I understand the disappointment, but I don't know how everyone didn't see this coming.
We didnt see it coming since it was taking time to hear something from Lucas about the blu-rays. I was really expecting the OOT to be released in HD.
Now, all hope is gone and money will be saved.
I got them today and I've watched ROTJ. Damn that was great !
Ok the image is far from behind perfect, but it's stiil enjoyable even strechted to fill the screen. Faces are blurry when many characters are in the scene but hey, no problem, this is the real Star Wars :)
Thanks a lot for all these informations.
It's just that I've heard so many things saying that the GOUT wasn't worth buying it, but everytime I look the 2004 DVD I think "Damn you Lucas, you made dreams for us, and now you blow them up!"
Do you know where I could find screenshots comparing ROTJ's fight between Luke and the Rancor on the GOUT and the new edition ? (When the GOUT was released I saw them somewhere on the internet, now I can't find them)
One last thing about the GOUT : in France, the full trilogy box is around 40$, and if websites aren't wrong you get 6 DVD (each movie in 2004 version + GOUT).
But, if you buy them one by one (at a cost around 10$), you also get 6 DVD for a total cost of 30$.
So I think there's a pricing problem in France since you seem to get the same stuff ?
EDIT : on aptirrelevance.com, there's both NTSC and PAL screenshots from the GOUT. Why ? I can't see any difference between them...
Hey everyone.
I need some help about the "GOUT".
Well, I was born in 1985 and I saw the OT when I was kid, and I think it was before 1997 (since EPI is from 99 and I was addicted a long time ago - in this galaxy).
So I guess that my VHS tapes weren't SE.
The thing is, I loved the Ewok Celebration ending the ROTJ, it was so epic. So when I've bought the 2004 DVDs I was so disappointed with the ROTJ that I wanted to smash it. I'm sure I'm not alone here ;)
+ with ANH I hate all those 3D monsters on Tatooine added for... nothing.
+ and so on and on...
It's there that you can help me, I guess that buying the GOUT would be the only way for me to experience what I saw as a kid ?
Or did I saw something else with small "remasters" back then ?
I don't really want to spend 40$ to get movies that I already own and get versions that I won't enjoy watching since the quality is too "crappy".
Is it possible that I saw the 93 versions on VHS tapes ?
Thanks for your help !
