Can you take a picture of the damage to the disc surface? LD's are usually more robust than DVD in taking a lot of abuse before becoming unplayable.
No obvious signs of disc rot?
If all else fails, I would think someone over at the LDDB forums could be of help here.
Horrible pan and scan aside, I couldn't spot any differences from the version we're most familiar with. The exact same transfer was used for the early full frame Japanese LD, which I sent msycamore a capture of sometime back.
Excuse me, you would? Why does god a starship need?
Was that Marquand doing Jabba's lines?
I wonder if there are any outtakes from Jedi where dune buggies got into the shot. I read once that was an issue during the Yuma shoot.
I have issues with the last line in that eye chart! ;)
Just watched it. I wonder if the stuntman could feel the heat of the still burning squib?
It looks exactly the same as the one I have. I need to photograph the box and cassette one of these days for the archives. :)
Digging the old RCA/Columbia Home Video look to the Critters covers. I still have my LD's of the first two.
Why do these image heavy posts always make my connection choke? We really need a cut tag around here.
Ah, the Imperial Troop Transporter. Probably the first ever EU vehicle. I still like the design, but only carrying six guys, (besides the drivers) in a standing position must suck for long trips. Not to mention being a mobile shooting gallery for a potential sniper. ;)
I picked up a copy of Jack The Giant Slayer this evening. The DVD only version is pretty cheap. I'll endeavor to watch it this week, and take notes. You can thank me later. :)
Could the screencaps be a good color reference at least?
At least there's a 16mm in the right hands. :)
Gee, thanks for that mental image.
Impressive! Most impressive!
If another print ever turns up, this could be a lifesaver.
Let's reserve a little judgement until we see some actual footage of sufficient length, shall we? ;)
Why not watch the real deal? ;)

Some of these are a little disturbing, so be warned!

We never saw Picard take the Ent D Captain's Yacht out either. ;)
Maybe in the recent Jack the Giant Killer Slayer movie he was in?
JEDIT:I keep getting the title mixed up with a much older movie. ;)
It's not a contradiction, but did we really need it to understand The Force? We sure as heck didn't need it in the OT.

Oh, come on! I love Star Wars a huge amount but "broad" and "deep" it is not. It's very simple storytelling done in a very good way.
Well I won't discuss "deep" because that is entirely up to opinion. But as for "broad", it is certainly is. OT deals with human nature, war, mythology, romance, growing up, militarism, politics, crime, etc. There is pretty much everything from the modern and past world projected through a fairytale into a galaxy far far away.
Just about every incarnation of Trek has dealt with these subjects, especially The Original Series and The Next Generation. TOS got away with discussing things most shows in the 1960's couldn't touch, because it was a science fiction setting.
Someone strong in the Force who's grown up not being taught by either side, is something we haven't seen before, at least not on screen. (Even in the Old Republic, the Jedi couldn't possibly find every kid with Force abilities.) The closest thing is Desann in the Jedi Outcast game.
I found the whole "too old to be trained" thing a bit suspect, as those rejected would be easily pickings for the Sith, or just go dark side on their own.
There's no need to mention midichlorians in the sequels. (Why do I think of pool supplies every time I see that word?) A Jedi can sense if someone is strong in the Force, without a blood test. George only brought that in to reinforce Anakin as the "chosen one".
Luke has probably found and trained a bunch of new Jedi since ROTJ. His earliest students can be training new recruits by now.
If anything, the PT references can simply be visual. A portrait of Padme on a wall. Rusted battledroids on a long forgotten battlefield, along with skeletal Clone Trooper remains. Jar Jar Binks' tombstone.
Okay, the last one was wishful thinking, but you get the idea. ;)

I don't see any relevance of rumours among kids. If it is not in the film it means nothing.
Certainly there is no evidence that might suggest Stormtroopers were clones. Actually there is strong evidence that they are not.
The lava thing wasn't a rumor. It came from an interview Lucas gave in the 70's, and it went viral amongst the fans.
In any case, some of us kids thought Clone Wars meant clones fighting in a war. Your mileage may vary.
Someone's a little late to the party? ;)
Problem with that is that the idea of troopers as clones has been around since the OT. Never stated on screen, but just like Vader had a little accident with some lava, every kid knew about it.
