Love this! I have an older version of the RSO album and it is fantastic. A poster on a different board provided Set 2 and it is brilliant as well. I especially enjoy the liner notes. Anyone have a link to sets 1 and 3? I get those and I'm a happy camper. For some reason, I really dig tracks that have the cue numbers as well. Great job all around!

I'm an idiot. There, I said it. With that being said, I need some help. Everytime I try to print out a DVD Cover it is too small. The height works fine but the length is just too short. This is even after I change the settings. I'm assuming there is some small thing I can do that I'm not. Can anyone help me? Also, I have a Dell computer and printer if that helps.

I've been very happy about everything Garrett has done so I would never try to nitpick especially considering there is no chance in hell that I could do it myself. However, that being said and in response to your question, the finale is fantastic and very seemless. There might be a holdover special effect from the Special Editions. I'm not completely sure though. I know there are a couple in other places in the movie but you have to know what your looking for as it is so small. This release though is very very good, and like I said before, the isolated score makes it worth it alone to me.

What else can be said? I got this in the mail yesterday and it is FANTASTIC! Seriously! Garrett has done a tremendous job here! It really is like seeing a pristine copy of what was on the screen in 77. The coolest feature is the isolated John Williams score track. To me, that's the best thing on here and I didn't even know about it til I popped it in! It is very cool watching the movie that way. I would have loved for this to be the one that Lucas put out but oh well. We've all purchased the official video tapes, the Laserdiscs, the DVD's, the soundtracks and multiple times at that. This might just be the coolest one yet!

Hey Neil,

I've followed your posts at the many different sites you post at. I value your opinion. However, the images that I saw are not currently on the DVD. For all I know, those images might have been on the regular prints as well. Bottom line...there were CGI images on at least a few frames of the DLP version that is not visible on the DVD and I am curious why.

I get your point about Star Wars but what about the prequels? Would the 3 Falcons be visible in the Full Frame version? Also, why would they waste time creating CGI that would never be seen in the offical aspect ratio on DVD?

I know that at times with Full Frame movies, there is more information at the bottom of the screen then a Widescreen film. Is this the case with Star Wars too? I've never watched the full frame versions but I guess it might be mildly interesting to watch them if there is more info at the bottom. Does these movies get a special Full Frame transfer like the Pixar movies do? Just curious. Thanks!

Now, I know this is originaltrilogy.com but the people here are probably more knowledgable about different versions of ALL Star Wars movies then anyone. And trust me, this is extremely trivial. I was fortunate enough to catch the DLP screening of The Phantom Menace when it was playing in Burbank, California in 1999. Now, when I'm watching it I noticed that when you see Aurra Sing, the same little creatures that Jabba flicks off the balcony are by her feet. So fast forward to the other day when I'm watching The Phantom Menace on DVD and I can't even see her feet. So, my question is...was the DLP presentation of The Phantom Menace in a different aspect ratio then regular version? Or is there some other answer out there? If somebody has an answer to this ridiculous question I would appreciate it! Thanks!

I watched the whole thing this weekend and I must say that it was fantastic. The quality the whole way through was first rate. I'm sorry that I don't have more to say about it. I wanted to post a long review but all that keeps running through my mind is how much I really enjoyed it. Deleted Magic really brought me back to my childhood. There are tons on extras on this thing, many of which you are likely to have seen anyway, but it's really nice to have it all in one place and with such a wonderful documentary. This is what "Empire of Dreams" should have been. Hopefully the attention drawn to it lately will not keep people from seeing it. It's a must see. Thanks Garrett for making this!

Having seen Deleted Magic originally on T'Bones, I knew I had to get the DVD from Garrett! I haven't watched all of it on DVD yet but I must say this thing is fantastic. I know that people can get it from BitTorrent but you should all take the opportunity to get the "official" DVD from Garrett. The price is pretty damn resonable for all the hard work that went into putting this thing together, and then burnt on DVD with the official disc art, and shipped to you. I don't think he makes a cent on it but I'd think by getting it from him would for sure let him know that you dig it. Now if I could just get him to whip up some "official" DVD cover art and maybe even an insert then I would truly be happy.

I'll watch it all this weekend and put up a review on Monday but I can assure anyone that hasn't seen it that you'll love it!

Wasn't sure if someone already posted this but VH1 is re-airing "When Star Wars Ruled The World" on Friday May 20. Also, does anyone know if the video clips for "When Star Wars Ruled The World" that are on the VH1 site are from the actual broadcast? I seem to remember that these were extras. Thanks!
