any! Or the stormtroopers could have done the blaster torture thing where they essentially shoot off your flesh using a low power setting.  Ouch!

 

They were VAPORIZED! ;-)

Dude, are you trying to be obnoxious? You know what I mean. No, I'm not trying to indiciate you can see anything where the arrow is pointing. 

No "Dude", I'm not trying to be obnoxious, but you're getting dangerously close.

A little bit of politeness goes a long way.

I think it was when I saw the SPFX:The Empire Strikes Back special on TV in 1980, I guess it was.

I actually saw that before I saw any of the films. 

Janskeet said:

Have you seen ROTJ?????

Um, yeah.....LOL. I thought I was supposed to be seeing something in the photo.

The photo does not illustrate your point- the arrow points at nothing. Maybe that's why Vader didn't see him. ;-) 

Janskeet said:. 

 

 

Where? I don't see him. 

Sluggo said:

Definitely.  I don't likes the Yub Yub, but dang if I don't want it (and only it) on a proper release of the original theatrical edition.

That's good to know, and BTW I did get your Spinal Tap joke before. :-P

I have no problem with people preferring the '97 music, as long as we all agree that if and when the original ROTJ is released in proper form, that the original Yub Nub ending should remain (which I think we do).

The butchering of the original footage is the worst thing, IMO.

So lets say that the GOUT is released in perfect anamorphic, unmolested, non-raping your childhoods, blu-ray perfection, OK? Its sitting on your shelf and you like to curl up with it when you go to bed each night. OK? You are happy.

Yup. Happy.

Then George releases a new 6 disk set that does have changes to the OT. Are there any that you would like? These can be both already existing and theoritical. Thoughts?

Don't care. Wouldn't buy it.

A- 11

B- 10

Gaffer Tape said: Oh, yeah, I remember that.  All those idiots saying completely ridiculous things like, "Anamorphic didn't exist back then, so these DVDs shouldn't be anamorphic!" and "Movies didn't look good 30 years ago, so this is the way it looked back then!"  Man, what tools!

That's what happens when parents don't put a limit on their kids' computer time ;-)

Gaffer Tape said:In my eyes, it doesn't matter if it's an improvement or not. A movie is what it is, and once it's finished, it should be left alone.

Baronlando said:

Hey you're right! I compared them on youtube. I guess the technology didn't exist to cut those shots into smaller fragments in 1983, even though that was the original vision.

LOL! Yeah, I just watched them too.

That's such a sweet (albeit brief) moment between Luke and Leia  - what reason could there have possibly been to butcher it?!
