I also saw the missed throw. This would have been 1977 at the River Hills theater in Des Moines, IA.

Does anybody remember the tv show That's Hollywood? It was a documentary series about movies narrated by Tom Bosley. They used to show tons of clips from Star Wars. I'm thinking the missed throw was shown in a clip on this show.

Which edit is the closest to the actual 1977 theatrical release of Star Wars(e.g. Luke taking two tries to get his grappling hook attached, etc.)? It just floors me how much this movie has been changed over the years.

For many of us, the theatrical experience of the OT was a life changing event. I was 8 yrs old in 1977 when I first saw Star Wars. Without that early influence, my life would probably have been very different. Hell, our entire culture was changed by the experience. I was all in favor of the SEs when they came out especially since it gave me a chance to see the OT on the big screen again. However, after viewing them several times and going back to the OT, they just don't hold up. Many of the additions and changes completely changed the tone of the films. This is especially true in ANH. Many, including myself, fealt these changes were for the worse. GL denying the release of the original cuts was like a slap in the face to us. There was no sound reason other than his own hubris.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Unfortunately, disc space is tight right now so I had to delete OCP ESB from my hard drive. I still have the dvd copy. Can I just copy it back to my hard drive and replace/delete the files? Also, if I can put it back on my hard drive I will seed them for My Spleen once I clear my drives up a bit.

Also, I'm downloading Editdroid's ESB right now. Only getting like 16kbs, but it's better than the 2 or 3kbs I was getting for Cowclops.

Yeah, I've been going back and forth between Editdroid and Cowclops for Empire. They both suck right now. The only edit that has any seeders is OCP, which I can't get to run on my dvd player.

I just finished downloading OCPmovies ESB. When I tried to burn this to dvd I got a "dvd video file realloctaion failed" message. I burned the dvd anyway and it plays on my PC, but not on my dvd player (Panasonic DMR ES20). Are there any fixes for this?

Thank you for the welcome! I've seen the OCP edit mentioned in a few recent posts. How is it compared to editdroid and tr47 mixes?

Hi guys! I'm totally new to the boards and torrenting and pretty much everything else here. First off, I would like to commend everyone on there hard work and willingness to share it with the fans. You guys rock!

I'm currently downloading my first torrent of editdroids version of Star Wars. I have a pretty decent cable connection but I'm only downloading at between 35Kbs and 45kbs. At this rate, it will take over 27 hours to download the file. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
arcadayn

I have seen some screen caps (don't remember what site) that show changes done to reduce the violence in the films. For example, blaster hits on stormtroopers have the flash and smoke reduced. Were these changes made prior to the SE in '97?

Does anyone know if there are any differences between the 1992 Special Widescreen Collector's edition and the 1995 THX Widescreen edition?
