I'ts the one with 2 extra discs containing the making of trilogy. Very sharp transfer i might add, almost like its trying to squeeze out of the format. The Disc mastering and pressing is grade A.

 

 Aleksbmw , do these LD'S have Japanese subtitles, if so will you be able to remove them ?

911
Time

9/11 was a weird day for me , i was visiting a place i was injured in a bomb attack ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shankill_Road_bombing ) 8 years earlier . I was was with my wife this time and we were looking at the comemorative plaque remembering the innocent dead and i was telling her about my experience of what happened on that day. My wife and i were beginning to walk away when people started crowding around a next door shop listing to the radio , and we heard about the first tower coming down , when you hear something like that on the radio it doesnt sound real , to be honest it sounded something like the old War Of The Worlds broadcast from the thirties . After getting into the car in disbelief we turned on the radio and every channel had the attack on their stations , total shock and disbelief , how could this happen ?. By the time i got home the Belfast Telegraph had a picture of the attack on its front page . Every news channel in the U.K. had the attack live on t.v. .

 Thats my experience of that day.

Fans are unable to stop Lucas from further ruining star wars and Indiana Jones.

So what?  You can still watch the films, and the cleaned up versions are far better than the factory pressed GOUT.  Just because the quality of something is less does not mean you have lost it.  It's about the film, man. 

Well said  Chewtobacca ,100 % agree with you .When all is said and done at least we have the movies .

Sorry for being away for so long, real life takes its toll. Im going to try and get some material uploaded for you to look at as fast as i can. For the time being the player is not that far off, still trying to get the best capture card for raw avi. The Pinnacle Dc30 card compresses the stream and i dont like the compromise after all the hours spent.

 Welcome back , i always wondered what happened to your project.

Cincy was pretty good last year IIRC.

 Yeah last year they had their best year in a long time , but they know have T.O. to help screw things up for themselves .

yeah, their QB better wear armor on his back to protect from knife wounds.

 LOL.Carson Palmer will also need thick skin to protect him from the insults and shouting T.O. will give him on the sideline .

What's the beef with Prowse?

It's the mixture of pettiness and cultural vandalism that people object to with Lucas, not his charity work.

 Its this very reason that i have such anger against Lucas. Good on him for whatever charity work he does or will do in the future , but giving fans of the original trilogy the middle finger for asking for what we had for twenty years in an acceptable up to date quality is insulting to us all.

For what it's worth, I've always disliked Anthony Daniels.  I don't think there's one person more up their own backside than he is.  The way he behaved towards Kenny Baker - who's a lovely guy - was appalling and smacks of a sense of inflated worth. 

 

 After watching bring back Star Wars on channel 4 , hearing how he treated Kenny Baker ( Easterhay your right he is a lovely guy) especially after Kennys wife died gave me a dislike to this guy also.

Lucas is giving over half of his wealth to charity.

 

Your play...

 Lucas has only said that he's giving half his wealth to charity , what about the charities that are are desperate for help ?, will they just have to wait until the death of george lucas ?. Dave Prowse regulary does charity events even though he's an elderly man.
