Where are we going with this anyway?
Regarding the 'sitting' AT-AT; I used to have a dog that did the same thing.
The first Trek movie SE was actually pretty good. The shots they added and repaired (I am thinking of the walk to V-GER) were vastly improved, but still look at home in 1979*.
ET, on the other hand didn't work for me. The cg they added to ET's expressions looked awful.
*I could be wrong about the release date.

And avoid the South Park Imaginationland dvd! The video is inexplicably cropped to widescreen even though the episodes were shown on tv 4:3. The back of the dvd even falsely says full screen! Even more inexplicably worse, another reviewer on Amazon claims that it is letterboxed. As in not animorphic which means the video is modified from its aspect ratio to NOT fit any tv screen. That's even more ridiculous than the GOUT.
The newer special editon release of From the Earth to the Moon also suffers from this sin of being letterboxed over the original TV 4:3.
Not to sound like a noob, but do you guys actually sit down in a theater (of a theatre for all of my friends over the pond) and notice, "Hey! this is 1.85:1!"
I'm looking forward to this as well.
Hopefully, they are a very limited collectable. Or at least bio-degradable.
"Around the survivors, a perimeter create."
Niiiiice!
Things I still wish were done are, putting Boba back in (I don't miss Jabba though, they could never get him to work, the tail stomping is silly and the scene is pointless after the Greedo scene) but it have been nice to have dropped the Boba shot into the streets of Mos Eisley as a mysterious figure who may be tracking Kenobi and Co or Han and Chewie only to have his background filled in later (or serve as a reminder of AOTC if seen from 1 to 6).
...
The only addition to Empire I can think of (that has yet to been mentioned as far as I can remember) would be to have the Star Destroyer bridge hit by the asteroid instead of vanishing in an explosive cloud to snap off and fly towards the screen sparking after being hit in the neck. It would explain why her Captain is still alive for a fraction of a second during the video conference with Vader (something I thought was great fun when I was young and still do).
...
I know it's very early days but for Jedi (and boy do you have your work cut out there) my instincts are a little different from yours as I'd keep Boba's womanising but I'd rejig the sabre action on the skiff so rather than have Solo accidentally sending him to his death, I'd have Luke cut his head off mirroring what happened to his father in AOTC. The main subtext of ROTJ is Luke trying to avoid following the same fate as his father, Boba followed his father's path so it makes symbolic sense if he suffered the same fate.
These are interesting ideas. The shot in Empire in particular seemed like a cop-out. A major section of the ship is here one second and gone the next. It definitely needs something.
I wanted to see 3-PO working on binary load lifters.
I agree with the salad bar idea. I wrote up a small piece on canon and SW a bunch of years ago. You can read it here: http://www.starwarz.com/tbone/index.php?categoryid=22&p2_articleid=29
I haven't had a bit of time to dive into it yet. I hope to soon!
What the freak are those?
Exactly. They are course, and rough and they get everywhere.

Sluggo, thanks for helping distribute this. You're without a doubt this forum's greatest asset.
And Mark Haslett! (You're alive!) So glad you got your hands on a copy of this. All of the points you raised I agree with 100%, but like you said...with what I had to work with, I did what I could.
Keep your eyes peeled over at fanedit.org for my Last Crusade edit. If you liked this, then you'll love The Last Crusade: Unholy Edition. It'll be out within the next couple of weeks.
Laterz!
I think you mean, [Palpatine=You're without a doubt this forum's greatest asset.] Which is totally incorrect, of course.
Rowman, your copy is on the way. I've sent out my three, but I can send a few more if necessary.
A Last Crusade edit sounds interesting. I'll be ready to grab it as soon as I can.
There was some talk a little while ago about a multi-disc cover for this set. Did anyone finish one?
Is there nothing Ady can't do?
Pressure's on, LFL! Blue-Ray is in our reach...
I've got some concert videos on DVD that I have been thinking of extracting the audio and burning to a CD. Is it as simple as converting the AC3 audio to a wav file and burning it? Or is there some more elaborate process I ought to follow?
Never heard of it.
For the record, I have had no problems with my Supermediastore purchases. Problems with my computer, that's another story.
*lurk*
I've scanned the card in the past. The scan that is previously posted is about as good as a scan will get.

I'll just mention this again since it didn't get a response earlier: someone should check the Behind the Magic CD-ROM for generator pics. ;)
I scoured the disc and found nothing.
Can't wait to see it! Thanks again for picking that up!
