I never said it was. Thanks for reminding me for the 63rd time though.

I think that the Jedi would only get involved when they found out that the Sith were trying to take over the leadership of the senate. This could then logically lead to the senate being turned against the Jedi. Perhaps some systems would side with the senate and some with the Jedi. This would give rise to the Clone Wars. The division of the senate would allow for the systems that stay to become the Empire. The Empire have a clone army which has been assembled in secret, plus a vast fleet of Star Destroyers. This unexpected show of force overwhelms the opposition.

No, because the first two are in ANH and the last one in TESB!

However, the original mono mix for ANH had both C-3PO's "tractor beam" line and the "close the blast doors" line.

I got this from the Digital Bits and it pisses me off that the OOT isn't getting the same treatment!

" Moving on this afternoon, here's something else that's very cool from Comic-Con. File this as Rumor Mill-worthy, but I learned while down in San Diego that not only is Paramount working to release The Ultimate Star Trek Movie Collection in high-definition on HD-DVD and (possibly) Blu-ray Disc... the studio is quietly remastering all 79 episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series for eventual high-def disc release as well. Paramount also has sparkling high-def masters of all 4 seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise to release on disc. Can't wait to see all of the above!"

Yeah, George is an idiot. Still, I watched a lot of the original Star Trek as a child and that news makes me excited.

The only way he could get my total resect back was if he did an only OOT release somthing like this

Star Wars-
Remastered
Audio choice of mono/70mm/35mm/new 5.1 mix
crawl choice

Empire Strikes Back-
Remasterd
35mm and 70mm version on one disc via seamless branching
5.1 mix

Return Of The Jedi-
Remastered
Audio choice of 35mm/70mm/ 5.1 mix

I would be so happy if something like this was released, all in 16x9 format of course. One can dream though. But I think something like this will be in the 30th ann. boxset. I mean they just cleaned the prints last year agian.

I've never felt horrified by that scene although to be objective, I can't honestly remember my feelings as a young child when I first saw Empire. I remember my folks put that Empire was one of my favourite films growing up. I'm assuming though that if I felt anything it was awe.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Here’s my suggestion for changes it’s long so feel free to glance at it or ignore it altogether.

- The series should’ve started with the Clone Wars in progress.
- The Jedi are devastated after years of war with few members left in their ranks.
- Obi-Wan does some impulsive and dangerous shit every once in a while.
- It is made clear that Yoda was once Ben’s master.
- Anakin should’ve been from some planet other than Tatooine.
- Establish that Anakin and Owen had some sort of relationship.
- Establish that Ben and Owen had some sort of relationship.
- Ben discovers Anakin, sees that he’s a great star pilot and is amazed at how strong the force is with him.
- Ben should convince the council to let him train Anakin. Yoda will object, but will be overruled by the rest of the council because they are running low on Jedi.
- Ben and Anakin both fall in love with Princess Padme of Alderan.
- Ben realizes the danger and stops making advances on Padme. He tries to convince Anakin to stop as well, but Anakin thinks Ben is trying to trick him.
- Anakin can’t seem to best Ben so he seeks out the dark side in order to win the love of Padme.
- Late in the trilogy Owen gets a land grant. It could be revealed that the grant is on Tatooine or it could remain secret until we see him in Episode4, but it is critical that Anakin doesn’t know where he went nor does he care where he went.
- Padme succumbs to Anakin’s advances and he knocks her up, but he doesn’t know it.
- In the duel with Ben Anakin causes a Star Destroyer or something to destroy the Alderan Royal Palace killing either the King or the Queen.
- Anakin thinks Padme and Ben are dead, Alderan swears off the use of weapons and turns isolationist for a while, cutting itself off from the rest of the GFFA.
- Anakin looses body parts over the course of the films becoming more like the Vader we know and love, but the accident on Alderan messes him up on a whole new level.
- Padme and Ben both survive the accident on Alderan and Vader wants to confirm their deaths, but Alderan’s isolation prevents him form gaining access to the planet.
- When the twins are born Ben immediately senses how strong in the Force Luke is. He thinks Leia might have potential as well, but the force just pours off of baby Luke. Ben convinces Padme to let him take Luke.
- When the trilogy ends Ben has taken off with Luke, Padme stays on Aldrean with Leia and Vader is hunting Jedi.

