Discussion: Batsh*t crazy ebay listings
Time

That was the first LD release back in the day. (Never came out on disc in the U.S.) Not sure why it should still command such a high price now.

Now, this isn't crazy, but I find this kind of auction creepy.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970s-35mm-transparency-Slides-with-circular-magazine-random-photos-Star-Wars-/151250932727?pt=Art_Photo_Images&hash=item23374213f7

This is someone's memories being sold off. The more I stare at that photo, the more questions I have. Are any of these people still alive? Did they buy their clothes at Sears? Are they still Star Wars fans? Is that a ghost in the window? Is that a glass of beer on top of the tv?

Do you think Disney will release the unaltered versions for DVD and blue ray?
Time

Fox can probably reissue the movies as many times as they want so long as they still retain the video rights. (They did new BD/DVD combo packs last year.) Much the same way Spike continues to run the entire saga until their broadcast rights expire later this year.

Whether Fox could release the OOT without Lucas' blessing is unlikely. They might be sitting on some prints, but George has everything else in the vault.

Info Wanted: a good preservation of 'From Star Wars to Jedi, The Making of a Saga'?
Time

I don't think anyone has undertaken a preservation project. The only LD release was in Japan, and has burned in subtitles of course.

I've been trying to find a 16mm print for years now. The prints of the the SW and ESB docs Puggo is working on were public library discards, so there's always a chance it and Classic Creatures will pop up.

For the record: This was not me. I hung up my hat after the last one, issued my apologies, and moved on. I'm simply done with that shit. Plus, my actions got Ric Olie banned and I still feel real bad about that.

 If it makes you feel any better, I don't blame you.  I blame Moth3r.

You gotta blame Silverwook .... it was his doing.  Glad I know I wasn't paying too much attention at the time other wise I would have believed him.
