Anyone here sells those? (*Outside* yakyakyak

By the way, as far as Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor in TESB goes, I'd *love* that change, but I'm afraid it's simply just fan wish, as is that very unconvincing image from TDB.

And just look at Bib whenever he glances at Jabba. Normally, he doesn't even move his face muscles much, but when he casts his eyes on Jabba, he instantly has that lecherous, salivating smile, he opens his mouth and makes low, lusty noises... and that lewd look in his eyes...

This title is worse than everything that Supershadow could post.

Where do you see that? Because I couldn't find anything of this sort on TFN. You're NOT referring to that bulls*it "list" of idiotic never-real "changes" that was made up by someone a while ago and debunked by Moriarty from AICN? The one with "an image of Christensen replaces Sebastian Shaw, Padme is inserted in RotJ as Leia's memory", etc.?

Moriarty also mentioned that no changes were planned for the DVD release other than maybe some small cleaning, such as sabers and remnants of bluescreen lines.

He only had sex with the rancor, that's why he was so pissed off after its death.

Well, that Total Movie disc was the only official DVD release (and even that had to be reedited to avoid copyright infringement)... and even if I found Kevin Rubio and if he answered me, I strongly doubt he'd be interested in selling one measly copy

(well, maybe I'd buy a second one for my nephew, but no more than that

)

So, you've seen this bootleg then? Is it an exact copy of the Total Movie disc, or something with crappier quality (recompressed, skipping, with permanent Chinese subtitles like that infamout OT boot, etc.)? I wanted Troops on that DVD, and if that's the only way to go, then I guess I will bid on another copy of this (though I'm hesitant, considering that the seller ignored me when I asked him a question).

Would you be willing to sell a copy internationally if you have a DVD recorder...?

Personally, I wouldn't even want such a bizarre hybrid for free... I want the SE on the official DVDs and I'll get it as soon as it comes out, and I'd obviously like to have the OT - on some less official discs

- but not such a weird mutation of both.

Could anyone who owns the original DVD with "Troops", that came with a mag called "Total Movie" in 2000, look at this auction and say if this is a real DVD from, perhaps, some Asian edition of the mag, or just a DVDR copy of the actual DVD? (The seller wouldn't tell...)

I do have that travesty on DVD-R, in very good quality, but I've read somewhere that someone had a website that was selling a "first edition" of this, a version not recorded off TV but taken from the original tapes used by the station, which therefore didn't have any artifacts/humming "added" by a recorder, the age of a VHS tape and so on... unfortunately, I can't recall where it was, how much the seller was asking, whether or not he shipped internationally, etc... does anyone know where this site/seller can be found, perhaps?

When? And will they be the ones transferred from laserdisc, not VHS? And when? And if they're from laserdiscs, then will the interviews etc. from those versions be included? And when? How much? And when? What payment will you accept? And, since I haven't asked about this yet - *when*?

(I hope I didn't sound too rambling and overexcited.

I really do. What? Why, the trilogy. Now I know I will have the SE on DVD soon enough - at least I hope GL will keep to the deadline - but I also want to purchase the original, pre-SE trilogy on DVD. I’ve spent enough time looking for them from various sources that finally I thought posting here would be the last chance… Since posting any links, etc., is probably not allowed, could those who have the answer e-mail me with a response (sammybullgravano@yahoo.com)? Thanks…

To cut a long story short, eBay dealers who have it are often fishy or unreliable, or both, and the only reported online source (Mov…op) is now purely a scam site, and I know of no other source… so, if anyone does, could you let me know?

What I’m specifically looking for:

the original trilogy, not the upcoming Special Edition.
widescreen (duh!)
good quality transfers from the laserdisc version - absolutely not the one from VHS.
no permanent subtitles, other than the alien languages .
real, pressed DVDs - NOT DVDRs, VCDs, CD-Rs (heh).
the version that has the original trailers and bonus featurettes (interview with GL, etc.).
a seller that does not “ship to United States/Canada only”!

I don’t particularly care about covers and boxes, I can design and print those out myself.

As for payment, I suppose it would be the usual “eBay ways” - cashier’s check, Western Union money order / transfer, Bidpay and such services, cash in registered letter… Absolutely no pAYPAL, because of which I got my card hacked twice already.

So, could anyone let me in on any online boot store similar to Superhappy (who, I’ve heard, actually had them for a while, but certainly don’t any longer…?), or their eBay auction that really fulfills the requirements above?

TIA…