But, yeah, the prequels just had to have some alteration on everybody that wasn't a major character. There were so many almost human with a slight difference races.

Wow, you know, it really makes it feel worth it to be a Hyperspace member to be able to see things like that. I mean, wow, clips from 30 year old movies we already own. That's certainly worth paying money for. But what a crappy trailer. "And learn the shocking truth about Darth Vader. 'I am your father.'" Well, I guess I just learned that shocking truth. No need to buy the movie now... I mean, I know everybody knows it, but do they have to trivialize it that much? I don't see any Citizen Kane trailers saying, "And learn the shocking truth behind Rosebud..." followed by an image of... well, I'm not going to ruin it in case somebody doesn't know.

But, anyway, I digress. It was a crappy trailer. They spent more time talking about that damned video game than they did about the theatrical versions. And they made sure to include as many SE shots as humanly possible. "Now more convenient to own!" I really can't understand their contradictory marketing campaigns, especially when it comes to the wonder and amazement of being available separately. Maybe it's just me, but I don't recall any movie company ever bragging about having to buy three movies separately. They usually start raving about movie collections, but I've never seen anybody brag about how wonderful it is to pull them apart. If they're going to market them as being the OOT, then market them as being the OOT. If they're going to market them as being... um, rebellious individualists, then market them that way. Maybe they're just doing it to cover their own asses, so that when people complain, they'll just point to trailers like this and say, "See, we only devoted about five seconds to that part of the trailer," which is probably how much time they devoted to the movies, "so why would you expect it to be that great?" Um, because your evil twin brother marketing campaign tells us to buy them solely because of that.

Uhg, I know, the marketing is probably the most insulting element of this whole fiasco. From the bad-boy hype of "Han Shot First" to their disrespect for the trilogy's greatest moments (they MUST think the PT is better) . . . it’s just . . . insulting.

But, what is their crown jewel to entice customers? The trilogy separated into three individual packages?! How on earth could that fact ever be special to the degree they're promoting it? They should have used the trailer to talk more about the movies if anything. How absolutely blind can they be?

Oh, and did you notice the generic, radio-station DJ they used as the announcer? He tried making everything sound all impressive in his pathetic voice. It was laughable.

I also agree that we should all do what we can to keep cash out of George’s pocket. I just see that SOME (not all) people are being a little intellectually dishonest about all of this. They say that anyone that buys the DVDs in September is a fool and part of the problem. Then these same people rush off to buy Battle Front 2 and Empire at War and place an even larger chunk of cash in GL’s pocket.

Originally posted by: Darth-Adroit
I agree with those that are angry about this DVD release and I think a message does need to be sent I just hope people aren’t fooling themselves. If you are avoiding the September releases to hurt George you had better avoid ALL LFL licensed products or you’re not doing much.

Seriously, what terrible act could come of a proper OOT release?

This is more of an O-OT complaint than a Special Edition complaint. It's been fixed up for the DVD release and since I don't own a bootleg of the O-OT on DVD, this screen cap from the Special Edition will do. Witihin the original film and still in the SE, this fall always made me go "what the hell just happened?" I still don't get the purpose of this scene (and no doubt some of you will try and put it in perspective for me) and the fall always looked too phony....I can't help it purists but this is one O-OT thing I think was silly. Takes me out of the moment for a second but we're good again once he does get inside the tube although still...wait.....is he just trying to get away from Vader or is he trying to end it all and when he finally gets to the bottom he has a change of heart? heh...anyways.

Then, the real deal was shown. The cantina scene with Han shooting Greedo first was shown and received a huge round of cheers when Han, did, as they are pushing so hard and handing out buttons to state, shoot first. But, oh boy, was there something wrong with what was on screen. Please set aside the issue of the loss of image resolution that the 4:3 letterboxed discs, as what was seen on screen was far more concerning:

Deinterlacing artifacts were visible throughout the clip, showing as horizontal combing in every bit of motion and in every shot transition. Speaking with my friends that I attended with, they all saw it clear as day as well. Not good. I’m rather lousy at understanding IVTC, but what I saw on screen was not acceptable.

I was rather startled at the dismissive attitude from Steve Sansweet towards the informed concerns highlighted from forum users and industry professionals, and the calculated assurances that he made about the supposed quality of the sources used for this project. His final comments on the issue were basically along the lines of “George considers these versions dead to him, so you should be grateful you’re getting them at all.”
