I presume Kenner had reference material for this.

Yoda's outfit isn't quite like Ben's sans cloak.

I think it's safe to say a decision was made on ROTJ that all Jedi outfits be similar to Obi Wan's, without considering he was trying to hide on a backwater planet all those years.

I hope Luke still wears black in the sequels.

Oh please. You just need to find someone who isn't a pussy.

By what possible method would Disney be able to track down the place that scanned it, and why would they care? mikeaz123 is who they would target for legal action. (Hope you signed up here under seven proxies!)

Easy for you to say. It's a calculated risk to one's business, however small. And most people do not have a 35mm telecine in their home away from prying eyes.

Have you watched The Animated Series yet? It's essentially the fourth season of TOS in my book.

 

Didn't the Animated series run for two seasons?

Yes, although season 2 is only 6 episodes: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Animated_Series

This was normal even for a popular Saturday morning show in the old days. A handful of new episodes would be mixed in with reruns on a second season.

It's a darn shame there hasn't been an animated Trek since. A TNG series was proposed in the 90's, but those in charge were simply not interested in the idea.

Idea &amp; Info: Cinerama 70mm '2001' preservation. Is it possible?
Time

I am still unable to access much of my video collection because half of my stuff is still blocking the way until some home repairs are finished. To the best of my memory, the original MGM DVD has an animated menu with sounds. (The pod bay door opens and a pod exits Discovery and rotates.) The Warner DVD menu looks similar but is static, yet has the same sound effects playing.

I haven't watched either disc since before I got a widescreen tv, so any aspect ratio difference in the menus would not have been seen by me.
